Sophie’s POV
“This is really delicious, did you make it by yourself, Sophie?” Vincent asked me when he finally tasted the bruschetta that Monica made by herself with my small assistance.
“Actually, I was the one who made it.” said Monica.
Vincent looked at her. “Really? That’s why it tasted so good! Your recipe never really changed.”
“Oh, you king of compliment man. If there’s someone who never changed here, it’s probably you. You’re still good at complimenting me.”
“Because it’s true, right, Sophie?” Vincent suddenly looked at me.
“H-Huh?”
“Did you taste it too? Try it, it tastes super good.”I forced a smile on my face. “Y-Yeah, it tastes really good…”
“See? Even Sophie liked it.”I just watched them have a good time with each other while I was feeling like an
Sophie’s POV“Ugh, my eyes are swollen! Can I even go to the university like this?!” I mumbled as I stared at myself in the mirror inside my room.This is what I’ve got from crying all night because of what Vincent has told me last night.I don’t think I can still look straight into his eyes either.“Miss Sophie, Boss already left.” Venom informed me as she opened the door.I smiled at her as I nodded. “Thanks. We can go to the university now.”“Yes. Milady.”I told Venom to inform me once Vincent leaves. I don’t want to see his face because I will only remember what he has told me last night and I would only end up crying again. Venom and I just went to the university as usual. I’m actually planning to go home early tonight and go to bed as early as I can just so Vincent wouldn’t have the chance to talk to me.“Damn, Sophie. Your husband
Sophie’s POV“Come on, Sophie. Just go inside already!” Sabrina kept on pushing me towards the infirmary.She suggested Lance as the person who could help us with our plan and I think I regret agreeing with her now.Venom and I left the mansion early in the morning, just so Vincent wouldn’t see me. He was even trying to call me but I didn’t answer any of his calls and I’m just planning to tell him that I was in our class when he called.I’m still mad at him. I’m so mad at him.“S-Sab, I feel so nervous! Can we just look for someone else?”“There’s no one who can help us except Mr. Jacobs!”“But Sab…”She suddenly looked at me suspiciously. “Sophie, can you be honest with me?”“H-Huh?”“You haven’t really moved on from Mr. Jacobs, have you?”“W-What?! Of course, I d
Sophie’s POV“Lance.”“Huh?”“Can I say something to you?”Lance stared at me for a while as if he was guessing what I would say next. “O-Of course.”I looked down as I started speaking. “Actually, Vincent married me, not because he loves me. We didn’t marry each other because we love each other.”“W-What?”“My father owed Vincent a huge amount of money and he wasn’t able to pay him on time. And so because he threatened he would kill my father, we had no choice but for me to go with him. I was forced to marry him even if I’m not in the legal age yet. I never wanted to be married to him because you were the one that I love back then. But because of course, I didn’t want him to kill my father, I went with him.”Lance's eyes widened in surprise. I already know he would be really surprised.“S-Sophie&hellip
Sophie’s POVI almost jumped from where I was standing when Vincent suddenly appeared in front of me as soon as I opened the door of my room.“Where are you going?” he asked while looking at me.I looked at him. He was still in his pajama so I guess he just woke up.How can he even manage to appear so handsome even when he just woke up?No, Sophie. You can’t fantasize about Vincent so early in the morning. You can’t because you are still mad at him.I averted my gaze as I spoke. “To the library?”“What are you going to do there?”“What do you think? Of course, to study.”He stared at me intently as he ran his fingers through his hair. “It’s been a week since the last time that I got to talk to you like this. I always wake up knowing that you already left for school and then I’ll go home to see you deeply asleep. Are you trying to avoid me
Sophie’s POV“What about this one? Can you answer this one?” Lance asked me while pointing to a certain part of the book that we were using to study.I actually finished studying all the topics last night, but of course, since we badly need to make Vincent jealous, I'll pretend like I don’t really know anything.“No, I actually don’t know how to answer that yet…” I said while scratching the back of my head, trying hard to act cute.“Really? Then let me just teach you.”“Thank you!”Lance intentionally leaned closer to me while explaining the problem in the book. I also leaned closer which caused our faces to almost touch each other. I could feel Vincent’s glare from the other table.“This is how you do this, okay? You just have to divide it here, then multiply it by its quotient.”“S-Sorry? Can you repeat that again? I didn’t
