The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

“Oh, I know. He’s some CEO, right? We can search him up online I’m sure some business blogs have published about him.” Mila suggested, looking at me in question.

I stopped my pacing I’ve been pacing the living room floor for hours, chewing on my nails.

It was such a bad habit.

But it was the only thing that can hold my composure a little bit.

I was so scared of what Aiden would do next.

He was always unpredictable.

“Let’s see what he’s been up to for those three years.” Mila continued and looked over at Ria who nodded in agreement.

“Yes, I agree.

Let’s see if we also get some dirt on him we can use.” She nodded and got up from the sofa.

“I’ll go get my laptop.” Mila looks at me in concem.

“Come sit beside me, Soph.

Stop pacing before you leave a hole in the apartment floor.”
I sighed, nodded, and went to sit beside her.

She hugs me sideways.

“It’s going to be line.

If he decides to take you to court we’ll find the best lawyer and we’ll win.

I refuse to stand by and let Aiden bully you like he had done in high school.”
I looked down at my lap.” And how are we going to pay for this lawyer Mila? I’m practically broke.” Mila shook her head.

“We’ll find a way.

Don’t worry.” Ria walks in seconds later with her laptop in her hand.

She struts over to us, sits on the rug and places the laptop on the coffee table.

“I’m not sure what we’re looking for online.

Aiden’s smart enough to not keep his dirty laundry online.” I rubbed my forehead.

It feels like I’ve aged fifty years.
