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 55Katherine was awoken by the feeling of hot breath fanning against her neck. She felt Lucifer’s hand slither around her waist, gripping her tightly as he gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. “Mmm, baby. Stop that, I’m trying to sleep!” She grumbled, pushing him away teasingly, even though she knew she wanted it as badly as he did. “You know I always like having my way?” He whispered into her ear, his morning voice husky and low. She wasn’t expecting him to wake her up like this and she could feel her p*ssy getting wet already. “I know, but I—” She gasped when she felt him nibbling her earlobes gently, making her squirm in the sheets. His other hand wandered down to her pajama shorts, rubbing her core through them. She grinded her hand back against his hand, letting out a little giggle, “But, you seem to be enjoying it, princess,” He chuckled, now slipping his hands into the shorts to touch her wet p*ssy. She shuddered gently, letting out a low moan as he slipped two finger
CHAPTER 56“Brother?...” Katherine whispered under her breath. She did a double take. Wait, these two men looked nothing alike. Okay, now that she was staring at them, maybe the lips and the nose…The eyes were totally different colours and even the physiques were different. Brothers? It almost seemed impossible and Katherine had to backtrack, hoping that she didn't mishear.“Who's your brother?” Lucifer asked, his eyes narrowed as his eyes sweeped over Marco. Him being in front of Lucifer alone irked him, and he couldn't stand the thought of him having been talking to Katherine, before he even arrived.What on earth had they been talking about? And why was Katherine entertaining him in the first place?“Aren't you no longer my brother?” Marco said, nudging Lucifer on the shoulder gently. “So much for warm welcomes…”Lucifer was quick to smack his hand away, raging so hard that a vein was bulging out the side of his neck. “We are not brothers. Please, don't let the public ears hear t
CHAPTER 57Lucifer glanced around anxiously. He was trying to look for an escape route—anything that would save him at this point, but he was trapped. Right. This was nothing but a trap, and he had just stupidly walked right into it. Who could it have been? Thick and heavy smoke filled the air—almost suffocating— and the beeping noise in the distance blared like a countdown to hell itself.Lucifer gritted his teeth, adrenaline surging through his veins as he thought of his only escape route to getting out of this hellhole. His gaze darted to the timer—10 seconds left. His chest heaved, mind racing. The stairs were too far. The only way out was the window.“Fuck it,” he growled, pivoting toward the fragile glass.With every ounce of strength he had in his body, Lucifer ran, ignoring the debris scattering beneath his shoes and the annoying sound of gravel. He could almost feel the heat radiating off the bomb now, and it made him on edge. His body slammed into the window, shattering it
CHAPTER 58“What are you doing here?” Lucifer asked, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the man before him. He tensed up immediately, sitting up in the bed. Two guards of Lucifer followed Marco in, standing attentively, with their firearms hidden. Why was it that Marco was always following him around? Now it was feeling like more of an infatuation—one that unnerved him. Clearing his throat, the doctor picked up his things and left the room giving the two men their privacy. There was no need for him to be there, prying into their personal matters.As soon as he left, Marco spoke, “Ah, I mean no harm.” He rose both arms, in defensiveness chuckling, “I just came to see my lady.” He gestured towards Katherine with a small smile. Katherine stood still by the hospital bed. Was this man trying to get her killed? It was enough as is to see Lucifer’s reaction alone, from talking to him. Now, Lucifer would think that something else was going on behind the scenes. But, that was just a plain li
Chapter 86Katherine struggled to breathe as her sweaty hands' grip tightened on the plate that she held in her hands. She silently choked back her sobs as she stumbled away from the door, running to her room.Her head ached and her heart pounded so hard that her chest felt as if it could rip open at any more. Why did Lucifer always make her feel like shit? Was she just nothing to Lucifer? A pawn in his game?She quickly entered the room, locking the door behind her and sliding her back down against it. The bread that she had baked for him still sat on the plate, though cold now.In a fit of rage, she stood up and threw both the cake and plate into the trash bin, before she flopped on her bed. The world just kept spinning all around her and she could barely think straight anymore.The warmth and excitement that she had felt for the long-awaited gender reveal had turned into a feeling so hollow and bland. Everything that she’d heard today just dampened her mood. Now, who was she to be
Chapter 85“Turn around,” Lucifer ordered as he narrowed his eyes. The petite girl in front of him spun, flaunting her curvy, perfectly-shaped ass right in his face. Not as perfect as Katherine’s though.Even though this wasn’t for any sexual reasons, he couldn’t get the image of Katherine out of his head. “Closer.” He grunted and she complied, stepping closer to Lucifer. He scanned over her body, before directing her to the right side of the room with a swift motion of his fingers. She gave a small smile before following his order and sashaying. Time passed, and the girls seemed to bore him. There was no ounce of excitement aroused in him, which was fairly unusual, and at some point, he got so sleepy that he almost dozed off. With an annoyed grimace, he commanded Antonio to take the approved girls to the club to begin work immediately while the rejected grils were to leave. As they all started to file out, he retreated back to his study to round up the work for the day, but he was
