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

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

SOPHIAMorning 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

SOPHIA “You can't tell them anything when you get back to the dining room, Sophia. In fact, you won't. Instead, you will change your dress, eat the rest of your dinner in silence and leave with Aiden once it ends. Alright?”Elena told me immediately I shut the bathroom door after us and I was quite surprised to know she still had such audacity. Even though she was the one at my mercy.“Is that a threat or a plea?” I asked her, my arms folded across my chest and she ran her fingers through her hair while her eyes parted back and forth uneasily. She was truly panicking… She even looked desperate. “I don't care what you think it is so take your pick. All I know is you shouldn't say anything to mum and dad. Or I'll make you regret it” she hissed, causing me to chuckle in amusement while I nodded my head.“So it is a threat” I took my pick like she told me to and she began to blink frantically. “Do you think Damien is just going to sit back and let the both of you have your way? It doe

SOPHIA“We only need your help to stop Elena from causing any more trouble before it’ll cause reputational damage to Hale’s Dynasty. We both know the public won’t be forgiving if they find out what she’s done and it’ll definitely affect the family business” I told my parents while the maids packed up the dishes from the dining table and they still couldn’t bring themselves to say anything after everything we’d told them. We’d shown them the evidence and once they saw we had a lot of it, they realized it was a futile fight for Elena. She’d been cornered and there was no saving her. Especially after the things she’d done. They were unforgivable.“She’s right, Mr and Mrs Hale. The company is doing very well right now and even though that is all thanks to Elena, we can’t ignore the fact that she’s gone beyond control. Damien Locke is a very dangerous man who won’t hesitate to take out anyone in his way and she joined hands with him”“He almost killed Sophia but thankfully, I got there o
