The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

I grab Ria’s phone, my stomach knotting as I stared at the photo.

I would’ve probably said this was an old photo if I didn’t recognize the same suit he wore today.

But I also recognize that same doctor with pretty hair.

My mouth pressed together as I realized how cozy the two looked. With one of Aiden’s arms secured in her hold and pushed between her boobs, her lips wide with a radiant happy smile as she poses.

The picture was taken today and probably a few minutes ago given that the media was always so quick with the latest news.

I also hadn’t failed to notice that the picture was definitely taken in front of Harrington.co.

I shook my head, my voice cracking as I grumbled out. “Not before I kill him first.”
