Sophie’s POV
I 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.”
Sophie’s POVLance and I ended up in a coffee shop.“Wow! This coffee looks so beautiful!” I cooed as soon as the barista put our order on the table. It has a heart-shaped latte art made from steamed milk.“Yeah, they do really have such creative baristas. I even heard that one of them joined an international contest last year.”“Really? Is that true? That’s amazing then!”He nodded. “And they serve delicious croissants too. I usually go here whenever I want to stress out.”“That means you’re stressed right now?” I asked him.“Not anymore because you’re here already.”Heat immediately captivated my whole face. I just sipped some of my coffee while averting my gaze from him.He’s actually the same with Vincent in that part. They are both so bold and outspoken. We
Vincent’s POV“Where’s Sophie?” I asked Venom as soon as I entered the mansion.“She said that she went to her best friend’s house, Sir. She also said that she already informed you about it.”I nodded. “So she really went there, huh? For sure it’s not even her best friend that she’s meeting up with. She kept on stuttering when she told me about it last night.”Venom didn’t say anything.I don’t have anything to do today that’s why I went home early. I was actually planning on playing around with Sophie all day just to keep myself entertained but looks like she’s entertaining herself by being with somebody else.I think she’s having so much freedom and I don’t like it.My phone started ringing. “Vincent.”“Boss, we already found him.”
