Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“I want you to file a divorce.”

I almost choke from the coffee that I was drinking when Vincent’s mom suddenly said that. I looked at her confusingly. “Sorry?”

“Do you love him?” she suddenly asked.

I gulped as I averted my gaze. “H-He is my husband so—

“You are not. You are probably not in love with that jerk.”

“Why do you want me to file a divorce?” I asked.

“I want Vincent to realize that no one’s going to love him.”

“W-What?”

She stood up. “No one’s going to love him because he’s a demon, and an ungrateful son. I want him to live miserably, I want him to realize how much he needs us in his life. I want him to regret leaving us behind.”

“I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, ma’am.”

“Vincent chose to build his own company instead of helping his father. What an ungrateful son is he, right? She stopped studying and left the house without even thinking how hard we try just to be able to give him a prosperous life as a child!” she looked at me. “So now, I want you to divorce him so that he’ll be alone again. ”

“Can you hear what you’re saying right now? You are talking about your own son. I mean, I know I don’t have the right to say anything against you or the way you handle your family disputes but Vincent is still your son. Don’t you even want to see him happy?”

“Happy? That man doesn’t deserve to be happy, Sophie. Wait, do you really love my son? Why are you acting like this? Why are you defending him?”

“Because I am his wife. It doesn’t matter if I love him or not. Ma’am, I’m so sorry but I don’t think I would be able to do what you’re asking from me right now. Divorce is not a thing that anyone can do whenever they want to, it’s a serious thing.” I stood up holding my bag in my hand. “Thank you so much for the coffee, ma’am. It’s nice meeting you again.”

She was about to call me but then I already started walking away from her. A butler opened the door and I curtsied before finally stepping out.

What kind of mother is she? Does she even care about Vincent? I think she doesn’t even want her own son to be successful.

“Let’s go now, Venom.”

“Yes, Miss Sophie.”

I don’t know why but I suddenly feel irritated upon talking to her. I never encountered such a cruel mother like her. Now I understand why Vincent is mad at them. Vincent said that they never recognized him and anything that he does so how can they ask him to obey them and work for them?

“Venom.”

“Miss Sophie?”

“Do you know Vincent’s parents personally?”

Venom slowed her walking pace and looked at me. “Yes, I do. I already told you that they let me in when I was just a child, right? Mr. and Mrs. Hastings were good to me back then.”

“If they are kind, why do they treat their own son like that? Why do they treat him like he’s not their own son?”

“I-I don’t think I’m the right person to answer that question, Miss Sophie.”

I heaved a sigh. “You know what? She just asked me to file a divorce against Vincent. And do you know what her reason was? It’s because Vincent declined to obey them, they wanted him to leave his business and work for them. I mean, they are supposed to be happy for him, right?”

“That’s why we should also understand Boss.”

“Their family seems so complicated. I think they have so many issues.”

We were about to finally leaved the mansion when someone suddenly called my name.

“Sophie?”

Just hearing that familiar voice already made my heart started beating so fast. I turned around and my eyes automatically widened when I realized that I was right. “L-Lance?”

A smiled automatically appeared on his face as he walked towards me. “I knew it was you. What are you doing here, Sophie?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I should be asking that to you too, what are you doing here?”

“This is my parents’ house.”

It was as if time has stopped for a while because of what he just said. I stared at him. “W-What?”

“This is my parents’ house; I came here to visit them today.” He said, the smile on his face didn’t vanish.

His parents’ house? That means…

LANCE IS VINCENT’S BROTHER?!
