Sophie's POV
As soon as the bell ring for the dismissal, I immediately took my backpack and was about to leave the classroom when my professor suddenly called me, "Miss Laurens."
"M-Miss?"
"Can you tell Mr. Jacobs to meet me at my office?" she said, fixing her eyeglasses. She's a beautiful woman at her 20s, our professor in literature, my favorite subject. I quickly nodded as I clutched my books to my chest. "Yes, Miss."
"Thank you."
Mr. Jacobs was our school doctor here in our University. He's handsome with his blonded hair slicked back, his deep emerald eyes that could melt someone who dares to stare at him. He also has the body of a Greek God which make all of the girls here drool over him. And if you ask me if I like him, is it so obvious?
I first met him during my first day here in this University, he approached me because I got lost and didn't know where my building was then he told me where and even accompanied me until I finally found it. I thought he was my classmate too because he looks too young that's why I got surprised when I knew that he works as the official University doctor here.My heart started beating so loud when I saw Mr. Jacobs sitting on his usual swivel chair writing something on paper. He was wearing an eyeglass that he used to wear which made him look intelligent and attractive to me. How can he sit there, just write and look incredibly handsome? I wonder if he already has a girlfriend, I wish he's single. "Err... Doctor Kristan..."
He stopped writing and looked at my direction, a smile immediately appeared on his face as soon as he saw me. "Sophie!"
"G-Good Morning, Doctor Kristan." I smiled sweetly, a smile that I will never show to anyone but him. He stood up and walked towards me, his smile didn't vanish. "How are you feeling? Is there something I can help you?"
Oh God, there goes the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. Can I just tell him that I'm not feeling well because my heart seems like it's about to jump off my chest right now? "N-No, doctor. Miss Perry wants to see you at her office."
"Oh, well thank you for going here. I will go there immediately."
"Thank you, Mr. Jacobs. I will be going now." I said, averting my gaze from his. He then patted my head and smiled, "Thanks, Sophie."
I was touched by an angel! What an honor!
"You're welcome Mr. Jacobs... hehehe... s-see you tomorrow..."
"See you, Sophie."
Then I finally started walking towards the door, still waving at him. I could just literally sit there and watch him breath for all my life. Did that sound creepy?
I heaved a deep sigh when I closed the door, smile still on my face. Oh, Mr. Jacobs, can you just be mine?
If only I could have him, but that's impossible. I'm just a student, I don't have anything to boast about except from my grades. But I promised to myself that one day, when I finally have my own job and I finally have enough money, I will go back here and confess to him. I hope I have a chance."Teacher Sophiee!!!" Laila, one of my students came running to me as soon as she saw me enter the kindergarten. She's always excited to see me that's why I'm always excited to go here and see her too, I really love kids. "Laila!!!"
Just when she was about to run towards me, a man suddenly walked past her, and so she fell onto the ground after bumping on the man's legs. "Leila!"
I quickly ran towards Leila to see if she was okay, "Leila, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"
"Teacher... S-Sophiee.... waaaaa...." she then began crying. "Ssssh... stop crying Leila, it's alright. Don't cry now, I will buy you an ice cream okay?" I guided her to a nearby bench and have her sit there as I glanced at the man to whom she bumped on to. He was just casually walking with his hands in his pocket as if nothing happened. What a rude man he is, not even apologizing to a kid?! Is he even a human?!
With my blood boiling and my fist shaking with anger, I walked towards that man and grabbed him by his arm to stop him from walking, "H-Hey Mister!"
He stopped walking when he heard my voice, he looked at my hand that was holding his arm and finally faced me. My eyes automatically widened as soon as I saw his face and realized how tall he was that he's already towering me. His cold gray eyes stared intently at me, I can't even see any emotion on his face, i-is he a robot?
"What do you want from me?" he asked, then I realized that I was still holding his arm and so I immediately let go of it and stared back at him as I gulped. What is happening to me? Why does his aura feels intimidating? He's definitely not ugly because HE IS SO HANDSOME as hell but I don't know why he looks fearful even though I don't really know him yet. "L-Leila... the kid who bumped on to you a while ago..."
"What about her?" his brows are now furrowed as if he's turning impatient.
"Why didn't you stop and ask her if she's okay? She's a kid, you should've at least said sorry."
He looked at me as if I was crazy then a smirk appeared on his face, "Hey woman, do you even know who you're talking to right now?"
