As i opened the car door and was about to step out, a voice suddenly called from the side me.
"Mr. Blackwood."
I turned.
Aiden was walking toward me, his gaze fixed steadily on mine.
"Can we talk?"
I studied him for a moment and leaned back in my seat.
"What about?"
"It's about Alicia."
Of course it was.
The memory of him telling Alicia not to trust me flashed through my mind.
I opened the passenger door slightly.
"Get in."
Aiden hesitated briefly before getting into the car.
The moment the door shut, silence filled the space between us.
"Go ahead," I said calmly.
Aiden looked directly at me.
"Mr. Blackwood, I'm here to ask you to leave Alicia alone."
I raised a brow slowly.
His expression remained serious.
"I know no one probably speaks to you like this," he continued, "but someone has to."
"And?"
