Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“The breakfast is already served, let’s eat now!” I merrily said as soon as I was done preparing our food on the table. They were already sitting at the table without any emotion on their faces. “What’s the matter? Why do you all look so sad?”

“Are you really going there, Sophie? I mean, can’t you just stay here?” Seb said to me.

“Are you crazy, Sebastian? Do you want that man to kill us all?!” Aunt Natalie retorted.

I heaved a sigh. “Aunt Natalie’s right, Seb. That guy is powerful, I think he’ll really do what he said. I don’t want you to get hurt.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Come on, don’t be such a pretender now Sophie. We all know you were so happy when she chose you. That man is freaking hot and super handsome, who wouldn’t want to go with him?!” Samantha suddenly said.

“She’s right! For sure you’re so happy now because you wouldn’t have to wash the dishes, prepare our food and clean our rooms anymore!” Sera added.

“That’s not true, Sera, Samantha. I’ll never want to go with that man. I just don’t have any choice…”

Samantha rolled her eyes. “Just say it and don’t pretend, we won’t be fooled by your innocent façade. Pretending to be so innocent and doesn’t care about hot and good-looking guys when the fact is, you’re such a flirt!”

“Can you just stop being so insecure with Sophie?! She’s going to be taken away with a bad guy, okay?! She could be killed, she could be raped, that man obviously has no soul and for sure he’s going to hurt Sophie and yet you’re still complaining about how lucky she is?! Is that really how dumb and insecure you are, huh?!!” Seb suddenly blurted out so I held his hand just so he would calm down but he brushed it off and looked at me. “This is all dad’s fault, how can you even sell your own daughter to that mafia leader?!”

“Sebastian, stop talking like that to your father!” said Aunt Natalie.

“Enough now! Stop fighting in front of our breakfast, okay?! It’s Sophie’s last day here so why don’t you just at least show her some gratitude for serving you for so many years!” dad yelled. “I know it’s my fault, okay? But what can I do? We can’t do anything about it anyway, we can’t just let that man steal the company.” Dad lowered his head. “I didn’t want this to happen, okay? And don’t worry Sophie, once I finally get to pay my debt, I’ll take you back from that man, I promise.”

I reached for dad’s hand. “I’ll hang on that promise, dad. I’ll wait for you.”

“I’m sorry, Sophie…”

After eating breakfast, I finally started packing my things. Tears kept on running down my face while I was getting ready to leave. I looked around my room and remembered how long I’ve been staying in this house. I already made so many memories in this room, in this house, and with the people inside it. I can’t believe I’ll have to leave it someday when I lived my whole life here. “Miss Sophie…”

I quickly wiped the tears in my eyes when someone suddenly knocked on my door. I fixed myself and put all my clothe inside my bag before I stood up to open the door. I was surprised to see our maids standing by the door while crying. “W-What are you guys doing here?”

“Miss Sophie… we already know the truth. You’re going to leave us already, right?” Patricia asked, she’s the youngest maid in our house, the one I’m also closest to.

I averted my gaze to hide my eyes that was being filled with tears again. “I-I need to leave for now. B-But don’t worry I will come back when everything turns well. I promise I will come back, and I will visit you here more often too.”

“Miss Sophie, we’re going to really miss you.” Jaycel added while crying. I wiped the tears in her eyes and hugged her.

“I will miss you all too, I’ll surely miss you all…”

I have been so close with all of our household staff here in the mansion. I’ve been with them more than I have been with my stepsiblings that’s why they are really important to me.

“Take care of yourself there, Miss Sophie. Promise us, please…”

“I promise. I will take care of myself and so you have to take care of yourselves too, okay? And also, please take care of them, especially Seb and dad. I won’t be able to stay here with them anymore so please do that as a favor from me.”

They all nodded. “Yes, Miss Sophie, we’ll take care of them for you.”

“Thank you…”

We hugged each other one more time and we cried our hearts out before they were finally called by Aunt Natalie. “Sophie…”

“Dad…”

Dad walked towards me and embraced me in his arms. “I’m really sorry, Sophie. Please forgive me…”

“Dad… I already told you that I’m just alright. You don’t have to say sorry, okay? Just take care of yourself. I’ll be okay.”

“Oh, my daughter Sophie…”

“I love you so much, dad…”

“Hey Sophie, the man’s already here.” Aunt Natalie suddenly said so dad and I moved away from each other.

I looked at dad. “I’ll be going now, dad.”

“Take care of yourself, Sophie. I’ll take you back, just wait for daddy, okay?”

I just nodded with tears filling my eyes. “I will.”

I turned around and walked outside my room carrying my bag with me. As soon as I stepped outside the mansion, I saw so many men in black suit standing by our doorway while looking at me. Two of them walked towards me and took my bag. “Please get inside the car, Miss Sophie. Boss is already waiting for you inside.”

“O-Okay…”

I was about to get inside the black limousine when Seb suddenly called me. “Sophie! Sophie wait!”

“Seb…”

He ran towards me and we embraced each other. “I will miss you, Sophie…”

“I will miss you too, Seb… Take care of yourself, okay? I will visit here some other time…”

“I’ll take you back, Sophie. I’ll take you back from that bastard, I promise you. Just wait for me, Sophie. I’ll work hard…”

I moved away from him and kissed him on his forehead. “You are the best sibling I could ever have. You are the only one who treated me like a real part of your family… I will miss you, Seb…”

“Me too, Sophie… me too…”

“What the fuck are you still doing there? Can you stop that damn drama and get inside this damn car?!” the man suddenly opened the door of the limo and yelled at us. “Get inside now, woman!”

I looked at Seb once more. “Goodbye, Seb…”
