Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Vincent, are you really planning to stay here over night just to be able to catch one fish?” I asked him while I was yawning.

He’s been playing the same game with the fishes since an hour ago. Everyone already gave up and left but Vincent just won’t. He was already soaked by the water from the aquarium too.

“Look, Vincent, you won’t be called a coward and a loser if you can’t catch any fish, okay? You’re still a mafia boss.” I told him.

But he didn’t mind me. He stayed focus on the fish that he was targeting.

He’s unbelievable. I can’t believe he’s being like this over a single fish.

“I will be able to catch you, you damn little gold fucking fish!” he yelled.

“God, he’s so childish…” I mumbled.

I just caught myself staring at him while he was focusing on the fishes. His eyes were focused on the fish that he wants. His brows were furrowed and he didn’t care even if his curly hair were almost covering his eyes. So, this is how he looks like when he’s paying attention.

I suddenly felt my own heartbeat racing so fast while looking at him. He looks quite far from his usual. He usually looks like a devil who doesn’t think about anything except from killing people and hitting on every girl he sees. I never imagine him to have such an expression like this.

“I made it! I fucking made it!”

I just came back to my senses when he started yelling like he just won the lottery. He showed me the fish that he just caught and I just smiled while clapping for him. “Great, you were able to catch a single fish within an hour and a half.”

“I told you, Sophie. I’m not the kind of person who easily gives up. I will do everything just to get what I want.” He said while looking straight into my eyes.

“I-I understand.”

I looked away just to avoid his usual intimidating gaze again. Then I suddenly saw an old woman selling accessories in a stall beside a fountain. “V, let’s go there!”

“H-hey, my fish, Sophie!” he complained.

“Uhm, how much is this headband?” I asked the old woman.

She raised her head and a smile automatically formed in her face as soon as she saw us. “Only one dollar.”

“Really? Wait, can I choose first?”

“Sure, darling.”

I Started looking through her stall full of headbands and other accessories like bracelets and necklaces. I suddenly saw a headband with ears of a cat. I grabbed that and wore it on my head then I looked at Vincent. “Does it suit me?”

“You look like a beautiful cat woman ready to bite and scratch me anytime. I feel horny just thinking about that.”

I rolled my eyes and put the headband back to the stall. “I think I’ll just take this one.” I said then I took another headband with the ears of a rabbit. I faced Vincent. “Can you bend down a bit? You’re so tall.” I said.

“Huh? Why? What are you going to do?”

“Just bend down a bit.”

He stared at me first then he followed what I just told him to do. He was staring at me as I wore the headband on his head. I smiled as soon as I saw how cute he was. “It’s so cute! It suits you so much! So cute! Hahaha!” I cooed.

“Are you trying to make me look dumb?” he glared at me.

“Huh? You don’t look dumb at all. I think you look cute.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Alright then, you should do the same.”

“What are you—

Vincent picked a headband with koala’s ears and wore it to me too. “You’re insanely adorable.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

I felt my cheeks burn. “What are you saying…”

“You look adorable together. I think you’ll really end up with each other.” The old woman suddenly spoke while smiling at both of us.

“Uh—

“She’s my wife, old woman.” Said Vincent.

The old woman nodded. “Oh, really? But I don’t think you have real feelings for each other yet. You’re being confused, you’ll be confused for countless times but I can see that you’d still fall back to each other.”

“T-This is ten dollars. Thank you so much.” I said to the woman before I followed Vincent who already started walking away.

“Are we going home now?” I asked him.

“Yes.” He replied.

I don’t know why but I suddenly felt sad. We were about to walk towards his car when I suddenly remember something. “Wait, Vincent!”

“Huh?”

I took my phone from my bag. “Let’ have a remembrance.”

“What?”

I pulled him towards the fountain. “Let’s take some pictures!”

We took some pictures together while people were walking past us. They were actually looking at Vincent and I could hear them mumbling how cute he is. “Looks like even them finds you cute in those bunny ears.” I whispered to him.

“I’m not a puppy to be cute.” He said.

“Vincent.”

He faced me. “What?”

“Thank you for bringing me here. I really had so much fun.” I said with a smile on my face.

A smile suddenly formed on his face although it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’m glad you had some fun.”

Then the sound of the fireworks was heard. We both looked up at the sky and saw how beautiful it was as different colors scattered on the sky.
