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 hSophie’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…”
Sophie’s POV“Sophie, will you go to the mall with me on Sunday? There is a dress that I badly wanted to buy since last month but I couldn’t find a time since mom always wants to see me studying even if I can’t even understand what I am studying.” Sabrina pouted while we were walking towards the school cafeteria.“Huh? I don’t know. Maybe I should ask Vincent first.”Sabrina looked at me with a teasing face. “Having a husband is quite hard, right? You have to tell him everything that you want to do and where are you planning to go.”“It’s not because he’s my husband, but because we both agreed to it when he took me from my father.”“Oh. I understand now.”“Speaking of my father, I wonder how is he now.”“For sure they’re already having the time of their life since they don’t have a debt to pay to Vincent anymor
Sophie’s POV“I want you to file a divorce.”I almost choke from the coffee that I was drinking when Vincent’s mom suddenly said that. I looked at her confusingly. “Sorry?”“Do you love him?” she suddenly asked.I gulped as I averted my gaze. “H-He is my husband so—“You are not. You are probably not in love with that jerk.”“Why do you want me to file a divorce?” I asked.“I want Vincent to realize that no one’s going to love him.”“W-What?”She stood up. “No one’s going to love him because he’s a demon, and an ungrateful son. I want him to live miserably, I want him to realize how much he needs us in his life. I want him to regret leaving us behind.”“I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, ma’am.”“Vincent c
********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
