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
Sophie’s POV“This is my parents’ house; I came here to visit them today.” Lance said to me with a huge smile on his face.My mouth went agape. “Y-Your paents’ house? Y-You mean M-Mrs. Hastings is your mom?”“Yes.”“Oh my God…” I mumbled to myself.“How about you Sophie, may I know why you’re here?” he suddenly asked me.I looked at him. “Err… actually—“Lance!”Mrs. Hastings suddenly appeared and came running to Lance and hugged him. “Oh my God, Lance I missed you so much!”“I missed you too, mommy.”I was just looking at them while they were hugging each other. They seem to be close to each other.“Are you hungry? I asked the chef to cook your favorite food today.” Mrs. Hastings said to Lance.“Really? Sure! I missed eating here too.&rdq
Sophie’s POV“Where have you been?”I was surprised to see Vincent sitting on my bed as soon as I opened the door of my room.“W-What are you doing inside my room?” I asked.“Waiting for you.”He stood up and walked towards me. “You didn’t answer any of my calls. Didn’t I tell you to go home early? Are you really that bull-headed?”“I’m sorry, I didn’t notice the time. I just went to the mall with my best friend.”“Oh, really?”“Y-Yes. By the way, I’ll be going to Sabrina’s house, too. I’ll be helping her cook for a party for her mother.” I said.He stared at me for a while with furrowed brows. “Do you think I believe you? Are you seeing some other guy? Do you have a boyfriend, perhaps?”“H-Huh? N-No, I don’t have one. I-I’m telling you the truth.&rdquo
Sophie’s POV“Sophie!”I turned around as soon as I heard Lance’s voice.My heart started beating so fast as soon as I saw his face. He was wearing a black turtle neck with a pair of black jeans, wearing his signature black round glasses.Now that I look at him, he somehow resembles Vincent.Wait, why am I thinking about that jerk?He almost touched me down there last night. Good thing I was able to remind him that he only owns my thigh and not my soul.I should make sure that I would win the next game or else he would be able to conquer the other part of me that I’ll never want to give up to him.“Where’s Sabrina?” I came back to my senses when Lance asked me.“I-I don’t know. She’s not answering any of my calls. Maybe she’s already on her way here.”
