CHAPTER 111The club was dark and filled with low party lights, smoke, and the steady thump of bass. Voices and glasses clinked, fading into the loudness of the musicLucifer entered without a word. The crowd parted, staring at him with awe,they had never seen someone so powerful. But he didn’t care. He didn't look at them. He wasn’t here for them.He headed for the bar where a lady leaned lazily against the counter, her smirk curling around the rim of her glass. Riley. She met his gaze and lifted her drink slightly in mock salute. “You're here?”He shrugged and sunk into a bar stool beside her before furrowing his brows.She smirked. “So tell me, is this a coincidence or fate?”Lucifer shrugged back his shoulders, his frown deepening. “Don’t play dumb.” He warned audibly enough for her to hear. “You knew I’d be here.”Riley chuckled, setting her glass down. “Of course I did.”“I'm sick of seeing your face around,” he said with distasteShe grinned and nudged him playfully in the ribs

CHAPTER 112 The guards parted without a word, letting Lucifer through the grand doors.Inside, Antonio sat in a plush armchair, the remnants of his healing wounds still visible on his skin. He was recovering slowly but he was glad he wasn't in chains anymore.Antonio gave a slight nod, when he saw Lucifer. Since their last time, they hadn't seen each other so he wondered what must have brought him here.Lucifer waved off the greeting and took a seat. “I have questions and I need answers.”Antonio exhaled, sitting forward. “What should I offer you, Boss?”Lucifer’s gaze narrowed. “What did you mean when you said Katherine’s mother wasn’t only running from Giovanni?” He leaned in slightly. “You said she was running from my father.”Antonio studied him for a moment before speaking. “Ivanovo told me everything.” His voice was rough. “Your father raped Katherine’s mother.”Lucifer shook his head but he had to control his emotions. He didn't want to look like the shit he was. He motioned f

CHAPTER 113Katherine folded another dress and placed it neatly into her bag. She had gone over this decision a thousand times in her head, cause she was at a losing end but what had she to gain if she stayed back?On the bed, the girls sat cross-legged, their big eyes silently watching her. They didn’t say a word, but their eyes were filled with a sadness they couldn’t hide. She wanted to tell them it wasn’t forever, that she would come back for them, but promises like that felt too expensive.And were never forgotten. Amanda and Ethan had left early that morning, saying they were going shopping. Amanda had even smiled at her before leaving, casually mentioning, “I do hope you'll change your mind and take up this job again. The kids have been the happiest and well behaved since you came into our lives.”But that was not convincing enough to make her change her mind.Adelaide suddenly spoke out, her voice interrupting her thoughts. “Are you leaving because we’ve been mean?”Katherine

CHAPTER 114Her heart thumped loudly in her chest, so loud and so fast that she felt it was going to explode.The children's scream was suddenly replaced with a laughter that filled the hallway. Katherine slowed her steps, gripping the hem of her dress as she peeked into the living room.Adelaide and Madelaine were sitting cross-legged on the floor, their giggles echoing as they played some sort of hand game—with a stranger.A young man lounged in the middle of the room, effortlessly relaxed. His golden-blond hair was slightly tousled, his skin was smooth, and his lips curved into a lazy smirk. He had striking blue eyes, bright and sharp, like the kind you’d see on athletes gracing magazine covers. He was effortlessly handsome, like a footballer who knew exactly how good he looked.Katherine’s stomach twisted into a knot. Who the hell was he?Katherine came closer, her motherly instinct suddenly clicking. “Girls, get behind me.”The giggling stopped. Adelaide and Madelaine gazed at

CHAPTER 115Cassius had never been a man to beg anyone who wasn’t Lucifer. Not for power. Not for mercy. Not for anything.Yet here he was, standing at the gates of Giovanni Ivanovo’s mansion, knowing damn well he was about to do exactly that.The guards barely spared him a glance before stepping aside, to let him in. No questions. No hesitation.That alone told him Giovanni was expecting him.Cassius adjusted his coat, keeping his expression blank as he was led through the mansion’s dimly lit halls. The air smelled like expensive cologne, aged whiskey, and blood.Not fresh. But there. Always there.At the end of the corridor, the double doors swung open and he was let in by the guards.Giovanni sat behind a sleek black desk with a glass of whiskey in his hand. He didn’t look up right away, instead he swirled the liquid slowly, like a man with all the time in the world.Cassius stepped inside and almost jumped out of his skin as the doors shut behind him.The silence was disturbing and

CHAPTER 116Antonio’s finger danced swiftly over the keyboard , his brows furrowed in concentration as the lines of code scrolled down the screen. Lucifer stood behind him with his arms crossed on his chest. His gaze locked onto the monitor attentively without batting an eyelash as he watched his man do his thing. There was a low noise at first before a beep sound broke through the silence.The tracking signal blinked rapidly and Antonio sucked in his breath as he tried to figure out what was going on. He clicked the keyboard hard. So hard it seemed as though his fingers were going to fall off. The red dot flickered near an abandoned district on the outskirts of the city and he peered closely."We’ve got him," Antonio said, a little too excited, with his hands flying across the keys to zoom in on the location. The GPS pinpointed the area.He leaned back. “Something is wrong.”“What is it?” Lucifer demanded, his voice cold.“But this isn't his house location, this is somewhere diffe

