Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“I would like to thank all those people who cheered me up and those people who helped me have the courage to stand again and discover what I can still do. Thank you for believing me when I can’t even believe in myself. Now, I can finally say that I’m a Felestine model and it’s all because of you.” I said then everyone started clapping again.

Miss Felestine walked towards me with a smile on her face. She was the one holding the trophy. “Congratulations, darling. You truly deserve to be the best model.”

“Thanks to you because I was able to get pieces of advice that helped me to be a better person.”

“I already knew from the start that you have the potential.”

“Thank you so much.”

She gave the trophy to me and we hugged each other then I finally went down and Lance and Sabrina approached me immediately.

“Congratulations to my beautiful best friend and the new Felestine Ambassador!!!” said Sabrina.

Lance handed me a bouquet of red roses. “Congratulations, Sophie.”

I glared at both of them. “You told me you can’t go here. I almost got mad at you. I felt so alone.”

“Come on, why would we even miss seeing your success? We would love to watch you here if course!” said Sabrina.

“We just pretended that we wouldn’t be able to make it to see your reaction.” Lance said while laughing.

I hit his shoulder gently. “You are so rude!”

The three of us decided to just eat somewhere, Lance’s treat after the event.

“Sophie, we are so glad that you finally made it. You are an ambassador of Felestine Enterprises now!” Sabrina kept saying while we were eating.

I smiled. “I am so happy too, I can’t believe that I finally made it here.”

“We are so proud of you.” said Lance.

“Thank you so much.”

“What are you planning to do now?” Sabrina asked again.

I took a deep breath before looking at them. “I’m actually planning on looking for a pad. I no longer want to be a burden to Lance.”

“You know you never became a burden to me.”

“I know that, Lance. But I want to be independent. I want to stand on my own. Of course, I will still meet you. I just want to have something that I can call my own.”

“I understand. I will help you find one.”

“Thank you.” I smiled at him.

We just continue eating then we finally decided to go home since I will finally start working tomorrow. I was busy reading magazines while lying on the couch when Lance appeared and sat on the couch across mine.

“Sophie.”

I sat up properly and put the magazine on the cemter table for a while as I looked at him. “What is it, Lance?”

“I know this isn’t the right time to ask this to you. But, do you have any plans on talking to my brother? I mean, it’s been a month now since the last time that you talked to him. B-But don’t worry, I won’t force you to talk to him if you’re not ready yet.”

I shook my head. “You are right, Lance. It’s been a month already. I should learn how to face my fears, I should learn how to finally talk to him.”

“Sophie…”

“I will talk to him.”

“You don’t need to force yourself. You can just talk to him when you’re fully ready.”

“You don’t have to worry about anything, Lance. I am now ready to face him.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

He still looked so worried so I sat next to him. “Believe me, I can do it. I was able to get what I wanted now. I was able to face all the obstacle and I even doubted myself at first too. But look at me now, I’m the new ambassador of Felestine Enterprises. I can do it, Lance. Especially because I know that you’re always beside me.”

“I trust in you, Sophie. You just have to always remember that no matter what happens, I will always be here for you.”

“I know that.”

After our conversation, we already said goodnight to each other and I went upstairs straight to my room .

I sat on my bed and reached for my phone. I scrolled through it and tried to find the name of the person who I haven’t contacted for a month.

My heart started beating so fast as soon as I saw his name.

With my shaking hands, I dialed his number and called it. I pressed the phone on my ears and waited for him to finally answer it.

“Sophie.”

His deep voice felt like a melody in my ears. I’ve missed him. I’ve missed him so much.

I wasn’t able to speak at first because I could feel the tears filling my eyes again.

“Sophie? Is that you? Why did you call me? Sophie?”

I held back my tears. I wiped the tears in my eyes and pulled myself back together as I spoke. “Meet me at the Golden Tower on friday night.”

“Huh?”

“I will wait for you there at 8 pm.”

“Okay, I will go there. Sophie—

I hang up the phone. I still want to hear his voice but I stopped myself.
