SOPHIE'S POV
"Venom, will you accompany me to the ball tomorrow?" I asked Venom as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a half bath before going to sleep.
Venom looked at me. "Of course, Miss Sophie. Your mother will also announce that you are her long-lost daughter tomorrow, right?"
"Well...yeah. I feel so nervous about that. Then there is that man again..."
"That man?"
I heaved a sigh. "Vincent."
"Boss will go there too?"
"Uh-huh. And I think he's planning something."
"He will finally know that you already found your real mother."
I sat on the bed. "As if he cares about that."
"Of course, Miss Sophie. He cares about you."
I looked away and just reached for my hair brush. "You know what? Lance saved me again today. Vincent tried to force me to go back to him again, good thing Lance came, and he pretended to be my boyfriend."
Venom's eyes widened. "He pretended to be your boyfriend?"
SOPHIE'S POV"You look freakin' gorgeous, Sophie!" Sabrina cooed as soon as she saw me all dressed up in the dressing room of the hotel, where Miss Felestine decided to hold the ball for the special announcement.I just wore a black Tulle bustier gown with black underlay with two front slits. They also put light makeup on my face and permed my hair a bit.I smiled at her. "Thank you for coming here, Sab.""And why would I miss the most important day in my best friend's life?! Of course, I would be the first one to congratulate and clap for you even though you seem to have your new best friend already," she said as she looked at Venom, who was sitting on a couch.I laughed because of what Sabrina had said. She always tells me how jealous she is of Venom. She said that I spend most of my time with Venom instead of her. And that never fails to make me laugh."Oh, Sabrina. How many times do I have to tell you that Venom is like a sister to me?"
SOPHIE'S POVMy hands kept on shaking while I was waiting to be called into the dressing room. The event had finally started, and I was just waiting for the coordinator to inform me if it was time to go out.And just as I thought, the door went open."Miss Sophie, you may go out now." Sol, one of the even coordinators, called me."O-Okay, I'll go there now," I said as I stood up.Why do I feel so nervous?And why does it feel like something's going to happen tonight?I could hear Miss Felestine's voice while I was standing backstage, waiting for her to call my name so that I could finally go out on stage."I have been looking for her for almost twenty years now. Long ago, I thought I would never find her again. But then God is too good because he let her live. And guess what? He even made way for me to get close to my daughter. I didn't even know that the person that I had been looking for was already right beside me. Ladies and
SOPHIE'S POV"May I dance with the most beautiful girl here tonight?" Vincent suddenly said to me while laying his hand in front of me, waiting for me to accept it.I glared at him before I reached for his hand.Vincent put both of his hands around my waist while my hands were around his shoulders. We started dancing slowly although I still couldn't look at him since he was staring intently at me."I didn't know that your real mother is Felestine." he suddenly spoke."You didn't have to know about that, anyway.""I have to, I'm your husband."I looked at him. "You are not. Have you forgotten that I already have my boyfriend?""Come on, Sophie. You can't fool me with that. I know you're just pretending."How did he know about that?"See? I know you're lying when you said that Lance is your boyfriend. I was the one who made you forget about him, remember?""W-Well, that doesn't mean I wouldn't be able t
SOPHIE'S POVThen the lights suddenly turned off. Everyone started panicking.'What happened? Where's everyone?!'All the people around us started yelling and wondering why it happened.Then I heard Vincent speak again."Let's go, Sophie.""H-Huh? Where to?""Somewhere far from here.""What? But---I just felt him grab my hand, and we started running away in a direction that I don't even know where."Vincent, where are we going?" I asked him.Then the lights went on again and that's when I realized that we were already outside the venue. A helicopter was in front of us and also Vincent's men.I looked at Vincent who was still holding my hand."What is the meaning of this, Vincent?""Please, go with me, Vincent.""But Vincent..."He let go of my hand, but he was still looking at me. "Will you be with me?""Sophie!"All of a sudden, I saw Lance together with Miss
SOPHIE'S POVVincent guided me as we stepped out of the private jet.It was a private island."Is it yours?" I asked."Ours."I looked around the island and I couldn't help but be amazed by its beauty. It was surrounded by crystal-clear waters ranging in hue from inky sapphire to turquoise, lapping upon talcum sands fringed by lazy palms swaying in the breeze."This is beautiful," I mumbled."But you're still the most beautiful."I smiled at him.Vincent held my hand again as we entered the private villa.The villa was uniquely situated on a rock and feature magnificent ocean views. It also has a private plunge pool, a large bath with sloped edges, and a covered veranda. The lavishly large main bedroom has a dressing room with a dressing table that leads onto a large, private bathroom fitted with a bath and both indoor and outdoor showers. The bedrooms were air-conditioned and all rooms have overhead ceiling fans. T
SOPHIE'S POV"Marry me again, Sophie."My eyes widened. "W-What?"He looked directly into my eyes. "Marry me again.""Vincent, are you serious? We're still married, anyway. You haven't filed a divorce, right?""That marriage was fake. I only married you because I wanted someone to entertain me, but this time, I want it to be a real marriage. I want us to start all over again. I want you to marry me again, Sophie. I want you to spend the rest of your life by my side. Will you marry me?" He was looking straight into my eyes while he was saying all of those things. There, I could see the sincerity in his eyes.My heart was beating really fast and I could feel tears starting to fill my eyes. It was as if everything around us disappeared."O-Of course, I will marry you again, Vincent. You know how much I love you. You know how much I am willing to be with you, no matter how many times you hurt me. I will stay by your side, no matter what h
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
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
