Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Dad!!!” I immediately ran towards my father upon seeing him and Seb. I hugged him so tight while I was crying in his arms. “Daddy…”

Daddy then hugged me back tightly. “My daughter… my daughter Sophie… Oh God, I missed you so much my princess…”

“I missed you more, dad…I missed you so much… I miss you every single day and every minute… God knows how much I longed for you…”

“I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to visit you here, Sophie…”

I shook my head. “It’s alright, dad. I understand why… what’s important is that you’re already here…oh, I missed you so much…”

Tears kept on streaming down my face as I hugged my father even tighter.

I missed him so much and God knows that.

It’s been almost a year since the last time that we saw each other. It’s almost been a year since the last time that I saw my family and I didn’t really have any idea how they’ve been.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Uh-hum! So, can I have a hug too?”

Dad and I moved away from each other when Seb suddenly spoke. We both looked at him and laughed. I walked towards him and hugged him tight too. “Seb…”

“Sophie… I missed you so much…”

“And I missed you more than you could ever know…”

Sebastian has always been the closest to me in all of my stepsiblings. He’s always been there for me when I was alone and whenever I felt like I was alone in our house. He was there when I needed a sibling to protect and listen to all of my dramas and sentiments. He’s been really a great brother to me.

“Daddy, Seb, I would like you to meet Lance.” I said as I pointed at Lance who’s standing right beside me and Sabrina.

“Lance?” Seb looked at me skeptically as if asking me who Lance is.

I smiled and glanced at Lance. “He’s Vincent’s older brother and also our university’s doctor.”

“You mean, your crush? That guy you’ve been telling me before? Oops, I didn’t mean to say that, I’m sorry Sophie.” Seb said.

Lance, Sabrina, and I laughed. “Yep, he’s that guy.”

“It’s so nice to meet you, Sebastian and Mr. Laurens.” Lance said as he reached for dad and Seb’s hand.

“It’s so nice meeting you too, er… Lance.” Said dad.

They shook their hands of each other then we finally decided to sit down and talk while eating.

“Dad, how have you been? How’s the company?”

“We’re doing good. As usual, your sisters are still fighting over petty things and your mother still has the obsession with jewelries and material things but our company is doing good, thank God.”

I nodded while smiling. “That’s good to hear then. At least now I know that you’re doing great. I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to visit you in our house.”

“It’s alright, honey. We know your situation and I know you have reasons. By the way, w-where’s the mafia boss?”

“Right, where’s the devil?” Sebastian asked too.

I almost choked when they mentioned his name. “I-I don’t know. Maybe he’s busy doing something else. Oh well, let’s just enjoy and don’t mind that guy.”

“Is he treating you well, Sophie? Does he hurt you?” dad worriedly asked me.

I shook my head. “He’s always hurting me…” I mumbled. “I mean, no, not at all. He doesn’t even care about what I do or how am I so I’m definitely alright, dad.”

“That’s so good to know then. By the way, I’m already saving up money so that I will be able to take you back from him. You no longer have to worry, Sophie. Few more months and you will be able to be free from him.”

“Dad is right, Sophie. I’m also selling some of my self-composed songs and an agency already contacted me and asked me to sing for them. In that way I will be able to save money and take you back, Sophie.”

I stared at both of them as I felt the tears in my eyes. “You don’t have to do that, Seb. You should save for yourself and your future. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“But I want to take you back, Sophie. I don’t want you to stay with that mafia boss.”

“I understand you Seb but you don’t have to go that far. Besides, Vincent doesn’t hurt me at all.”

Seb looked at me. “You mean you already want to stay with him? You no longer want to be with us again?”

“No, of course I want to be with you guys again but—

“Then let us do that for you. We’ll take you back here, Sophie.”

I just heaved a sigh.

I don’t want them to think that I no longer want to go back to our house but…
