Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Venom, do you think my decision is just right?” I asked Venom while we were drinking wine while watching a movie.

“Miss Sophie?”

I looked at her. “I asked Vincent to file a divorce.”

“You did?”

“Yeah. He got so furious and told me that he loves me. It seems like he will never allow me to divorce him.”

“Do you still love him?” She asked.

I drank more of my wine. “My feelings for him never changed. You know, the moment that I saw him, my heart started beating so fast. I wanted to hug him, kiss him, I wanted to run into him and tell him how much I missed him but I didnt…”

“I understand you, Miss Sophie. If that is the case then I think you really have to think first. Don’t file a divorce yet or you’ll regret in the end. I think you should give boss a chance to prove how much he loves you. If he said that he loves you more than Miss Monica, then I think he is saying the truth. Boss has always been so straightforward, whenever he likes something, he says it. I think he really loves you, Miss Sophie.”

I heaved a deep sigh. “But I don’t want to love him anymore, I don’t want to get hurt anymore…”

“Miss Sophie, getting hurt is part of loving someone. There is no perfect love. Maybe if you give boss a chance, he can prove to you that he’s telling the truth. Then if he can’t, then that’s when you have to decide whether you’ll accept him again or not.”

“I don’t really know what to do anymore, Venom. I still love Vincent but there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to accept him anymore. Because I have a feeling that I’ll get hurt in the end.”

Venom tapped my shoulder. “You can do it, Miss Sophie. You are the strongest person I have ever met.”

“I doubt that. I’m actually the most crybaby that you’ll ever meet.”

“Crying only means that you are strong enough to admit to yourself that you got really hurt.”

“Oh, Venom. I don’t even know what I would do without you. Thank you so much for staying by my side.” I said as I leaned on her

She pat my head. “Ever since boss assigned me to be your bodyguard, I promised to myself that I will stay beside you no matter what happens.”

“Thank you so much, Venom.”

“Want a ride?”

I smiled as soon as I saw Lance.

“Sure as long as I get to have a handsome driver like you.” I said to him.

He stepped out of his car and opened the door for me.

Lance always send me to our company and I think we’re getting closer and closer with each other again.

“Do you have any plans next week?” He suddenly asked me.

“Huh? Next week? Well, I think I’ll have a meeting with the CEO of Georgina Holdings then after that, I don’t have much to do anymore.”

“That’s good to hear. Then maybe we can go out and eat somewhere?”

I stared at him before I spoke. “S-Sure.”

He just smiled and continue driving. I’m just wondering why he suddenly asked me to go out with him. I wonder if there’s something that he wants to tell me.

“V went to our parents’ house yesterday.”

“H-Huh?

He glanced at me. “He was asking me to give you back to him. He was so desperate, Sophie. I think there’s no way he would agree on filing a divorce.”

“I know. I will just let him do what he wants for now. I think I’ll just ask him again when he’s already thinking right. Wait Lance, did Vincent hurt you? What’s that bruise on your face?” I said as I tried to go touch the bruise near his lips but he suddenly looked away.

“I-It’s nothing. It doesn’t hurt anymore–ouch!”

I touched the bruise on his face.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, huh?” I said sarcastically.

“N-No, I already treated it. You don’t have to worry about me, Sophie. I’m alright.”

“Lance, I’m so sorry. Because of me the two of you are already fighting. It’s all my fault. You’re getting hurt because of me…”

He stopped the car and looked at me. “Sophie, I won’t mind getting hurt as long as it’s because of you…”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
