Chapter 46

Lucifer jolted upright in bed, his breaths rugged and his chest heaving as the lingering images of his nightmare clawed at his mind. The room was dark, but the striking echoes of screams still rang loudly in his ears.

In the dream, he had been standing in a nearly empty room. The floor was painted with crimson red. The stench of death was suffocating, and with each step he took, he feared he was only going deeper into the lion’s den. Bodies lay scattered everywhere, faceless figures he couldn’t identify. And then, there she was—his mother

She stood a far distance from Lucifer, her dress torn and streaked with blood, her eyes hollow and filled with unspeakable pain. She tried to scream, but no sound came. His legs felt weak and wobbly, and no matter how hard he pushed and how fast he ran, he couldn’t reach her.

Then, a shadow emerged behind her. It wasn’t a man but a monstrous figure—a manifestation of his own sins. The shadow struck her down in one swift motion, her lifeles

    Chapter 47~~Katherine got to work, sprinkling some fertilizer into the soil. The flowers had been looking a little wilted recently, and she wasn’t going to allow them to die. Not under her watch. Besides, where were the gardeners? A bodyguard that had been assigned to her, stood in the corner watching over her as she worked. She couldn’t step out of the house itself, without a guard being with her, and although this was the first time, it made her feel uncomfortable.She hissed, dusting her hands off on her overalls as she stood up to get the watering can a few inches away from her. Though, before she could reach it, someone else beat her to it. “Here.” The familiar, deep voice rang in her ears, and she looked up to meet the sun almost blinding her eyes. She stood up, grabbed the watering can from Lucifer’s hands, and moved back to the flowers she was tending to. “Thanks.” She mumbled, fixing on pouring water. He wasn’t in his usual dressy attire and she couldn’t help but notice

    Chapter 48“Boss!” A guard said as Lucifer walked by, his head held high. The men bowed their heads in respect of Lucifer, surprised to see him there. It had been a good while since Lucifer had even visited the club, and it came as a shock to all once he stepped in. Lucifer barely acknowledged the guard’s call, his cold gaze sweeping across the dimly lit areas of the club. His presence exuded authority, one that alerted everyone to his arrival. The hum of music from the main floor reverberated through the walls, but it seemed to flower as the staff parted to make way for him through the club.He stepped deeper into the club, his polished leather shoes clicking against the floor. The low, sultry laughter and chatter in the stripper's back room stilled the moment he entered. Heads turned, and one by one, the women froze in place, their gazes flickering toward him.“Lucifer,” one of them whispered, her voice barely audible over the loud bass of the music leaking in from the main hall.A

    CHAPTER 49“Come to think of it, you might be right.” He nodded, following along with her words. It had been about a week now, since they had had sex, and he felt like maybe that could be the issue. “Then, you have to make it extra spicy and enjoyable for her. So, she lets loose.” Natalia advised, even though she could hear the sound of blood rushing through her ear. Her throat felt constricted with jealousy, yet she tried her best to maintain her composure. “Well, it’s best you come with me then.”“I-I don’t understand what you mean by that…”“A threesome. I’ll surprise her with that, I’m sure she’ll enjoy it.” He murmured, standing up. “Clock out and meet me in the car.” So, silently, Natalia did so and they drove home. He sneaked Natalia into his room, making sure that the coast was clear. Taking a while to set up the room with music, dim lights and some wine. After all, he sought out Katherine and found her in her room.“Lucifer.” She snapped her book shut, staring up at him, b

    Chapter 50Katherine felt like she had just been hit by a ton of bricks. She knew she was in her bed, but she was also entirely unsure of how she even got there in the first place. Her eyes fluttered, slowly blinking open. The lights radiating from the ceiling made it difficult for her to open her eyes properly. As soon as she attempted to peel them open, the light instantly flashed in her eyes, making her head throb and she lightly groaned in pain. Lucifer who was sat in the chair by the bed, hurriedly stood up, towering over her small body which lay on the bed. Once again, her eyes fluttered open, but this time she met light blue eyes peering back at her. “Ah!” She yelped in fright, almost jumping out of her own skin. She hurriedly shifted back, hoping she’d get away from whoever it was, but when she did a double-take, she realized that he was someone very familiar to her. “Katherine…are you okay?” Lucifer’s deep voice asked as he tapped her shoulder gently. Kat’s heart felt l

    Chapter 51“Pregnant?” Lucifer repeated once again, his eyes wide. He couldn’t believe his ears.“Yes,” the doctor confirmed, nodding as he looked down at his clipboard.. “We’ll need to run additional tests to confirm how far along she is and ensure both mother and baby are healthy.”The doctor’s voice faded into the background as Lucifer’s mind raced. His gaze shifted to the door behind which Katherine lay. She didn’t know yet.And neither of them was ready for what this revelation would mean.“Okay…thank you, doctor.” He said, his voice almost low as he looked back at Katherine sleeping on the bed. He took a deep breath, moving to take a seat. It didn’t take long before Katherine woke up from her slumber, lifting her head. Lucifer rushed to her side, “Kat, you’re awake…” He said, placing a hand on her cheek, and using his thumb to caress her face gently. Katherine groaned, pushing his hand away restlessly. She felt as though she could barely move, her limbs were too weak to move o

