Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Sophie.” We were walking inside the mall when Vincent suddenly stopped walking and looked at me. He walks way too fast and so I had no choice but to just follow behind him.

“What?” I asked him.

“Stand behind that huge teddy bear. I’ll take a photo of you.”

I wrinkled my brows at him. “What?”

“I said stand beside that huge teddy bear right there.” He repeated while pointing to the huge teddy bear in front of a department store. “You’ll look cute there. Go on.”

“I-I’m not a kid. I don’t want to take a picture.” I said as I was about to continue walking away but then he suddenly grabbed my hand.

He looked straight into my eyes with his famous glare that could melt someone. “I don’t like with when someone disobeys me.”

I froze in place at that moment. He looked so fearful I could die just by his glare. “O-Okay. I-I’ll stand beside that teddy bear now.”

I quickly ran towards that teddy bear and stood up while looking at Vincent. He was already holding his phone, ready to take a photo of me. “Smile!” he said.

I then forced a smile on my face.

“Smile even more. You can also hug that teddy bear!” he demanded.

God, what does he think of me? A kid?

But because I just can’t say no to him, I followed what he said. I hugged the teddy bear and looked at the camera like a total idiot.

‘Oh my God, aren’t they cute?’Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

‘They’re a perfect couple!’

‘I’m so jealous!’

I was finally able to heave a sigh of relief when Vincent stopped taking pictures. He walked towards me without taking his eyes off his phone. “You look so fucking adorable.” He mumbled.

“More like a fool.” I rolled my eyes.

“I’ll keep these photos of you.” He said as he put his phone back to his pocket. “By the way, where do you want to go next?”

I pouted. “I want to eat already.”

“Alright, let’s eat.” He said as he grabbed my hand.

Why does he seem to be in a good mood today? I mean, he doesn’t smile. Well, he doesn’t really smile anyway but he looks so happy today. I wonder what happened to him.

We went into a fancy restaurant at the rooftop of the mall. There were only few people that’s why it was calm and peaceful. I could see the view of the entire city from where we were sitting. The walls were made of glass and so it gave a soothing feeling to the customers.

Vincent ordered some food and I just kept on staring outside while waiting for our food to be served. “Where do you want to go after we eat?” he suddenly asked.

“Why don’t we just go home?” I said without looking at him.

“We’ll go home and play chess? Is that what you’re trying to say?”

My eyes widened. “What? N-No. Right, I think we can stay here longer. I actually want to go to the amusement park near here.”

A smirk appeared on his face. “Alright, if that’s what you want.”

I should make sure we wouldn’t be able to play chess tonight. I’m not ready yet. I actually read so many books and watched so many videos on YouTube about how to play chess like a pro and I still don’t think I could beat this man here. I don’t want him to conquer another part of me again. I mean, he was already able to conquer my ears, my neck, and even both of my hands. What would he conquer next?

Just thinking about the possibilities gives me chills already.

“Here’ your order, Mr. and Mrs. Hastings.” said the server who served our food.

“Thank You.” I said with a smile.

Vincent looked at the server. “Now go.”

“Y-Yes, Sir.”

“Why did you treat him like that?” I asked him.

He placed a napkin on his lap and glanced at me as he took his cutlery. “What?”

“You can just say thank you to him, but you still chose to be rude and said go instead?”

“He was looking intently at you since we walked inside this restaurant.”

I looked at him. “W-What?”

“I might punch him if he keeps on doing that.”

“Vincent…”

“Let’s eat now.” He said.

“Okay.”

We were so quiet while eating. I can even hear the sound of me gulping. It was so awkward and I felt like I had to say something if I don’t want to die of too much silence and awkwardness knowing that Vincent keeps on staring at me as if I was the food that he was eating. “H-Have you dated anyone before?” I asked him.

He didn’t respond quickly so I looked at him. He drank some water before putting his cutlery down and looked at me. “What do you think?”

“W-Well, I think you haven’t dated anyone yet. For sure you just grabbed them by the waist and walk them straight into your room.” I said bravely which made Vincent laughed.

“Precisely. There’s no need for me to ask them out, they will go with me even if I don’t ask them though. They will voluntarily undress themselves and beg me to fuck them.”

I almost choke. I reached for my water and drank it all.

“But you’re different, Sophie. You’re giving me a hard time and you somehow encourage me to wait for you. I don’t even know why but I feel like I don’t want to be aggressive with you. I want to take it slowly. I want to take you little by little until I fully conquer you.”
