Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

SOPHIE’S POV

Vincent 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. The retracting sliding doors allow uninterrupted views onto the lawns and the sea in front of the villa.

“Would you like to take a bath first before eating, or would you like to eat now?” Vincent asked me.

“I would like to take a bath first. I also want to change my clothes but I don’t have any clothes with me, so I’m wondering if there is a place here where I can buy clothes from?”

“There are dresses inside the walk-in closet. You can choose there.”

“Huh?”

“I already bought some clothes for you. I already prepared everything before bringing you here.”

I nodded as I smiled at him. “Is that how sure you are that you would be able to bring me here?”

He shrugged. “Well, I already decided that if you refuse to go with me, then I would just force you to go with me whether you like it or not.”

“What a jerk you are.”

“Would you like me to show you how such a jerk I am?” he said with a smirk.

I shook my head. “Probably not. I already know that, so you don’t have to prove it anymore.”

All of a sudden, he started walking towards me. “Would you like to take a bath with me?”

“W-What?!”

“Why? Is there anything wrong with that? You are still my wife, remember?” he said, already playing with my hair while staring into my lips.

I gulped. “I-I’m going to take a bath now. J-Just wait for me here.”

I even heard Vincent’s laughter before I finally decided to take a bath. As soon as I went out of the bathroom, was surprised when I didn’t see Vincent. I roamed my eyes around the room, but I couldn’t find him, so I went downstairs and still, I didn’t see him.

Where did he go?

“Excuse, have you seen Vincent?” I asked one of the staff of the villa who was passing by.

“Oh, Sir Dylan told me to ask you to go to the beach.”

“Oh, okay, thank you.”

She just smiled at me, then she finally walked away.

He wants me to go to the beach?

I wonder what did he plan again.

I felt the cold wind on my skin as soon as I stepped out of the villa and headed to the beach where Vincent asked me to go to.

The sky was full of stars, which reflected in the ocean. It was calm, I didn’t see any people out there until I saw a light coming from a specific direction.

Maybe that’s Vincent.

I quickly walked in that direction until I finally saw Vincent standing there while looking at me. He was wearing a white v-neck shirt and beach shorts. Beside him was a round table with candlelit dinner.

“W-What is this?” I asked him while trying my best not to make it so obvious that I was so impressed with the look of the candlelit dinner that he prepared.

He walked towards me and held my hand. “I prepared this for us. Would you like to have a seat?”

“Sure, thank you. This is so beautiful.”

Vincent pulled a chair for me before he also sat down in his seat.

I couldn’t take the smile off my face. “Did you prepare it all? I mean, only by yourself?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“U-huh.”

“And when did you become being so romantic?” I kidded.

“Since I met you.”

I smiled because of what he said. It’s really been a while since the last time we had dinner together. Vincent poured some wine in our glasses, then he handed my glass to me. “Congratulations,” he said.

“Congratulations?”

“You finally found your mom. I’m so glad you finally saw her again.”

I took the glass of wine from him. “Thank you. I still couldn’t believe it though. I never thought that she’s alive. All my life I thought I don’t already have a mom.”

“I’m happy for you.”

“Thank you.” I smiled.

“Should we toast to that?” He asked while raising his glass.

I raised my glass too. “Toast to that!”

We both drank our wine then we were captivated by silence for a while.

“Isn’t it so beautiful here? I mean, so peaceful. It feels like there’s no problem. We’re very far from everyone. Far from all the things that could hurt us.”

“I’m sorry.”

I stopped talking when I heard Vincent spoke. I looked at him with furrowed brows. “Huh?”

“I’m sorry for hurting you. For everything that I have done to you. For making you experience all of this. I’m sorry for bringing you into my world.”

“Don’t say that. It’s not as if I didn’t want this. I’m the one who’s supposed to be saying sorry to you. I’m always cutting you off whenever you try to explain yourself. I’m sorry for making it hard for you. I’m sorry if you had to be in trouble with your whole family just because of me.”

“We were already in trouble even before you came. You just made the trouble worth it.” He said.

“Vincent…

“Marry me again, Sophie.”

My eyes widened. “W-What?”

He looked directly into my eyes. “Marry me again.”
