His Lost Love
Aiden and Nick in the picture above^
Aiden's POV:
Shit. I'm late and my head hurts like hell. Last night I had a lot to drink and I think I slept with someone. I look behind me and see a naked woman next to me. Yep, I definitely slept with someone.
I never used to be like this, but since she left me I used drinking and women to forget about her. It never worked, but it's better than nothing. I hired a private investigator to look for her, but even he couldn't find her. It's like she fell off earth. I don't even know how she looks like now and whether she's alive or not.
After I finish taking a shower, I go to my walk-in closet to find something to wear. I never wear something other than a suit since I'm always at work. It's true what the media says about me, I'm a workaholic. Work also helped me to forget about her. Not permanently, but at least temporarily.
Walking out of my closet, I see the woman waking up. She looked horrible. Her dirty blond hair was a mess, probably caused by me, I smirk inward, and her cakey make-up was smudged.
"Hey babe, last night was fun. Want another round?" she purred. God, she sounded terrible. How did I end up with her? Idiot, probably cause you were drunk.
"No Amelia, I have to work and I need you to leave by the time I am out of the house" I said in a cold tone
"Asshole, my name is Natalie. And I thought we had fun last night" she rubbed her eyes, confused and sleepy
"GET OUT. NOW" God, she managed to ruin my mood and the day hasn't even started. I saw her flinch and quickly took her clothes and left. Thank god!
I finished my coffee and went to the car "To the office, James"
"Yes sir" James was dad's driver and since I took over the company, he became my driver. He was almost my dad's age and always treated me as his son
"James, didn't I tell you to call me Aiden?"
"Yes sir- I mean yes Aiden. I forgot"
I laughed "No problem"
.......................
The office was quiet as usual. No one is at this floor except my assistant and I since I like the quiet. Suddenly I heard someone open my door
"Good morning, bestie!" Nick, my best friend and the CFO of the company said
"Oh, its you" After I say this, he put his hand on his heart and acted as if it just broke
"I'm hurt" he pouted and I sighed at his childish behavior
"Nick, what do you want? I'm busy" I asked annoyed
"I called to tell you that tonight we are going to the opening of my new club, but you didn't answer my call, so I came to tell you myself" Nick had chains of clubs around the country even though he worked as the CFO.
"I didn't hear my phone and I can't go, I'm busy" I said while looking for my phone. Shit, I forgot it in the car
"You always say that and when you're not busy with work, you're drinking and sleeping with women. I don't get to see my best friend much, so I'm not taking no for an answer. You need to move on from her. Plus, drinking and women aren't helping. You need to live your life, do something different"
What he said was painfully true. Nick was the only one who knew my story about her, even though we met after she left, plus my parents since they were there and since our mothers were best friends.
I cleared my throat "And you think going out with you is any different?"
"Yepp" he emphasizes on the "p".
He won't leave me alone until I say yes and maybe he's right "Fine, I'll see you tonight. Go now; didn't you say you have a meeting?"
"Oh yeah, shit. See you tonight." He runs off and now I need to get my phone.
.....................
While walking to my car, I'm reading a file that needed to be revised and suddenly I bump into someone. The most beautiful girl with blue almost grey eyes that looked familiar. They look like her eyes. I wanted to apologize, but I realized that she was looking into my eyes the same way I was looking into hers, like she was trying to remember me. Could it be her? God, now I see people that look like her and think that's her. It's official, I've gone mad.
After meeting the beautiful lady, I got my phone and went back to my office. I'm deep into my work when I hear a knock on the door.
It's her again; she probably noticed that we switched files.
........................
I can't believe she is the CEO of King Enterprise. I never knew how she looked like because she never let the media take pictures of her. Her life is basically a mystery to everyone even though she is quiet famous, in fact she is a billionaire just like me. The only difference is that she is a self-made billionaire while I was a heir, but I did accomplish a lot since I took over the business.
I could clearly remember her face when I asked her if we knew each other. Her expression turned sad and she looked like she was going to cry, but then suddenly as if she realized that, her expression turned cold. It kind of gave me a shiver; even her eyes looked cold with no feelings in them. This was probably how I look like while working; no wonder everyone was afraid of me.
