Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

My mouth automatically went agape as soon as I stepped out of the limousine. Right in front of me was a huge mansion, I don’t think it was a mansion, more like a palace, I can say. We have somewhat big manor but this one’s different. “Stop standing there and follow me inside.” the mafia boss nonchalantly told me as he started walking towards the mansion’s entrance.

I came back to my senses then I followed him inside and there I saw so many maids and butlers lined up while lowering their heads. “Margarette.” He called out a name and one of the maids raised her head and walked towards him.

“S-Sir?”

“Bring Sophie to her room. And also, give her a change of clothes.”

The maid nodded. “I understand, Sir.”

“Go with her.” He said to me.

“O-Okay.” I said without looking at him.

After that, he started walking upstairs while his men were following behind him. I wonder what are they going to do upstairs?

“M-Miss Sophie, please come with me.” the maid said to me with a sweet smile on her face.

“O-Okay.”

I just followed the maid until we reached a room upstairs. She opened the door for me as we came in. It was a huge room with pastel-colored walls and pieces of furniture. There was also a huge crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling which made it look more sophisticated and classier. “Miss Sophie, this room would be your personal room from now on. The bathroom is over there while the walk-in closet is on the left side of this room near the balcony.”

“Thank you. Err… may I know your name again?”

“My name is Margarette, Miss Sophie.” she said with a huge smile on her face. She was a cute woman with auburn short hair right above her shoulders. She has two cute little dimples in the corners of her smile.

“It’s nice to meet you, Margarette. I’m Sophie by the way.” I said as I reached for her hand.

She nodded and accepted my hand. “It’s so nice to meet you too, Miss Sophie. By the way Miss Sophie, you should take a bath and change your clothes now. The other maids are already preparing your dinner downstairs and of course, Sir Vincent doesn’t like it when someone comes late.”

“I-I understand. I’ll be taking my bath now. See you later, Margarette.”

“See you later, Miss Sophie.”

As soon as Margarette went out, I heaved a sigh and sat on the bed. My new room is way bigger than the room that I have in my dad’s house but I’m more comfortable there. I don’t even know if I would be able to sleep peacefully in this room. That man, that mafia boss who brought me here, I still don’t know what he’s planning to do to me. I’m scared, I’m super scared but what can I do? I don’t want to risk my family’s life just for my own sake.

I took my mom’s photo inside my bag and put it above the side table. “Mommy, please guide me. I still don’t know what waits for me here but I hope dad and my siblings will be okay. I will be strong mommy, I know it would be hard but I will be strong.”

“I-I’m sorry I’m late.” I said when I arrived at the dining hall. The mafia boss was already sitting there, crossing his arms while looking at me.

“Take your seat and let’s eat.” He said without any emotion on his face.

The table was so long as if there would be a feast. I sat on the other end of it while he was sitting on the other one. I wonder if his servers always serve as many foods as we have right in front of us now.

“From now on, you’ll be living in this mansion with me. You can do anything you want, wander around, shopping—anything. If you need some money then tell it to me.”

“I-I’m still studying, and I have a part-time job.”

“Then quit your job.” He nonchalantly said.

I looked at him with my wrinkled brows. “There’s no way I would quit my job!”

“You don’t have the right to yell at me, woman.” He said with sharp eyes.

“I-I apologize… but please, just let me do my job. That is the only thing that makes me happy. Please let me work, I promise I would work here in your house too.”

“Call me Vincent.” He suddenly said which made me look at him.

“H-Huh?”

He put his cutlery down. “Call me Vincent from now on. Fine, I’ll let you work but after that, you have to go home straight here. I’ll be assigning two bodyguards to look after you.”

“I-I understand, thank you…”

“And if it still isn’t clear with you, I didn’t bring you here just so you could live the life you had before. Once you become my wife, you will finally become my property. You have to stay beside me and follow everything that I’ll tell you to do.”

“W-What? M-Marry you?!”

“That’s right, you’ll be my wife. And you can’t complain about anything because this is all your father’s fault. If you don’t want to marry me, then let me just kill your father.” He said sounding so natural.

My eyes widened. “No! Don’t do that! I will follow everything that you’ll say just promise me that you’ll never hurt my family!”

“Sure, I won’t hurt them as long as you promise to obey my orders.”

“I-I promise. I-I will obey all your orders…”

“That’s my girl.” He stood up. “By the way, our wedding’s already tomorrow so some people are going to show up here tomorrow to get you dresses. Make sure you’ll come home early.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Tomorrow?! B-But—

“That’s an order.” He said before he finally walked away.

That night I just cried and cried inside my room. Tomorrow would be my wedding with that jerk and I don’t know what would happen after that. He said that I need to obey all of his orders or else he would kill dad.
