Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

SOPHIE’S POV

“I’m so sorry I’m late, Sophie. I just encountered a noisy woman on my way here.” Lance said to me as soon as he sat on the chair in front of me.

“Noisy woman?”

“Yes. Anyway, I don’t want to talk about that stranger anymore. Wait, did you just cry?”

I wiped the tears from my eyes. “I just cried because I am so happy.”

“May I know the reason? Is it because your wedding is already next week?”

“That’s one of the reasons. But Vincent just told me that his father is going to attend our wedding next week.” I said while smiling at him.

“Really? That’s cool then! For sure, V’s going to be so happy.”

“I know he already is. I know he got so surprised, but I’m sure that he’s so happy right now. Especially now that he finally found his real father.”

“That’s right. I’m so happy for him, too.”

Lance and I just talked about some random things while eating that we lost track of time. He also sent me home.

“Thank you for sending me home, Lance,” I said to him when we were finally standing in front of my mom’s house.

“No worries.”

I smile at him. “Bye, take care.”

“Sophie.”

“Huh?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I was just looking at him. Waiting for him to speak until he suddenly leaned closer to me and hugged me.

“Lance…”

“I just want to say goodbye to my longest unrequited love. Thank you for everything and I promise to be the best brother-in-law for you.” he moved away from me and put his hands on my shoulder. “From now on, I’ll treat you as my younger sister.”

I smiled at him. “Thank you so much for everything, too, Lance. Thank you for always being there for me and Vincent.”

“Alright, you should go inside now. Your husband might punch me if he ever finds out that I sent you home so late.”

“Take care, Lance.”

“I will. Don’t forget to call your husband before you go to sleep.”

I just nodded, then I smiled. I waited for Lance to finally leave before I stepped inside our house. My mom was already asleep, so I just came inside her room to kiss her forehead. Then I proceeded to my room where Venom was lying on the bed while reading a book.

“Why are you still awake?” I asked her as I sat on the bed.

“I’m waiting for you, Miss Sophie.”

“You don’t have to do that, Venom.”

She shook her head. “I wanted to. You are already going to marry boss next week so that means we wouldn’t be able to sleep together anymore. I just want to cherish the moments that we’re still together.”

“Oh, Venom. You really are the sweetest sister I could ever have. Thank you so much for staying with me, Venom. I will definitely miss our late-night snacks and talks. But you know, mom already said that you’re staying with her until you finally get married too. And you know, I could always go here and sleepover even if I’m already living with Vincent. You will always be my older sister.”

“I am so happy for you, Miss Sophie. You deserve all the things that you have right now. You have been through a lot, and I am so delighted to finally see you like this.”

I smiled at her, then we hugged each other. We talked about some other things before finally going to sleep.

I still can’t believe that I’m getting married to Vincent again next week.

We’ve been through a lot, we almost got divorced, and I almost hated him forever. But oh well, in the end, he’s still the man that I love.

I also talked to Monica this morning, and she just congratulated me. She even said that she was going to our wedding.

I can’t wait to finally marry Vincent again. I can’t wait to build our own family and live together until we grow old.