Chapter 84"I am utterly surprised." Katherine gasped, dropping some fertiliser onto the soil bed."Why?" Lucifer paused, looking at her. "A man of the underworld...in the garden!" She laughed throwing her hands up in surprise. "I know a few things about it. Don't think I don't." He squinted his eyes, watering the flowers. "Yeah, sure. You're not even holding the watering can right." She pointed out sassily. "You don't even know what you're talking about." He murmured, standing up. "I'm sure I do. I literally used to grow all the veggies back at home, Lucifer! But thanks for helping." She beamed. "Mhm." He wiped his face with handkerchief, "I'm thirsty." "There's some lemonade on the table under the gazebo, help yourself." She said, "I'll be right there. Let me attend to these lilies."He strode over to the gazebo as quick as he could, sitting down and pouring a glass of lemonade, downing it so fast to quench his parched throat.A few minutes later, Katherine joined him, taking
Chapter 83"Don't tell me that you're turning this into a thing now Katherine?" Lucifer asked, lifting his eyes up from the documents in his hands. "What ever do you mean, Mr. Cain?" She smiled, her dimples on full display. "We have personnel hired for this. You don't have to cook, or clean, Katherine. You're overworking yourself and it isn't good for the baby.""You make it sound as if I'm working all the time," She rebutted sharply, plopping onto a single chair, "And besides, you don't hear me complaining now!" She sighed, propping her legs up and crossing them over the other while she popped cherries into her mouth. "This is the fourth day in a row that you've prepared breakfast or dinner," He looked at her knowingly, "It seems you're trying to adopt the title of housewife now, hm?" "Oh wow," Katherine snorted, "As if. I just kinda feel weird sitting around all day, with no work to do, and besides, it gives the chef some time to rest.""I'm paying them. They don't need rest, a
Chapter 82Katherine had already made up her mind. Today wasn't just going to pass by with her lazing around. She was going to do something, and she would do it right.She quickly took her shower and got dressed before she stepped out of her room. Her hair had been made up into a tight, yet messy bun and she wore a casual dress, slipping into her sandals. Angelie was the first to notice Katherine popping her head out of the hallway, "Oh!" She yelped, almost startled to see her brown eyes staring right at her."Miss Katherine, is there anything I can help you with?" She hurried over to her side, and that's when her eyes traveled over her body. It was only 12 in the noon and Katherine was rarely ever showered and dressed by this time of day. "Nothing really," She wrinkled her nose in amusement, shaking her head. She stepped out from behind the wall she was peeking from and went to sit on the couch, "I just needed some of those reusable bags from the kitchen, but I have no idea where t
Chapter 81“Did I- Did I say something wrong, boss?” Natalia looked confused. as Lucifer slowly sat up. He couldn’t deny that what she had just said definitely reminded him of what had already happened, but he stifled the words back down with a gulp. “I’m fine,” He finally said after a long bout of silence. His chest matched his breathing slowly as he turned to face her.“Why do you ask? Packages sound rather specific.” He mumbled, trying to sound as nonchalant and unfazed as possible, but it almost felt as though Natalia could see through his guard.Though, she didn’t. She only hummed, still in uncertainty of what had just happened with Lucifer. “Well, I heard from Chico.” She sighed. clasping her hands together, her eyes focusing straight on a lazy-looking Lucifer. Chico was one of Natalia's friend—a very helpful connection at that. He worked by the Mexican border, where shipments usually came through, and helped most of the dealers including Lucifer, smuggle in the drugs withou
Chapter 80"Where the hell is he?" Lucifer grunted as he scrambled through his drawers, looking for a particular document. Surely if he didn't know where it was, then Antonio would.But he wasn't even here, and that pissed him off more than ever. His head held a dull throb and he groaned slamming the drawer shut angrily. "Fuck!" He hissed, running his fingers through his hair. He decided that he couldn't wait for Antonio to get back any longer, and would just go to the club to relax and ease his mind. Lucifer was almost certain that if he remained in this room with his anger fueling him, he'd slam his monitor against the wall.He left the study, locking it shut with his key behind him before he headed to his own bedroom to freshen up and change his clothes.As soon as he stepped out of the room, he was met with Antonio, whose eyes said much more than his mouth did. But, without a second glance, Lucifer slammed into him, "And where the fuck have you been? No one ever ignores my calls
CHAPTER 79"Get up." Lucifer said, with a grunt as he pushed out of his seat. "Huh?" Isla gazed at him, an expression of faint confusion written all over her face. "Did I fucking stutter?" He neared her quickly, "I said stand up."She quickly nodded complying. It was a struggle while her hands and feet were bound, but she managed to stand up. That didn't stop the horrendous pain from surging through her muscles.Immediately, Lucifer pulled out a key from his pocket, sliding it into the small keyholes of the cuffs holding Isla's hand and legs enclosed and close together. "Ah, thank you so much!" Isla fell to her knees in gratitude. Did this mean that she wouldn't be sentenced back to that icy cold dungeon?With a smack of his lips, he shook his head urging her to stand back up, "You do not deserve this, but you could be of use to us soon," He clasped his hands together."So, with that being said, one of my guards shall be escorting you to the guest room. Now, my rules are simple, fo
Chapter 78"What did you just say?" Lucifer asked, his voice a low growl as Isla tugged against the restraints on her wrist painfully. Eager for air, or a pause, or even and end to it all. Although Lucifers grip had softened, it still wasn't enough to sedate Isla and she breathed in through her nose in a panic. "G-Giovanni, I'm...working for him," She mumbled again, her voice merely a rasp. Almost as if fire had burned him, he pulled his hands away from her neck in confusion. Katherine hurriedly stood up from her seat with a small gasp. Isla doubled over, coughing so hard that she could feel blood threaten to bubble out of her mouth. She felt so lightheaded as though she could pass put at any moment and she took in big, raggedy breaths as her chest heaved up and down heavily.There was absolutely no way. "No..." She whimpered, placing her hand over her mouth, "It can't be." She shuddered, wrapping her arms around herself. "Giovanni?" Lucifer scoffed. She was just trying to look
