I Kissed Her

Aiden's POV: 

I knew what I had to do.

The media had been circling like vultures, twisting everything between me and Liz into a sordid scandal. My name was dragged through the mud, my marriage turned into a spectacle, and worst of all—Alexia was caught in the crossfire.

I needed to fix this.

So I came here. To her school. To her.

Just as I stepped into the hallway, the usual chatter dropped into a murmur, a wave of whispers and gasps sweeping through the crowd. I didn't have to turn around to know that all eyes were now on me.

Alexia stood at the center of it all, arms crossed, jaw set—looking every bit like a woman who wanted to murder her husband. Good. That meant she cared.

I barely noticed her friend, Lucy, who was practically vibrating with excitement. My focus was locked on my wife.
