Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

SOPHIE’S POV

“You look freakin’ gorgeous, Sophie!” Sabrina cooed as soon as she saw me all dressed up in the dressing room of the hotel, where Miss Felestine decided to hold the ball for the special announcement.

I just wore a black Tulle bustier gown with black underlay with two front slits. They also put light makeup on my face and permed my hair a bit.

I smiled at her. “Thank you for coming here, Sab.”

“And why would I miss the most important day in my best friend’s life?! Of course, I would be the first one to congratulate and clap for you even though you seem to have your new best friend already,” she said as she looked at Venom, who was sitting on a couch.

I laughed because of what Sabrina had said. She always tells me how jealous she is of Venom. She said that I spend most of my time with Venom instead of her. And that never fails to make me laugh.

“Oh, Sabrina. How many times do I have to tell you that Venom is like a sister to me?”

“Yeah, I know. And I am just your best friend, right?” she said while pouting.

I stood up and hugged her while resting my chin on her shoulder. “You are the best of all the best friends in the whole universe. You are my soulmate, and you know that. I don’t know what I would do without you. You’ve been there for me since day one, so there’s no need for you to get jealous, okay?”

“Fine. I won’t feel jealous anymore. Now, promise me that you’re going to do different poses for me on that stage when Miss Felestine finally announces that you are the new president of Felestine Company!”

“Sab…”

“Just promise me!”

“Whatever,” I said as I rolled my eyes while laughing.

Sabrina really has the habit of taking pictures of me every single time. Oh well, aren’t all best friends like that?

Then the door of the dressing room went open. I smiled as soon as I saw Miss Felestine step inside the room wearing a pink satin dress.

“Oh my god, my daughter is so beautiful!” she said, then she hugged me tightly.

“You are even more beautiful in that dress of yours.”

“You look like twins. Miss Felestine doesn’t even look like your mom.” Sabrina commented while looking at Miss Felestine and me.

After that, Miss Felestine and I sat down on the couch. She reached for my hand. “Are you excited about the announcement?”

“I’m actually nervous.” I joked.

“You don’t have to feel nervous, though. I will stay beside you all the time. I’m so excited to finally let everyone know that you are my daughter and the new president of our company. By the way, Sophie. I know it’s too early to talk about this, but can you finally live with me after this? I mean, I’ve been wanting to be with you, and I want us to be closer together.”

I looked at Sabrina, and then I looked at Miss Felestine again. “C-Can I think about it for a while?”

“You can bring your friend Venom with you if you want. You know, Sophie. I have been alone in my house for years now, I’ve been so lonely, and now that I have found you, I want you to stay with me, and at least in that way, I would be able to make things up to you. I want to be your mother, Sophie. I know I can’t replace the woman who took care of you when you were just a kid, but I promise that I will do my best.”

“I understand you, Miss Felestine…”

We went silent for a while but then the event coordinator walked in and called Miss Felestine. She told us that the event is about to start already.

“Why don’t you just agree to live with your mom already, Sophie?” Sabrina suddenly asked me.

“I-I don’t know… I-I just… maybe I’m just not used to being with her?”

“That’s why you need to stay with her in the same house, you’ve been away from her for so many years, it’s your time to finally be with your real mother. Sophie, I know you’re thinking that you might not feel comfortable being with her in the same house but after all she’s still your mother. ”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

I heaved a sigh as I stared at a corner.

Sabrina is actually right. I need to learn how to accept the fact that Miss Felestine is my real mother. She helped me rise again and be the better version of myself and so I have to make her feel the love of a daughter that she never felt for so many years.