CHAPTER 117Katherine stirred in her sleep. Her throat was parched almost as though she was stuck on a dessert for two months. Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dimness of the room.She felt baby elodie pressed against her and it reminded her of where she had slept. Madelaine and Adelaide lay sprawled in tangled blankets, deep in sleep and they let out gentle snores. Katherine glanced at the clock to her side. It was late, way past midnight. She always seemed to fall asleep in the kids room lately. She sighed and ran a hand over her face before carefully tucking the covers around the girls. Moving slowly, she scooped Elodie up. The little girl's lashes fluttered in deep sleep.Katherine pressed a light kiss to her forehead before placing her in the crib. The baby stirred again but settled into sleep, her tiny fingers curling over her face.She quietly tiptoed out of the room, careful not to move a thing, and heaved a sigh of relief when she successfully made it out.The hous

CHAPTER 118Katherine stilled, her eyes watching him as confusion hugged her like a blanket. “Huh?”“Forget it,” he murmured. Her spoon hovered over the ice cream as she glared at him. “That's an asshole behaviour and just so you know, I do not like it.”“Sorry I brought it up. I don’t want to unnerved you.”“Well you already did,” she sulked.“Are pregnant women usually like this?” He asked in curiosity. “This has nothing to do with my pregnancy,” she scolded. “Why does everyone blame it on hormones.”“I feel so hot from the anger you're radiating,” he said."I mean it makes no sense. Why does everyone seem to have a problem with my name and clothes?" she muttered, suddenly exhausted.He exhaled slowly. "Okay, first of all, upsetting you was never my intention.”“I've heard that twice,” she pointed out.“It reminds them of someone," Asher said without emotion.She frowned. "Who?"He hesitated and then gave a small smile. "Don’t stress over it."“If you didn't want to speak about it

CHAPTER 136Asher sat with Noah resting quietly in his arms, the child’s tiny face pressed against his chest. His little hands clutched at Asher’s shirt without even knowing why. Asher glanced down at him and for the first time really looked. Although both parents Dna had contributed to the boy, his eyes… they were just like his father’s,Lucifer Cain.The ruthless, famous man whose reputation made even hardened men lower their heads. So this was the person Katherine had been running from all this time. The deadly Mafia.He wanted to know how she ended up with him. He had called her wife, asked for his son, showed possession and Katherine was vulnerbale. So vulnerbale and broken. Even after he left, she was still sitting in silence and trembling.Asher swallowed hard as he tried to put his messy thoughts together. The first time he heard of Lucifer, he had wanted to look for a way to harm Ethan. To set him up and fuck him up. But he couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand them. They wer

CHAPTER 135The house was quiet, except for the soft sound of the old ceiling fan and the gentle scratch of a cloth as Katherine wiped down the table. The scent of cleaning solution hung in the air. She hummed as she cleaned, trying to relish the moment and clear her head, before the doorbell rang.Her hand froze mid-wipe, cloth pressed against the wood. The sound came again, persistently, like it needed attention.It was just her and Asher home. And no one came here.No one should.Her chest tightened. She didn't want to do this. Not again.Day after day, boxes arrived. Packages filled with things she never asked for — diapers, clothes, money and various self care she could never afford. She wanted to throw them out, burn them, scream at the sky, but she didn’t.Instead, she let them pile up in Asher’s room, turning his space into a cramped storeroom of her trash. The Landans’ patience had run thin and she couldn't blame them. Kind people had their limits.The bell rang again, caus

CHAPTER 134“Where is she?” he demanded coldly as he burst into the house in rage. Katherine glued herself to the wall of her room as Ethan approached her like a mad dog. He had a scowl on his face. “What the fuck came for you today?”“I…I don't know ow what you're talking about,” she stuttered in fear. “Show me or you'll hate it if I have to force it from you, myself.”“What did I say about treating women, Erhan?” Asher said in anger as he strutted into the room. “show her what it is to force a woman and I'll show you what it is to train a man.”Ethan lunged for his son but he dodged. “Are you blind? Can't you see what she's doing? No one has ever tried to find us for years. But ever since she came things have been happening.”“And shouldn't that be a good thing? Or did you do something wrong? Something that you're scared of someone else discovering,” Asher taunted and smirked at them. Ethan stepped back panting heavily while Katherine leaned farther away with fear as he neared he

CHAPTER 133There was a gentle knock on the mahogany door. The deep voice from within called to enter, before the guards pushed the door apart.“You need to get those thugs you call securitymen arrested,” the dark man said in annoyance. “If they ever lay a hand on me again, I will ensure their body is laid in the ground.“Any news?” The second man said in boredom.“A never disappointing one,” the dark man said and dumped the carton of files on the table before taking his seat.“What did you find?” The second man asked before placing his cigar on the tray. “Hold on friend. I've got to step out of this or I swear my toes would get eaten by this monsters,” the man said as he quickly unfasten the laces of his boots. “These commanders got to tell me how they do it.”“Enough!” the other man said and slammed his hand on the table. “What did you fucking find?”“I found the house and exactly according to my tracking, it's situated at the end of nowhere. Belongs to some family. Who builds thei

