Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Lance’s POV

I gently put Sophie at the backseat of my car. She got so drunk and lose her consciousness afterwards. She was also crying a while ago and I don’t even know the reason why. I just found her near the hotel’s garden and she was crying.

Everybody also went home already and we couldn’t find V either. Sabrina got a call from her mom too so I’ll be the one to bring Sophie home.

I couldn’t help myself from wondering why she got drunk and cried so hard a while ago. I wonder what she saw in the garden that made her like that.

“Young Master Lance.” Vemon welcomed us as soon as I entered Vincent’s mansion while carrying Sophie in my arms.

“May I know where Sophie’s room is?”

“U-Upstairs, Sir.”

I nodded. “I’ll just bring her there.”

“O-Okay, Sir.”

Carrying Sophie in my arms, I went upstairs going to her room while Venom was following us. I lay her down on her bed as I removed her shoes and covered her with a blanket.

“She drunk too much.” I mumbled.

“S-Sir, did something happen to Miss Sophie?” Venom suddenly asked.

“I just found her outside the hotel, crying. And when I asked her why, she just hugged me and told me to take her away from there. We went back to the hotel and she got drunk until she passed out.”

Venom shook her head. “I wonder what happened…”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is V home already?”

“Young Master Vincent is not yet home, Sir.”

“Okay. Then I’ll just look after Sophie while he’s not here yet.”

“I understand, Sir.”

I stood up. “By the way, can you change her clothes first? I’ll just change mine too.”

“Yes, Sir.

Sophie’s POV

I woke up inside my room and I saw Venom sitting beside my bed. Her eyes widened upon seeing me awake. “Miss Sophie!”

“Venom…” I was touching my head as I sat up on the bed.

Then the door went open and Lance came in wearing a black V-neck shirt and pants. He walked towards me and so Venom stood up. “I-I’ll just get some water for you, Miss Sophie.”

“Thank you, Venom.”

When Venom finally left, Lance sat down on the chair beside my bed while looking at me. “I asked Venom to change your clothes.”

“T-Thanks…”

“Sophie.”

“Hmm?”

His brows wrinkled as he spoke. “If you don’t mind, can I ask about the reason why you were crying when I saw you in the garden?”

And that question of him made me remember all that I saw in the garden a while ago. It was still clear to me, I could still remember Vincent and Monica kissing. Tears started to fill my eyes again.

“S-Sophie, why are you crying again?” Lance asked confusingly as he tried to console me.

“Lance…”

He pulled me close to him and hugged me. “Sophie… please tell me why you are crying… please…”

I just cried and cried in Lance’s arms until I finally stopped sobbing. Lance swept away the strands of hair that were covering my face and wiped the tears in my face using his fingers. “I don’t want to see you like this, Sophie, please tell me the reason…”

“I-I saw…I saw Vincent…in the garden of that hotel…”

“You saw him there?”

I nodded. “Y-yeah… a-and he was with Monica…”

Lance’s eyes widened in surprise. “With Monica? B-But what are they doing there?”

“T-They were kissing… I saw them kissing there, Lance…”

“K-Kissing?”

“Yes… It’s still clear to me… they were kissing each other as if there’s no tomorrow…”

Lance pulled me close to him again and hugged me even tighter. “I’m so sorry, Sophie… I didn’t know about that…”

“I love him so much, Lance… I love Vincent so much… I just didn’t realize that he hasn’t moved on from Monica yet… After all this time, after all that we’ve been through, Monica is still the one in his heart….”

“Ssshh… it’s alright, Sophie. It’s alright…” he gently pulled me away from him and started wiping the tears in my eyes.

“Lance, please, can I stay in your house for a while? Can I stay there with you?”

He stared at me for a while. “S-Sure, but are you sure about that? You’re leaving Vincent alone here? Don’t you want to hear him out first?”

“There’s no point of staying here with him anymore. He loves somebody else and I don’t think I can even look at him… I-I just want to stay away from him, please Lance… please take me away from here…”

“Okay… I’ll take you with me if that’s what you want…”

“Thank you… thank you so much…” I muttered.
