Sophie's POV
Miss Felestine stood up, the smile on her face didn't vanish. "Sophie!"
"G-Good morning, Miss Felestine."
"Please take a seat, sweetheart."
"Thank you." I sat on a couch and she sat next to me.
"Miss Thea said that you want to see me?" I asked.
Why do I feel so nervous no that I'm in front of her.
"Yes, I told her that. By the way Sophie, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you in the first place that I am the CEO of this company. I just didn't want you to feel awkward towards me."
I shook my head. "You don't have to apologize, ma'am. I understand you and I think it was also my fault since I didn't immediately recognize you."
"Actually, I'm so glad that you weren't able to recognize me. I felt comfortable with you since the first time that we met and I don't even know why. By the way, congratulations. You truly deserve to win the competition."
"Thank you so much, ma'am. It's such an honor for me to receive suc
Vincent's POV"Where's Lance?" I asked his maid as soon as I stepped out of my car."Sir Vincent, sir Lance went to your parents house today so---I didn't let her finish speaking, I went back inside my car and drove off to our parents' house.This would be the very first time that I will go there. I haven't gone there for so long ever since I moved out from our house.I want to see Lance, I would like to tell him to give Sophie back to me."S-Sir Vincent?" The maids in our house looked so surprised upon seeing me."Where's Lance?""H-He's inside, Sir."With my hands balled into fists, I walked straight to the living room and there, I saw Lance, my mom, and dad busy talking to each other."Lance!" I yelled.All of them turned around and looked in my direction. Lance stood up, I quickly walked towards him and punched him on the face."You fucking bastard!""Vincent!!!"Lance fell to the
Sophie's POV"Venom, do you think my decision is just right?" I asked Venom while we were drinking wine while watching a movie."Miss Sophie?"I looked at her. "I asked Vincent to file a divorce.""You did?""Yeah. He got so furious and told me that he loves me. It seems like he will never allow me to divorce him.""Do you still love him?" She asked.I drank more of my wine. "My feelings for him never changed. You know, the moment that I saw him, my heart started beating so fast. I wanted to hug him, kiss him, I wanted to run into him and tell him how much I missed him but I didnt...""I understand you, Miss Sophie. If that is the case then I think you really have to think first. Don't file a divorce yet or you'll regret in the end. I think you should give boss a chance to prove how much he loves you. If he said that he loves you more than Miss Monica, then I think he is saying the truth. Boss has always been so straightforward
Sophie's POV"You did really great, Sophie. I was really impressed!" said Miss Felestine while we were heading to the company lounge."I was really nervous a while ago. I thought I would start stuttering while presenting." I said.We sat down on the couch. "I didn't actually notice that you were feeling nervous. You look so confident, sweetheart.""You are complimenting me too much, Miss Felestine...."She shook her head. "No, honey. I'm just telling the truth. You did really great and I am so proud of you.""Thank you...""By the way, I saw that handsome guy who sent you here this morning, is he your boyfriend?""Huh? No, he's a very close friend of mine.""Really? But you suit each other. I think your'll make a great couple."I just smiled at her."Sophie, can we go for a dinner next week? I would like to know you even more." Miss Felestine smiled at me."Dinner next week? Sure, Miss Felestine. I'd
Sophie's POV"Sophie, do you think I look good now? Do you think I already look presentable? Ah, why do I feel so nervous?" Dad kept on asking me while we were inside his car. My brother Seb was the one who volunteered to drive.I laughed because of how daddy acted. "Dad, why would you feel nervous? Miss Felestine is a nice person.""I know that honey, but I just can't help myself from getting so nervous. Of course I want to make her see that your dad is a presentable man.""You are a presentable man, daddy. Actually, you look so handsome today."He laughed. "Oh Sophie, you're so good at complimenting me even now.""Sophie, did you tell her that your very handsome brother is going with you too?""Of course I did. I called her last night and told her about you too.""And did you also tell her that she can get take me in and be one of their company models?" He joked."Hahahaha! You Seb!"***"Miss Felestine sai
Sophie's POV"Dad, do you know her? Do you know Miss Felestine?" I kept on asking my dad but he wasn't even saying a thing.I looked at Miss Felestine and I saw tears filling her eyes. "Albert... How can you do this to me? I thought you already died...""D-Died?" I asked confusingly."Anna... W-What---Miss Festine suddenly looked at me. Tears started cascading down her cheeks as she walked towards me. "Is she... Is she m-my daughter?"My eyes widened. "D-Daughter? D-Dad, what does she mean by that? P-Please, tell me what's happening, daddy!" I yelled as tears started streaming down my face too."Sophie....""A-Anna, s-she's your mother..."My mouth went agape. "B-But how did that... I know my mom's face! I even have a photo of her!!""That is not your mom, Sophie...""W-What?""Y-Your mom is Felestine.... She is your Aunt Natalie's sister. W-We had an affair before and you are our daughter. Upon kno
Sophie's POVI decided to visit my mother Hannah at the graveyard to give her some flowers."Mommy... I don't know what to do anymore... I don't know who to believe... If you are here you'll probably tell me the truth... I will only believe you..."I quickly wiped the tears in my eyes. "How are you now, mommy? I hope you are doing well there in heaven. I love you so much, mom..."I stayed there for a little bit longer until I finally decided to stand up."I will go back here, mommy..."I was about to finally leave when someone suddenly arrived, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.It was Miss Felestine."Sophie...""M-Miss Felestine."She smiled then she walked towards me. She kept down on the ground and put the bouquet on my mom's grave."I would like to thank you, Hannah. I would like to thank you for taking care of my daughter... I've been away from her for so long... I almost thought that she alre
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
********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
