The Girl He Craves

Chapter 126

Sophie’s pov

I’m still flabbergasted by what transpired only a few seconds ago.

Feeling Ashton’s small little hands on my cheeks, as if silently reassuring me everything was okay, was what made me finally remove my eyes off the door to stare into his wide blue eyes similar to his dad’s.

They stared at me deeply, as if knowing that I was upset. I smile shakily at him, and hugged him to me.

“I’m sorry you had to hear that bug,” I whispered, kissing his forehead a couple of times before he started to giggle and unfreeze my heart again.

I sighed and looked around the room, Sergio’s words ringing. in my head. I wish things were easier, where there was nothing standing in the way of Aiden’s and I’s relationship.

But it seems we would always go through trials….this one so happens to be the most powerful man in New York.

I chewed on my lips, a cold shiver running down my spine and I had to clutch Ashton more firmly to reassure myself that everything would actually be okay.

There was a warning in Sergio’s tone when he left. One that should shake me to the core. And it did.

It showed me that he had the upper hand. And would probably always have the upper hand.

I felt sick to my stomach by his words, especially the threat that hanged in the air.

But what could I do?

I could tell Aiden about it, but risk his past being in the media. They’ll slander him, and me. They’ll turn their backs on him.

Like Sergio said, the internet was a very cruel place.

I could only imagine how others would react oustide of the internet.

I shook my head.
