Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

SOPHIE’S POV

“Sophie, are you sure about this? Don’t you want me to accompany you there?” Vincent asked me as soon as we finally arrived in front of Miss Felestine’s house.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I nodded my head. “I can do this by myself, Vincent. You still have to talk to your parents and your brother, remember?”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, I am.”

“Alright, I love you.”

“I love you more.”

We kissed each other before I finally stepped out of his car.

I took a deep breath as I started walking inside Miss Felestine’s mansion. The maids and butler greeted me.

“May I know where Miss Felestine is?” I asked one of the butlers.

“She’s inside her office upstairs, Miss Sophie. I can take you there. Please, follow me.”

“Okay.”

And as he told me, I just followed him until we reached Miss Felestine’s office. I had to take a deep breath a few times before I finally had the courage to open the door.

“M-Miss Felestine…”

She was busy talking to someone over the phone, but then she immediately turned around and looked at me.

“S-Sophie?!”

“Miss Felestine…”

“Sophie!!!”

She immediately ran towards me and hugged me tightly. “Oh my God…. Thank you so much you’re finally here… Oh my God…”

When we finally moved away from each other, she looked at me. “What happened? Are you okay? Did Vincent hurt you? What did he do to you, huh?”

“He didn’t do anything to me. A-Actually, I went here to tell you something.”

“Tell me something? What is it?” she asked me worriedly.

I looked straight into her eyes as I spoke. “I-I want to tell you that Vincent and I are getting married.”

She didn’t speak.

She was just standing there while looking at me as if waiting for me to take back what I just said.

“Sophie… W-What did you say? You’re getting married to that mafia boss?”

I nodded my head. “I will.”

“Tell me the truth, Sophie. What did he do, huh? Did he threaten you again? Did he say that he’s going to kill me or your friends if you don’t marry him? What did he say, Sophie? Tell me—

“He didn’t say anything like that. He didn’t threaten me. I want to marry him because I love him.”

She shook her head. “B-But Sophie, that man is a mafia boss. He’s going to ruin your life.. Remember he hurt you before too?”

“Vincent didn’t ruin my life. He saved me from hell. He was the one who changed my life and changed me as a better person.”

“Sophie… you don’t know him… Mafia bosses are—

“You are the one who doesn’t know him! Vincent loves me and he’s the one who never left me! He’s the one that I love! But all of you, all of you see him as something fearful, as if he didn’t do anything right!”

Tears were already filling my eyes as I spoke. Miss Felestine didn’t speak, she was just standing there, listening to me.

“I owe you everything that I have now, and I am so happy that I finally found you. I finally found my mother. But can you at least… Allow me to marry the man I love…. Mommy?”

Her eyes widened as soon as she heard that from me. Tears started to fill her eyes too as she looked at me.

“But if you still can’t understand me, I’ll respect that. I just wanted to let you know. Thank you so much for everything, and always remember that I love you..” I whispered as I started walking away from her.

But before I could even open the door again, I felt her arms around me, embracing me from behind.

“No, Sophie… Please don’t go… I’ve spent my whole life looking for you so I can’t afford to lose you again.. you are all that I have now, Sophie… And if Vincent is the only one that could make you happy, then I don’t have the right to hinder your love for each other… You know all I want is to see you happy….”

I turned around and faced her. “Does that mean you’re allowing me to marry Vincent again?” I asked her.

She wiped the tears from my eyes and nodded with a smile. “If that’s what would make my baby happy, then I can’t say no.”

“Thank you, mommy…” I said as I hugged her tightly. “Thank you so much…”
