Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Sab.”

Sabrina looked at me with her mouth full of the sandwich that she was eating. “Huh?”

“Do you know how to play chess?”

“Chess?”

“Yeah?”

She drank some juice before speaking again. “Honey, I’m not even interested in stuying, what more in game of chess.”

I sighed.

“Why? What’s about the game of chess that makes you stress?”

“Vincent.”

“You’re playing chess with the mafia boss?”

“Yeah.”

Sabrina laughed. “Oh my God, Sophie! Are you serious? That dude knows how to play chess?”

“He’s a gold medalist when he was in second grade.”

“What?! So, he’s that good at playing it?!”

I nodded. “He always defeats me. I couldn’t even win a single game against him.”

“Why do you want to win against him that much?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Because he said he would grant any wish from me if I do.”

Her brows raised. “Really. What would you ask him to do if you win?”

“I’ll ask him to give me freedom. I mean, the freedom to go home whenever I want. The freedom to go somewhere I want.”

“Why don’t you just ask a divorce from him?”

“He said I can wish anything except for a divorce.”

“He’s really that wise, huh? And what does he do whenever he wins? I mean, you have your benefit when you do, so how about him?”

I could feel my cheeks burning just remembering how Vincent chose my ear last time. “W-Well, he chooses a part of my body that he would like to conquer.” I sipped some of my lemon tea, pretending to sound cool about it.

Sabrina’s eyes widened. “Oh, what the heck! So, you mean you’re not a virgin anymore?!”

“H-Huh? Of course, I am!”

“What did he choose?”

I averted my gaze. “M-My ear and n-neck.”

“Your ear and your—hahaha! So, your ear and neck are not virgin anymore!”

“S-Sab, don’t be too loud…”

“Sorry, sorry hahaha! I just can’t stop myself from laughing! I mean, he’s such a tease, huh? Why didn’t he choose to conquer your lips or your—

“Sab!”

“Just kidding. But oh well, what if he just chooses that one of these days?”

“That’s why I need to learn the game of chess. I need someone who’s good at playing it.”

She nodded. “I understand. But I don’t know anyone who’s good at playing chess. Oh, wait!! I know one!”

“W-Who is it?”

Sabrina stared at me first then a huge smile appeared on her face. “Mr. Jacobs. Remember he told us before that he used to play it back when he was just a kid?”

“B-But…”

“Huh? But what?”

I bit my lower lip.

I’m actually trying to avoid Mr. Jacobs as much as I can after what happened the last time. He already has someone he loves so what’s the point of chasing after him? Maybe he really sees me as a mere student who loves bugging him off.

I heaved a sigh. “Maybe I’ll just Venom if she’s good at it.”

“Why? You can just ask Mr. Jacobs. For sure he’ll help you.”

“But I don’t want to disturb him, for sure he has a lot of things to do than playing a game of chess with me.”

“Oh, there he goes! Mr. Jacobs! Mr. Jacobs!”

My eyes widened when Sab suddenly called Mr. Jacobs who just entered the cafeteria. “S-Sab!”

“Mr. Jacobs, over here!”

I was about to stop her, but Mr. Jacobs already saw us. He smiled and walked towards our table. I lowered my head to avoid his gaze. I feel nervous and I don’t even know why.

“Hi Mr. Jacobs!”

“Hi girls, how are you doing?” he asked.

“Well, we’re definitely fine. How about you, Mr. Jacobs. Are you busy?”

“Huh? Well, yeah. I’m always busy anyway so there’s nothing new about it.” He laughed.

I glared at Sabrina. “I told you.” I mumbled.

“Huh? What is it? Is there something that you need from me?” Mr. Jacobs asked while looking at me.

“E-Er.. N-N—

“Actually, Mr. Jacobs. You’re good at playing chess, right?”

“Hmm. I’m good at playing it before, but I don’t think I’m still good at it. Although I can still play it. I play it with my younger brother whenever I have time. Why do you ask?”

Sabrina winked at me. “Because Sophie wants you to teach her how to play it, Mr. Jacobs.”

“Huh? Sophie wants to learn it?” he was already smiling at me and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. “Are you planning to participate in one of our competition?”

“N-No, I-I just want to learn it…” I mumbled.

“Sure, I’ll teach you. When do you want us to play?”

My eyes widened. “H-Huh? B-But you said you’re busy. Y-You don’t have to push yourself to it, i-it’s not a big deal anyway.”

“It’s alright, Sophie. I’m willing to teach you how to play chess.”

“B-But—

“Come on, Sophie! You can do it! She said she’ll just see you after our class.”

Mr. Jacobs smiled again. “See you.”

I had no choice but to nod. “T-Thank you so much…”

Mr. Jacobs finally walked away and I immediately glared at Sabrina. She looked at me, pretending to be innocent. “Why? Did I do something wrong? He’s obviously more than willing to do it anyway.”

“But that’s because he’s just naturally kind. He can’t say no to everyone.”

“Really? I don’t think so. I think he can’t just say no to you.”

My face blushed. “W-What are you saying? T-That’s so impossible.”

“No that is not. Ah, Sophie. You’re so lucky, two hotties are going crazy over you.”

I just shook my head. “We should go back to our class now.”
