Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POVContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Lance looked alternately at me and Vincent. His brows were furrowed. “V, what are you doing at my student’s house?”

“Student?”

“Yes, Sophie is my student. She studies in the school where I work as a doctor.”

Vincent looked at me so I averted my gaze.

My heart keeps on beating so fast.

Why did I even allow Lance to go here?

“She’s my wife.” Vincent suddenly said.

Lance’s eyes widened. “W-Wife? A-Are you kidding me? Sophie is still young.”

“She’s my wife, you can even ask it to her.” Vincent said then he looked at me.

I bit my lower lip as I tried to find the right words to say. Lance looked at me. “Is that true, Sophie?”

“Y-Yes…” I almost mumbled.

Lance’s mouth went agape.

Of course he would be shock after knowing that his younger brother is already married to his student.

I waited for him to get mad at me and say something bad but instead, a smile appeared on his face. “You two are so unfair, why didn’t you even invite me to your wedding? I should’ve been your best man!” he said while tapping Vincent’s shoulders.

“Because I know that there are more important things that you are doing.” Said Vincent.

“But you are the most important person to me! Looks like you already forgot your older brother now, huh?”

I was just looking at both of them. And that’s when I found out that they really resemble each other. At first, I thought that they look far from each other but I was wrong. It cannot be denied that they are siblings.

“Can I come in to your house?” Lance suddenly asked while smiling at me.

I looked at Vincent and he just nodded at his brother. “Let’s all have dinner together.”

“H-Huh?”

They both looked at me, confused about how I just reacted. I shook my head and forced a smile on my face. “N-Nothing. L-Let’s go inside?”

“By the way, Sophie. You left your phone inside my car.” Lance said then he handed me my phone.

“Thank you.”

Vincent’s POV

“It’s been really a long time since the last time we saw each other, V. I often go to your pad but someone told me that you already moved out. I even thought that you already flew to Australia.” Lance said while we were eating our dinner.

Lance is my older brother. We’ve been so close to each other when we were just kids and I respect him so much. He’s the only who’s been so good to me in our family that is why I respect and look up to him more than I do to my father.

“So, you are the one who teaches my wife how to play chess, huh?” I said.

I glanced at Sophie and she almost choke but Lance immediately handed her some water.

So basically, Lance is the man that Sophie admires.

“Oh, so you are the reason why she asked me to teach her how to play chess?” Lance said.

“Yes. And she never wins against me.”

“That’s because you are a professional chess player.” Sophie almost mumbled.

I looked at her. “But my brother is way better than me when it comes to playing chess.”

“Well, not anymore because I’ve been so busy with my job too. I think you can already defeat me when we try to play now.”

“That’s not true.”

Lance is way better than me in everything. He’s more kind, responsible, smart, and talented. That’s also the reason why he is the favorite child. But despite being favored the most, he never treated me as someone who is inferior to him. He was always the one who defends me from our parents.

“By the way V, how have you been now? I mean, aside from being married to my favorite student, what do you do for a living?” he suddenly asked.

I drunk some of my wine before speaking. “I’m a mafia boss and a CEO.”

“Oh, I see. I’m so glad that you finally found something that would make you happy.”

“How about you? Do you still have a connection with our parents?” I asked him.

“Yes, I always go to their house whenever I have time. Actually, why don’t we go there together some other time? For sure dad would love that.”

“But mom won’t.” I replied which stopped him from speaking for a while.

He heaved a sigh. “By the way, I have something to tell you, V.”

Sophie suddenly stood up. “E-Excuse me… I’ll just go upstairs for a while… L-Lance, please enjoy yourself.”

I followed her with my eyes until she finally disappeared with her flushed face.

“What is it that you’re going to tell me?” I asked Lance.

He looked straight at me. “I know you may not care about it anymore but she already came back.”

“What? Who?”

“Monica.”

The moment that she mentioned that name, my heart started beating so fast. The name that I haven’t heard for five years. The name that I already wanted to forget.