Suddenly, I remembered that her saying that my assistant told her that I was busy. I can't believe that woman, this project is important! I buzzed my assistant to come to my office. A few seconds later, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in"
"Sir, you asked for me?" she asked huskily. Her clothes were flashy and she would always flirt with me, but unfortunately for me, I can't fire her since she's good at her job and I don't have the time for interviews
"Did the CEO of King Enterprise ask you for a meeting with me? What was her name-" I said the last part in a low voice to myself. Come to think of it, she actually didn't mention her name
"Sophia King, sir, and she did mention a meeting, but your schedule was full till the end of the month and she was in a hurry. So, I scheduled a meeting with the CFO for her"
That's her. Same name, same eyes, and similar look. Could it be her? Am I imagining things? I need to contact my private investigator.
"Sir?"
"Sir?"
"What!" I answered angrily
"I've been calling you for the past 5 minutes sir. Are you alright?" she said worriedly but I ignored it. It seemed like I forgot myself thinking of her
"Yes...as I was saying, next time Ms. King requests a meeting, schedule it even if my schedule is full. This project is important, I can't lose it because I couldn't meet the CEO" I nod.
"Yes sir, anything else?" she purred. God, I hate her
"No, now out" I squinted at her.
I got my phone out and called my investigator
"Yes sir?" He answered
"I need everything about Sophia King, the CEO of King Enterprise by tomorrow"
"Yes sir" he hung up.
.....................
Entering the club, I immediately went to the VIP section and took a seat next to Nick.
"Hey, how was your day? Anything interesting?" he said while winking at me. He thought I'm sleeping with my assistant since he saw her flirt with me multiple of times
"Dude, for the last time I'm not sleeping with her"
He doesn't look like he believed me "If you say so"
I turn away from him and looked ahead of me "Anyways, I think I saw Soph" I always called my Sophia Soph. God, I missed her.
"WHAT? Where?" he looked at me shocked but I kept looking ahead
"I think she is the CEO of King Enterprise. I never saw her until today"
"Oh yeah her name is Sophia King, but it might be just a coincidence" he shrugged off while taking a sip of his drink.
"I know, but she has the same eyes and her look is similar, so I don't think it's a coincidence, and that's why I talked to my private investigator"
"Ms. King is here. Look at the bar" I look to where he was pointing and found Sophia sitting by the bar in a metallic mini dress that hugged her curves in all of the right places. All the blood in body started moving crazily, and god, I felt hot right now.
"I'll be right back" I told Nick keeping my eyes on her. I walked to the bar and sat next to her. She looked at me and muttered in a low voice
"Oh no, I'm imagining him sitting next to me right now" she said hazily. It felt good knowing that she's thinking of me, yet she sounded a little drunk
"Are you drunk?" I asked worried "Sss-seems so, considering that I'm seeing you here and talking to you" she said while swaying a little. I laughed at her thinking that she was imagining me
"Are you here alone?" I asked hoping she was not with a boyfriend or something
"No, my best friend is with me dancing- somewhere" that's a relief
"What's her name?" I asked
Hailee"
I pulled out my phone and called Nick "Nick, I'm going to take Soph home, she's drunk. I need you to take her best friend Hailee back home and make sure she's alright"
"Alright bro" I hung up and gave my attention back to Sophia
"No one calls me Soph except my Aiden" she said while looking a little sad.
She said my Aiden; could that be a coincidence too?
"Come on Soph, let me take you home"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"Okay I won't, now let me get you home" I walked her out of the club and put her in my black Audi. I walked to the other side and went into the car.
"Sophia what is your address?" I waited for a reply but never got one, so I took a look at her and found her asleep. Great, now what do I do? I guess I'll take her to my house.
The drive to my penthouse was short as the club was close to my house. I carried Sophia to the penthouse since she was asleep and I didn't want to wake her up. I punched in the pass code and carried her to my room.
My guest room was being redecorated and I never needed another guest room so changed the rest of the rooms into an office room and a gym room, so now I have no other place for Soph to sleep in, but my room. I just hope that she won't scream at me in the morning.
I quickly changed her into one of my shirts making sure I don't see anything since I didn't want to see her without consent. It was hard not to sneak a peek but I managed and if she is my Soph then I'd already seen it all. I changed my clothes as well and headed to bed. I pulled Sophia close to me and immediately fell into the best sleep I've had ever since the day Soph left me.
