Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Vincent’s POV

“You look incredibly beautiful,” I whispered in Sophie’s ears while we were walking down the stairs at the start of the party.

She didn’t respond. She tried to brush my hand off her but I kept on pulling her back.

“You should smile, Sophie.” I whispered to her.

“And what if I don’t want to smile?”

I looked at her. “Haven’t you still forgotten about that?”

“Forgotten about what? Why, what did you do? Have you done something wrong for me to get mad at you?” she asked sarcastically.

“This is not the right time for us to argue, Sophie.”

She looked at me annoyingly. “Then what time is it? Time to flirt with your first love? Then go ahead, flirt with her all you want and I won’t even care.”

“What? Soph—

She brushed my hand off her and left me there.

She hasn’t forgotten about that yet even though I already prepared this fucking party for her. I was about to follow her but then my phone started ringing. “Vincent Hastings.”

“Sir, we already prepared everything. Can you come over here Sir so that you can check whether you’re already satisfied with it or we still need to do something?”

“Sure, I’ll go there now.”

I glanced once more at Sophie before I finally went outside to the garden. I actually prepared a simple candlelight dinner for her since Monica suggested me to do that too. Yes, I already told Monica about my feelings for Sophie. And she said she’ll help me to lessen Sophie’s anger towards me.

“What do you think, Sir?”

I looked around the garden of the hotel to see if everything’s alright already. I nodded to them as I felt satisfied. I put a bouquet of flowers on the table because I was planning to give that to Sophie later. I’m not so sure if she’ll like it, but I hope so. She hasn’t been talking to me for weeks now and I just can’t stand that.

“You may now go,” I said to the hotel staffs that I assigned.

“Thank you, Sir.”

And now, all I have to do is to call her.

Why do I feel nervous? What the hell.

I took a deep breath, then I reached for my phone inside my pocket. Instead of calling her, I just decided to text her.

‘Go outside.’

After texting her those words, I put my phone inside my pocket again and prepared myself for her. I’ve been waiting for this day to come.

I wonder if she was able to read my message already.

I’ll just wait for her.

I was just sitting on a chair while waiting for Sophie to finally arrive when I suddenly heard someone’s footsteps coming in my direction. I stood up and stared at the entrance of the garden. My heart keeps on beating fast as I waited for her to show up.

This is the very first time that I feel so nervous like this.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I kept on heaving sigh when I suddenly saw Monica walking towards me with a smile on her face. I glanced behind her to see if she’s with Sophie but she was alone.

“Hey.” I greeted her.

“Is this the surprise that you prepared for Sophie?”

I nodded. “Yeah.”

She looked around while nodding. “It’s beautiful.”

“Thanks.”

Monica suddenly looked at me. I was surprised when she suddenly reached for my necktie.

“W-What are you trying to do?” I asked her.

“I am just fixing your tie.”

I just let her do that. I’m still so glad that Monica stayed the same. She’s still as kind as the girl she was before.

Then later on, we heard footsteps again and this time, I know that was Sophie.

I was about to tell Monica to leave already but then instead of doing that, Monica suddenly grabbed me by the necktie and started kissing me.
