Despite my tries not to be affected, tremors erupt on my skin at his softly-spoken words.
I know, without doubt, he’ll make good on his promise, and while my shoulder blades are pulling together with ominous feelings, I won’t give in.
I turn around and go to my car.
It doesn’t take me long to arrive at Aiden’s house.
It’s raining heavily by the time I park beside his Ferrari right after he comes out of it. I don’t bother with an umbrella as I block his way to the entrance.
The King mansion has always felt a bit gothic. It could be because of the sad angel statues pouring water in the fountain. They gave me weird sensations when I was a child.
Ronan, Xander, and Cole pass us on their way inside.
The latter doesn’t even spare me a glance. He already issued his threat. Now he’ll wait to see how I act before he reacts.
He’s so calculating, it drives me freaking insane.
Aiden tries to push me towards him again, but Cole tells him to clean up his own mess, then follows Ronan and Xander into the house.
“In case you didn’t realise, this is called stalking.” Aiden places a hand in his wet trousers’ pocket.
“As if you’d know anything about stalking.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
I curse myself for letting that slip in front of Aiden. Here’s to hoping he says nothing to Cole, because I really have no state of mind to deal with all of this nonsense right now.
Folding my arms over my chest, I pin him with a stare. “I wasn’t done talking in the car park.”
“Well, I was.” He turns to leave.
“I’ll tell Elsa the baby is yours.”
Aiden stops and whirls around, his left eye twitching.
I’ve got him.
That’s the only reaction Aiden hasn’t been able to school over the years. It means he’s pissed off and will be out to destroy lives.
A risk I’m willing to take.
“It’s not,” he says.
“She doesn’t know that.”
“The DNA test will prove it isn’t.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
“You really believe someone like Elsa will wait until the DNA test comes out? She doesn’t trust you as it is and will leave you in a heartbeat the moment I plant the idea that you’re my baby’s father in her head.”
Silence.
I’ve got him again. Someone like Aiden, who’s never allowed himself a weakness, now has one.
