The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 190

Sophie’s pov

Aiden got the call early in the morning. Apparently Sergio was found dead in his home.

Margo found him lying on the cold hard floor, in his own pool of blood.

The news of his passing broke Meredith into pieces. She cried her eyes out.

Even though Sergio was a bastard, I did feel pity for him.

Someone murdered him.

And the culprit was someone we’d least expect. Lillian.

Margo retrieved a footage collected by the camera that showed Lillian entering the home. Sergio allowed her in and she was the last to see him alive.

Fingers pointed at her.

The Muralo’s were the number one discussion around the world. Their shares were going down, everyone pulled away from them.

Accompanied by Aiden releasing those nasty photos of them into the world, the Muralo’s reputation had dwindled in one day.

But the problem was…..no one knew where they were.

Sophie’s pov

*2 months later*

It’s been exactly two months since the last time the Muralo’s have been heard from or seen.

No one knew where they had gone off to. Where they were hiding.

What they had done to both Sergio and Tenney was dying out. The first month was scaling hot with topics about the gruesome. murder of Sergio and the incest that was happening in the family.

As for Tenney. We wished he got his justice.

The cops found no evidence that it was one of the Muralo’s who had killed him in cold blood. And I suspected if Margo didn’t retrieve that footage of Lillian, she would’ve gone scorched free too.

Not that they caught her anyway. So I suppose she did go scorch free.

And as for the incestuous photographs the media paraded around for an entire month, it was also dying out. New jaw dropping news was far better I suppose.

“Aw my little Ash bug.” I giggled as I bent down to pinch his cheeks.

He was in a cute black and white tux.

“He was so fussy to let me put him in that tux. I don’t think he wants to give you to his dad. This little bugger wants you all to himself.” Mila giggled and pinched his cheeks.

Ashton smacks her hand away and my lips part. “Ash!” I scolded playfully.

He was definitely in a mood.

I giggled. “Do you not want momma to marry daddy?”

The door suddenly opened. “Guys we gotta leave in ten if we want your hair to get done in time.” Ria uttered.

In her hand is my beautiful white wedding dress.

Yes, you heard right.

Aiden and I are going to get married today.

We were waiting on news about the Muralo’s before we could, but Aiden got impatient and wanted to see his wedding ring around my finger.

‘I need you to be Mrs. Xavier soon my little Soph. I can’t wait no longer.’ Were his words.

So we took a little faith and decided to get married today. It was a bit of a rush but as long as Aiden, Ash and those we hold dear present, then everything will be perfect.

“The boys already left. Aiden looks constipated.” Ria snorted.

My heart sinks and the smile leaves my face as I straighten up. “Oh. Do you guys think he’s having second thoughts about marrying me?”

Ria snorted. “Bitch please. Aiden having second thoughts? Don’t make me laugh. The guy looks constipated because he is actually scared you will call off the wedding.”

My, brows, furrowed.

She shrugged. “Overheard them talking. By the way his friends are hot.” She looks over at Mila with a smirk. “One looked like he was ready to pounce on Mila. That guy sure has an eye on you.”

Mila blushed furiously and tries to busy herself with fixing Ashton’s tie. “I don’t know what you’re talking about Ria.” She played oblivious and fought to keep her eyes away from us.

I smiled. “Let me guess, is it Ryland?”

Mila’s blush darkened. I giggled.

“I knew it was him!! You two always argued back in high school but I knew it had something to do with sexual tension.” I snorted.

Mila tries to hide her face. “Don’t be ridiculous. I never had a crush on Ryland.”

Ria snorted.” Well if you didn’t before, you do now. I saw the way you looked at him too you little whore-

She winces when she catches my irritated glare. “Sorry? I meant you little female dog in heat?”

Mila rolls her eyes. “Shut up you guys. I’m not supposed to look red.”

“You’d look hot red. I bet Ryland would be itching to bend you over and have his way with you.” Ria giggled.

I bend over to block Ashton’s ears. “Ria! Don’t say those things in front of Ash.” I scowled.

She rolled her eyes. “He’s a kid. He doesn’t know what I’m referring to. His mind is filled with baby shark, he doesn’t have room to think about anything else.”

I rolled my eyes.

“And besides don’t act like you and Aiden are innocent. You two definitely flirt in front of your son.” She pointed out which made me flush.

“Yeah but it isn’t that bad.” I argued and unblocked Ashton’s ears.

“Right. He just whispers it into your ear instead.” She rolls her eyes and then pointed at the door.

“Anyway we should head out now if we want to get to the church in time. Your mom in law, Ingrid and my mom are already waiting in the limousine.”

Hours after the news of Sergio’s passing and it being broadcasted everywhere on the news channels, Ingrid called me after acting strangely for the past prior days.

She confessed Sergio had forced her to tell him about my late mother and about my past. Being guilty and ashamed for telling him, she couldn’t bear to talk or see me. She mentioned being indecisive on telling me the truth, scared of Sergio threatening her even more.

But when she saw the news she couldn’t hold it in anymore. We talked it out and I told her she had no reason to feel guilty because I forgave her.

“Right.” I let out a shaky breath as I held Ashton’s little hands.

Mila’s eyes narrowed on me.” You’re not getting cold feet are you?”

I shook my head. “No. Just butterflies. I’m finally going to marry the love of my life Mila. I just didn’t know this day would ever happen after what we went through.”

Mila smiled back at me warmly. “You deserve all the happiness in the world Soph.”

I smiled.

“Okay then, guys, let’s go.” Ría clapped, and we headed on out.

Ten minutes into the drive, and Meredith decided to grace us with the smell and sound of her fart.

“Ooph, sorry guys, must’ve eaten something bad.”

I blocked my nose, giggling.

Even Ashton blocked his little nose.

“Oh my gosh, Meredith, you’re about to kill us in here!” Ria coughed as she told the driver to open the windows.

“Gosh, I knew I should’ve taken that dump before going.” Meredith sighed and wiped her brow.

“I think there’s a bathroom in the church-

Ingrid’s words are cut off by the loud screeching sounds of tires. Suddenly, the limousine jerks to a sharp halt.

I throw my hands over Ashton in protection.

Everyone gasped in shock.

I looked around when the sound of doors closing and opening reached my ears.

I turned ghostly when I saw many figures dress in black rushing over to us. Their faces covered with a mask.

I froze, my heart beating quickly.

“Drive away now!” Meredith yelled at the driver who looked around helplessly. Many cars blocked his path. There was no way out.
