Vincent gently pushed the curtains aside, allowing the warm morning light to pour into the room.
The sun's rays danced across the walls, casting playful shadows that moved with the breeze. As the light landed on Sophia's face, it seemed to make her cuter. Her hair, tousled and wild, spilled over her pillow in cascading waves.
The delicate curve of her neck was exposed, and he found himself entranced by the way she breathed, observing the rise and fall of her chest as she slept. He couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of joy and contentment wash over him at the sight of her.
Vincent knew that they had shared something special last night, and he couldn't blame her for being exhausted. He had pushed her to her limits, and she had risen to the challenge. He felt a sense of pride and admiration for her, for the way she had embraced the unknown and trusted him with her body and soul.
Vincent leaned in and gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face, revealing her peaceful expression
"I'm going to protect everyone I care about, no matter what. I'll become so strong that nobody can mess with me or my people. " He muttered to himself.
He realized that to safeguard those who mattered to him in this dangerous world, he had to acquire more power and dominance. The quickest route to that was by completing the medallion.
As for what would happen after he reached the top, only time would tell.
"I had intended to check on Debbie, but it seems she already moved," He gazed out the window, lost in thought. As he reflected on the events that had led him here, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. He knew deep down that she wasn't to blame for what had happened to them. It was his own weakness that had almost cost him his life.
And as for Elaine, well he couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment when he thought about her now. The memories he had of their relationship were vague and fleeting, and he realized that his feelings for her had never truly been reciprocated when he was just an ordinary guy. In fact, he had only protected her in that bar because he thought she was someone of great importance. But now that his memory was improving, he could see that she was merely a one-sided infatuation.
Sophia slowly opened her eyes, taking a moment to adjust to the sunlight streaming into the room. She stretched her arms above her head, feeling a sense of contentment wash over her as she saw Vincent's face.
"Good morning," he greeted her with a warm smile.
"Morning," she replied, smiling back at him. He felt a warm feeling spread through his chest, realizing how lucky he was to have her in his life. They stay there for a moment, basking in each other's company and the comfort of the warm sheets.
"How was your sleep?" he asked, brushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"Amazing," Sophia said, leaning into his touch. "I don't think I've slept that well in a long time. It must be this luxurious bed and these soft sheets." she joked.
Vincent laughed softly, grateful for the small moments like these. It was a nice change of pace from his supernatural life. Sophia's unassuming and normal nature was a breath of fresh air, and he found himself feeling grateful for her presence in his complicated life.
"Do you want to have breakfast?" he asked, a hint of playfulness in his voice.
He offered his hand to Sophia, a gesture of affection that made her heart flutter.
She nodded, taking his hand and standing up from the bed. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for the chance to be with him.
As they walked towards the dining room, the aromas of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries wafted through the air, making her stomach grumble with hunger. Vincent pulled out a chair for her, and as she sat down, she couldn't help but notice how regal the room looked, with its high ceilings and chandeliers.
He delicately poured her a freshly brewed cup of coffee, its rich aroma wafting through the air. He then served her a plate of eggs cooked to perfection, with a buttery toast on the side. Sophia couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite of the eggs, savoring its creamy and rich texture. The flavors exploded in her mouth, and she let out a satisfied moan, feeling her taste buds tingle with pleasure.
"This is delicious," she said between bites.
"I specifically asked my chef to make the food more delicious," Vincent replied, taking a sip of his own coffee. "I'm glad you like it."
Her eyes widened in shock as she took in Vincent's words. Of course, she thought to herself, it only made sense that a man with such wealth and a huge mansion to match would have his own personal chef.
"Sophia, I want you to stay with me from now on," Vincent's sudden declaration jolted her. Was he asking her to live with him? Her mind raced as she tried to process his words.
"What do you mean?" she asked, seeking clarification.
"It's just like I said," Vincent spoke, his voice gentle and reassuring.
"You'll be staying here from now on. I want you to have the best of everything, and with my resources, there's no reason why you can't."
He handed her a sleek Centurion Credit Card, a symbol of his immense wealth and power. She hesitated to take it, her simple upbringing making her feel unworthy of such extravagance. But Vincent's gaze was unwavering, his expression serious and determined.
"Sophia, take it. I want you to have access to everything you need while I'm away. Money is not an issue for me, and I want you to be comfortable and taken care of." His words were spoken with conviction, and she couldn't help but feel touched by his concern for her well-being.
Reluctantly, she accepted the card, feeling its weight and power in her hand. It was clear that with Vincent, nothing was impossible, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for his generosity and kindness.
However, she still had some issues that needed to be addressed.
"But my parents..." she started to protest, but Vincent cut her off.
"Don't worry, I'll go see them myself after breakfast," he declared confidently.
Sophia's heart raced at the thought of his boyfriend meeting her strict Korean mother. She wanted to protest further, but her voice faltered under Vincent's resolute gaze. Deep down, she knew that she wanted to be with him, no matter the consequences.

"Whoa, check out those fancy cars!"
"Those cars must belong to someone important," the crowd whispered to each other in hushed tones as they admired the sight of three black BMW SUVs and a red Ferrari supercar. It was clear that this was not a common sight in their humble neighborhood, and they were all eager to catch a glimpse of the person who had arrived in such style.
The sight of the luxurious vehicles was enough to turn heads and draw out curious onlookers from their homes, wondering who could afford such extravagance.
Sophia's parents and siblings rushed out of the house to see who was visiting, and were amazed when they saw Vincent step out of the red Ferrari . He exuded an air of confidence and power, and everyone couldn't help but feel their heart race as they watched him.
Without hesitation, he walked over to the passenger side door and opened it, revealing Sophia wearing designer clothes and jewelries that he had bought for her.
"Oh my God, Sophia has hit the jackpot!" one of the neighbors exclaimed.
"He's handsome and super rich!" another added in amazement.
As Sophia walked towards her parents, she was bracing herself for a scolding, but to her surprise, her parents greeted Vincent with open arms and warm smiles.
"Is this my son-in-law? What a handsome guy!" Sophia's mother exclaimed, admiring Vincent's chiseled features and impeccable sense of style.
Sophia was taken aback by her mother's reaction, but Vincent couldn't help but chuckle at her expression. He knew that he was a catch, and her parents' reaction was just a natural response to his charm and wealth. He would be more surprised if they don't love him .
After introducing himself and explaining his intentions to take care of Sophia, Vincent and her parents sat down to discussed their future plans. She was still in shock, but deep down, she knew that being with Vincent was the best decision she had ever made.
