VINCENT'S POV
I 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
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
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
********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 POV"So, what makes you think that we'd actually accept you as a part-time teacher here in our University?" asked one of the interviewers to me.With my hands shaking, I took a deep breath and faced her confidently, at least that's the definition of confidence for me. Then I opened my mouth, "I am actually...err... I'm a straight A student from kindergarten up until now. And I am also running for the highest rank in our class now. I really like children and I love teaching them..."You can do it, Sophie. No need to be nervous, you can do it, girl.The woman and the man beside her looked at each other and nodded, "So, Laurens is your surname? Do you have any relationship with Mr. Albert Laurens?""Yes, he is my father."Both of their eyes widened upon hearing what I just said. They quickly stood up and bowed their heads at me, "G-Good Morning, Miss Laurens.""N-No, you don't have to be so polite to me. I'm just an applicant he
Author's POV"Boss, please spare me, give me more time please!" a man who looks about the age of thirty was kneeling in front of a tall young man wearing a black suit and tie, holding a gun in his right hand, playing with it while looking at him. They were surrounded by many men in black suits too, smiling and glaring at each other. The room was a torture cell, different weapons and stains of blood were evident on the floor and on the wall.There was blood on the side of the lips of the poor man, his eyes seemed to be punched so many times that it made a violet circle around it. "Boss, I will pay you next week, I swear. If I don't, then you can kill me!""Renzo, I already gave you one month to pay me, and now, you're asking for another week?""Boss, please... please forgive me..." he was already crying, the tears in his eyes and the blood all over his face were already mixing. Then the man rose up from his chair, standing before the poor guy, "You know ho
Sophie's POVAs soon as the bell ring for the dismissal, I immediately took my backpack and was about to leave the classroom when my professor suddenly called me, "Miss Laurens.""M-Miss?""Can you tell Mr. Jacobs to meet me at my office?" she said, fixing her eyeglasses. She's a beautiful woman at her 20s, our professor in literature, my favorite subject. I quickly nodded as I clutched my books to my chest. "Yes, Miss.""Thank you."Mr. Jacobs was our school doctor here in our University. He's handsome with his blonded hair slicked back, his deep emerald eyes that could melt someone who dares to stare at him. He also has the body of a Greek God which make all of the girls here drool over him. And if you ask me if I like him, is it so obvious? I first met him during my first day here in this University, he approached me because I got lost and didn't know where my building was then he told me where and even accompanied me until I finally found
Sophie’s POV“I-I don’t care who you are but all I know is that you can’t just leave a kid crying after hurting her.” I said while maintaining eye-to-eye contact with the Greek god standing before me with his expressionless face. He looks only as young as me but why is he so tall?His right brow raised as he looked at me, “So you don’t really know me?”“I don’t know you, okay? Do I even have to know who you are?”I don’t even know where did I get that bravery. I just stared at him although my hands were already shaking. His eyes were sharp and I think I could already die with his glare. “You’re quite brave, huh? Well, let’s see where your bravery would take you.”Without any warning, the man grabbed me by the waist and pressed his lips on mine. My eyes widened and I froze in place. I placed my hands on his chest to push him off but he wa
Sophie’s POV Everyone was already sitting on their chairs, talking to each other when I finally arrived with my hair all over my face because of running my way just to make it on time. ”S-Sorry I’m late.” I said as I sat next to Sebastian. He smiled as soon as he saw me. “It’s alright, Sophie. At least you came.” Said dad. “Can you see yourself right now, Sophie? We’re having dinner with a very important person and you’re there wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of black jeans with your hair looking like you just woke up?” my stepmother suddenly said to me. I lowered my head, “I’m sorry, I just came from school so I wasn’t able to change my clothes.” “It’s alright, Sophie. Even if you wear rags, you’d still stand out.” Sebastian suddenly said so I nudged him when I saw Sera and Samantha glaring at him. “Are you a fool? You just look like us so if you say that we’re ugly, it’s like you’re saying that you’re ugly too.” S

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
