The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 175

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.

Christopher and Aiden were like two princes battling for the throne. Only one could conquer such a

high position.

Aiden looks away, his face flushed with embarrassment. "Yes. It was to irritate him. I regret doing that

and can't justify myself. I was an asshole. Plain and simple. I'm not going to try to make you feel like

you need to forgive me. Be upset with me all you want, as long as you still love me, I can take it."

’I'm not upset with you about it, well not anymore. If anything, I was jealous that you slept with others.

But it's all in the past now and I don't see it doing any good to hold on to such feelings anymore." I

admitted while playing with Ashton's fingers.

He had quieted down and was now bubbling with slight giggles.

Aiden looked at me in guilt, his face twisting with pain. "I'm sorry Soph. There are so many mistakes I

had done in the past, mistakes that brought you pain. I wished I could go back and rewrite them."

He shifts closer to Ash and me and loops his arm over my shoulder. He tucks me closer until I had no

choice but to rest on his shoulder. "But let me make one thing clear to you Sophie Bell, no other girl,

woman, no one could ever compare to you. You've been it for me before you even knew. There's no

need to be jealous of anyone. Not when my heart only beats for you my love."

He kisses my head tenderly and interlocks our fingers. He sighed, as if the feeling of being close

brought him some peace with his raging thoughts. I knew his thoughts were scattered, especially with

what happened to him today, there was no way he was not overthinking.

I'm happy that I could at least bring some sense of peace to his thoughts.

’I promise to fix this. I promise." He sighed, hugging me and Ash closer as if the mere thought of us

being farther away made him sick.

I squeezed his hand because I believed him. If anyone had to fight Sergio and had a chance, it would

be Aiden.

There was nothing more strong willed than a man who had been threatened to lose his family. Aiden

was not willing to give us up easy, and neither was I going to give him up.

No more.

No one will get in between our future again.

No one.

Aiden pulls away reluctantly while murmuring. "I'll be back, baby. I need to make a few calls and I will NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

be back."

The way he spoke I knew he was going to make calls to his private investigator. Aiden was ready to go

on the offense.

Meredith's pov

I stormed my way to the huge door.

’Hunny, are you sure about this?" Grant rushed behind me.

Grant never liked confrontation.

But I have Harrington in my blood, we love confrontation. We crave winning an argument.

"This has to stop today Grant. I can't have him hurt our boy. He finally found his peace, a family, and

the love of his life. I can't let father make those beautiful things slip through Aiden's fingers for his own

selfish gain." I grit as I pound my fists on the door.

It shook, surprising Grant with how much power I possess.

The door rattles for a few until a young maid pries it open. Her eyes are bulged with fear and shock.

’Get out of my way." I snapped, brushing passed her while yelling. "Father!"

"Miss! Miss. Miss!" The young maid rushes towards me, trying to stop my advances.

I shrugged her off. ’Move out of my way girl, I came here to speak to my father." I snapped.

"Hunny, maybe you should calm down," Grant suggested.

’I will not calm down until I see him.' I sneered, resuming my way to the top floor.

"Miss, he's not here-

I snorted. *0h please darling, I know my father is here. His favorite coat is still hung by the door."

She looks surprised and then her shoulders sagged.

’Fine. I will bring you to him."

She walks past me and Grant and I followed her to a tall thick wooden door.

Flashes of a young girl knocking on that same door, begging her papa to play with her made my heart

ache.

That young girl was me.

A very long time ago.

A time when I thought dads were supposed to protect their kids no matter what.

The young maid pushes the door open, revealing a huge office.

Father is there and Margo. He's seated at his desk while Margo nurses the wounds on his face.

When his eyes fell on me, a grin paints on his face. ‘My sweet daughter. You finally came.
