Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Good morning, Miss Laurens.”

My eyes widened and the smile on my face vanished as soon as I saw him.

It was him.

Vincent.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Miss Laurens? Is there something wrong?” He asked innocently with a playful smile on his face.

What is he doing here?

“I-I’m sorry but I think you are mistaken. I am waiting for Mr. Dylan Jacobs, not you. Please get out of here.” I said to him.

He just sat on the chair across mine and folded his arms on his chest. “I am Dylan Jacobs.”

“Vincent, I am not playing with you. I have a very important meeting with our biggest investor today so please stop fooling around and get out of here.” I said with gritted teeth.

“Miss Laurens, I am not playing with you too. I am Dylan Jacobs. Your biggest investor.”

I glared at him. “Vincent, I am serious here!!”

“I only use Vincent Hastings as a mafia boss. But when it comes to real business world, I am known as Dylan Jacobs.” He said.

“I don’t believe you.”

He laughed as he stood up. “Then, would you like to ask someone if I’m telling the truth?”

All of a sudden, Vincent grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of the room. He called one of the staff outside.

“You! What’s my name?” He asked the blonde woman near the reception.

The woman then looked at us. “Mr. Dylan Jacobs.”

“How about you?” He asked another one.

“Y-You are Dylan Jacobs, s-sir.”

Then Vincent dragged me back inside the conference room again. “If you still don’t believe me, then try to search Dylan Jacobs on the internet.”

I brushed his hands off me. “L-Let go of me. I-I believe you now…”

He sat on one of the chairs again. He looked at me directly in the eye. “So, shall we proceed to our discussion now?”

I looked away as I sat across him.

What is he doing here?

Why does it have to be him?!

“Miss Sophie?” He asked me again.

And what pisses me off the most is that he was pretending as if nothing happened between us before.

I took a deep breath and looked at him. I was not wearing any emotion on my face as I started speaking about our company and why does he have to invest to us. Although I feel awkward since he keeps on staring at me with that smile on his face.

“Miss Sophie, aside from all the things and pieces of information that you have told me a while ago, can you tell me more things and please, also tell me the reason why I should invest in your company.” He said as he leaned on his chair.

“W-Well, our company is quite famous not only in our country, but also internationally. Our fashion designers and models already competed in many competitions before and we always win.”

He raised an eyebrow. “I see. What else?”

I furrowed my brows at him. “Mr. Jacobs, I already told you everything. What else do you want to know?”

“I’m so glad to see you again.”

My heart skipped a beat as soon as I heard him say that.

“M-Mr. Jacobs, if you don’t need anything anymore, please excuse me.”

I was about to leave the conference room but then he spoke again. “We are not done yet, Miss Laurens. I mean, Mrs. Hastings.”

“I already told you everything that you have to know about our company so I don’t think we still have things to discuss. It’s just up to you whether you’re still going to invest or not.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Vincent suddenly laughed. “You are so bold. You don’t really care if I invest to your company or not?”

“I don’t care. We can just find another investor.”

“Really?”

I looked at him as I stood up. “Really.”

I got surprised when he suddenly started walking towards me. I took some steps back until I was already leaning on the glass wall of the conference room.

“Do you still live at my brother’s house?” He asked.

“Mr. Jacobs I have to—

He put both of his arms on my sides to corner me. He was looking straight into my eyes. “Sophie… I missed you so much…”

My heart started beating so fast as soon as he said that.

He was standing so close to me, looking directly into my eyes and I could already feel my knees getting weak.

But I don’t want him to notice that.

I looked away. “Mr. Jacobs, we are done with our meeting already. Please, move away from me.”

“Didn’t you even miss me? Do you love Lance more than me now?”

“Mr. Jacobs.”

He was staring at my lips as if he wanted to kiss me.

Please don’t.

I thought he was going to kiss me, but instead, he just leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear. “We’re not done yet, Sophie. If you think that I already gave up on you, then you are wrong. I am back, and I will make you mine again.”
