CHAPTER 84: VINCENT AND LANCE
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!!!”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lance fell to the ground. And before he could even stand up, I punched him again.
“What did you say to Sophie, huh?! What did you tell her?!”
“Vincent, I said stop it!! What the hell is wrong with you?!” Mom yelled.
Dad helped Lance stand up. He looked at me with confusion. “What is your problem, V?!”
“What is my problem? You! You are my problem! What did you say to my wife, huh?! Did you tell her to file a divorce? Did you tell her to just leave me and be with you instead?!”
“What are you saying, V?”
“Can you stop fucking pretending?! You’ve been with her for a month and you’re still pretending as if you didn’t do anything? She asked for a divorce from me, who else do you think have said that to her?!”
He shook his head. “I didn’t say anything to her, V. All I did was to be there for her, I even told her to talk to you, I don’t even know that she asked for a divorce.”
“You fucking liar!!! You took advantage of her! You took her in because you want her to rely on you, because you want her to forget about me!”
“Do you even hear what you’re saying right now, V? I never intended on doing that, you know how much I value you as my younger brother. I was always the one who gives way for you, even if I’ll be the one who’ll get hurt in the end, I always do the choice that would favor you!”
“And now you are saying that I owe you something? Lance, you always get what you want! All of the people that I love, all of them chose you! And now that I finally have Sophie, you are going to take her away from me too? Because you always want everything to be on your side, you always want things to favor with you!”
“You don’t owe me anything, Vincent. But I just thought that… I just thought that maybe one day you’ll realize how much I’ve sacrificed for you. I decided to just be a doctor because I wanted you to be the one who will inherit dad’s company. I didn’t confess to Monica because I know you will get hurt, every fucking thing that I did, everything was all because of you, V!”
“Enough of this?! Vincent! What are you doing?! Why did you punch Lance and what the hell are you talking about again?! You came here all of a sudden just to punch your brother? You never really changed!” Mom yelled at me.
I didnt mind her, I looked at Lance instead. “Bring Sophie back to me. Let her go and bring her back to me!”
“She no longer lives in my house.”
“Can’t you just stop fucking lying?!”
“Vincent, I said stop it!!” Mom yelled again.
Finally, I looked at her. “Mom, can you just leave the two of us here for a while? This has nothing to do with you, it’s between me and Lance.”
“You came all the way here to punch your brother in front of us then you’ll ask us to just leave and let you kill each other here? And what are you talking about again, about that woman that you got married with? Vincent, why are you asking that woman from Lance? You are the one who married her, why are you asking Lance?”
“Because your perfect son just stole my wife away from me.” I sarcastically said.
“What?! Is that true, Lance?!”
Lance shook his head. “How many times do I have to tell you that I never stole Sophie from you? You are the one who caused her to be like that. You and your stupid feelings for Monica! You’ve hurt Sophie so much and you’re thinking that she will forgive you so easily? Are you stupid?!”
“You fucking—
“Vincent! Stop!” This time, dad was the one who yelled.
I glared at Lance.
Mom then stood between the two of us and looked at me. “I can’t believe you are going to fight just because of a nonsense woman! You Vincent, you never really changed! You just go here whenever you got some trouble with you!”
“Blame your favorite son. He keeps on acting like the good guy when the truth is, he’s just waiting for his right time.”
“That’s not true, V!”
“You know why people leaves you? Because of your behavior! People leave you because you keep on blaming other people on things that you yourself has done!” Mom yelled.
“Mom, can you just stop interrupting here?! I said this is between me and—
“That is why even your stupid dad left you!”
That made all of us quiet.
“Mom…” Lance whispered.
I clenched my jaw. “That’s right, that is the reason why you never treated me like your own son, right? Because I am just the son of that bastard who raped you! The son you never wanted!”
The sound of my mom’s palm as it hit my face reverberated through the whole mansion.
“Right, that’s why whenever I see you, all I can remember is the face of that monster! That stupid mafia who raped me!”
