Sophie’s POV
Lance 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. WeVincent’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.”
Sophie’s POVLance looked alternately at me and Vincent. His brows were furrowed. “V, what are you doing at my student’s house?”“Student?”“Yes, Sophie is my student. She studies in the school where I work as a doctor.”Vincent looked at me so I averted my gaze.My heart keeps on beating so fast.Why did I even allow Lance to go here?“She’s my wife.” Vincent suddenly said.Lance’s eyes widened. “W-Wife? A-Are you kidding me? Sophie is still young.”“She’s my wife, you can even ask it to her.” Vincent said then he looked at me.I bit my lower lip as I tried to find the right words to say. Lance looked at me. “Is that true, Sophie?”“Y-Yes…” I almost mumbled.Lance’s mouth went agape.Of course he would be shock after knowing that his young
Sophie’s POV“Miss Sophie, Sir Lance already left.” Venom said to me as she opened the door of my room.I didn’t take the blanket off me. “Okay…”“I will go now, Miss Sophie.”“Okay…”I don’t know why but I don’t feel good after what just happened. Lance finally knew about my marriage with Vincent and that also means that we’ll be having much smaller time with each other. For sure he’ll be more distant to me now since his brother is my husband.I don’t want him to stay away from me…Him, knowing that I am already married to somebody only validates the fact that we don’t have a chance to be together anymore. I know it’s wrong for me to feel this way but I feel so sad and hurt.Lance is my first love and the one I love until now. I don’t want to be away from him, I want to be with him f
Sophie’s POV“What?! Mr. Jacobs already knew about your relationship with Vincent?!”I nodded as lay my head on my desk. “And now I don’t know what kind of face should I give him. I’m so embarrassed because I hid it from him. For sure he thinks that I’m trying to hit on him and his brother.”“Well, I don’t think he cares about it.”“What? Oh well, he already has a girlfriend so why else would he care about whether I am married or not?”“Poor Sophie. Well anyway, you already have a strikingly handsome and hot as hell husband so there’s no need for you to be sad.”And the mention of his name already brought the heat to my cheeks as soon as I remembered what happened last night. “A-About that…”“What?”“S-Sab, w-we almost did it…” I whispered after looking around us.And as usual,
Sophie’s POV“Vincent, I will just go out with your brother today.” I said to Vincent while we were having our breakfast.He wiped his mouth with a napkin, then he looked at me. “What for? Is that a date?”“How I wish.” I said.It became casual for the two of us to talk about his older brother ever since he found out that Lance is actually the man that I love. He didn’t get mad and care maybe because he doesn’t really care and we both know that we both don’t have feelings towards each other.Actually, I became more comfortable around Vincent ever since that night happened. I mean, that night when we almost did it. Although I still haven’t asked him about that Monica that he mentioned that night.“Sure, he’ll take care of you anyway. Just make sure that you won’t allow him to touch any of my properties.”“I’m sure he wouldn’t wan
Sophie’s POVVenom helped me decorate the mansion’s garden for Vincent’s birthday. I just put some blue and gold balloons at the entrance of the garden then a large banner that says, ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY, V!’ There were Christmas lights that we hang around the trees and on the pathways.I was also the one who chose the food to be served and even the drinks. I also helped to bake his cake and decorated the tables and chairs for the visitors.After I confessed to Lance, I cried so hard when I went home.But then I realized that maybe it’s the best time to move on already and let go of my feelings toward him. I just decided to practice focusing more on Vincent.Starting from now on, I’ll try learning to love Vincent. After all, I am married to him.Speaking of Lance, I wonder why is he still not here.I tried calling him a while ago but he didn’t answer any of them.He usually goes here e
Sophie’s POV“Surprise.” I said to Vincent with a smile on my face.He looked at me without removing the smile that he was wearing the moment that he saw all of us. “Did you do it? I mean, you’re the one who planned this all?”“I was the one who designed it, but Lance was the one who planned it.” I replied as I glanced at Lance who was walking towards us.He patted Vincent on his shoulder. “Happy Birthday, my dearest younger brother!”“Thank you.” said Vincent then they hugged each other.Everyone started greeting him and he just smiled at them and asked them to eat already.“I didn’t know you know how to smile.” I joked when he came back to me.“And it’s because of you.” he suddenly said which automatically caused my heart to flutter.Why is he smiling so beautifully?This is the very first time that I see
Vincent’s POV“V, I have something to tell you.” Monica, one of my classmates and my childhood best friend said while we were sitting on a bench under an apple tree in our secret place.I looked at her as I fixed my eyeglasses. “Huh?”“What is it?”She hesitated to speak at first, but then she took a deep breath and looked at me. “I-I think… I think I like…”“H-Huh?”“I think I like Lance…” she almost mumbled, her cheeks turned pinkish, which made her look even cuter.I wasn’t able to speak at first because of what she just confessed. Monica is my first love, and the only girl that I loved since we were just kids. I’ve been loving her secretly, and I thought she’s in love with me too but---I forced a smile on my face. “R-Really? Then why don’t you tell it to him?”“Y-You know I can&r
********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
