Sophie’s POV
“Vincent, are you really planning to stay here overnight just to be able to catch one fish?” I asked him while I was yawning.
He’s been playing the same game with the fishes since an hour ago. Everyone already gave up and left but Vincent just won’t. He was already soaked by the water from the aquarium too.
“Look, Vincent, you won’t be called a coward and a loser if you can’t catch any fish, okay? You’re still a mafia boss.” I told him.
But he didn’t mind me. He stayed focus on the fish that he was targeting.
He’s unbelievable. I can’t believe he’s being like this over a single fish.
“I will be able to catch you, you damn little gold fucking fish!” he yelled.
“God, he’s so childish…” I mumbled.
I just caught myself staring at him while he was focusing on the fish. His eyes were focused on the fis
Sophie’s POV “Did Vincent leave already?” I asked Venom as soon as I arrived at the dining room for breakfast. We don’t have any classes that’s why I will also stay here in Vincent’s mansion. “He already left early this morning, Miss Sophie. He told me to go with you to the mall.” I sat on the chair and looked at her. “I already have enough clothes in my closet, anyway. I will just stay here, I guess. Oh, maybe I’ll just call Sab and ask her to come over.” Venom just nodded. “I understand, Miss Sophie.” “By the way, you can take your leave if you want since I won’t be going anywhere.” “No, Miss Sophie. I don’t have anything to do so I’ll just stay here with you.” “O-Oh, is that so? Okay. By the way, have you eaten yet? Let’s have our breakfast together.” I saw the surprised look on her face. “Huh?” “Let’s have our breakfast together. There are too many foods here, I can’t eat them all.” “But— “Co
Sophie’s POV“What are you doing?” I almost dropped the ladle that I was holding when Vincent suddenly peered behind me.I looked at him. “Y-You’re already here.”“Yes. I already missed you.”“I cooked some sheet pan honey mustard chicken and vegetables.”He looked at the food that I was cooking. “Looks good.”“Well, I hope it tastes good too.”“I know it will.” He said with a smirk. I was surprised when he suddenly sniffed my neck. “God, you smell so fucking nice…”I quickly moved away from him. “I-I will prepare our dinner. I think you should change your clothes now.”“Alright, if that’s what you want, honey. But I would just like to also remind you we will be playing another game tonight before you sleep.” He said before he finally warded off the kitchen.“Why is h
Sophie’s POV“Checkmate.” Vincent declared with a serious tone of voice and with no smirk on his face like he usually does.I heaved a deep sigh. “Can I even win against you?”“It’s your fault, you should’ve at least asked a better coach to teach you how to play chess.” He said.“I’m just a slow learner. It’s not his fault.”“Come here.” He said, ignoring me.I slowly moved closer to him, making us sit beside each other face-to-face. Vincent looked at me straight in the eyes before he finally searched through my whole body. “I already claimed your neck, ears, and hands. What shall I conquer next?”My heart began beating so fast when his eyes landed on my lips.“Do you know how much I want to conquer your lips?”I bit my lower lip as I averted my gaze.“Want me to bite it for you?
Sophie’s POV“Boss already left early this morning again, Miss Sophie.” Venom informed me as soon as I went downstairs wearing my uniform.I nodded. “That’s good then. Shall we go to school now?”“Yes, Miss Sophie.”Venom and I stepped inside the limousine. No one was speaking between us.“Miss Sophie.”“Hmm?” I looked at her.“I know I don’t have any right to ask this from you b-but did you fight with Boss?”My eyes widened as I heard her ask that. I averted my gaze and pouted. “I-I just told him to apologize to his parents. I mean, even if they treated him like that, they are still his parents, right?”Venom suppressed a sigh before looking at me. “You’re right, Miss Sophie. They are still his parents but you can’t blame Mr. Hastings either.”“B-But wh
Sophie’s POV“Mr. Jacobs, c-can I ask about your younger brother?” it came out from my mouth automatically.Lance smiled. “Sure. What would you like to know about him?”“Err… Are you close with him?”He thought for a while. He put his pen on his desk and crossed his arms. “We’re actually close when we were kids. But one day he just became a rebel. When we became teenagers, I always scold him and I think that pisses him off. He got mad at me and he was mad at our parents too.”“Is he still living with you?”“No. Our parents kicked him out of our house when they found out that he was leading a gang. I don’t know what they call that.”“Seems like mafias are all over, huh?” I mumbled.I sat up on the bed and looked at him. “Are you mad with your brother?”“Huh? Mad? Nev
Vincent’s POV“Where’s Sophie?” I asked one of my maids as soon as I entered the house.“S-She’s not here yet, Sir…”I squinted at my wristwatch. “It’s already eleven o’clock, and she’s still out there? What the hell is Venom doing?”I reached for my phone and dialed Sophie’s number. It rang a few times before she answered it. “Hello?”“Hello? Sophie?”“Oh, is it you, Vinshent?! My mafia husband Vincent never cared about the feelings of people around him. Is this you?” she sounded drunk.“Where the hell are you? How many times do I have to tell you to go home on time?”“Can you just stop pretending like you care about me? Just let me do anything I want, okay? Goodbye, you cold as ice man!” she said then hang up the phone.“Sophie—Damn! Where th
Sophie’s POVI woke up with my head hurting so much as if it would break. I sat up and looked around me and realized I was already inside my room in Vincent’s mansion. I can’t even remember what happened last night, but I still can’t forget how my heart broke when I saw Lance and that woman kissing. I didn’t know he already has a girlfriend when he never mentioned it to me before.Oh well, he did mention to me about the woman that she likes.“Miss Sophie.”I was surprised when Venom suddenly went out of the bathroom.“V-Venom. God, you surprised me.”“I apologize, Miss Sophie. I already prepared your bath for you. Please have your bath now because Boss said that he wants to eat breakfast with you.”“Huh? You mean Vincent is still here?”She nodded. “Yes.”I stood up and walked towards her. “Alright. By the way, Venom. Thank yo
Sophie’s POVI kept on heaving a sigh while I was on my way to the infirmary. Why does it have to be me? I don’t want to see Lance yet. I don’t want to see his face because I will only remember what I saw the last time. And what if that woman is with him right now?I took a deep breathe as soon as I reached the infirmary. I walked towards the door and my hands began shaking when I held the doorknob.Do I really have to give these papers to him?But I can’t.What if I just leave it here outside? For sure he’ll see it when he goes out.Or maybe I’ll just tell our lecturer that Mr. Jacobs is not around.That’s right, maybe I’ll just—“Sophie.”My eyes automatically widened when the door of the infirmary suddenly went open and Lance stepped outside while looking straightly at me. I immediately averted my gaze from him. “M-Mr. Jacobs…”
