Sophie’s pov

My eyes widen and I quickly pulled away from him, coughing a little as I flustered with embarrassment.

“Sorry, I must’ve rolled there in the middle of the night.” I made an excuse.

Aiden’s brow cocked lazily and the small smile on his lips spread wider.

“You’re cute when you’re embarrassed mama bear.”

I rolled my eyes and pretended that his words did not mess with my heart and lifted my hand to brush

against my messy hair. I must look like a hot mess right now.

The ringing stops again only to blare seconds later.

Whoever was calling him needed to get ahold of him desperately it seems.

“Are you going to answer that?” I asked him nudging my head to his phone he left on the dresser

beside his head.

He grunted. “It’s way too damn early.”

“It can be important. Whoever is trying to get a hold of you rang the phone three times in a span of five

minutes. I think it would be good to at least check who’s calling.”

Aiden doesn’t look like he was in the mood to speak to

anyone but then sighed heavily, held Ashton’s sleeping form

with his other hand, and reached out for the phone on the

dresser.

His features shifted in irritation when he saw the caller ID.

Intrigued to know who made him react that way, yet not wanting to seem nosy, I joked. “Do you

normally glare at a phone screen early in the morning?”

Aiden spares me a glance and then shifted his stormy eyes back to the ringing phone.

“No. Just those that irritate me. Sergio’s the one calling,” He rolled his eyes and let the phone continue

to ring until it

stops.

He looked relieved only for his features to tighten back in irritation. His jaw clenched and he looked

ready to hurl the phone away.

Ashton stirs on his chest and he holds him tightly before sighing in defeat and answering the phone.

“What!?” He barked lowly. “It’s just six a.m in the morning, Sergio. You better have a good valid reason

for calling me this early.”

I watch him intensely as he listened to what his grandfather said over the phone. Seconds later his face

turned the color of ash.

“What?”

Aiden’s pov

“I’ve gotten used to your tongue boy but that doesn’t mean I will stand for the disrespect.” Sergio snaps

and coughs.

I had an inkling he was smoking a cigar. That man could not live without it.

I stayed silent, not wanting to argue with him while Ashton was fast asleep on my chest.

“Anyway, I called because a little birdy told me you had a son. By little birdy I mean the internet. A

picture of your son is floating around, especially on Instagram.”

My heart drops in the pit of my stomach and I felt the blood drain from my face. “What?”

I didn’t want Ashton on social media as yet, especially with how nasty people can be on there.

He was not ready for this and Sophie was not ready to have questions flown at her as yet.

Everything was going way too fast…

What did you expect to happen when you said so loud and proudly that she was your fiance mostly

everywhere you

went?

So of course things wouldn’t have gone slow.

My conscience mocked me.

“I am disappointed that you had not told me you had a son Aiden. Do your parents even know? The

mother of your child is the same girl at the office right? Your fiance? The picture showed more of the

little boy but I could spot her features

and yours.”

I raked my brain trying to figure out where they saw Sophie, Ashton, and me, to take that dang photo.

There were no paparazzi after Sophie and I left the restaurant…..

Did someone photograph us in the hospital?

Was it that damn girl who asked for a photo?

I clenched my teeth.

Fuck.

“Yes it’s her,” I admitted tightly. “And no, no one knows about him. Well, no one knew about him until

whoever posted that photo.” I gritted out.

I’ll make sure to sue whoever posted it without my consent.

Sergio hums on the other line. “Well, then I guess this calls for a meeting. I should get to your

Manhattan penthouse at about nine a.m. Skip a few hours of office time to let your grandfather get to

know the little family you started in secret.”

My eyes sweep over to Sophie who’s staring at me with

concern.

“He’s sick with the cold,” I said coldly, hoping he’d change his mind about wanting to meet Ashton.

Telling him straight up no wouldn’t be good, he’d just find a way to see him forcefully.

“That’s fine, I’ll wear a mask.” Sergio persisted.

“It has also been a while since I’ve visited your penthouse. Hope your fiance added her little touch to

the place. She’s living with you correct? Of course she is, it would be strange for her not to.”

He was trying to bait me to see if I would slip up. That old man would have to try harder than that.

My jaw hurt from how much I clenched it tightly. This old man was not letting up.

“Yes she is. You’ll be there by nine right?” I asked tightly, seething and gripping the phone.

“Yes. Maybe a tad bit earlier. I’d not want to miss breakfast. I need to see if my granddaughter in law

knows her way around the kitchen. You know the saying grandson. A way to a man’s heart is his belly.”

Sergio taunted the word granddaughter in law.

Great, then I’ll see you then.” I hung up before he could say another word.

“Fuck.” I hiss lowly, closing my eyes tightly.

Sergio knew what he was doing. He wanted to inspect Sophie and I’s relationship. And now that he

found out about Ashton, he’ll dig more for the loopholes.

“Aiden?” Sophie whispered lowly in worry.

I peeled my eyes open and they connected with hers quickly. “Are you okay?” She asked in worry.

I wanted to wake up better than this with her. I wanted to stare into her pretty eyes longer and hold my

son for longer before he woke up.

But I suppose plans change when there’s a snake slithering in my life.

“We need to get to my penthouse now. I’ll call Mitch, pack up some clothes for both you and Ashton.”

In the corner of his room, Sergio placed his phone in his pocket and brought the cigar to his lips as he

stared out the huge wall window.

A smirk crawls on his lips as he draws in a puff.

His grandson was smart, but surely was not smart enough to win against him.

Sergio will let him play this little game longer until he grew bored.

He didn’t let his daughter marry that man because she fell pregnant with Aiden. But he’ll surely bend

Aiden to his will and not make that grave mistake again.

His family will only marry the best. And that girl…was not the best. Great grandson and currently

pregnant would not make Sergio’s heart fond. This girl had to go. And with all her baggage.
