The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 167

Sophie’s pov

“Are you alright?” Mitch asked in worry, his eyes peering at me through the rearview mirror.

I know I looked like I had seen a ghost and was probably as white as a sheet.

I was still trembling too and clutched my clothes to stop my fingers from shaking.

“In fine. Just feel a little unwell. Can you bring me back to the station?” I move my eyes off his, resting my head on the window as I looked outside.

My thoughts hold me prisoner in my mind and I’m lost wandering in the dark of my mind.

I have no clue what to do.

On how to get myself out of this messy situation.

Mitch doesn’t say another word and drives away. My mind fumbles.

Should I tell Aiden?

He’ll be furious with me for putting myself in that situation in the first place. He’d probably not forgive me too.

And what of Christopher’s threat?

What will happen if I tell Aiden or the police? What does he have on Aiden to put him back in jail for a long time?

Tears trickle down my cheeks as I watch the scenery as we pass by.

“There are reporters up ahead.”

I tilted my head and looked out through the windshield. He was right, reporters were lining the front of the police station.

A few police officers were trying to push them away.

I winced.

Doing this on my own without Aiden nearly had the air in my lungs get stuck.

I felt fear crawling up my spine.

“Can you find another entryway?” I asked Mitch nervously. I didn’t think I would know what to tell the reporters. Aiden would always be the one to respond, and sometimes he didn’t.

If I were to not respond, there was a possibility that they would paint me in an even worse light.

I gnawed on my lips nervously, wringing my fingers.

“No. Sorry.” Mitch apologize while peering at me through the rearview mirror.

I give him a shaky smile. “Then I guess I’ll be back soon.” I breathed and counted to five in my head before opening the door.

Mitch had parked just beside the curb, so as soon as I was out, the reporters swarmed me.

I shrink.

I was sure I looked like crap from what happened previously and now that they were sending questions upon questions my way, I was certain I had that deer caught in headlights look.

Great.

I walked faster as the cops try to push them away from me.

“Miss, why was Mr. Xavier arrested?”

“Does the arrest have anything to do with you?”

“What did Mr. Xavier do to Mr.Muralo?”

I pinched my eyes closed briefly and answered. “Questions will only be getting answered by Mr. Xavier himself.”

I entered the building swiftly after that, breathing out a sigh of relief when the cops managed to stop the swarm of reporters at the door.

I strut over to the woman behind the desk and asked her permission to see officer Peter. She sends me to him right away.

When I did step into the room I’m surprised to see Aiden lounging back in a chair mirroring Officer Peter. His back was facing me so he hadn’t realized I had entered.

But I did not fail to notice a tall man standing beside Aiden. A very authoritative figure.

“Aiden?” I breathed out in disbelief, taking a step forward.

Hearing my voice, he stood up and whirled around. His frosty stormy gaze calmed down exceptionally when they connected with mine.

“Soph.” He cracked a charming smile, walking around the tall man and strutting over to me quickly.

He pulls me in his arms, kissing my neck. “I told you I would get out. I called my lawyer. Everything worked out.”

My heart dropped and my blood run cold.
