Chapter 57. Help

Sophie's POV

“Lance.”

“Huh?”

“Can I say something to you?”

Lance stared at me for a while as if he was guessing what I would say next. “O-Of course.”

I looked down as I started speaking. “Actually, Vincent married me not because he loves me. We didn’t marry each other because we love each other.”

“W-What?”

“My father owed Vincent a huge amount of money and he wasn’t able to pay him on time. And so because he threatened that he would kill my father, we had no choice but for me to go with him. I was forced to marry him even though I'm not of legal age yet. I never wanted to be married to him because you were the one that I loved back then. But because of course, I didn’t want him to kill my father, so I went with him.”

Lance's eyes widened in surprise. I already know he would be really surprised.

“S-Sophie… how did that… Vincent really did that? He forced you to marry him?”

“Y-Yeah..”

“How can he do that to you?”
