Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Come on, Sophie. Just go inside already!” Sabrina kept on pushing me towards the infirmary.

She suggested Lance as the person who could help us with our plan and I think I regret agreeing with her now.

Venom and I left the mansion early in the morning just so Vincent wouldn’t see me. He was even trying to call me but I didn’t answer any of his calls and I’m just planning to tell him that I was in our class when he called.

I’m still mad at him. I’m so mad at him.

“S-Sab, I feel so nervous! Can we just look for someone else?”

“There’s no one who can help us except from Mr. Jacobs!”

“But Sab…”

She suddenly looked at me suspiciously. “Sophie, can you be honest with me?”

“H-Huh?”

“You haven’t really moved on from Mr. Jacobs, have you?”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“W-What?! Of course, I did! I already told you that, after all that happened between me and Vincent, I finally learned to love him too, and I finally learned to let go of my feelings with Lance. Besides, he already has Monica too.”

“Then why are you hesitating to ask him a favor?”

“Because Vincent is his brother. Do you really think he would agree on plotting a plan to his brother? He might even get mad at me.”

Sabrina didn’t speak for a while. “Oh well, he can help you because it’s his girlfriend who’s been flirting with your husband!”

“But Sab—

“Come on, Sophie! Just go inside that damn room!” she kept on pushing me while I was stopping her. We just kept on arguing like that when all of a sudden, the door of the infirmary went open.

“S-Sophie and Sabrina? What are you guys doing there?”

Both of our eyes widened as soon as we saw Lance walked out of the infirmary. He was looking at us confused. Then I glanced at Sabrina before I finally looked at Lance. “Er… a-actually, we… er… Sabrina and I…”

“What is it?”

“I…actually—

“She wants to ask a favor from you, Mr. Jacobs.” Sabrina blurted out which made me glare at her.

Lance’s brows furrowed. “Favor? Sure, what is it that you would like to ask from me?”

I bit my lower lip. “C-Can we talk about it inside the infirmary?”

“Huh? Sure. You may come inside.”

“I’ll go outside for a while, okay? I’ll just wait for you at the garden. Just don’t you dare not tell Mr. Jacobs about our plan or you’re really dead.” Sabrina whispered in my ears before she finally started walking out of the infirmary.

Lance and I followed her with our eyes until she finally closed the door. Lance then looked at me with a smile on his face. “May I know what favor are you going to ask me? Oh, and by the way, thank you for not hesitating to go here and ask that favor from me. At least I know that you trust me.”

“Of course, I trust you. It’s just that… I don’t know how to say it b-because it’s kind of embarrassing…”

“Embarrassing? What is it? You know Sophie, you can ask anything from me. Really, I won’t even mind it.”

I gulped.

You can do it, Sophie.

You can trust him; you can trust Lance.

“You can say if you don’t like the idea, okay?”

“Sure.”

I took a deep breath before I looked at him again. “Actually, I know for a fact that Vincent’s first love is Monica. And I know how much close they are, I can see it. I can see how happy Vincent is whenever he’s with Monica. He even smiles wider whenever he’s with her than when he’s with me and—

“You feel jealous?” he suddenly said.

I looked at him but then I immediately looked away with my blushing face. “I-I can’t help it… I’m jealous of how Vincent takes care of Monica, I am jealous of how Monica can make him smile without even doing anything. I can even say that maybe if Vincent has to choose between me and Monica, he’ll definitely choose Monica over me…”

“That’s not true, Sophie. Vincent wouldn’t even marry you if he doesn’t love you.”

“Lance.”

“Huh?”

“Can I say something to you?”