Sophie’s POV“I-I don’t care who you are but all I know is that you can’t just leave a kid crying after hurting her.” I said while maintaining eye-to-eye contact with the Greek god standing before me with his expressionless face. He looks only as young as me but why is he so tall?His right brow raised as he looked at me, “So you don’t really know me?”“I don’t know you, okay? Do I even have to know who you are?”I don’t even know where did I get that bravery. I just stared at him although my hands were already shaking. His eyes were sharp and I think I could already die with his glare. “You’re quite brave, huh? Well, let’s see where your bravery would take you.”Without any warning, the man grabbed me by the waist and pressed his lips on mine. My eyes widened and I froze in place. I placed my hands on his chest to push him off but he wa
Sophie’s POV Everyone was already sitting on their chairs, talking to each other when I finally arrived with my hair all over my face because of running my way just to make it on time. ”S-Sorry I’m late.” I said as I sat next to Sebastian. He smiled as soon as he saw me. “It’s alright, Sophie. At least you came.” Said dad. “Can you see yourself right now, Sophie? We’re having dinner with a very important person and you’re there wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of black jeans with your hair looking like you just woke up?” my stepmother suddenly said to me. I lowered my head, “I’m sorry, I just came from school so I wasn’t able to change my clothes.” “It’s alright, Sophie. Even if you wear rags, you’d still stand out.” Sebastian suddenly said so I nudged him when I saw Sera and Samantha glaring at him. “Are you a fool? You just look like us so if you say that we’re ugly, it’s like you’re saying that you’re ugly too.” S
Sophie’s POV“I won’t go with you!” I yelled as Vincent started to walk towards me. One of his brows rose up. “You have no choice, baby. Your dumb father owed some money from me and he offered you as the collateral.”I looked at my dad. “D-Dad please… I-I don’t want to go with that man!”“Sophie…. V-Vincent, can we just talk about it again? C-Can we—“Are you trying to fool me?! We already had an agreement and now you’re saying that we should talk about it again?!” Vincent snarled which made all of us shiver in fear. His loud yet deep voice reverberated through the restaurant. “S-Sorry… I already changed my mind. I-I don’t want to give my daughter…”We were all surprised when all of a sudden, Vincent pulled out a gun and pointed it to my father’s head. “You know I hate people who break their promise. Now,
Sophie’s POV“I already served the breakfast, let’s eat now!” I merrily said as soon as I was done preparing our food on the table. They were already sitting at the table with no emotion on their faces. “What’s the matter? Why do you all look so sad?”“Are you really going there, Sophie? I mean, can’t you just stay here?” Seb said to me.“Are you crazy, Sebastian? Do you want that man to kill us all?!” Aunt Natalie retorted. I heaved a sigh. “Aunt Natalie’s right, Seb. That guy is powerful, I think he’ll really do what he said. I don’t want you to get hurt.”“Come on, don’t be such a pretender now Sophie. We all know you were so happy when she chose you. That man is freaking hot and super handsome, who wouldn’t want to go with him?!” Samantha suddenly said.“She’s right! For sure you’re so happy now because y
Sophie’s POVMy mouth automatically went agape as soon as I stepped out of the limousine. Right in front of me was a vast mansion, I don’t think it was a mansion, more like a palace, I can say. We have a 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 maid 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 we
Sophie’s POV“Miss Sophie, which wedding gown here would you like to wear?” asked the bridal stylist to me as the maids keep on bringing different wedding gowns.I looked at the gowns without any emotion on my face. “You can just choose for me.”The stylist looked surprised. “O-Okay, Miss Sophie. I think the first one would look good on you.”“Okay.”I’m going to marry a man that I don’t even love. I’ve been dreaming about getting married since I was a kid. I don’t care if it’s simple; I don’t care what place we’re going to get married at, and I don’t even care what gown would I wear as long as my groom is the man that I truly love. I’ve always dreamed of having a happy, loving family, but I don’t think I would still be able to have that.The stylists permed my hair and turned it into a messy bun where some strands of it were falling on th
Sophie’s POV“This will be our house from now on,” said Vincent as he opened the door of the mansion where he took me after our wedding. It was a new mansion near the school where I’m studying at and the one where I work. It actually has no difference with the one where our wedding was held. It has high-ceiling, glass walls and gigantic crystal chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. Guards are everywhere in the house. There were maids, I think they are more than fifty, oh, and there were personal chefs too. “Why did we have to move here?” I asked him while we were eating our dinner.“Because it’s closer to your university. Don’t you want that since you told me that you still want to work and study?”“Y-Yes, thank you for considering it.”“Tomorrow, Venom will go with you at your school. She will stay by your side throughout the day until you go home.” He said again.I no
Sophie’s POVJust when Vincent was about to kiss me, his phone started ringing. “Fuck.” He cursed before moving away from me and reached for his phone inside his pocket.I immediately ran away and went straight to the walk-in closet. I leaned on the door as soon as I was able to lock it from inside. I was breathing heavily while tears keep on running down my face. That was close… That demon almost raped me…What should I do? I’ll be living with him in this house from now on. I don’t think I could escape from him forever. If I will stay with him here, I don’t think I would still be able to survive. That man is evil.***“Why did you sleep inside the closet?” Vincent asked me while we were having our breakfast.I averted my gaze. “I just fell asleep there.”“You fell asleep, or you were hiding from me?”“Vincent
