Voltaire's POV
Sophie asked me to meet her. It's been a month now since the last time that I get to see her and I admit that I missed her so much.
Finally, maybe she's no longer mad at me. I will apologize and ask her to live with me again. I will never let her go again. I will definitely explain things to her.
"Did Lucien make a move?" I asked George while I was choosing a coat to wear later when I finally got to the tower where Sophie asked me to meet her.
"He hasn't made any move yet, boss. I think he is plotting something again. Whenever his gang is quiet, that only means that they are planning something."
I nodded. "I know, that's probably the reason. That old man's really taking his time to plan something against me. As if I would let him succeed."
I stood up and looked at George. "I will just go and meet my wife. I will let you handle things here, George while I'm not around."
"I understand, boss."
"Good. I'll get back here tomorrow and let's continue talking about our plan when I come back."
My men just nodded so I started walking away from them.
I can't really wait to see Sophie.
Sophie's POV
"Are you really sure about this, Sophie?" Lance asked me when we arrived in front of the tower where Vincent and I will meet.
I nodded. "I know I have been a coward for a long time, Lance. It's time to finally face him."
"Do you want me to go there with you?"
"No need, you can just wait for me at your house."
Lance smiled even though it was obvious that he was worried. "I understand. I will just wait for you to come home, Sophie."
"Okay."
I stepped out of Lance's car and waited for him to finally drove off before I entered the tower.
I took a deep breath as I stepped inside the elevator.
This is it, Sophie.
When I reached the top floor where I asked Vincent to meet me, I saw a few people busy talking and eating with each other. It was actually an outdoor restaurant located on top of a tower.
You will be able to see the view of the city and even the nearby river. It was breath taking, especially at night.
"Hi miss, are you alone? Do you want some company?" A man suddenly approached me. He looked like as if he was drunk.
"I'm sorry but I'm waiting for someone." I said then I averted my gaze from him.
I thought he already walked away, but then I was surprised when he spoke again. "I can make you happy, Miss. I swear you will never regret going with me. Come on now, I don't think your boyfriend will even come."
"I said I don't want to go with you. Please leave now or I will call the security."
"I won't leave unless you go with me." He whispered then he suddenly grabbed my arm.
I looked at him and tried to brush his hands off me. "What are you doing? Let go of me!!"
"I said you should go with me, miss."
"Let go of me!! Help! Someone help me please!!!"
Just when I was about to shout again, I just saw the man suddenly fell to the ground while touching his cheek.
"Who the---
"Get the hell out of here or I will kill you."
My eyes widened.
That voice....
I turned around only for me to see Vincent standing in front of me while glaring at the stranger.
"V-Vincent Hastings!" The man shouted then he came running away.
"Sophie, are you alright?" Vincent asked me when the man finally disappeared.
I nodded without looking at him. "I'm alright. T-Thank you for saving me."
"Have you been waiting here? Did I make you wait?"
"No, I just arrived here. B-By the way, would you like to sit down? I haven't actually eaten yet."
"S-Sure. Where do you want to eat?"
"Here."
"Okay."
We sat on one of the chairs and we also ordered some food. Just as we started eating, someone started playing violin as if it was on cue.
I focused myself on eating, trying to avoid an eye contact from Vincent.
Just sitting here in front of him already makes me feel really nervous.
"You've changed a lot." He finally spoke.
"People do change. You too, you also changed. You no longer have your curly hair."
He chuckled.
How can he chuckle and look so incredibly handsome at the same time?
"I thought about it and I just realized that curly doesn't look good on me. How about you, you cut your hair short, why did you do that?"
"I just wanted to have a new look. I wanted to look different."
He leaned on his chair and stared at me. My heart started beating really fast. He still has that impact on me.
"You still look the same, you're still stunning as ever. By the way, I've heard that you are now the new ambassador of Felestine Enterprises?"
"Y-Yeah."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Then we were captivated by silence again. I can still feel him staring at me as if he was waiting for me to speak first.
"You're still living at my brother's house?"
"Yes, but I'm already planning on moving out. I already found a place."
"You can always go back to our house if you want. I mean, we're still married, you are still my wife."
I took a deep breath. I put my cutlery down and I looked straight in his eyes. "Vincent."
"Huh?"
"I want to tell you something."
I noticed that he got surprised. He also put his utensils down and sat properly. He looked nervous.
"Sure, w-what is it?"
