Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“I-I don’t care who you are but all I know is that you can’t just leave a kid crying after hurting her.” I said while maintaining an eye-to-eye contact with the Greek god standing before me with his expressionless face. He looks only as young as me but why is he so tall?

His right brow raised as he looked at me, “So you don’t really know me?”

“I don’t know you, okay? Do I even have to know who you are?”

I don’t even know where did I get that bravery. I just stared at him although my hands were already shaking. His eyes were sharp and I think I could already die with his glare. “You’re quite brave, huh? Well, let’s see where your bravery would take you.”

Without any warning, the man grabbed me by the waist and pressed his lips on mine. My eyes widened and I froze in place. I placed my hands on his chest to push him off but he was so strong that it became useless. He forcefully parted my lips with his tongue and I just found myself closing my eyes as if I was enjoying it. When he finally let go of me, that’s when I realized what just happened. I raised my hand and slapped him on his right cheek. “Y-You bastard! W-Why did you do that?!”

“Thanks for the dessert, see you around some other time.” He said as he turned around and started walking away. I badly wanted to stop him and punch him in the face but my feet just won’t cooperate. I was just looking at him with my mouth open until he finally stepped inside a black limousine together with his men laughing. I balled my hand into a fist as I yelled at the top of my lungs, “YOU PERVERTED ASSHOLE!!”

“Teacher Sophie!” I only stopped cursing that man in my head when Laila suddenly approached me. I knelt down and carried her in my arms.

“I-I’m sorry, Laila. Are you alright?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine, Teacher Sophie.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. That man, the man kissed you a while ago. Is he your boyfriend, teacher Sophie?” Laila innocently asked without even knowing how her question automatically made my face blush.

I wasn’t able to answer quickly. “L-Laila, let’s just go inside already okay? For sure your other classmates are already waiting for us.” I changed the topic.

“Okay…” my ever-obedient student replied.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

I wasn’t able to focus on what I was teaching the whole time because of what happened. Good thing my students didn’t notice that. I rode the bus going home and went straight to my room as soon as I arrived. I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes. Erase that incident in your mind, Sophie. Just pretend that it didn’t happen, okay?

Then I snapped my eyes open. “Did I just… did I just let a stranger kiss me?”

I let a stranger kiss me?!!! How dare him do that to me?!

That was my first kiss… the kiss that I wanted to experience with Mr. Jacobs… Now it’s gone… I already gave my first kiss to a stranger.

I lay down on my bed and hugged one of my pillows as tears began running down my face. “My first kiss… that bastard…”

“Sophie? Are you already there?”

I suddenly heard dad’s voice coming from outside of my room. I hurriedly sat up and wiped my tears away before walking towards my door and opened it. “D-Dad?”

“I’m so glad you’re already here, Sophie. Can we talk for a while?” dad asked.

“Sure dad, have a seat please.” I said as I pulled a chair for him. I sat on the couch and looked at him. “What is it, dad?”

Dad straightened his back before looking at me, “Sophie, there’s actually something that I want you to know. Wait, did you cry?”

“H-Huh? N-No, I didn’t. My eyes just look like this whenever I-I feel sleepy…”

“Y-Yes, dad. By the way, what is it that you want to tell me?”

He heaved a sigh then he looked at me, he seemed to be hesitating for what he was going to say. “Sophie, listen very carefully. I-I think it’s already time for you to get married.”

“W-What? Get married?”

“I know how hard for you to stay in this house, Sophie. Your step siblings treat you like a servant, don’t you get tired with that? Don’t you sometimes wish you could just leave here and be free? I mean, I just want you to be happy, Sophie.”

“Dad, I’m still seventeen and I am still studying. I don’t have any intentions of getting married to someone and I—I don’t even have a boyfriend.”

“I can suggest a man.” He suddenly said which made me look at him.

I furrowed my brows, “D-Dad? You’re really planning to have me get married already? But I don’t want to get married with anyone yet, daddy. I want to finish my studies first, I want to fulfill my dreams, I want to make you proud, a-and I want to marry the man that I really love.”

“But I think—

“Dad, I’m fine, okay? I know you’re just worried about me. Don’t worry, I can do it all, I can serve my siblings, I can study and work at the same time. There’s no need for you to worry about, okay?” I said as I smiled at him. “By the way, would you like me to make some coffee for you?”

“No, I’m fine Sophie. Just take your rest already, I know you’re already tired. By the way, we’ll be having a family dinner tomorrow. You know that restaurant we used to eat at?”

I nodded, “Yes. But, do you we have any occasion tomorrow?”

“Yes, I would like you to meet someone. Make sure you’ll go there after your work, okay?”

“Okay.”

Dad stood up and patted me on my head, “Just always remember that I love you so much, Sophie.”

“I love you so much to, dad.”
