LANCE’S POV
I love Sophie. I’ve been loving her ever since the day that we first met but I never told her about it because she’s still my student. And I never wanted her to stay away from me if ever she knew that I like her. I said to myself that maybe I’ll just wait for her to graduate first, I’ll wait for her to finally achieve her dreams then I’ll finally confess to her.
But then I suddenly knew that she’s married to my younger brother. My younger who I love the most too. I found out that they were married and my heart automatically broke into pieces. Now, I know I’ll never have the chance to confess to her. They are both important to me.
I tried to move on and was about abandon my feelings for Sophie but then…
*FLASHBACK*
“By the way, Lance.”
“Hmm?”
“I-I just want to ask something; I hope you won’t mind it.”
I looked at her. &ld
Lance’s POVI gently put Sophie in the backseat of my car. She got so drunk and lose her consciousness afterward. She was also crying a while ago and I don’t even know the reason why. I just found her near the hotel’s garden and she was crying.Everybody also went home already and we couldn’t find V either. Sabrina got a call from her mom too so I’ll be the one to bring Sophie home.I couldn’t help myself from wondering why she got drunk and cried so hard a while ago. I wonder what she saw in the garden that made her like that.“Young Master Lance.” Venom welcomed us as soon as I entered Vincent’s mansion while carrying Sophie in my arms.“May I know where Sophie’s room is?”“U-Upstairs, Sir.”I nodded. “I’ll just bring her there.”“O-Okay, Sir.”Carrying Sophie in my arms, I went upstairs going to her room w
Sophie’s POVLance helped me get all my things inside my room and put them inside my bag. Then we went downstairs to put it all inside his car.“Miss Sophie.” Venom suddenly called me.“Venom. What is it?”“Can I go with you, Miss Sophie?”“Huh?”She bit he lip. “I know I owe a lot from boss, but I just think that you are my responsibility now and that I have to take care of you wherever you go. Please let me go with you, Miss Sophie.”I then looked at Lance. “Lance, can we take Venom with us? I actually don’t want to leave her here either.”“Of course, she will go with us.”“Thank you so much, Lance.”Venom and I hugged each other then we were about to go outside and finally leave when Vincent’s car suddenly arrived. He parked it in front of the mansion.I hurriedly ran towards Lance and hid be
Vincent’s POVThe first time that I met Sophie, her beauty immediately stunned me. That’s also the reason I kissed her that time. And she was so surprised I couldn’t stop smiling whenever I remember how bold she was to act like that in front of me.She was the very first woman who did that to me. The very first woman who had the audacity to slap me on my cheek. She was just fortunate because aside from she’s pretty as fuck, her lips tasted like cherry too. I couldn’t take her off my mind since that day and I was still planning on how I could get her to sleep with me the next time that we’ll meet.But then I never met her again until one night when his father, Laurens, offered his own daughter to me as collateral to his debt. I got surprised to see her again, and that made me feel excited. I was excited to play with her and use her to satisfy my own selfish needs.All I wanted was to have her as my property, as someone t
Vincent’s POV“You look incredibly beautiful,” I whispered in Sophie’s ears while we were walking down the stairs at the start of the party.She didn’t respond. She tried to brush my hand off her but I kept on pulling her back.“You should smile, Sophie.” I whispered to her.“And what if I don’t want to smile?”I looked at her. “Haven’t you still forgotten about that?”“Forgotten about what? Why, what did you do? Have you done something wrong for me to get mad at you?” she asked sarcastically.“This is not the right time for us to argue, Sophie.”She looked at me annoyingly. “Then what time is it? Time to flirt with your first love? Then go ahead, flirt with her all you want and I won’t even care.”“What? Soph---She brushed my hand off her and left me there.She hasn’t forgott
Sophie's POVI woke up inside a huge room that I'm not even familiar with."Miss Sophie, you're finally awake!" Venom immediately sat next to me on the bed.I sat up on the bed and looked at her. "Venom.""Miss Sophie, we are here at Sir Lance's house.""Yes, I remember."Then the door suddenly went open and Lance stepped inside. His eyes widened upon seeing me. "Sophie, are you alright? How are you feeling?""I feel fine." I said with a not-so-enrgetic tone of voice.Lance looked at Venom. "Please, kindly help the maids to prepare some food downstairs.""Yes, sir." said Venom before leaving us there inside the room."V has been calling me." Lance started the conversation.Just hearing his name makes my blood boil already."I don't want to hear his name." I said to him."Oh, sorry, I understand.""Lance, can I stay here while I'm looking for a job and have enough money to rent a pad?"He looked at me
Sophie's POV"What?! You are staying at Mr. Jacobs' house?!"I looked around us and signed Sabrina not to be so loud. "Don't be so noisy, Sabrina. Someone might hear you!""Hehehe... I'm so sorry Sophie. I'm just so surprised because you said that you are staying at our hottest teacher's mansion!""I won't stay there for too long, I will look for a job and rent my own pad. Do you know any job?"She shook her head. "I don't know any job, sweetie. But maybe you can apply as a waitress in a coffee shop or maybe a saleslady?""Do you think that will be enough for me to rent an apartment?" I asked her."Well, I don't think that would work. Maybe you can, but only a studio type house excluding the bills and other things that you need to pay."I heaved a sigh. "I don't really know what to do anymore. I don't really have any place to go.""You can stay at my house if you want.""Really? Do you think I can do that?""Sophie, I am
Vincent's POVI tossed the gun to the ground as soon as I was able to kill the two men that tried to go inside our base."He is back, boss. Lucien is back.""Oh, so that man isn't dead?" I asked while washing my hands.George shook his head. "No, boss. Our men found out that the man that you killed before is not him. And he was also able to gain new men. They said that they are even greater in number than us now. He knows every powerful person in Europe and even in Asia. They really are powerful now.""And why do you sound so scared?" I asked him with my brows raised."N-No, boss. I am not scared. It's just that I think Lucien has been preparing for your meeting once again. I think he and his men are now fully equipped.""No one dares to go against me, George. Everyone who tries to betray me or fight me will always be put in hell. And Lucien, I was able to defeat him before. That only means I will be able to defeat him again. Do you underst
Sophie's POV"Sophie, I'm so sorry for what happened a while ago." Lance said to me while patting my shoulders.Vincent just went here a while ago and he even tried to take me with him. Good thing I was able to defend myself and told him not to show his face to me anymore."Lance, I think I need to leave your house already." I said as I wiped the tears in my eyes. "If I stay here, I know Vincent will just keep on going here and try to get me again.""Okay, then let's just buy a house for you somewhere. Although I prefer you to be here since if you are here, I know that you are safe. I can watch over you. Please just stay here for a while, Sophie.""But---"Stay here for a while until you can finally find a decent job and rent your own pad."I heaved a sigh. "Okay.""Thank you. Vincent will finally stop going here, I know that. He already heard it from you so for sure he will follow what you just said.""I hope so, I don't really want to s
