SOPHIA“Miss Hale, you're under arrest for the murder of Beth Carter. You have the right to a lawyer and anything you say or do will be used for or against you in the court of law” Those were words I never thought I would ever hear but once Damien Locke and Elena were involved, there was no limit to the length they could go just to bury a person.My blood ran cold as Aiden and I stood by the door to the house. The police officers stood before us, their judgemental eyes boring into ours and all I could do was stare in disbelief. Beth Carter was dead?“What do you mean by that? Beth Carter was murdered? I just saw her earlier today!” I finally found my voice and one of the officers rolled his eyes at me before he pulled handcuffs out of his pocket.“For now, you have to come with us. The case will be investigated and once you're proven innocent, you'll be freed” he returned, holding the cuff out for me to bring my hands forth.Quickly, Aiden stepped forward and hid me behind him, the

SOPHIAMy knees buckled and I fell to the ground once Damien and Elena walked out of the visiting area. Alone with my misery, I let the tears fall.Then the officer pulled me back up to my feet and when I looked at him, the scowl was back on his face. He had so much contempt for me and I wondered because he didn't even know me. “Come on, back to the cell” he grumbled while pulling me along with him. I couldn't say a word as I let him manhandle me. More tears kept trickling down my face as Damien's words kept playing in my head and I wondered if I would ever be able to leave this station. I doubted Aiden would just hand half of his company's shares to Damien for me. That seemed to be very impossible and I wouldn't blame him if he decided to abandon me.He'd done enough for me already.The officer pushed me into the cell before taking off my handcuffs. Then he locked the door and sent me one last scowl before walking away.Once he was gone, I fell to the ground and the dam opened. Te

AIDEN“Hello, Mr Cross. It's been a while” a familiar voice spoke to me over the phone and my grip tightened on the steering wheel as I inhaled. I was raging so much that I was left to wonder how I could still focus on the road.I had to drive though. It was the only way I could reach my destination to do what I had in mind.“I want you to do something for me. I’ll pay you any amount you want, just do a clean and quick job for me” I said and there was silence. Then the person on the other line chuckled dryly.“Another dirty job, isn’t it?” “Yes. I don't want it to lead to me… if you get caught” I answered and the man sighed.“Sure. What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.“Keep a watch on Damien Locke for me and also, I want you to get me a record of his past activities. The good, the bad, the dangerous, I want all of it. Documents, videos… anything you can get your hands on. Get all of them for me” I replied and silence followed again.“You’ll pay me whatever price I call, huh?

SOPHIAThere was a loud bang on the bars and I snapped my head up to find a new face staring at me. It was another officer. This time, a woman and she had a smile on her face. Confused about why she would look so happy to see me, I watched her pull open the bar to walk in and she came toward me, the smile still on her face.“Come on, Miss Hale. You're free to go now” she told me while holding out a hand to pull me up but I didn’t trust what she just said. There was no way I would be getting released except… No! Aiden wouldn’t do that. He wouldn’t give away what he’d worked so hard for just like that.“What?” I asked her in disbelief, hoping she would repeat herself again and her smile grew wider.“I know it’s hard to believe but you’re free to go, Miss Hale. We would have one of the officers drive you home since Mr Cross won’t be able to make it here to take you. Is that fine with you?” she asked, making sure I heard her well this time and my throat went dry.Reluctantly, I took her h

SOPHIAI closed my eyes as Aiden kissed me on the forehead. I wanted to make the feeling last. The way my toes curled as his skin touched mine, how my heart soared as he held me so close like he was scared to lose me. I didn’t want it to go away.Seconds passed and he pulled back to look at me while I used his arm as a pillow. He didn’t speak. He just stared with a smile stuck on his face and that made me chuckle.“What are you thinking?” I asked him. He shook his head.“Just… how lost I would have been if you were still locked up” he answered. I laid my head on his chest when he said that and in turn, he patted me on the head. “It’s a good thing I’m here then. Even though you had to do what Damien wanted to have me back” I told him and he kissed me on the forehead again.“”I told you. You don’t have to bring that up again” he said but I didn’t think that would ease my conscience. So I looked at him to find he was looking at me too.“But this happened because of me. Damien had the ad
