Sophie’s POV
“Venom, do you know what Vincent’s favorite food is?” I asked Venom while we were inside the limousine on our way to the supermarket because I decided to cook dinner for Vincent.
“Back when they were just kids, he used to eat bruschetta a lot.”
I looked at her. “Bruschetta?”
“Yes. That’s Italian food, Miss Sophie.”
“Really? I don’t know about that. This is the very first time that I’ve heard about it. But since it’s Vincent’s favorite, then I should give it a try.”
Venom nodded then smiled at me. “You’re right, Miss Sophie. I’m so glad that you finally made up with boss. Because the last time that I saw you with him, you were still fighting that’s why I was so scared when I left you with him inside your room.”
I immediately felt my cheeks turned hotter.
“Y-Yeah. We’re okay now.”
I haven’t seen Vincent this morning too. Venom just told me that he left early in the morning again for work but he will come back at noon today. I haven’t seen him since the night when something happened between us. It makes me think that he’s trying to hide from me, but then that’s impossible. Why would he even do that?
“We’re already here, Miss Sophie.”
“Okay.”
Venom and I stepped out of the car and walked toward the entrance of the mall. Just when we entered, I immediately saw a men’s boutique. “Venom, I want to buy some clothes for Vincent.”
“Huh? Sure, Miss Sophie.”
We walked inside that boutique and one of the salesladies welcomed us. “Good Morning, What may we help you, ma’am?”
“I-I’m looking for some clothes for my husband.”
“I see, ma’am. May I know what kind of clothes are you looking for? Are you looking for formal ones or something that he could wear inside your house?”
“Casual ones.”
The saleslady started finding clothes according to what I just said to her while I was just looking around the whole boutique when I saw a blue sweatshirt printed with small teddy bears which made it look cute.
“Venom, do you think Vincent would wear this?”
“Huh? Err.. boss doesn’t usually wear clothes like that though…”
“Really? Oh well, he loves wearing more manly clothes. I just think that it would look nice on him if ever he wears it.”
“But I think he would love it as long as you’re the one who will give it to him.”
I smiled. “You think so?”
“Of course, Miss Sophie.”
“Okay then, I’ll buy this one.”

“This is the very first time that I’ll be making bruschetta for my husband. I think this is the very first time that I’ll act as his wife. I mean, I tend to yell at him and push him away a lot because I thought he was just a typical perverted mafia boss.”
“But you ended up loving him, am I right, Miss Sophie?” Venom asked while looking at me.
I took a deep breath. “Yeah, I ended up falling for the mafia boss. I fell in love with the man who forced me to marry him.”
“I’m also glad that you’re the woman that boss chose.” Venom said.
“You’re flattering me too much…”
We were just looking around the supermarket when I suddenly bumped into someone.
“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—
“God! Why aren’t you even looking in your way? You---
We were both surprised as soon as we saw each other’s faces.
“Oh, it’s you! Sophie, right?”
It was Monica.
“Y-Yeah. H-Hi, Monica.”
She flipped her hair graciously before looking at me and Venom. “What are you doing here, by the way?”
“W-We’re just buying the ingredients for Bruschetta. Since that’s Vincent’s favorite food.”
She nodded. “I see, that’s really his favorite food. I used to make bruschetta for him before and he always loves it.”
“R-Really?”
“Really! Do you want me to show you how to make it? I assure you, Vincent would love it!”
I glanced at Venom before looking at Monica again. “Actually—
“Let’s go!” she yelled as she put her hand around my arm.
I don’t know why but I feel so nervous whenever she’s around.
