Aiden’s pov

I’m marching down the lengthy staircase, cursing every living thing I can think of.

I’m frustrated. I’m confused. I’m hurt.

Thad not expected something like this from Sophie. Not the innocent girl I painted in my head years ago.

But then I remembered how she abandoned me in jail and then I realized Sophie was never the innocent girl I portrayed her to be.

I opened the old door, shouldering a woman who was just entering. I’m too angered and frustrated to apologize. She curses me and I ignore her as I march over to the SUV waiting for me.

Mitch is ducked in a way that you’d not notice him at first glance. And though the sight is rather amusing, I don’t laugh nor smile.

The only thing I feel is anger. Towards Sophie. Burning rage.

Mitch notices me and fixes himself on the seat and unlocks the door. I open the door and got in. I’m breathing heavily and literally breathing out fire.

Mitch looks at me through the rearview mirror and looks confused and worried. “Are you okay Mr. Xavier?”

I ran my shaky hand through my nose and looked at the apartment. I shake my head in disbelief.

“I have a son.” I breathed out slowly in disbelief. Now saying it out loud, I can’t help but think that maybe I had gone mad.

Maybe I didn’t have a son and this was all an illusion.

I shake my head. That was impossible.

Ashton was as real as anyone. I felt him, I held him in my arms. He’s mine. He’s my son. He’s not a hallucination and a fragmen of my imagination.

He was real.

I groan in frustration and anger. Him being really made it all the more hurtful that Sophie didn’t tell me about him.

“Pardon Mr. Xavier?” Mitch asked, looking at me confused.

I shake my head and passed a hand over my face. “I have a son Mitch. A fucking son that I didn’t know about.” I groaned.
