The Girl He Craves

Sophie's pov

My eyes bulged in shock.

If there was one thing I'd think the Morale's were guilty of, it would not have been incest.

I shivered, my skin crawling. I'm disgusted.

Perhaps I was overreacting since it is but a rumor. But if it were....why would the said bodyguard disappear and have never been seen again after claiming such?

People usually disappear when they've seen something they shouldn't because either the acting parties have paid them off or the acting parties have done something bad to them.

Either way....I can't help but have an inkling that the statement is true.

’Do you think it's true?"

Aiden hums, shrugging a bit. "Christopher has always been really close with his sister, the two are considered inseparable. He’d do anything for her. He sees her as his prized jewel. Everyone knew that.But if they do have a sexual relationship going on, they're doing a good job in hiding it from the public."

If Christopher saw Lillian as his prized jewel then that would mean that he would be very upset if anyone hurt Lillian in any way.

Is that why Aiden slept with her and tossed her like she was used tissue?

Did he do that to get on Christopher's nerves?

Or did he just do it for just the thrill of it?

I bit the inside of my cheek and then voiced out my thoughts. "Is that why you slept with her? Did you want to get one up on him? How did you two even become rivals?"

My brows furrowed as I thought about it.
