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
********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