    Chapter 52Lucifer walked into Katherine’s room with a small box in hand, wrapped with a bow. Just yesterday, she’d been discharged from the hospital, and ever since then, it’d been bed rest only. She wasn’t allowed to go anywhere on her own, even though she was still weak and didn’t really have anywhere to go. She flipped through the pages of a book, her back resting against the headboard of the bed comfortably as she seemed to be engrossed in the pages. She hadn’t even noticed when Lucifer walked into the room, despite his louding. Her head snapped up once she heard someone clearing their throat. The familiar blue eyes looked down at her, and she placed her book face-down on the bed beside her, adjusting her posture. “Oh, Lucifer…” She glanced at his hand, to look at the box he held. “What’s the matter?” She frowned, her lips turning into a slight pout. “Nothing is wrong, Katherine. I just thought you might need this.” He said sharply, pushing the box into her hand. “What is it

    CHAPTER 53“We've been in a tough situation, dear. We need this food.” Cassius defended with no remorse whatsoever. What a shameless man he was!“That's why you're stuffing your faces like hungry pigs?” She scoffed, crossing her arms. “And what are you putting on? Or did you steal this too?” She gestures to their clothing, just realising how neatly they had dressed, not the usual jeans and top.They were wearing suits. Not the flabby kind that they'd buy at second-hand shop. No, these were suits made out of quality material, but definitely not to be sported by the two people wearing them.“Lucifer got it for us,” Wilson said, bringing his voice low so the other guests wouldn't here. “Lucifer?” Kat shook her head, already exhausted. This conversation alone was wearing her out and it wasnt even up to 10 minutes. “You know, I never expected you to use Lucifer’s name in one of your lies.”“He isn't lying, dear,” Cassius teetering forward carefully, holding onto Katherine’s arm. “Lucifer

    Chapter 54The party ended on a sour note. Katherine had been on edge ever since Giovanni showed up. Even after he left, she couldn’t relax, constantly looking over her shoulder like she expected him to come back. The tension was thick, and it wasn’t long before Lucifer had enough. He told everyone to leave, cutting the night short. Now the house was quiet, but Katherine was still jumpy, every small noise making her flinch.He picked a slice of banana bread off the tray before him and popped it into his mouth. He kicked his feet up on the table and relaxed into his seat, wanting to enjoy some peace alone.He closed his eyes, drifting off into a space of relaxation, but it wasn’t long before the sharp sound of his ringtone pierced through the air, the loud sound directly affecting his ear. His eyes snapped open and he lurched forward grabbing the mobile device off the table, before flipping it open. “Boss, we’ve got something.” A familiar voice crackled from the other end of the lin

    CHAPTER 122Amanda stepped out of Katherine’s room, shutting the door behind her quietly. She barely moved before the muffled cries from inside reached her ears. Katherine’s ragged, pain-laced sobs echoed through the hallway.Her stomach twisted.“We've got a problem,” she announced, her voice heavy with worry. The two men rushed to her. They could still hear Katherine’s muffled cries.“What's going on?” Asher demanded, his chest rising and falling with anger, with his fists clenched tightly at his sides. His eyes flickered to the door where the wail was coming from. “And why the hell did you leave her alone? You know she's in pain don't you?”Amanda sighed, lifting her hands in utmost exasperation. “Shut up for goodness’ sake, Asher! I said we have a problem.”“What kind of problem?” Ethan asked.“She's—” Amanda swallowed, forcing the words out. “She's having a baby.”Asher’s mouth parted slightly. “What?”“That's not possible,” Ethan muttered, breaking into cold sweat.

    CHAPTER 121Something was wrong with Katherine. It wasn't just the dull cramps that had been plaguing her all day, nor the strange, twisting discomfort that made her insides feel like they were being scraped raw with a thousand scalpels. It was like a bad omen and it sent a feeling of dread down her spine. She ached everywhere— her shoulders, her backs, her legs. It was like she wanted to tell and sit and cry and lay down at the same time.She had forced herself to sit at the dining table, her fingers trembling as she lifted the fork to her mouth. The moment she chewed, nausea engulfed her and her stomach clenched in protest. The potato tasted like paste on her tongue, and for a second, she thought she might choke.She swallowed hard as she struggled to keep her breathing even. She pushed her fork into the potato on her plate, lifting it for a second bite.Across the table, Asher’s gaze flickered to her again. He had been watching her for the past ten minutes with concern in his eye

    CHAPTER 120Wilson’s head snapped to the left as another vicious blow landed across his face, sending a sharp wave of pain through his skull. His lip split further as blood dribbled down his chin and stained his already ruined skin.His breath came out ragged, almost too painful to bear. His arms were bound behind him with chains that dug deep into his wrists, leaving bruises under the layers of grime and dried blood.The almost dark room reeked of sweat and rust and was unbearably hot. He shut his swollen eye and his ribs ached with each breath. A kick to his side caused his body to slump forward but the chains kept him upright.To offend them the more, he grinned through bloodied teeth, defiance burning in his eyes. “Go ahead. Hit me again,” he spat, with blood pooling at the corner of his mouth. “Doesn’t change a damn thing. I want to see my father.”The guards exchanged unimpressed glances, unimpressed, before one of them raised his fist again. But before the blow could land, the

The dim light from the bedside lamp barely illuminated Antonio’s room.“Typical him,” she murmured as she strode in, a grocery bag in hand.Her eyes scanned the space. There was no one there. She walked around. Maybe she should just lay and wait for him to come or perhaps she should play some games.She took her time before deciding to go to his work table. She picked up the figurines and nodded in amusement. Her fingers trailed the documents she knew she shouldn't dare mess with, and locked onto a notepad sitting on the desk with the pages slightly ajar. She ignored it but the lines on it caught her attention. Without hesitating, she picked it up, flipping through hastily scribbled notes, dates, markings and trails leading to God knows.The door creaked open behind her, causing her to jump and drop the note.“What the hell are you doing?” Antonio’s voice was sharper than intended while his

    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 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 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 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 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
