Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Dad, do you know her? Do you know Miss Felestine?” I kept on asking my dad but he wasn’t even saying a thing.

I looked at Miss Felestine and I saw tears filling her eyes. “Albert… How can you do this to me? I thought you already died…”

“D-Died?” I asked confusingly.

“Anna… W-What—

Miss Festine suddenly looked at me. Tears started cascading down her cheeks as she walked towards me. “Is she… Is she m-my daughter?”

My eyes widened. “D-Daughter? D-Dad, what does she mean by that? P-Please, tell me what’s happening, daddy!” I yelled as tears started streaming down my face too.

“Sophie….”

“A-Anna, s-she’s your mother…”

My mouth went agape. “B-But how did that… I know my mom’s face! I even have a photo of her!!”

“That is not your mom, Sophie…”

“W-What?”

“Y-Your mom is Felestine…. She is your Aunt Natalie’s sister. W-We had an affair before and you are our daughter. Upon knowing that she was pregnant, we immediately made a way to hide you from my family. But then when you were finally born, Natalie found out about it. One day, when your mother was away, Natalie took you from your bedroom and decided to just put you somewhere else. She thought she would be able to get rid of you, but then she didn’t notice that one of our maids was following her, and that was your mother. The mother who took care of you until you grew up.”

I shook my head. Tears kept on running down my face. “N-No, that’s not true, daddy… N-No….”

“Sophie… my daughter…” Miss Felestine whispered to touch me but I moved away from her.

“You all fooled me… You made me believe to something that is not true. All my damn life I thought Hannah was my mom! She was the one who took care of me! She is my mom!”

“I’m so sorry, Sophie… I’m so sorry… I was so excited that time… You don’t know how happy I was when you were born… You are the only precious thing that I have… B-But then… But then when I was driving home… I felt that there was something wrong with my car’s brake… I wasn’t even able to see you again after that, Sophie… I was comatosed for three months and when I woke up I couldn’t remember anything anymore…”

I looked at my dad. “Why didn’t you tell me about this, dad? All my life…. all my life I saw you as the most perfect dad that I know, I loved you so much… I thought we were so honest with each other but then… w-why did you do this to me, Daddy?!!”

“I’m so sorry, Sophie… I’m so sorry…”

I looked at Miss Felestine. “And you, why didn’t you even look for me? I was away with you all this time but you didn’t even look for me? You didn’t even care to look for your own daughter when you already have all your sources?!”

“Sophie…. Albert’s family didn’t even allow me to see you… They keep on hiding you from me… I don’t even know how they did that but I kept on searching for you… I kept on looking for you, Sophie…”

I shook my head. “I don’t know who to believe anymore… I hate all of you…. I hate all of you!!!! You are all liars!! ”

I walked away while wiping the tears in my eyes.

“Venom!!!”

As soon as I saw Venom walking towards me, I quickly ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

“Miss Sophie… W-Why are you crying?”

I hugged her even tightly. I cried and cried while Venom was just trying to console me.

She brought my car and she drove us home while I was still crying at the backseat.

“Miss Sophie, here’s some water.” Venom said then she handed me a glass of water.

I quickly drank some water.

Venom sat next to me on the couch and looked at me. “Do you want to take a rest now? Miss Sophie?”

“Miss Felestine is my real mother.”

“Or you can–M-Miss Sophie?”

I looked at her. “Dad, Seb and I were about to meet her a while ago but then as soon as they saw each other, they were able to recognize each other. Then they told me about the truth.”

“Your mother is Miss Felestine? But, how about that woman… The maid who—

“She just took me in when Aunt Natalie tried to get rid of me.”

“Miss Sophie…”

“Venom… All my life… All my life I believed them… And now, I suddenly found out that Miss Felestine is my mother… I don’t even know if I’ll believe them again…”

Venom suddenly hugged me. “It’s alright, Miss Sophie…”

“My daddy, he’s the person that I trusted the most, how can he lie to me?”

“Do you hate him now?”

“I hate him so much… I hate him for lying to me….”

“How about Miss Felestine? Do you hate her too?”

I wasn’t able to speak.

“I don’t know…”

Then my phone started ringing. It was from Miss Felestine.

“Don’t you want to answer it?” Asked Venom.

“I feel scared, Venom… I don’t want to talk to her right now…”

Then after few minutes, the ringing suddenly stopped. Miss Felestine just left a message.

‘Sophie, please let me talk to you tomorrow. Meet me at my office. Please…’

Venom suddenly pat my shoulders. “Miss Sophie, I can go with you there.”

“Thank you so much, Venom. But I think I will just go there alone. I want to ask her so many things. I want to tell her so many things…”

“You can do it, Miss Sophie…”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
