AIDENWhat welcomed me was a picture of me and Sophia speaking to each other at the event I just left and Isabella scoffed when I didn’t say anything.“Did you really think I wouldn’t know what you were up to at that party? I have eyes on you, Aiden,” she sneered, her hands akimbo while she glared at me.“What are you doing here, unannounced, Isabella? I told you to call me before showing up in my house.” I ignored the picture she just shoved in my face as I left for my room and she quickly followed me to stand before me again, blocking me from going up the stairs.“I came here to make dinner for you but I ended up finding out your ungrateful ass was speaking to your ex-wife at that party!” she yelled in my face and I took off my jacket first to feel more comfortable.“Since when did I promise you that I won’t speak to Sophia again, Isabella? Look. I have a headache and all I want to do is go to bed. So if you aren’t here to make things better for me, you should leave at once.” “Or w

SOPHIAIt was going to be quite a busy day for me because it was the weekend but I had work to do.First, I had to head to the charity foundation to speak to Janet over a few charity events we were planning in the next few days.Then I had my date with Beth and since I agreed to it days ago, there was no way I could call it off at the last minute. I didn't want her when she just wanted to be a friend.So I left the house as early as I could and Janet was at the office already. She had all the lists and scheduled programs all laid out on my desk already so all I had to do was go through them while she took notes.Two hours later and a missed call from Beth later, I was done. “I know this isn't the first time we're holding a charity event but I always get jitters when they are around the corner, Miss Hale” she blushed and all I could do was laugh.“Why's that Janet? You should be used to it by now. It's been a year plus already” I enquired and she shrugged.“I mean… Miss Hale, have you

SOPHIA The presentation was gruesome. Questions were thrown from all members of the panel but I came ready with my answers so I made sure to answer as best as I could until my turn was over.I returned to sit beside Damien and he secretly gave me a thumbs up as I arranged my files and kept my laptop.“You did perfectly well. Well done Sophia” he whispered and I smiled in return.“Thanks, Damien” I whispered too and we stopped our exchange when the woman seated beside us cleared her throat before shooting us a glare.Then it was time for Aiden to start his presentation and I held my breath in fear that his would be better than mine. I had to admit, Aiden was good. But I came for this well prepared. Damien trusted me too. So I had to win this project. I had to.I watched him set up his laptop while an assistant shared the papers he brought. I collected a copy for myself and my heart stopped for a moment when I looked up to see him watching me. Our eyes stayed locked while everyone we

SOPHIA My hands were shaking. My heart was thudding so hard against my ribs, I thought it would burst out.I couldn't understand what I felt because it was all rushing through me at once. Was I angry, or embarrassed, or perhaps turned on? I couldn't say.But Aiden did a number on me from the moment he got so close that I could see his eyes and ran his finger across my lips.Everything I'd held against him for the past year went out the window once he touched me like that and I lost my train of thought too. I became a mess in the head. I walked into the conference room and it was empty. Everyone was gone already and only my bag remained where I left it.I grabbed it while I wondered where Damien could be. Then I got distracted when I felt my hands were still shaky so I tried to keep my emotions stable and the door to the room was pushed open.Damien walked in and he looked me over from head to toe as I kept my hands clasped. I tried to look normal as he walked closer and he stood be

AIDENIt was another regular day at work. I was trying to focus on what needed to be done but I couldn't. Sophia's face. Her eyes; the way her pupils dilated. How her lips parted when I touched them.That encounter was engraved in my mind. I couldn't get rid of it. And the longer I recalled it, the more my body itched for hers. It craved hers. It needed her just to be close to me.I sighed as I dropped the file in my hands and cradled my head. The words in front of me blurred and I knew that going further with work will only be a waste of time.I decided to take the day off. Unwind somewhere more relaxing and hopefully, reduce the way thoughts of Sophia tortured me in my head. With that, I got out of my chair and grabbed my jacket. Then I grabbed my stuff and left the office to find my secretary working.“I'm leaving for today already. I have some opened files on my desk so arrange them for me, alright?” I told her and she nodded in response.“Of course, Mr Cross. Have a great day!”
