Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

SOPHIE’S POV

“Venom, will you accompany me to the ball tomorrow?” I asked Venom as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a half bath before going to sleep.

Venom looked at me. “Of course, Miss Sophie. Your mother will also announce that you are her long-lost daughter tomorrow, right?”

“Well… yeah. I feel so nervous about that. Then there is that man again…”

“That man?”

I heaved a sigh. “Vincent.”

“Boss will go there too?”

“Uh-huh. And I think he’s planning something.”

“He will finally know that you already found your real mother.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I sat on the bed. “As if he cares about that.”

“Of course, Miss Sophie. He cares about you.”

I looked away and just reached for my hair brush. “You know what? Lance saved me again today. Vincent tried to force me to go back to him again, good thing Lance came, and he pretended to be my boyfriend.”

Venom’s eyes widened. “He pretended to be your boyfriend?”

“Yes, I was surprised too.”

“For sure, boss would get even mad.”

“He was. He got so mad when he saw Lance, especially when I said that his brother is my boyfriend. He even punched him in the face.”

Venom’s eyes widened. “Oh my god…”

“I feel sorry for Lance. I already rejected him, but he’s still there for me. He’s so kind. I don’t deserve him.”

“He just loves you so much.”

I sighed. “And that’s what makes me sad the most. I don’t want to hurt Lance, but I don’t want to give him false hopes either.”

“I understand you, Miss Sophie. And I think Sir Lance also understands that, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

We went silent for a while, but then Venom spoke again. “How about boss, Miss Sophie.”

“W-What about him?”

“What are you going to do with him? Are you just going to push him away forever? Do you really want to get rid of him already?”

That particular question made me silent.

Vincent’s POV

“Damn, Lance. He said that he doesn’t like Sophie and has no plan to take her away from me, but he always appears whenever I find the right time to corner Sophie. Why does he keep on acting like a superhero in front of Sophie?! And how dare he tell me that Sophie’s no longer my wife?!”

I balled my hands into a fist and hit the steering wheel of my car.

“Her boyfriend is Lance, huh? So, that perfect big brother of mine finally stole my wife again from me. And does he think he can get my wife just like that?!”

I started the engine of my car and drove off to our base. I walked straight into the shooting range where my assistant, Joe, handed me the headphone and safety glasses. He already knows what I came here for.

“What happened, boss?” Joe asked me.

“Lance came into the picture again. I don’t think he has a plan of staying away from my wife. He keeps on sticking around because he knows that Sophie is still mad at me.” I stood in position while holding the pistol in my hand.

I looked straight to the target.

“Sophie is mine, I will never ever let her be with anyone else.”

Then the sound of the gunshot reverberated through the whole range. Whenever a target gets shot, another one appears. I just kept on shooting with Lance and Sophie in my mind.

“Wow! You were able to shoot all the targets, boss!!” said Joe.

I know that Sophie still wants me after all this time. I know that even if she shows me a cold face every single time, she’s still craving for my touch, for my presence.

I removed my safety glasses and headphone. “Prepare the private jet for me. Sophie and I will go to the private island tomorrow.”

“Yes, boss.”

If I can’t take Sophie by a good conversation, I’ll take her by force if that’s what she wants.
