The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 88

Sophie’s pov

I’ve heard those words more than once now and it still

leaves a bitter feeling in my chest.

Was this how the rich actually is? I thought those only. happened in books and movies.

But I suppose I was wrong.

Aiden continues when he sees that I was not willing to cut him off.” He wants me to marry the daughter

of our business partner to tie the two companies together. Doing so would benefit both companies.”

My heart feels heavy. Did he want to marry this girl? If so why did he force me to act like I was his

fiance?

Aiden looks at me for a few before saying. “But I refused. As you’ve noticed by his aura Sergio is a very

powerful man who always gets what he wants. He wouldn’t stop until I settle down. Especially with his

need to fix the public view of me, given my reputation. There was only one way that could get him off

my back.”

He looks at me silently, gauging for my reaction.

“And that way was for you to say that I am your fiance.” | nod, now understanding.

Aiden nods, looking pleased that I hadn’t yelled at him.

And boy was he wrong to rejoice so soon.

My gaze switched from understanding to fury. “Aiden are you fucking insane!?”

“I assure you that I am not.” His lips tug upwards into a grin.

This man was finding amusement in this fucked up situa- tion. I don’t know if to be surprised or not.

My eyes burn with fury as I shoot him daggers across the room. “You can’t just say that I am your

fiance and catch me off guard like that! I had no choice but to play along to your stupid game. If this is

about your reputation all you had to do was go on a pussy cleanse. I’m sure your grandfather would Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

stay off your back and the public eye too.” I ranted in a screech of anger.

Did he seriously get me into this mess because of his pub- lic reputation?

He could’ve kept his dick out of every hole he wanted to dip into.

Now I’m pulled into a mess I didn’t want to partake in.

Aiden’s eyes narrowed on my face. “You must not know how tabloids work Sophie. I can be seen in a

business meeting with a woman and automatically it’s my new playtoy for the day. Even if I take that

‘pussy cleanse’ those tabloids will find it in their way to create a false story to show that I’m still keeping

up with my old ways.”

I stay silent, seething inwardly when I realized that I might be doomed. How will I get out of this when I

played along with Aiden’s damn story?

Was there even a way out?

Aiden sighs brushing a hand down his face in frustration. “So you see this was the only way I could

truly win this. You being my fiance will make those tabloids think I’m finally set- tling down. Sergio will

also be pleased and hop off my back.”

I shook my head.

He can’t possibly not see how much shit we will be in when everyone would find out that we were

acting.

Going with this absurdity would push me into the public eye too. Something I never wanted and never

will now.

Ashton…

Did Aiden not think of Ashton at all?

What would happen when those cameras switch on our relationship? What would happen when they

find out that I had a son?

What would happen when they see the sparkling uncanny resemblance between Aiden and Ashton?!

What would his grandfather say too? He already clearly hated me. Would he treat Ashton any

differently?

“With all your stupid planning did you not think of our son and what the public would say about him?

Did you not think at all Aiden!? We can’t drag an innocent child into your mess! You should’ve kept your

dick tucked and not wave hello to ev- ery woman using that dang thing!” I yelled.

My fingers are itching to remove my heels and fling them at him. He deserves a knot or two.

So much for us finally seeing a little eye to eye. Now we’re

back on square one.

Fucking fantastic.

Did Aiden really have to ruin it?

Could he not have found another solution?

Why did I not stop it when I had the chance? I could’ve called him out on his bullshit.

But instead I played along with him.

Stupid stupid Sophie.

What have you done?

Aiden winced which told me I was right. He hadn’t thought of the cons when making that stupid plan.

He rubs a hand down his face and mutters the word fuck.

Yes Aiden. Fuck indeed.

You’ve royally screwed us both and it seems for the first time you’ve now noticed your wrongs.

“I didn’t have time to think of another solution Sophie. You were the only option. It was either you or get

dragged into settling down with a woman I don’t love just for the sake of the company.” He grumbles.

I shook my head and clapped my hand lightly. “Wow Aiden Xavier, the big bad blue eyed devil didn’t

have other so- lutions to unscrew himself and decided to pull his child’s mother in his mess too.”

Aiden glared at me in annoyance.

the truth Sophie. I didn’t have a choice-

You know that’s not

I held my palm up and shook my head. “No Aiden. That’s where you’re wrong. You always have a

choice but you never choose right. Can’t you see this will only benefit you? Your reputation will be

clean while mine, God knows what they’ll say about me especially when they find out about my back-

ground. ”

I laughed dryly as I cracked. “Just imagine their reaction when they find out I got pregnant as a

teenager. And imagine their faces when they know that I got pregnant fby you. What would you do then

Aiden? What would you tell them? And what if they dig so much they find about-

I stopped my heart growing heavy. I hate thinking about Carson. I always feel sick to my stomach.

Aiden’s gaze grow cold as if knowing what I was about to say. He probably did.

“They don’t have to know about your past Sophie. There are ways I can hide them from the public eye.

The same way I hid that I served jail time for a crime I did not commit.” He said in a cold voice that

lacked emotion.

“Then why don’t you hide your playboy ways from the public eye Aiden instead of thinking about this

absurd idea?!” I huffed.

No wonder there were no records of his past in high school when I searched online. He cleaned out his

records.

Aiden snorted and leaned back in the chair. “You see So- phie, I can hide what the public eye has no

knowledge of, but I

can’t hide something they’ve seen already. I was quick to clean off my record before I turned Ceo.

Before they even knew the name Aiden Xavier.”
