The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 169

Sophie’s pov

My heart lurches in my throat, not because I was scared for Aiden, but because I was scared for RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Christopher.

“Aiden, you can’t.” I whispered while shaking my head.

He tore his eyes away from mine and growled at Mitch. “Bring me to him Mitch.”

Mitch nodded, his eyes wide with alert.

I grasp Aiden’s fisted hands, and swallowed harshly. “You can’t please. I don’t want them to lock you up

again.”

“It’s a bit too late for that Sophie. He touched you. He forced himself on you. That bastard needs to be

taught a lesson before he’s put into jail.” Aiden muttered under his breath which was way scarier than

him blasting off.

I gripped his hands harder. “Aiden, please think this through.”

I was now thinking that perhaps telling Aiden was not the best choice. Now he may actually have blood

on his hands, and I would be the cause of it, yet again.

I feel my tummy twist and churn by the very thought.

“Mitch.” Aiden gritted, glaring at the seat. “Step on it.”

My heart drops. It seems that no matter what I say now, Aiden would not change his mind.

We were nearing where I met up with Christopher and I gripped Aiden’s hand tightly. “Aiden.”

Mitch stopped beside the curb and looked at Aiden through the rearview mirror. “We’re here.”

Aiden nods, peeling himself away from me.

He gets out, looking at me. “It’s either you bring me to him or I find him myself.”

I shook my head. “I’m not going to risk losing you.”

The coldness in his eyes dimmed and he looked at me tenderly. “Soph. I’ll do anything for you, you

know that. But what I can’t do is sit here and let someone mistreat you like that. I swore to protect you,

and that I will do.”

My heart jumps.

My eyes move off his. “I know Aiden. But that doesn’t mean you have to risk your life for me. So no I

refuse to bring you to that asshole.”

I prayed my defiance would make him see my point of view but I suppose it didn’t.

“That’s a risk I’ll always take Sophie. I’ll be back soon.”

Aiden leaves me open mouthed as I peer at his storming form. He enters the building, leaving me

stunned in the car.

This will not end well.

I looked over at Mitch, glaring at him slightly. “Could you not have taken a wrong route? Or perhaps

drive slow until I could figure out a way to change his mind?”

I knew he wasn’t at fault and he was only doing his job but I was frustrated and he was the only one

nearby to pass it all on.

Which is really awful of me to think about it.

Mitch winced. “Sorry. Aiden’s my boss and I can’t exactly disobey him.”

I breathed out a sigh, pushing myself closer to the door. “I know. I’m sorry. I’ll be back.”

I stepped out of the car, my short legs surprisingly racing towards the building I came out of an hour

ago. –

I found Aiden by the receptionist, slamming his palm on the countertop. The woman flinched, eyes wide

with terror.

Never had I seen Aiden this furious before.

It was quite terrifying.

“Aiden.” I grasp his elbow, pulling him away from the startled woman.

“This isn’t going to help. You can’t do this like this.” I whispered under my breath as he raked a

frustrating hand through his hair.

“That sleazy bastard must’ve known I was coming for his ass. He went to hide like the fucking lapdog

he is. ” He sneered, pulling away from my hold so roughly I stumbled back.

“Are you sure Christopher Muralo isn’t here anymore? “He barked at the woman again, terrifying her

enough to have her visibly shake like a leaf in the wind.

She shook her head no.

“He clocked out thirty minutes ago with a woman. But he did leave a note for Sophie?” She looks over

at me questioningly.

I looked at Aiden warily when I noticed him stiffening like a board.

My eyes drop to his hand, they’re fisting and scaring me.

“Give it to me,” Aiden demanded her.

She nervously shook her head, backing away. “He said to specifically give it to Sophi-

“Give it to me goddammit!” Aiden roared, his voice so loud attracted many eyes and ears.

I winced, rushing over to the front desk and smiling shakily for the woman. “I’m Sophie. You can give it

to me.”

She nods, looking relieved, and quickly took a small note under a hardcover book.

She hands it to me.

Aiden comes behind me, his aura making me squirm as I slip the paper and read the words.

I grew rigid with disgust and anger.

You taste sweet, now I know why Xavier can’t seem to stay away from you. See you soon beautiful X-

Christopher

Aiden rips the paper away from my grasp and storms away.

“Aiden!” I called out in shock.

I looked back at the woman apologetically. “I’m sorry about this.”

With that, I whirl around and followed after a very swift Aiden.

“Where are you going?!”

With that kind of walk and form, it would honestly be shocking if he was going home.

He was definitely planning to go after Christopher.

“To pay an old man a visit.” He hissed under his breath.

E

My eyes slightly widen.

Was he going to pay a visit to Sergio?

“Sergio?” I voiced out.

He opens the door and helps me in while climbing in after me

“Yes Sergio. That fucker is the only one who would know where that sleazy fucker is. ”

Aiden was really hell bent on making Christopher pay with his own hands.

“Aiden I don’t like this. Let’s just leave it to the cops please.”

“Sophie. I’ll only leave it to the cops when I’m done with the two.”

I don’t say anything after that. What would be the point to?

He’d not listen anyway.

We stay silent the entire ride until we got to Sergio’s mansion. Aiden was already out of the car before

Mitch even stopped the moving vehicle.
