Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

I took a deep breath before finally looking into Vincent’s eyes. “I want a divorce.”

His mouth went agape. He blinked, obviously trying to make sure if he heard it right. “W-What? C-Can you repeat it? I’m sorry, I don’t think I’ve heard it right.”

“I want a divorce, Vincent.” I repeated, I tried very hard for my voice not to crack. “For one month, I have thought of it deeply. I think it’s time for us to finally let go of a relationship that never really existed.”

I stared at him. I was waiting for him to speak.

“Sophie, I can explain it all to you. About what you saw in the garden, Monica just forced me to kiss her, but I didn’t kiss her, believe me.”

“No, Vincent. It’s not about that anymore. I have realized that there are still things that I want to do. There are some things that I still want to experience and discover in myself.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“And filing a divorce would help?” He asked, he sounded as if I was being unfair.

I sat on my chair properly. “This marriage is not real after all. You just forced me to marry you. In the first place, it was fake. I didn’t marry you because I love you, and same thing goes to you too.”

“You said you love me.”

“That’s not enough.”

“Tell me, you’re still in love with my brother, right?”

My brows furrowed. “Vincent, listen to me. This isn’t about anyone. I just think that this won’t work anymore. I want a divorce, that’s all that I want to ask from you. I know you have been waiting for this day to come too.”

Vincent suddenly stood up and tapped the table. “You are not going to file a divorce, Sophie. You are still my wife and that’s final. I don’t care if you don’t go back to my house, you’ll stay as my wife.”

“Please, Vincent. Don’t make it hard for the two of us…”

“Why are you leaving me? You said you love me before, right? Then why are you doing this to me, Sophie?!!”

Tears started filling my eyes. “Why am I doing this to you? Are you serious? You are asking me that? Don’t you think you’re the one who should be asking that to yourself? Vincent, all I did was to love you, all I did was to get your attention, but what did I get in return? rejection? Heartbreak? I’m already tired, I want to find myself and I want to let go of things that has been hurting me for so long!”

“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t love Monica anymore? Sophie, you are the one that I love. You are the one that I want!”

Tears started streaming down my face. That was the very first time that he said those words to me. I looked at him with my tear-stained face. “Vincent, why are you telling me that now? Why didn’t you tell it to me when I was still on your side?…” I almost whispered.

“Sophie… Please, don’t leave me. Don’t do this to me.”

“I’m already tired, Vincent…”

He suddenly grabbed me by the hand and hugged me tight. “Please, don’t do this to me, Sophie. I will go crazy if you leave me.”

“But you are okay now. I was out of your life for a month and look at you, you’re still as handsome as before.”

“Sophie…”

“I have to leave now, Vincent.”

He held me even tighter. “You will remain as my wife, Sophie.”

“I have to leave now, I’m sorry.”

I pushed him away from me then I took my purse with me before finally leaving. I even heard him call my name but I didnt listen to him anymore.

Tears were still running down my face while I was inside the elevator.

Why is he always hurting me?

I really hate him…

I kept on wiping my tears but it just won’t stop. Tears kept on cascading down my cheeks that it made my vision blurr.

When the elevator opened, someone suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him. He hugged me tight.

“W-Who–

“You can cry all you want. Cry it all out, Sophie.”

And because of what he said, I burst into tears again.

“Lance….”
