Sophie’s pov

I shook my head.

He wasn’t getting it.

This was far too dangerous. We can’t go through with this.

“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. What am I suppose to say when they ask why Ashton was never seen with you?” I threw up my hands in exasperation.

Aiden’s gaze turned stormy, he was angry. “He’s my son too Sophie! I’m a CEO, the richest in New York. Every tabloid hangs off on every word I say, every move I make. It wouldn’t be long until they find out about him. He will be in the public eye no matter how much we fight this.”

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.

What did I expect anyway? This was Aiden we were talk- ing about.

The guy only thinks for himself and what would benefit him, not caring about the other people he’ll put in the cross- fire.
