Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Thank you so much to all of you here, guys. Your presence means so much to me especially in this night when I am finally turning eighteen. Just like what my best friend Sabrina has said, I can finally do anything that I want. I can finally get my driver’s license although I’m not really interested in driving my own car, I can finally go to parties, and I can finally go to places that I want without asking for someone’s permission.” I smiled as I tried to look for Lance and Sabrina from the crowd. “And last but definitely not the least, I thank God for letting me reach this age. And I know I still have so many things and struggles to face in the future but I will remain grateful because I know that I have people beside me who’s always been there to support me and make me happy when I feel sad. So guys, let’s celebrate this very special night of mine by doing all the things that we want! Let’s get drunk and dance the night away!”

As soon as my speech ended, I walked down the stage and ran towards Sabrina and Lance who immediately hugged me. “You did really well there, huh?” said Lance.

“You nailed it, babe!” Sabrina added.

“Well, do you also think I could pass as the next president of United States?’

“Oh God, please no.”

I laughed together with Lance then we sat at our table while talking to each other. At least I still have them with me so I no longer have to sit here alone, staring at the people. “Wait, Sophie. We actually have a surprise for you.” Sabrina said in the middle of our conversation.

“Huh? What is it?”

Sabrina glanced at Lance and smiled as if they both know what she was talking about. I looked confusingly at them. “Why are you guys looking at me like that? It scares me…”

“We actually have a surprise for you but can you close your eyes for a while?” asked Lance.

“C-Close my eyes? But why?”

“Come on, Sophie. Just close your eyes or I’ll take Vincent away from you.” Sabrina kidded which made me glare at her.

“Go on, take him away and I won’t even care.”

She heaved a sigh.. “Okay, fine, you win. But can you at least close your eyes just for ten seconds?”

“Okay, fine. I’ll close them now.” I said, smiling.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I don’t even know why but I feel so nervous about the surprised that they were saying. Sabrina always loved surprising me and most often her surprises are really surprising in a negative way. But I still love her of course, she will never be Sab if she’s not like that and I love her because of that.

All I can hear were the banters of the people around me and the sound of the glasses hitting each other as they yell for cheers. I was looking for the sound of Sabrina and Lance’s voice but I didn’t hear anything so I thought they were just playing tricks on me. “I knew it, you were just kidding me. You don’t even have a surpri—

“SURPRISE!!!”

My eyes automatically widened when I suddenly saw all the visitors surrounding me while smiling. They were all looking at the same direction. I turned around and glanced at the entrance of the hotel only for me to see Lance and Sabrina standing there and talking to someone as if they were asking someone to go inside.

I tried to take a peek at the entrance but then two people suddenly came in. They were both wearing tuxedo with a smile on their faces. The other one is a man in his fourties and the other one is just about my age. I narrowed my eyes to see them more clearly and my mouth went agape as soon as I realized who they were.

Tears began filling my eyes while I was looking at them. It’s been a while since the last time that I’ve seen them and I really really missed them so much. “Happy eighteenth birthday my daughter, Sophie.”

It was my father, and my brother Seb.
