Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

I kept on heaving a sigh while I was on my way to the infirmary. Why does it have to be me? I don’t want to see Lance yet. I don’t want to see his face because I will only remember what I saw the last time. And what if that woman is with him right now?

I took a deep breathe as soon as I reached the infirmary. I walked towards the door and my hands began shaking when I held the doorknob.

Do I really have to give these papers to him?

But I can’t.

What if I just leave it here outside? For sure he’ll see it when he goes out.

Or maybe I’ll just tell our lecturer that Mr. Jacobs is not around.

That’s right, maybe I’ll just—

“Sophie.”

My eyes automatically widened when the door of the infirmary suddenly went open and Lance stepped outside while looking straightly at me. I immediately averted my gaze from him. “M-Mr. Jacobs…”

“It’s nice to see you, Sophie. I was looking for you yesterday but the nurse told me that you already went home. Where have you been, huh? Oh, by the way, let’s talk inside.” He said as he was about to let me in but I shook my head.

“N-No, Mr. Jacobs. We still have classes so I still need to go back to my class immediately.”

“I can make an excuse for you.” He smiled.

Come on, Lance. Don’t you dare smile at me when you just kissed another woman yesterday.

“I’ve already skipped a lot of my classes for so many times already. And besides, I just wanted to hand these papers to you.”

It was obvious that he got surprised by what I just said.

I handed him the papers and he took it from my hand while nodding. “I understand. Maybe we could just hang out some other time. Just make sure to go here whenever you want to see me or when you don’t feel okay.”

“I’m going now.” I said as I started walking away. I could feel the tears filling my eyes again. He’s the last person in the world that I want to treat like this. But I don’t know, I just can’t help it.

“You look so gloomy today.” said Vincent while we were playing chess inside his room.

I looked at him without any emotion on my face. “Huh?”

“Did something happen? Or are you sick?”

“I’m just not feeling well.” I said as I took my turn.

He stared at me for a while before speaking. “Then we shouldn’t continue this game for now. Let’s just continue it some other time.”

I looked at him. “Are you sure?”

Vincent leaned on the couch. “I don’t want to force you when you’re not in the mood to do it. That would be unfair for both of us.”

“A chess champion playing with an amateur is already unfair anyway.”

“No, that’s not. Anyway, can you remember what happened last night when I brought you to your room?”

“I told you, I can’t even remember anything.”

He just shrugged. “You mean even when you kissed me?”

My eyes automatically widened and I looked at him. “W-What did you say?! What did I do?!”

“You kissed me, I mean, you pleaded me to kiss you.”

“A-And why would I even do that?! For sure you were the one who kissed me and took advantage of me!”

“Sophie, how many times do I have to tell you that I don’t want a forced sex? I wasn’t the one who initiated the kiss, it was you. You even asked me to kiss you again when I stopped doing it.”

I could feel my cheeks already burning from shame. “T-That’s impossible. I will never do that.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“But you already did, baby.”

I stood up and looked at him. Then you should have pushed me away and left me alone instead of kissing me back!”

“And why would I do that?”

“If you are a gentleman then that’s what you were supposed to do!”

Vincent stood up too and started walking slowly towards me.

“Well I’m sorry, because I’m definitely not a gentleman.”

“W-What are you doing?” I asked as I continue stepping backwards until my back hit the wall. Vincent cornered me with both of his hands pushed against the wall.

“And if you ever try to get drunk again and kiss me, I assure you that it will never end with just a stupid kiss.” He whispered then he kissed my ear.

I immediately pushed him away. “Y-You pervert!”

He just laughed while looking at me from my head down to my feet. “Looks like you already gained your strength, shall we continue our game of chess?”

“Chess your ass!” I yelled as I walked away from her and slammed the door behind me.

He will never really change. He’s the most perverted man that I have ever seen in my life! I swear I will never get drunk again!
