Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

After Lance and I danced, I also asked him to dance with Sabrina because she’s alone. They went to the dance hall while I was just sitting at our table.

I almost fell from my chair when my phone suddenly rang. I reached for it inside my purse and I saw Vincent’s name on my screen. I looked around to see if he was there but I wasn’t able to see him because of the dim lights.

Why is he texting me when he can just go here and talk to me?

I opened his message.

‘Go outside.’

My brows wrinkled. Go outside? And what would I be doing outside?

I didn’t want to go out but the curiosity is killing me so I stood up and walked out of the venue. I looked around but Vincent wasn’t there so I decided to go to the garden instead. The hotel was huge and even the outside and the way to the garden was filled with lighted pathways which made it look romantic. There were also petals of red roses on the ground, tracing my way to the garden.

I don’t even know why but I suddenly felt nervous and excited at the same time. Excited and nervous about what awaits me at the end of the pathway.

When I was at the entrance of the garden, I suddenly heard the sound of the violin being played inside.

I could already imagine Vincent wearing a tuxedo while holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand. He would wait for me inside the garden and smile when he sees me.

Fine, I’m ready to forgive him if that happens.

With my heart beating so fast, I stepped inside the garden. I saw a round table in the middle near to a fountain and there were two chairs. The whole garden was illuminated by lights and it looked so romantic that it made my heart beat even faster.

Then my eyes landed on a pavilion. It was surrounded by flowers and lights and the moon above made it look even more aesthetic. But that’s not what caught my eye.

I saw Vincent standing there.

He was wearing the black tuxedo that he was wearing a while ago and he looked exactly as what I imagined. Except from one thing.

He was with Monica. And they were kissing each other passionately as if there was no tomorrow.

I stood up there, frozen. I was just staring at the two of them while I could already feel the tears filling my eyes.

So this is why he asked me to go here? He wants me to see how happy he is with Monica?

Tears started streaming down my face one by one. My whole body felt numb and I wanted to cry out loud, scream on their faces, and hurt both of them but I can’t. I just stood there and watched them wreck my whole world.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sophie!”

I just heard Lance’s voice from behind me. I turned around and looked at him. “Lance…”

“W-Why are you crying? Why are you here? What happened?”

Instead of answering him, I ran into him and hugged him tightly while I was crying so hard.

“Sophie… why… why are you crying?”

“I want to leave here…I don’t want to be here anymore Lance…. Please take me away from here… I don’t want to stay here anymore…”

He patted my back to console. “I understand. Let’s go now, Sophie…”
