Something I was avoiding.
Dammit when will those stairs end!? “Nice name,” I answered vaguely hoping she’d take the hint that I didn’t want to speak to her right now.
She must have realized this because she stays quiet until the stairs finally end and we’re on the floor of Sophie’s apartment.
Noticing that perhaps I was going the same way as her she decides to try her luck again.
“You said you’ve come here for someone…” She trailed off, either wanting me to give her my name or, wanting me to tell her who I was here for exactly. I don’t think neither is her business.
I don’t answer her and just kept walking while looking at the numbers on the doors.
Ria is right behind me and I can feel her stare on my back.
The stare isn’t unnerving, just irritating.
I’m gritting my teeth, looking for Sophie’s apartment number.
When I finally saw it, I halt beside it.
Only for Ria to crash into my back.
My jaw ticks.
I really wasn’t in the mood to snap at anyone that wasn’t Sophie.
I was saving all my anger for her.
But this Ria woman was getting on my last nerve.
I turn around slowly and pinned her with a glare.
She surprises me by not flinching or squirming, only looking at me with a raised brow and uttering.
“You’re blocking my way.
This is where I stay.” She nudges her head to the door.
My brows knot.
Does Sophie share an apartment with her? Something must’ve clicked in her head because she gasps lowly.
“Wait! Are you here for one of my roommates? Is it Mila or Sophie?”
gritted my teeth.
Just great that I would unfortunately be in this woman’s presence longer.
“I’m here for Sophie.” I gritted out, turning away from her and facing the door.
Since she’s here and it’s obvious that this is also her apartment, I’ll wait for her to open the door.
“Woah, go Sophie! Who would’ve thought mama bear would score a hunk like you.” She giggled lowly while fishing her keys in her bag.
Mamabear? As soon as she fetches the keys, she’s quick to open the door, seeming to be excited as she chirped.
“There’s a hot guy here for you Sophie!” The door opens wider and my gaze moves from the door to stare at, her.
Her eyes are wide in shock.
I feel like the air was pushed out of my lungs when my eyes drop to the toddler in her arms.
His head is on Sophie’s shoulder and his blue eyes are piercing through mine in wonder.
Sophie’s holding him warmly and as soon as my eyes fell on the little boy, her hold tighten in protectiveness.
My heart slams against my chest, the words Ria is spitting out not registering as I stare in stunned silence at the little boy in Sophie’s hold.
I wasn’t stunned to see Sophie holding a little boy, I was stunned to see the little boy looking like the exact replica of me.
He had the eyes, the hair, and everything.
He was basically my mini version.
Anger slowly consumed that confusion as everything clicked into place.
This boy was mine.
Undoubtedly my son.
And she kept this from me! I move my eyes off the little boy and pinned them on the woman who I couldn’t help but feel fury towards.
“What the fuck is this Sophie!?” Sophie’s pov “What the fuck is this Sophie!?” Aiden snarls as he steps into the apartment.
Ria had let in the blue-eyed devil.
My heart is pounding into my chest so furiously that I feared I was close to having a heart attack.

“Oh shit,” Mila whispers under her breath.
Ria looks at Aiden and me in confusion.
She darts her eyes between Aiden and Ashton and her eyes widen in realization.
Ash moves his head off my shoulder and looks at Aiden’s seething form.
“Mama, man here angry.” He points a cute finger toward his father.
“I uh
I start, not sure what to say.
I’m lost, I’m confused, I’m terrified.
“I’ll let you two talk in private.
Give him to me Soph.” Mila whispered, outstretching her hand to grab Ash.
He goes into her arms, giggling unaware of the hurricane that would soon destroy the apartment.
Mila looks over at a furious Aiden who hadn’t moved his angry eyes off me once and called out to Ria. “Let’s give them space to talk in private Ria.” Ria cringes and nods while quickly scurrying away. Mila follows after her, Ash staring at Aiden in curiosity until he disappears with Mila into her room. As soon as we’re alone, Aiden slams the door closed roughly and I wince.
“What are you doing here Aiden?” I whispered, my voice shaky.
He raised a taunting brow, sending daggers of anger my way.