CHAPTER 132When it's a coincidence, it doesn't repeat itself, does it?Amanda sat at the rocking chair, cooing at noah who was in her arms. The baby giggled and threw his little arms in the air playfully. The girls were at her feet playing dolls and fir the first time, she felt at peace.There was a relief. Maybe because her creep of a husband wasn't around. Noah let out a little but loud fact and the stench was abominable.“Mom!” Adelaide shrieked. “His poop is leaking out.”“Oh dear,” Amanda exclaimed in panic. “This dress costs two hundred dollars!”Katherine came rushing in at that moment from the laundry room. She picked up noah in fright. “Oh Amanda I'm so sorry…Maddy love, please fetch mom the wet tissues.”“You owe me,” Amanda said as she snatched the pack of wet wipes from her daughter.Katherine smiled painfully before hurrying away.“Let me deal with this diarrhea before it explodes everywhere….arghhh noah you stink of shit…I mean it's shit….but you stink for goodness sake!

CHAPTER 131The smell of sizzling bacon mixed with the earthy aroma of coffee filled the breakfast table as Katherine took a bite of her scrambled eggs.Ethan Landan wasn't helping either. He stirred the coffee pot beside her a little too loudly with the spoon clicking on every corner. It was so loud it drowned out the pounding in her head. She stole a glance at Asher who was sitting across from her. Nothing seemed out of place for him except the rage behind his eyes. He wasn’t meeting her gaze, rather his focus was firmly on the eggs on his plate. He knew. She knew. Amanda and Ethan were silent as well but their eyes flickered between Katherine and Asher from time to time as if they were trying to read minds or pick out anything odd.Katherine’s hand trembled slightly as she reached for her coffee mug. The sound of the cup clinking against the saucer was too loud. She quickly lowered the mug, staring down at her plate and trying to ignore the sick feeling churning in her stomach.“

CHAPTER 130“I'm sorry you had to go through all that,” Katherine whispered softly. “Opening up was really brave.”“Don't sound like you didn't make me do it,” he said jokingly.“Thank you,” she said, pressing his hand to her chest. “For trusting me.”“You know, you would make a huge sum of money if you consider therapy. Stop freaking kidding me.”Katherine pouted, trying to ease the situation. “Right? Don't you think you owe me?”“Maybe I would have,” he said, smiling wryly. “But you pushed me into talking by making me help you. More like reverse psychology.”Katherine's chest tightened. She already had all she needed. But it wasn't enough. She wanted more. “So, what do we do?”“This is the part where you act like you know nothing if you want to live long.”“Have you ever considered revenge?” Katherine asked out of the blues.“Lots of times,” he pointed out. “But God, I'm not like them.”“They have guns, don't they?”Asher scoffed. “Guns? No they don't use that here. They use surgic

CHAPTER 129Katherine took a step back, her voice soft. “I’m not playing games, Asher. I just… couldn’t sleep. That’s why I’m here. But it’s fine. I’ll leave. I’m sorry.”Before she could turn, Asher grabbed her arm, firm but not rough. “Stay. I… want you to stay. And I want you to be comfortable.”She hesitated, searching his face. “Does… comfortable mean you’re okay with being vulnerable too?”He scoffed, dropping back onto the bed. “I’ve got snacks. Could get something for you if you’re hungry.”“I’m fine,” Katherine whispered, then quietly lowered herself beside him. Asher glanced at her. “So… what is it?”Katherine rubbed her palms together, her heart pounding. She could already feel sweat on her neck. This could either save her… or end her right here.What if he was one of them? What if he smiled, stood up, and went straight to Amanda?But she couldn’t hold it in anymore.Her voice dropped to a shaky whisper, barely there. “ Before I start, I need your help and I need you to p

CHAPTER 128R circled Giovanni’s table with a frown. “We've got nothing. There's no thrill. None of what we did could bring him down. What do you want the underworld to say? That he's tougher than you?”Giovanni shrugged and leaned back against his chair, with his tobacco in the corner of his lips. “He's stubborn headed. That's the problem with Lucifer.”R scoffed, with her arms crossed on her chest. “And stubborn headed people always win.”“He settled his debts.”“So what?” R chimed In coldly. “Anyone can do that. Listen. We need something more fascinating. Very thrilling.”“And what do you think?”She grinned as she leaned in closely. “I've got something. I wasn't going to say because it didn't matter to us but oufff…a girl can't stay so long without being busy.”Giovanni turned to look at her with amusement and confusion swirling in his eyes. “What do you mean?”R leaned forward and dropped her voice to a whisper. Her lips moved silently against his ears and by the time she had pul
