Sophie's POV
"May I know where are you going, Miss Sophie?" Venom asked me as soon as she saw me getting ready.
I was wearing a simple yellow chiffon dress and my hair was in a bun. I also wore a simple make up. "Lance and I are having a dinner together."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah, he said he's going to tell me something important."
Venom nodded. "I'm so happy that you're finally having the courage to start again, Miss Sophie."
"What? Venom, Lance and I are just friends."
"But that doesn't mean you can't be more than that." She teased me.
I just shook my head while smiling when my phone starte ringing.
"Hello, Lance?"
"I'm already outside, are you ready?"
"Yes, I'll go there. Just wait for me."
"Okay."
Then I hang up the phone. I looked at Venom with a smile on my face. "I'll go ahead now, okay?"
"Alright Miss Sophie, take care."
"See you later."
Then I finally walked outside. I r
Sophie's POV"Sophie, are you sure you're going to be alright alone there?" asked Miss Felestine.I still call her Miss Felestine because I still can't address her as 'Mom' or 'mommy'. She said that she can wait until I can finally call her that.I smiled. "I want to practice talking to our company investors. You always go with me and you always save the conversation for me. I think I wouldn't be able to practice my marketing skills with that. I will forever rely on you.""But I like it when you rely on me."She smiled. "Alright then, I would let you talk to our biggest investor today. He would meet you at the conference room at 10 am today.""B-Biggest investor? B-But Miss Felestine, what if I wouldn't be able to convince him?""Then we lose our biggest investor." she just said as if it wasn't a big deal."But---"I trust you, Sophie. You can do it as long as you believe in your self. Trust me, you can do it."I
Sophie's POV"Good morning, Miss Laurens."My eyes widened and the smile on my face vanished as soon as I saw him.It was him.Vincent."Why are you looking at me like that, Miss Laurens? Is there something wrong?" He asked innocently with a playful smile on his face.What is he doing here?"I-I'm sorry but I think you are mistaken. I am waiting for Mr. Dylan Jacobs, not you. Please get out of here." I said to him.He just sat on the chair across mine and folded his arms on his chest. "I am Dylan Jacobs.""Vincent, I am not playing with you. I have a very important meeting with our biggest investor today so please stop fooling around and get out of here." I said with gritted teeth."Miss Laurens, I am not playing with you too. I am Dylan Jacobs. Your biggest investor."I glared at him. "Vincent, I am serious here!!""I only use Vincent Hastings as a mafia boss. But when it comes to real business worl
Sophie's POV"What? Your biggest investor is boss?" said Venom when I told her about what happened that morning.I nodded. "Yeah. I actually got surprised too. Is it really true that he uses the name 'Dylan Jacobs'?""Yes, he uses that whenever he's dealing with businessmen. However, he uses Vincent Hastings more often.""Really? I didn't know that.""Maybe he just didn't tell you. By the way, Miss Sophie. How did you feel when you saw him again?"I quickly averted my gaze from Venom. "N-Nothing. I didn't feel anything...""Really?"I sighed."Fine, I missed him too. And I admit that he looked handsome a while ago."Venom looked at me while smiling."But that doesn't mean that I want him back. I'm still mad at him. I just found him handsome and I just missed him but that's it. You know, it's normal to miss your ex after a long time that you haven't seen each other.""Miss Sophie, you don't have to hi
Sophie's POV"How was your meeting with Mr. Jacobs?" asked Miss Felestine to me while we were having coffee together.And I suddenly remembered all the things that happened when I met him last time."W-Well, I don't think he's interested in collaborating with us.""Huh? But why do you think so? Did he say something?"I shook my head. "N-No... That's just my guess. I think he won't accept our offer.""But he accepted it."My eyes widened as soon as Miss Celestine said that. "H-huh?""He accepted it, darling. I was even able to talk to him this morning over the phone and he said that he would like to know more about our company.""B-But I---"I told you, this is going to be successful. You did a great job! Do you know how much I want to collaborate with them? You don't know how happy you've made me, Sophie."I smiled although I was feeling really nervous. Why did Vincent accept our offer?"By the way,
Sophie's POV"Miss Sophie, Mr. Jacobs is already waiting for you in the conference room."When I heard that, my heart automatically started beating really fast.This is it."O-Okay. I'll go there now.""Okay, Miss Sophie."I stood up and looked at myself to make sure I look presentable before I go to the conference room. I was wearing a white office top and black pencil skirt.Someone opened the door of the conference room for me and I immediately saw Vincent sitting on a swivel chair while facing the glass walls."Mr. Jacobs." I almost rolled my eyes when I called him that.As soon as I mentioned his name, he turned around and looked at me. A smile appeared on his face upon seeing me. He stood up."Sophie.""Mr. Jacobs, thank you for accepting our offer. And since you requested us to tour you around the company, can we start now?" I asked him formally.I was surprised when he suddenly walked towards
Sophie's POV"Sophie, I want you to talk to me.""Please, open that door."He was leaning against the door so there was no way I could get there without going near him."I said talk to me first." He repeated."Then talk. I will listen to you. Go on." I said while I was getting pissed off.He heaved a deep sigh before talking. "About what happened during your---"How many times do I have to tell you that it was already done? There's no point in talking about the past because we can't bring that back anymore! Can't you see that I'll already happy with what I have now, Vincent? Can't you see that I'm already happy without you?!""Really? You're happy without me?""Yes! I'm so happy without you!!"He nodded as he clenched his jaw. "So, that means you don't love me anymore?"I wasn't able to speak immediately.Damn it."See? You can't even answer me. Because the truth is---"I don't love you
Sophie's POV"What?! Vincent and Dylan Jacobs are the same person?! And he what? He tried to kiss you?!" Sabrina said as soon as I told her about everything that happened yesterday.I wasn't able to talk to Sab for the past few weeks because she's been out of the country for a while."Y-Yeah. When I brought him to the stock room, h-he tried to kiss me..." I said while looking away."He tried, or you really let him kiss you?" Sabrina asked while looking skeptically at me.I bit my lower lip. "H-He kissed me all of a sudden! I didn't have a chance to push him away!"Sabrina shook her head. "Oh, Sophie. I know you really well. And for sure, you kissed him back, right? And, did something beyond that happen too?""W-What?! O-Of course not! N-Nothing happened after that because I already kicked him in the groin.""Ouch! That hurt as fuck, Sophie! Hahahaha!""He deserves that. And the next time he tries to go near me again, I w
Sophie's POVAs soon as Vincent and I went out Miss Felestine's office, I dragged him towards the company lobby."Why did you tell Miss Felestine about that?!""Told her what?""You know the reason why I left you there in the first place! How dare you made it look like as if I was the one at fault?!"Vincent suddenly crossed his arms and looked down at me since he was so tall. "You should be thankful because I didn't mention about what you did to me yesterday. Don't you know how much that hurt?! You kicked my balls, don't you want to have kids anymore?!"Heat immediately captivated my whole face when he said that. "W-What kids are you talking about? H-Hey, you were acting like a total pervert yesterday that's why I did that. You almost raped me inside that stock room!""Rape? Oh, Sophie. You kissed me back and you even moaned when I touched you, would you call it rape if you yourself got aroused by my touch?" He said while raising one
********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