Sophie’s POV“Get inside the car.” Vincent said as soon as he saw me stepped outside of the mansion.I didn’t give him a glance. “No, I can go there with Venom.”“Get inside the car, Venom.”Venom immediately followed him. I glanced at Venom and was about to sit next to her but then Vincent suddenly grabbed my hand which made me look at him.“You are going to sit next to me. I’m not your driver.”I didn’t speak anymore. I just went inside his car and I didn’t speak until we reached the university.“I’ll pick you up later so don’t go without me.”“Let’s go, Venom.” I said then I stamped out of Vincent’s car, ignoring what he was saying.“Miss Sophie, wait!”I just continue walking and Venom was able to walk beside me. “Miss Sophie, is there a problem? Did you fight with the
Sophie’s POV“You are so beautiful, Sophie!” Sabrina cooed as soon as she saw me wearing my off-shoulder lavender beaded gown.We were inside the dressing room in the hotel that Vincent owns. Yes, he was able to know my birthday because Venom told him. I didn’t actually want to hold a party for it but then Sabrina and Venom insisted it.“Why do you look so sad, Sophie? It’s your 18th birthday, it means you can finally do whatever the hell you want. You attend parties, get your driver’s license, you’re not a kid anymore!!” Sabrina said, trying to cheer me up.“I told you, I don’t even want to hold a party like this. We can just go out and eat or maybe I’ll just cook something then we’ll drink.” I said, staring lazily at my reflection in the mirror.“We can’t do that! We need to celebrate because you’re a woman now and not just a little girl!&rdq
Sophie’s POV“Thank you so much to all of you here, guys. Your presence means so much to me especially on this night when I am finally turning eighteen. Just like what my best friend Sabrina has said, I can finally do anything that I want. I can finally get my driver’s license although I’m not really interested in driving my own car, I can finally go to parties, and I can finally go to places that I want without asking for someone’s permission.” I smiled as I tried to look for Lance and Sabrina from the crowd. “And last but definitely not the least, I thank God for letting me reach this age. And I know I still have so many things and struggles to face in the future but I will remain grateful because I know that I have people beside me who’s always been there to support me and make me happy when I feel sad. So guys, let’s celebrate this very special night of mine by doing all the things that we want! Let’s get drunk a
********SIX YEARS LATER************* SOPHIE'S POV "Mommy, he's already here! Daddy already parked his car!" Callen said to me while peering out the window. I looked at Venom and Sabrina. "Please, turn off the lights." The lights turned off. No one was speaking until Vincent finally opened the door. "Sophie? Callen? Candace? Where are you? What is--- The lights turned on again and as soon as that happened, we all yelled, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VINCENT!!" He got surprised upon seeing all of us, but then he smiled. "You scared me, I thought Sophie ran away with our twin." "We will never do that, daddy," Candace said as she walked towards her dad and gave him a hug. Callen also went near him, so he lifted both of them in his arms. "Thanks to all of you. You may now eat and do whatever the hell you want." As soon as Vincent said that, everyone started screaming and yelling. Then they went to the pool and st
SOPHIE'S POVDon't be so nervous, Sophie. This is your wedding day.I kept on mumbling to myself while the stylists were dressing me up a few hours before the wedding.This is finally the day.The day that I have been dreaming to happen ever since."Oh my God, Sophie! You look dashing as ever! You are the most beautiful bride that I have ever seen in my life!" Sabrina cooed as soon as she entered my dressing room."Well, thank you so much, Sab. You look stunning, too." I said while smiling at her.Then the door went open again and mom and Venom came in."Mommy, Venom!""Sophie, honey. You look so beautiful!" mommy said to me after hugging me."Thank you so much, mommy. I feel really nervous now."She looked at me and pat my shoulders. "There's no need for you to feel nervous, honey. You are finally getting married to the man you truly love so all you should feel is happiness and excitement. And anyway, all of u
SOPHIE'S POV"I'm so sorry I'm late, Sophie. I just encountered a noisy woman on my way here." Lance said to me as soon as he sat on the chair in front of me."Noisy woman?""Yes. Anyway, I don't want to talk about that stranger anymore. Wait, did you just cry?"I wiped the tears from my eyes. "I just cried because I am so happy.""May I know the reason? Is it because your wedding is already next week?""That's one of the reasons. But Vincent just told me that his father is going to attend our wedding next week." I said while smiling at him."Really? That's cool then! For sure, V's going to be so happy.""I know he already is. I know he got so surprised, but I'm sure that he's so happy right now. Especially now that he finally found his real father.""That's right. I'm so happy for him, too."Lance and I just talked about some random things while eating that we lost track of time. He also sent me home."Tha
