Mag-log inSOPHIAMorning came and by the time I was up, breakfast was ready.Aiden already had it served when I joined him in the kitchen and together, we ate. I could feel the many cameras from corners, across the street and even the camouflaged ones as Aiden and I walked down to the nearest grocery store. I found myself wanting to go back home the farther we got and when Aiden noticed, he took my hand and held it tight.“You look nervous” he said while watching me with concern and I nodded in admittance.“That's because I'm feeling nervous as hell, Aiden. There are cameras everywhere and it's making me uncomfortable… I've never experienced something like this before” I told him and he smiled as gently as he could. “Well, we agreed to hang out together in public as many times as we could. We can't let Elena think she's winning by hiding away… that's what you said” he reminded me but I scoffed in regret.“And now, I'm wishing I didn't say any of that. I underestimated what it would feel like
SOPHIAI took off my shoes immediately we walked into the living room. Then I picked them up and turned around to face Aiden who was right behind me. “Goodnight, boyfriend. Dream of me” I winked at him teasingly while walking toward the stairs with my back facing it.“No” he replied and that made me frown in confusion. “Uh, why?” I asked him but he only grinned at me while pulling his hands out of his pockets. “Why would I have to dream about when I've got you here with me… girlfriend?” He answered and I could feel my face getting hot the longer he stared.Layers of depths were held behind his soft and loving gaze and I couldn't bring myself to look away from his hypnotic eyes. I was stuck and I didn't want anything else. “Why do you keep staring?” I asked him.“Because I can't take my eyes off my girlfriend” he replied cheekily and that made me grow a smile I couldn't hold back.“Stop saying it repeatedly. You're going to make me sick of that word” I told him but he shook his hea
SOPHIA“Look at me, Sophia” Aiden's calm voice slowly pushed the rage I felt away and I stole a glance at him before looking away.“I lost my temper, Aiden. How can you even look at me after seeing that?” I asked him while calming my face in embarrassment. He chuckled in amusement before taking my hands. Then he pulled them away from my face and I was forced to look at him. He was smiling so widely I wondered what was so funny.“Why do you look so amused?” I asked him and he shrugged.“That was the first time I ever saw you getting that angry. It was…” “Embarrassing, right?” I asked him but he shook his head.“It was new… and sort of exciting” he whispered the last part before he gently bumped his nose against mine and to say I was surprised would be an understatement.“Exciting? You're just saying that to make me feel better right?” I asked him in doubt but he shook his head. “Not at all, Sophia. I meant what I said… seeing you lose your temper was kinda hot” he told me and I grin
SOPHIA“Please don't call the police. I'll tell you everything you want to know” Martha panicked while my heart raced with fear.What if Aiden hadn't confronted her? What would she have done to me? Was the drink she brought for me even safe? What if it was poisoned?A million and one questions flooded my head as I stared at her in horror and I couldn't believe I was so gullible to fall for a fake friendship scheme from someone else again after Beth. “Who hired you?” Aiden asked Martha who hadn't said a word yet and she swallowed heavily while looking at me and then back to him.“Speak before I lose my temper!” Aiden snapped through gritted teeth as he tried to not cause a scene and she began to wring her fingers while keeping her head bowed. Obviously in shame.“It was Elena Hale, your sister. She hired me to knock you out with sleeping pills because she plans to have you taken away tonight” She finally told the truth and all the noise around me suddenly went mute.Silence surrounde
AIDEN“Hello, Damien. You seem to be in a good mood tonight” I mocked as I joined him on the balcony where he stood.He glared at me while taking a sip from his glass of wine. Then he looked away.“Go away, Aiden. I'm not in the mood to speak to you tonight” he snapped and I chuckled in amusement as I walked closer to him.“Do you think you should be saying that to me after the fucking stunt you pulled on Sophia?” I asked him and he smiled as he faced me.“You should have expected that, Aiden. You're the business man so you should know how we do these things” he replied with so much confidence that it pissed me off.Angrily, I got so close to him to punch him in the face and it took me a great deal of self restraint to hold back once I realized where we were.“Watch your word or I'll…”“Hit me? I've got a bodyguard in the corner, Aiden and he'll hit you so hard if you touch me. Trust me, it'll hurt” he boasted before taking another sip from his wine.I flexed my hands angrily while I
AIDEN“When you meet Elena tonight, are you going to confront her about the pictures?” I asked Sophia while I helped her zip up her dress and she shook her head while she fixed her hair.“No. I won't give her the satisfaction of showing I'm affected by her tricks. I'd rather act like she doesn't exist then give her attention she doesn't deserve” she said while looking in the mirror and I smiled to myself. “Good” I kissed her on the back where her dress left exposed and she giggled in reaction.“That tickles” she cooed, making me grin to myself as I turned her around to face me.“Are you ready for tonight? It'll be our first time going to an event as a couple and people will have questions”“Damien will also be writhing in rage in some corner while we're having fun… so yes, I'm ready” she told me and we shared a brief kiss before she grabbed her purse.Together, we left for the car where it waited and I helped her with the door before joining her.“To the venue” I told the driver and
