“It wouldn’t matter if you scrap everything about me Aiden. It wouldn’t leave out the fact that we have a son to- gether. They will piece together everything and will know that I was a teen mother.

I don’t care if he’s my boss or not. He should never have placed me in such a position that I was too dumbfounded to know better.

I ruffled my hair, not even caring that I was messing it up. Damn him for putting me in this position.
