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.

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

“Woah guys maybe calm down a bit before we go this ex- treme? You know how these gossip forums operate, some- times they’re false.” Ria said quickly.