VINCENT'S POVI was busy drinking my wine inside my bar, together with my men as our celebration for Sophie and I's wedding next week."Boss, are you finally going to quit being our boss?" Gin, one of my men, asked me.I looked at him, then I put my glass above the table. "I want to give all my time to Sophie and to our future kids. I don't want them to live a miserable life and fear my enemies attacking us every single time.""We understand you, boss. We are happy for you, too.""You can just call me Vincent now," I said.They all looked at each other before looking at me again."We can never do that, boss. No matter what happens, you will always be our boss." Joe said to me.I gave them a smirk, then I raised my glass of wine. "Let's celebrate my wedding with the woman I love, and for winning our encounter against our enemies last week. We no longer have our enemies now, so you can all have your own life now, not us mafias, b
LANCE'S POV"Where did you go, Lance?"I got surprised when I saw my mom sitting on the couch in my living room as soon as I entered.I looked at her. "Mom, you're here. I just went to a boutique.""Boutique?""I went to a group fitting with Vincent's men." I said while smiling. I could still remember what happened a while ago.Mom stood up and furrowed her brows at me. "Fitting for what?""Vincent and Sophie are getting married next month.""What?""You don't know about that yet?"She shook her head. "No. But why are they getting married?""Mom, of course, because they love each other.""I wonder what your brother used to threaten that gullible woman again. For sure he did something or maybe she threatened her that he'll kill her family if she didn't---"Mom!"Mom looked at me. "What?""Can you even hear what you're saying? We're talking about Vincent here, my brother, and your
VINCENT'S POVI parked my car in front of Lance's house. Sophie made me promise yesterday that I should talk to him and our parents about our wedding. That's why here I am."G-Good evening, S-Sir Vincent..." one of his maids greeted me."Where's Lance?""He's inside his library, Sir."I nodded as I entered his mansion. I went straight to his library and there I saw him drinking whisky alone."May I join you?"He shifted his gaze at me and furrowed my brows upon seeing me. He looked surprised, but then he just shrugged and beckoned me to sit on the chair next to him. Since there was only one glass there on the table, I just drank the whiskey directly from its bottle."Want to play chess?" I got surprised when he asked me."Sure."He then stood up and brought his chessboard as he sat back in his chair again."What should we make a bet on?" I asked him when I was finally done arranging the pieces."Soph
SOPHIE'S POV"Sophie, are you sure about this? Don't you want me to accompany you there?" Vincent asked me as soon as we finally arrived in front of Miss Felestine's house.I nodded my head. "I can do this by myself, Vincent. You still have to talk to your parents and your brother, remember?""Are you sure?""Of course, I am.""Alright, I love you.""I love you more."We kissed each other before I finally stepped out of his car.I took a deep breath as I started walking inside Miss Felestine's mansion. The maids and butler greeted me."May I know where Miss Felestine is?" I asked one of the butlers."She's inside her office upstairs, Miss Sophie. I can take you there. Please, follow me.""Okay."And as he told me, I just followed him until we reached Miss Felestine's office. I had to take a deep breath a few times before I finally had the courage to open the door."M-Miss Felestine..."
SOPHIE'S POVI woke up without Vincent beside me. I roamed my eyes around the room, but I didn't find him."Vincent?"I got off the bed and picked up my clothes on the floor and wore it.Where did he go?I suddenly remembered that first time something between the two of us. He also left me inside my room.Did he do it again?Did he leave me again?I was about to open the door to go out when someone opened it."V-Vincent!""Where are you going?" He asked me as soon as he stepped inside the room holding a tray of food.I looked at him. "I-I thought you already left me..""And why would I leave you here?""I-I just thought you--"Come on, sit right there. We'll have our breakfast."He walked towards the round table and put the food that he brought. He then sat on the couch and looked at me."Sit on my lap. I'll feed you.""Huh?""Sit here." He said, tapping his
SOPHIE'S POVWe were both panting when we moved away from each other. I immediately lie down on the bed while closing my eyes."Are you tired now?" Vincent suddenly asked me."My lips feel numb."I heard him chuckle. "I was the only who kiss you so why would that feel numb?""H-Hey, I kissed you back too!""Right, but I was the one who did all the work."I gave up. I just heaved and looked at him. "What else do you want me to do? Are we going to finally sleep?""No, we're not done yet. I didn't bring you here for just a kiss.""Vincent...""I want you try make love to me, Sophie. I want you to ride me." He whispered in a husky voice while staring right into my eyes.Heat captivated my whole body upon hearing that from him. He wasn't smiling when he said that, so I know that he was dead serious.I wasn't able to speak for a while.Then all of a sudden, Vincent leaned his head on the headboard a
