My eyes turn into slits at his face.
“Since when do you care if I get into trouble? Was it not yesterday you said you loathe? So why now care about someone you loathe?” I snapped, trying to pull away from him.
But instead, he stops and tugs me to him.
I let out a rush of air when my front slams against his.
He holds me there, leaning down so our eyes would be leveled.
“And I had every right to say that for what you did to me!” He seethed lowly.
“And you did me worst!” I retorted, glaring into his eyes.
“What did I do to you that was worst than keeping someone’s son existence a secret from them Sophie!?” Aiden growled, lifting his head and pinching the bridge of his nose with his free hand.
“You’re giving me a damn headache.” Sighing he drops his hand at his side but still keeps the other locked around my arm.
“Look, if you pissed about the car be reassured I bought you a new one that
“I don’t need your charity.” I cut off, tugging out of his arm roughly when he least expected it.
“Why are so damn pissed about this!?” Aiden huffed.
“Many women would be happy at the thought of someone buying them a brand new car
“I’m clearly not like other women Aiden.
I don’t need you to buy me anything.
I’m not some charity case.” Aiden’s eyes turned into slits of rage.
“Sophie, my son will not be getting inside that death trap.
It’s either you accept the car or he’ll come with me.
Sophie’s pov
“Oh, I know. He’s some CEO, right? We can search him up online I’m sure some business blogs have published about him.” Mila suggested, looking at me in question.
I stopped my pacing I’ve been pacing the living room floor for hours, chewing on my nails.
It was such a bad habit.
But it was the only thing that can hold my composure a little bit.
I was so scared of what Aiden would do next.
He was always unpredictable.
“Let’s see what he’s been up to for those three years.” Mila continued and looked over at Ria who nodded in agreement.
“Yes, I agree.
Let’s see if we also get some dirt on him we can use.” She nodded and got up from the sofa.
“I’ll go get my laptop.” Mila looks at me in concem.
“Come sit beside me, Soph.
Stop pacing before you leave a hole in the apartment floor.”
I sighed, nodded, and went to sit beside her.
She hugs me sideways.
“It’s going to be line.
If he decides to take you to court we’ll find the best lawyer and we’ll win.
I refuse to stand by and let Aiden bully you like he had done in high school.”
I looked down at my lap.” And how are we going to pay for this lawyer Mila? I’m practically broke.” Mila shook her head.
“We’ll find a way.
Don’t worry.” Ria walks in seconds later with her laptop in her hand.
She struts over to us, sits on the rug and places the laptop on the coffee table.
“I’m not sure what we’re looking for online.
Aiden’s smart enough to not keep his dirty laundry online.” I rubbed my forehead.
It feels like I’ve aged fifty years.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up with grey hair.
Ria shrugged, fixing herself on the rug and reaches for a throw pillow.
“Sometimes the internet can surprise you with how much dirty laundry it can hold.”
Ria starts typing Aiden’s full name after I spelled it out for her.
“So he took over the company two years ago.
Added another billion dollars to the company in just a few months.
He’s also known as the cold casanova who doesn’t stay in a relationship for more than a few days.” Ria read, scrolling through the long article about Aiden. His photo pops up on the screen and my heart jumps.
Even with the stress he had bestowed on me, my stupid heart still beats for him.
Ria scrolled down again and my eyes narrowed on the image that pops up next.
It was Aiden who stood beside an older man who was familiar
Both looked so cold.
There was no warmth in their eyes.
Where have I seen that older man before? Roa continued her scrolling before I could figure out where I had seen the older man before.
“Oh, there’s an interview video.
” She stops scrolling, hovering the mouse over the video.
She looks at me.” Want to listen?” I gnawed on my bottom lip, playing with the ends of my shorts.
I nod and Ria clicks on the video and enlarges it until it took over the screen.
