Mafia King's Innocent Bride [PUBLISHED UNDER IMMAC PPH]

VINCENT AND LANCE

Vincent's POV

"Where's Lance?" I asked his maid as soon as I stepped out of my car.

"Sir Vincent, nagpunta po si Sir Lance sa bahay ng parents ninyo, kaya---

I didn't let her finish speaking, I went back inside my car and drove off to our parents' house.

This would be the very first time that I will go there. I haven't gone there for so long ever since I moved out of our house.

I want to see Lance, I would like to tell him to give Sophie back to me.

"S...Sir Vincent?" The maids in our house looked so surprised upon seeing me.

"Where's Lance?"

"N..Nasa loob po siya, Sir."

With my hands balled into fists, I walked straight to the living room, and there, I saw Lance, my mom, and my dad busy talking to each other.

"Lance!" I yelled.

All of them turned around and looked in my direction. Lance stood up, I quickly walked towards him and punched him in the face.

"You fucking bastard!"

"Vincent!!!"

Lance fell to the ground. And before he could even stand up, I punched him again.

"What did you say to Sophie, huh?! What did you tell her?!"

"Vincent, I said stop it!! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Mom yelled.

Dad helped Lance stand up. He looked at me with confusion. "Ano bang problema mo, V?!"

"What is my problem? You! You are my problem! What did you say to my wife, huh?! Did you tell her to file a divorce? Did you tell her to just leave me and be with you instead?!"

"Anong pinagsasabi mo, V?"

"Can you stop fucking pretending?! You've been with her for a month and you're still pretending as if you didn't do anything? She asked for a divorce from me, who else do you think has said that to her?!"

He shook his head. "Wala akong sinabing kahit na ano pa man sa kanya, V. Ang taanging ginawa ko lang ay manatili sa tabi niya. Sinabi ko pa nga sa kanyang kausapin ka. Ni hindi ko nga alam na nanghingi siya ng divorce mula sa'yo."

"You fucking liar!!! You took advantage of her! You took her in because you want her to rely on you because you want her to forget about me!"

"Naririnig mo ba ang mga sinasabi mo ngayon, V? Hindi ko kailanman inisip na gawin 'yon. Alam mo kung gaano kita pinahahalagahan bilang kapatid ko. Ako ang laging nagpapaubaya sa'yo, kahit pa masasaktan ako dahil doon, ako parati ang gumagawa ng mga choice na papabor sa'yo!" 

"And now you are saying that I owe you something? Lance, you always get what you want! All of the people that I love, all of them chose you! And now that I finally have Sophie, you are going to take her away from me too? Because you always want everything to be on your side, you always want things to favor you!"

"You don't owe me anything, Vincent. Pero akala ko kasi... akala ko one day mar-realize mo kung gaano kalaki ang isinakripisyo ko para sa'yo. Nag-pasya akong maging doctor dahil gusto kong ikaw ang magmana ng kompanya ni dad. Hindi ako nag-confess kay Monica noon dahil alam kong masasaktan ka. Every fucking thing that I did, everything was all because of you, V!"

"Enough of this! Vincent! What are you doing?! Why did you punch Lance and what the hell are you talking about again?! Did you come here all of a sudden just to punch your brother? You never really changed!" Mom yelled at me.

I didn't mind her, I looked at Lance instead. "Bring Sophie back to me. Let her go and bring her back to me!"

"Hindi na siya nakatira sa bahay ko."

"Can't you just stop fucking lying?!"

"Vincent, I said stop it!!" Mom yelled again.

Finally, I looked at her. "Mom, can you just leave the two of us here for a while? This has nothing to do with you, it's between me and Lance."

"You came all the way here to punch your brother in front of us then you'll ask us to just leave and let you kill each other here? And what are you talking about again, about that woman that you got married to? Vincent, why are you asking that woman from Lance? You are the one who married her, why are you asking Lance?"

"Because your perfect son just stole my wife away from me." I sarcastically said.

"What?! Is that true, Lance?!"

Lance shook his head. "Ilang  beses ko ba dapat sabihin sa'yo na hindi ko kailanman ninakaw si Sophie mula sa'yo?! Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit siya nagkagano'n! YYou and your stupid feelings for Monica! You've hurt Sophie so much and you're thinking that she will forgive you so easily? Are you stupid?!"

"You fucking---

"Vincent! Stop!" This time, dad was the one who yelled.

I glared at Lance.

Mom then stood between the two of us and looked at me. "I can't believe you are going to fight dahil lang sa isang walang kwentang babae! Ikaw Vincent, hindi ka na talaga nagbago! Pumupunta ka lang talaga rito para magdala ng gulo!"

"Blame your favorite son. He keeps on acting like the good guy when the truth is, he's just waiting for the right time."

"Hindi totoo iyan, V!"

"You know why people leave you? Because of your behavior! People leave you because you keep on blaming other people for things that you yourself have done!" Mom yelled.

"Mom, can you just stop interrupting here?! I said this is between me and---

"That is why even your stupid dad left you!"

That made all of us quiet.

"Mom..." Lance whispered.

I clenched my jaw. "That's right, that is the reason why you never treated me like your own son, right? Because I am just the son of that bastard who raped you! The son you never wanted!"

The sound of my mom's palm as it hit my face reverberated through the whole mansion.

"Right, that's why whenever I see you, all I can remember is the face of that monster! That stupid mafia who raped me!"
