The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

No?

I looked up at him and peered into his eyes. There’s no trace of any emotion that would tell me what he was thinking in his head right now.

“I’m not going to stop bringing it up. I’m going to keep saying it until I no longer feel anger every time I think about it, Sophie.” He grumbles.

“Don’t act like you don’t know why I did what I did Aiden! At that time I thought I was making the right choice. I’ve always put Ashton’s best interest before mine

“Putting his best interest by keeping him away from his father. Is that what you call putting his best interest, Sophie!?” He barked, the veins in his neck more visible.

“I did what I thought was right! You’ve always hurt me, I thought you’d hurt him too! I wanted to protect him Aiden. You can’t be mad that I thought you’d not love him, especially with the way you treated me for years.”

My chest rose and fell as I breathed heavily and quickly.

Aiden remains quiet but his stormy gaze is still on me. And then he spoke up after a couple of stifling seconds.

“What makes you think I wouldn’t have loved him, Sophie? Was I that much of a villain in your story that you thought I’d not love my own son?”

I peered at him and then I laughed.

But it comes out dry and dried out of emotion. “Villain? Aiden you must’ve forgotten how you treated me during high school. But don’t worry, you’re not the only villain in my story. I’m also a villain. So I guess we’re both villains. So don’t act like what you’ve done to me is any better than what I’ve done to you. We both screwed up.”

Aiden looked at me and then shook his head. “I’m not going to argue with you right now Sophie. Especially when we both might say something the other will regret.”

I don’t feel like arguing right now either. I’m tired of arguing with you today. Let’s focus on the main issue at hand right now. I refuse to be your secretary if you only
