Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POVText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I almost jumped from where I was standing when Vincent suddenly appeared in front of me as soon as I opened the door of my room.

“Where are you going?” he asked while looking at me.

I looked at him. He was still in his pajama so I guess he just woke up.

How can he even manage to appear so handsome even when he just woke up?

No, Sophie. You can’t fantasize about Vincent so early in the morning. You can’t because you are still mad at him.

I averted my gaze as I spoke. “To the library?”

“What are you going to do there?”

“What do you think? Of course, to study.”

He stared at me intently as he ran his fingers through his hair. “It’s been a week since the last time that I got to talk to you like this. I always wake up knowing that you already left for school and then I’ll go home seeing you deeply asleep. Are you trying to avoid me, Sophie?”

I gulped.

“O-Of course not. W-Why would I even avoid you? There’s no reason for me to do that, right?”

He nodded but his brows were still furrowed. “Yeah, I don’t think you have any reasons to do that. From now on, I’ll be the one to send you to the university. I will also pick you up and we’ll go home with each other, do you understand that?”

No, I don’t understand why you pretend like you care about me when all you care about was your ex.

“Y-Yeah, sure.” I ended up saying that.

“Good.”

“I’ll go to the library now.”

I was about to started walking when Vincent suddenly held my right hand and pulled me towards him. He grabbed my chin and crashed his lips into mine. I was surprised and tried to push him away but he didn’t let me go. He was still holding my face with his right hand as his other hand started roaming around my whole body. I suddenly felt his hand on my right breast. He started massaging it as his tongue played with mine.

I closed my eyes.

That’s when Monica’s face appeared in my mind again. I suddenly remembered how happy Vincent was while talking to her and that gave me the urge to reach for his hand that was unbuttoning my blouse. I stopped kissing him back and that made him stop too.

He looked at me confusingly. “What’s the matter?”

I buttoned my blouse again. “I-It’s so early in the morning. I have some things to do and by the way, your brother is coming over here to teach me.”

“You mean, Lance? Lance is coming over?”

“Y-Yeah.”

“Can’t he just go next week?”

“Huh? Why?”

He raised his right hand again and began brushing my hair with his fingers. “I want to stay alone with you all day. Inside my room.”

That made me gulp so hard.

Even that idea is tempting me, I shouldn’t agree with him.

I shook my head as I brushed his hand off me. “No, our exams are already next week so I really need to study hard for me to be able to pass.”

“Then let me just teach you.” He insisted.

“No. I prefer Lance because he’s really good at teaching.”

“Fine. Just make sure to end it early, okay?”

I shrugged. “It depends. Anyways, I have to go to the library now. You should eat your breakfast already.”

“Good Morning, my brother!” Lance cooed and gave Vincent a brotherly hug as soon as he entered the mansion.

“You’re going to teach my wife?” Vincent asked him.

Lance glanced at me while smiling. “Yes, their examination will finally start next week so she badly needs to study hard for that.”

“Lance!!” I ran towards them and hugged Lance tightly. I could feel Vincent’s gaze at me.

“Hey there, Sophie. You look wonderful today.”

“T-Thank you… you look handsome today too. I mean, you’re always handsome anyway.”

He laughed. “Oh, Sophie. You’re complimenting me too much that I might believe you already.”

“No, that’s the truth!”

“Are you going to study or you’re just planning to talk to each other here all day?” Vincent suddenly spoked which made Lance and I stop talking.

I looked at Vincent. “Y-Yeah, you’re right.”

“Should we just stay here in the living room or you’d like to study inside the library?” Lance asked me.

“I think we should just go to the library room just so no one could disturb us.” I replied.

“You’re right. Shall we go there now?”

“Y-Yeah.”

We were about to go to the library when Vincent suddenly spoke again. “Can I go there too?”

I glanced at Lance first before I faced Vincent. “Huh? What are you going to do there?”

He shrugged. “I actually feel like reading a book today.”

“But we are going to study there, can you just read inside your room?” I said.

“I’ll read quietly.”

“But—

“Let’s just let him, Sophie. Besides, he already said that he won’t make any noise.”

I smiled secretly. “Alright, I guess I have no choice then.”
