Sophie’s POV
“Venom, do you know what Vincent’s favorite food is?” I asked Venom while we were inside the limousine on our way to the supermarket because I decided to cook dinner for Vincent.
“Back when they were just kids, he used to eat bruschetta a lot.”
I looked at her. “Bruschetta?”
“Yes. That’s Italian food, Miss Sophie.”
“Really? I don’t know about that. This is the very first time that I’ve heard about it. But since it’s Vincent’s favorite, then I should give it a try.”
Venom nodded then smiled at me. “You’re right, Miss Sophie. I’m so glad that you finally made up with boss. Because the last time that I saw you with him, you were still fighting that’s why I was so scared when I left you with him inside your room.”
I immediately felt my cheeks turned hotter.
“Y-Yeah. We’re okay
Sophie’s POV“You know what, Sophie? Vincent has been really a hard-headed boy back then. He only listens to me and I was the one who always tells him what to do. He was so dependent on me back then but look at him now, he’s all grown-up. I can’t even recognize him anymore.”Monica has been talking a lot since we arrived here at Vincent’s mansion. She volunteered to help me make bruschetta but it turned out that I was just her apprentice because she did it all and she didn’t even give me any task to do.She put the bread in the oven and looked at me again. “V never loved other girls except me. Before I left, he confessed to me and said how much he loved me. He was so shy. But at that time Lance was the one I love. So I dumped him and told him the truth.”Why is she saying those things to me?“What do you think are the reasons why V loved me back then?” she asked me all of a sudden.
Sophie’s POV“This is really delicious, did you make it by yourself, Sophie?” Vincent asked me when he finally tasted the bruschetta that Monica made by herself with my small assistance.“Actually, I was the one who made it.” said Monica.Vincent looked at her. “Really? That’s why it tasted so good! Your recipe never really changed.”“Oh, you king of compliment man. If there’s someone who never changed here, it’s probably you. You’re still good at complimenting me.”“Because it’s true, right, Sophie?” Vincent suddenly looked at me.“H-Huh?”“Did you taste it too? Try it, it tastes super good.”I forced a smile on my face. “Y-Yeah, it tastes really good…”“See? Even Sophie liked it.”I just watched them have a good time with each other while I was feeling like an
Sophie’s POV“Ugh, my eyes are swollen! Can I even go to the university like this?!” I mumbled as I stared at myself in the mirror inside my room.This is what I’ve got from crying all night because of what Vincent has told me last night.I don’t think I can still look straight into his eyes either.“Miss Sophie, Boss already left.” Venom informed me as she opened the door.I smiled at her as I nodded. “Thanks. We can go to the university now.”“Yes. Milady.”I told Venom to inform me once Vincent leaves. I don’t want to see his face because I will only remember what he has told me last night and I would only end up crying again. Venom and I just went to the university as usual. I’m actually planning to go home early tonight and go to bed as early as I can just so Vincent wouldn’t have the chance to talk to me.“Damn, Sophie. Your husband
Sophie’s POV“Come on, Sophie. Just go inside already!” Sabrina kept on pushing me towards the infirmary.She suggested Lance as the person who could help us with our plan and I think I regret agreeing with her now.Venom and I left the mansion early in the morning, just so Vincent wouldn’t see me. He was even trying to call me but I didn’t answer any of his calls and I’m just planning to tell him that I was in our class when he called.I’m still mad at him. I’m so mad at him.“S-Sab, I feel so nervous! Can we just look for someone else?”“There’s no one who can help us except Mr. Jacobs!”“But Sab…”She suddenly looked at me suspiciously. “Sophie, can you be honest with me?”“H-Huh?”“You haven’t really moved on from Mr. Jacobs, have you?”“W-What?! Of course, I d
Sophie’s POV“Lance.”“Huh?”“Can I say something to you?”Lance stared at me for a while as if he was guessing what I would say next. “O-Of course.”I looked down as I started speaking. “Actually, Vincent married me, not because he loves me. We didn’t marry each other because we love each other.”“W-What?”“My father owed Vincent a huge amount of money and he wasn’t able to pay him on time. And so because he threatened he would kill my father, we had no choice but for me to go with him. I was forced to marry him even if I’m not in the legal age yet. I never wanted to be married to him because you were the one that I love back then. But because of course, I didn’t want him to kill my father, I went with him.”Lance's eyes widened in surprise. I already know he would be really surprised.“S-Sophie&hellip
Sophie’s POVI almost jumped from where I was standing when Vincent suddenly appeared in front of me as soon as I opened the door of my room.“Where are you going?” he asked while looking at me.I looked at him. He was still in his pajama so I guess he just woke up.How can he even manage to appear so handsome even when he just woke up?No, Sophie. You can’t fantasize about Vincent so early in the morning. You can’t because you are still mad at him.I averted my gaze as I spoke. “To the library?”“What are you going to do there?”“What do you think? Of course, to study.”He stared at me intently as he ran his fingers through his hair. “It’s been a week since the last time that I got to talk to you like this. I always wake up knowing that you already left for school and then I’ll go home to see you deeply asleep. Are you trying to avoid me
Sophie’s POV“What about this one? Can you answer this one?” Lance asked me while pointing to a certain part of the book that we were using to study.I actually finished studying all the topics last night, but of course, since we badly need to make Vincent jealous, I'll pretend like I don’t really know anything.“No, I actually don’t know how to answer that yet…” I said while scratching the back of my head, trying hard to act cute.“Really? Then let me just teach you.”“Thank you!”Lance intentionally leaned closer to me while explaining the problem in the book. I also leaned closer which caused our faces to almost touch each other. I could feel Vincent’s glare from the other table.“This is how you do this, okay? You just have to divide it here, then multiply it by its quotient.”“S-Sorry? Can you repeat that again? I didn’t
Sophie’s POV“Get inside the car.” Vincent said as soon as he saw me stepped outside of the mansion.I didn’t give him a glance. “No, I can go there with Venom.”“Get inside the car, Venom.”Venom immediately followed him. I glanced at Venom and was about to sit next to her but then Vincent suddenly grabbed my hand which made me look at him.“You are going to sit next to me. I’m not your driver.”I didn’t speak anymore. I just went inside his car and I didn’t speak until we reached the university.“I’ll pick you up later so don’t go without me.”“Let’s go, Venom.” I said then I stamped out of Vincent’s car, ignoring what he was saying.“Miss Sophie, wait!”I just continue walking and Venom was able to walk beside me. “Miss Sophie, is there a problem? Did you fight with the
