CHAPTER 31: THE EAGLE
Sophie’s POV
I woke up with my head hurting so much as if it would break. I sat up and looked around me and realized
I was already inside my room in Vincent’s mansion. I can’t even remember what happened last night,
but I still can’t forget how my heart broke when I saw Lance and that woman kissing. I didn’t know he
already has a girlfriend when he never mentioned it to me before.
Oh well, he did mention to me about the woman that she likes.
“Miss Sophie.”
I was surprised when Venom suddenly went out of the bathroom.
“V-Venom. God, you surprised me.”
“I apologize, Miss Sophie. I already prepared your bath for you. Please have your bath now because Boss
said that he wants to eat breakfast with you.”
“Huh? You mean Vincent is still here?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
I stood up and walked towards her. “Alright. By the way, Venom. Thank you for taking me home. I can’t
remember what happened last night but I remember having you there beside me.”
“I was not the one who brought you here, Miss Sophie.”
“Huh? T-Then who? Don’t tell me—
“Yes, Miss Sophie. He called me and asked me where you are then he went straight to the bar and
brought you here last night.”
My eyes widened. “W-What?!” I looked at myself and realized that I was already wearing different
clothes. “D-Don’t tell me he’s also the one who—
“Yes, Miss Sophie.”
“B-But why did you let that happen?!”
“He’s your husband, Miss Sophie. There’s nothing wrong with him changing your clothes for you.”
I could feel cheeks burning just by thinking how Vincent took advantage of the situation while I was
asleep.
“Ah, why did I even drink too much?” I mumbled to myself as I stepped inside the bathroom.

“Can you still feel the hangover?” Vincent asked me as soon as I sat on the chair across his.
“Not that much.” I replied without looking at him.
“I can’t even understand why you had to drink so much when you can’t even handle yourself.”
I just continue eating without minding him.
“Sophie. Are you still mad about it?”
“About what?”
“About what happened last time, when I yelled at you.”
I shook my head and looked at him. “Oh, about that? Of course not. After all, I shouldn’t ask you that
much about your personal life. Don’t worry, I won’t ask questions like that again. I truly apologize.”
“I just don’t like it when people try to spy on my personal life.” He said. “By the way, I was the one who
changed your clothes.”
I automatically felt my cheeks turning red again. “W-Why did you even mention that?!”
“Maybe you wanted to ask.”
“D-Did you—
“I didn’t do anything shady to you so there’s no need to worry. I don’t want forced sex.”
“H-How can you even mention that so casually?!”
He looked at me. “About what? Sex?”
“S-Shut up! I’m going to my school now.” I said as I stood up.
Vincent stood up too. “I will pick you up later.”
“You don’t have to.”
“I have to. I don’t want you to arrive late again. I don’t want to hear again that you’re at a bar, drinking
like a mad man.”
I rolled my eyes. “Goodbye.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
I don’t actually have the energy to go to the university today, but I don’t want to stay at home either.
Good thing Lance is just always in his office. At least I won’t be forced to see him as long as I don’t go to
the infirmary.
“Hey, Sophie!” Sabrina came running towards me as soon as I entered our classroom.
“Hey, Sab.”
I sat on my chair and she sat beside me. “What happened last night, huh? Do you know that your
husband really came and brought you home? Oh my God, Sophie! If only you saw how cool he was when
he grabbed you by the hand and asked you to go with him. You didn’t even want to go with him at first
but he lifted you up and carried you on his shoulders like a sack of rice!”
“You shouldn’t have let him do that, Sab.”
“And do you think I could stop him? He could kill me using only his one hand you know.” Sab
sarcastically said. “Why, did something happen? Did he do something bad to you? Oh my God, Sophie!
Don’t tell me he took advantage of you while you were drunk?!”
“I told you, that will never happen, Sab. As in never.”
“Oh really? Well, you can’t even remember what exactly happened at the bar, can you? So how can you
say that he didn’t do anything?”
I looked at her. “I don’t feel any changes or anything strange in my body.”
“Oh, really? Oh well. For sure you wouldn’t even be able to walk if something really happened.”
“Sab!”
“Can you even imagine how big he is, Sophie?! Oh my God!”
“What’s big, Miss Sabrina?”
Sabrina and I got surprised when our lecturer suddenly spoke, only for us to realize that she was just
standing right behind us.
“Hehehe… N-Nothing Miss. We were just talking about how big the eagle was.” Sab said and I almost
laughed.
“Eagle?”
“Yes, eagle. A-Actually Miss, Sophie has a very big eagle in their house.”
Our lecturer looked at me. “Really? Is that true, Miss Sophie?”
“Huh? Y-Yes.”
“May I see it some other time?”
“No, you can’t see it. Only Sophie is allowed to see that huge eagle, Miss. Sorry.” Sab said again and I
just shook my head.
Our lecturer nodded and looked at me again. “Well then, just take care of that eagle, Sophie. And by the
way, I would like you to give these papers to Mr. Jacobs.” She said then handed me a pile of my papers.
I looked at Sabrina to seek help.
“M-Miss, I’ll just give it to Mr. Jacobs.” said Sab.
“I said Miss Sophie, right? Not Sabrina. Mr. Jacobs also said that he wants to talk to you so hurry up
before our class starts.”
I just heaved a sigh. “O-Okay.”
