Sophie’s pov

We continued to eat breakfast only for a few minutes later for his phone to start ringing again.

This time Aiden grunted a low curse which made me shoot

him an angry dagger. He winces and pulls out his phone while avoiding my angry gaze.

“What?” He barked.

He stays silent for a few but then his eyes began to swirl with that storm I thought he had gotten rid of.

I shiver, feeling sorry for the person on the other line.

“Fine. I’ll be there in a few.” He hissed angrily and ends the

call.

My stomach drops a little with disappointment at his words but then I realized I shouldn’t be. He was

after all the boss and should always be present at the workplace.

Aiden looks at me apologetically. “I’m sorry mama bear, there’s a bit of trouble at the office I need to

see to. I promise to get back as soon as possible. Do you mind waiting for me here baby?”

His eyes softened considerably when his focus was on me. Gone was the storm, but irritation still

swirled through his blue pools.

He looked to hold a bit fear that I would say no.

Which was a bit mindblowing that he truly wanted to spend time with Ash and I so much.

I nod. “Okay. I’ll call the girls to let them know I won’t be coming today.”

A grin smeared on his face, one that had my stomach twisting with tiny wild butterflies.

“Spend the night too.” His bottom lip draws between his teeth and he bites down on the plump flesh.

I bit the inside of my bottom lip. “I don’t know Aiden…” I drawled.

We were already moving so quickly and I would be lying if I’ didn’t feel a bit scared that this won’t work

out with the speed we were going at.

Aiden’s eyes dimmed a bit but he still held that warm soft tone when he utters. “I want us to be a family

Soph. You, Ashton and me. I want us to live together too.”

His eyes fall on my stomach area. “I want to be there for you this time around. Every step of the way. I

don’t want to miss a single thing.”

I chewed on my lips.

“Aiden. What if-

“If you’re going to say what if this doesn’t work out, don’t. This will work out Sophie. I’ve been dreaming

about you for years, and now that I finally got you. I will do everything and I mean everything in my

power to make sure that I keep you.” He promised, his eyes portraying such.

My heart thuds loudly.

There is no reason for me to not believe him, especially with the way his eyes portrayed such honesty.

Eyes were the windows of his soul, and if it showed so much honesty then who am I to say it’s false?

“Okay,” I breathed out, blushing under his heavy stare.

He rose to his feet, holding Ash and approached me. He places Ash on my lap and then leaned down

to give me a chaste sweet peck on my lips.

“I love you Soph. And I’m going to repeat those words for the rest of my life.” He murmurs.

Aiden’s pov

My stomach was heavy with regret for coming to Harrington.co instead of staying with my little family.

Hell, I rather stay at the penthouse the entire week with Sophie and Aiden instead of coming back here.

Those two….they brought me more pleasure and sanity than that damn business Sergio forced me

into.

And sure money made the world go round but I didn’t lie to Sophie when I said they meant more to me

than paper.

In all honesty if I had the choice to quit being the Ceo of the company I would. But with Sergio down my

neck and the remembrance of those papers I signed to get out of jail

early…..there was no possible way to step down unless I go through the law.

Which would be on Sergio’s side.

My jaw tightened as I burst through the door to my office and slammed it shut.

Those damn fuckers messed up some legal documents that could put the business in trouble.

If they hadn’t messed up I would have still been with my little family….enjoying their presence and

getting great pleasure by just staring at them.

My little family….

I wonder what they were doing now that I’m not there…

My penthouse was a bit boring, like how my life was when she was not in the picture.

But now that she was here to stay, I would hope she’d splash a few of her personality in the penthouse.

Like I told her before I left, I wanted her and Ashton to stay

with me.

I wanted to see them before I go to sleep, before the break of dawn, when I got home, before I

leave…..I want to be able to smell their scent in the air inside the penthouse. I wanted their scent to

follow me wherever I go.

That’s how bad I loved and craved my little family. They were my life.

A sudden thought pushed into my head and I scratched my chin thoughtfully.

Maybe I can persuade her to stay for more than a night. Maybe I can persuade her to live with me.

I took the phone out of my pocket and dialed the best flower shop in New York.

“Good day, how may we be of assistance?” A woman asked on the other end.

“I’d like to place an order of a hundred red roses to be delivered at-” I told them my address and the

building where I reside.

Sophie’s pov

“Woah you guys are moving fast!” Mila gasped after I told her that Aiden had confessed that he loved

me all along.

I also told her that I told him how I felt too and that we were trying out to be a family like she suggested.

She was happy about this…

But was a bit shocked when I mentioned that he wanted a baby, we both did and that he asked me to

stay with him. I also told her about him mentioning that the engagement was real…

Now that stunned her.

I winced at her words and shifted Ashton on my hip while

holding the phone between my ear and shoulder, while the other hand opened the draw in Aiden’s

room so I could place my clothes in there.

But when I did and looked down, my heart skipped a beat when my eyes peer down at a picture frame.

That picture was of me…in highschool. It was an unexpected photo and I don’t remember taking it.

It looked like someone took it without my knowledge as I sat under a tree while studying. You could

only see the side of my face but anyone who knew me would notice it was me right away.

“Hey Mila, I’ll call you back.” I said.

“Okay. Ria and I will visit later this afternoon. See you then.”

“See you later.” I respond and end the call.

I picked up the picture frame, my brows pinching. Ashton’s hand smacked against the glass lightly.

“Did your dad take this photo of me Ash?” I asked in confusion while I looked down at the photo.

Was this the photo Sergio was referring to? If so…why did Aiden lie to me?
