Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“May I know where are you going, Miss Sophie?” Venom asked me as soon as she saw me getting ready.

I was wearing a simple yellow chiffon dress and my hair was in a bun. I also wore a simple make up. “Lance and I are having a dinner together.”

“R-Really?”

“Yeah, he said he’s going to tell me something important.”

Venom nodded. “I’m so happy that you’re finally having the courage to start again, Miss Sophie.”

“What? Venom, Lance and I are just friends.”

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t be more than that.” She teased me.

I just shook my head while smiling when my phone starte ringing.

“Hello, Lance?”

“I’m already outside, are you ready?”

“Yes, I’ll go there. Just wait for me.”

“Okay.”

Then I hang up the phone. I looked at Venom with a smile on my face. “I’ll go ahead now, okay?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Alright Miss Sophie, take care.”

“See you later.”

Then I finally walked outside. I reached the exit of the condominium and saw Lance waiting for me outside while squinting at his watch.

He was wearing a blue long sleeves shirt paired with a pair of jeans. He really looks like a doctor. He looks so formal and respectable while Vincent always looked so dominant and dark.

“Sophie!” He smiled as soon as he saw me.

“Hi. Have you been waiting here for so long?”

He shook his head. “I won’t mind waiting as long as it’s for you.”

“Lance, I think you’ve been watching some romantic movies these past few days, did you get all those lines from there?”

“Hahaha! Maybe I did?”

We just laughed then we finally stepped inside his car.

“How’s your day?” He asked me.

I put my bag on my lap. “It’s been an arduous but fun day. Miss Felestine and we also went to different company buildings to meet many people but after all of that, Miss Felestine asked me to go to her house. She showed me some old pictures of her… We even cried but we laughed afterwards. It was such a fun day.”

“I’m so glad to hear that from you, Sophie.”

“Yeah…”

There were only few people when we finally arrived at the restaurant. Lance pulled a chair for me.

“Thanks.” I said.

He sat down then called one of the servers then he ordered some food for us. We just talked about some random things while eating.

“Are you happy now because you already found your mom?” Lance suddenly asked me.

“I am. I’m so happy that I was able to finally find her. At least now I can feel that I am not alone. I already have someone to guide me in every choices that I will make. And it’s so nice because we’re just working together.”

He just nodded while smiling. “Actually, Sophie… The reason why I asked you to have dinner with me is because I wanted to tell you something important. I mean, I want to ask you something.”

I put my cudown for a while before looking at me. “What is it?”

I saw heaved a deep sigh before sitting properly on his chair. He looked straight into my eyes as he began speaking. “Sophie, I’m so happy that you finally able to find a job that you love, I am so happy that you were also able to finally know the truth about your real mom. I could see that slowly, your whole identity is being completed. And I want to be a part of your journey. I want to stay beside you no matter what happens.”

I was just listening to him. I could see the sincerity in his eyes as he speak.

“L-Lance…”

“Sophie, can I be a part of your life? Can you be my girlfriend?” Lance suddenly asked while looking straight into my eyes.

I already knew this is where it was going but I still got surprised.

“L-Lance….”

He suddenly reached for my hand. “Sophie, all my life I’ve always been ignoring my feelings for the person I love just so I could save my younger brother. All my life, I didn’t have the bravery to confess my real feelings. But this time, it’s different. I don’t want to be a coward anymore, I love you, Sophie. I’ve always loved you. Ever since the day that we met, I already fell in love with you.”

Tears started filling my eyes.

“Please, Sophie. Give me a chance and I will prove to you how much I love you. I will prove that I am deserving for your love. Just give me a chance…”
