I quickly do the same when Sergio walked with a poise. that showed he’d run through me like a train if I hadn’t moved.
“I will keep in touch,” Sergio said coldly and disappeared out of the door.
The bodyguards followed after him and as soon as the door closed behind them, my arms fold under my breasts as turn to Aiden with a furious glare.
“What the fuck is going on Aiden!?” I hissed.
I couldn’t believe he put me on the spot like that with his grandfather slash chairman of Harrington.co!
Aiden’s stormy gaze snapped to mine and he looks irritat- ed and pissed off. But those emotions are not aimed at me.
“What else do you think is going on Sophie?” He answered bluntly./
Oh no. I wouldn’t allow him to push me into a mess and act like it was no big deal when it clearly was!
I scowled at him and march over to him until I was mere inches away from his intimidating form. He’s towering over me and obviously more powerful but that doesn’t stop me from poking the bear.
“No. You don’t get to pretend that this is not a big deal when it is Aiden! You said I was your fiance to your grandfa- ther! Do you not see how crazy this is!? Why would you even say something like that!?” I snapped, poking him more.
His hand grasps my finger and he stops my actions. “Sit down and calm down. I’ll explain everything to you. But first you need to stop plotting my murder in your pretty little head.” He pokes the middle of my forehead and I swat at his hand.
He grins, drops my finger, and then walks away.
I’m silently seething hating that I managed to get myself in a pickle yet again with Aiden.
Aiden walks over to his desk and chair and sits down like we were not in an intense conversation with his grandfather a few minutes ago.
How can he change those switches so quickly? He has a real talent for changing his mood with a snap of his fingers.
Seeing that he wouldn’t tell me anything unless I have a seat, I made my way over to the lounge sofa and sit down slowly while looking at him in expectation.
He better give me a good explanation as to why I am sud- denly his fiance to his grandfather.
Or else I’m removing those heels and planting them on his forehead. I promised to myself as I fixed myself on the sofa.
One of Aiden’s elbows is on his desk, his fingers rub against each other as he looks at me intensely.
My grandfather found me someone to marry.” Aiden suddenly said, breaking the tense atmosphere.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.” I 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 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.
