Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

I decided to visit my mother Hannah at the graveyard to give her some flowers.

“Mommy… I don’t know what to do anymore… I don’t know who to believe… If you are here you’ll probably tell me the truth… I will only believe you…”

I quickly wiped the tears in my eyes. “How are you now, mommy? I hope you are doing well there in heaven. I love you so much, mom…”

I stayed there for a little bit longer until I finally decided to stand up.

“I will go back here, mommy…”

I was about to finally leave when someone suddenly arrived, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

It was Miss Felestine.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Sophie…”

“M-Miss Felestine.”

She smiled then she walked towards me. She kept down on the ground and put the bouquet on my mom’s grave.

“I would like to thank you, Hannah. I would like to thank you for taking care of my daughter… I’ve been away from her for so long… I almost thought that she already died… If you didn’t take her with you when Natalie tried to get rid of her, I don’t even know what could’ve happened to her… I owe everything to you, Hannah… Thank you so much…” Miss Felestine was crying while staring at my mother’s grave.

I couldn’t stop myself from crying too.

“I finally found her, Hannah. After so many years… I was able to find her…” she mumbled.

Then after a while, Miss Felestine finally stood up and looked at me.

“Why didn’t you leave that house when you already know that your sister will get rid of me once she finds out that you had an affair with her husband? Why did you have an affair with your sister’s husband?” I asked her.

She wiped the tears in her eyes first before taking a deep breath. “I didn’t know that she was going to do that… When I was away from home, I just actually talked to an architect who designed our home, I was about to leave that house of them and take you with me, but then the accident happened. And what happened between me and your father… Albert and I were lovers back then. I met him first, we were so in love back then but then my mother didn’t want me to marry him. Instead, she arranged Natalie and Albert’s marriage. I felt so sad when I found out that they were getting married. I thought I would be able to forget about him and move on, but then one night when I got drunk, Albert saw me and tried to ask me what was wrong. I told him that I still love him. And that night, something happened between us…”

“And you didn’t think about what could happen after that night? You didn’t think about what could happen to the child?”

She shook her head. “My doctor once told me before that it would only be miracle if I get pregnant. I had a problem with my ovary. And so I thought I would not be pregnant, but then you came. I was actually planning to kill myself after that night when I realized what I just did to my sister but then I suddenly found out that I was pregnant. You are the one who saved me, Sophie… The first time that I saw your face, it was as if all my sadness disappeared. You brought me hope, Sophie. You gave me real happiness… and contentment…”

“Then why didn’t you look for me? Why didn’t you go to my parents house?”

“I tried to, but then I couldn’t remember where it was. All I could remember was your face. I just remembered everything when I saw Albert’s face again.”

“Do you even have any idea about what happened to me? Do you have any idea about how Aunt Natalie treated me while I was at their house?!”

“Sophie…”

Tears started streaming down my face again. “They treated me like a maid… Aunt Natalie… She hurts me whenever I do something wrong… She never treated me right! And guess what? I even had to marry someone I don’t love just so I could save their family!….”

Miss Felestine’s eyes widened. “W-What? Y-You are married? B-But why? To whom?”

” I married a mafia boss. Daddy owed him a huge amount of money and because he threatened Daddy that he would kill us if he don’t give me to him, I had to volunteer myself and marry that man.”

“Oh, Sophie… I’m so sorry, Sophie… I’m so sorry…”

“And now, that’s the reason why I had to face all of these things…”

Miss Felestine grabbed me by the arm and pulled me close to her for a hug. “I’m so sorry, Sophie…”
