Lucifer had felt an underlying tension since he woke that morning, a nagging unease gnawing at the edges of his mind. Despite the discomfort, he buried himself in work, hoping it would pass. His eyes scanned through documents on his desk when a knock interrupted his focus.His assistant, Marcus, entered the office, holding an envelope."Sir, this just came in. It was marked urgent," Marcus said, his voice laced with caution as he placed the envelope on Lucifer’s desk. Lucifer eyed the envelope, a strange feeling settling in the pit of his stomach. "From who?" he asked, his tone sharp.Marcus shook his head. "No return address. Just said it was important, for your eyes only."Lucifer studied his assistant for a moment, then nodded. "You can go," he muttered, dismissing him. Marcus gave a slight bow and left the room, closing the door behind him.Lucifer hesitated for a second, his instincts warning him that whatever was inside this envelope would change everything.
But he knows that he should confront her. He stood up and went downstairs, his driver wanted to take him but he requested for the keys, he wanted to go alone. ••••••••••The quiet hum of the office was broken by the rapid tapping of April’s fingers on her keyboard, finalizing details for the upcoming product launch. She and Aiden had been working tirelessly on the company's first major venture in Russia. This was a pivotal moment for Gorbachev Enterprise, and everything had to be perfect. Aiden stood at the opposite side of the room, reviewing the finalized presentation, when the door swung open.April's assistant rushed in, her face flushed with panic, and behind her, storming through like a tempest, was Lucifer."Ma'am, I'm sorry! I tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen!" the assistant stammered, her voice frantic.April’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of Lucifer, her breath catching as memories of their tumultuous past flooded her mind. But she pu
**L&D Enterprise**Lucifer’s car came to a stop in the company parking lot, the tires screeching loudly. He stepped out, his face set in a hard expression. His mind was a mess, replaying the argument with April over and over. He stormed through the front doors, ignoring the looks from his employees as he made his way to the reception desk.“Mr. Darkclaw,” the receptionist greeted nervously as he approached.Lucifer barely glanced at her. “Clear the building,” he said, his voice cold and firm. “Tell everyone to go home. We’re done for the day.”The receptionist blinked in confusion. “But sir, it’s only the middle of the afternoon—”“Do it,” he cut her off sharply. His gaze was intense, making it clear he wasn’t in the mood for questions.She swallowed hard, nodding quickly as she scrambled to follow his orders. Lucifer didn’t wait for a response and walked toward his office, ignoring the eyes following him.Inside his office, he sent a quick message to Mikhail: *Come to my office. Now.
**GORBACHEV ENTERPRISE**Aiden stood by the window, watching April pace back and forth. Her hands were trembling, and her face was flushed with a mix of anger and anxiety. Since Lucifer’s abrupt visit, she had been on edge, her emotions running wild.“He found out, Aiden,” she said, her voice shaky but bitter. “How could he not? A man like him—controlling almost the whole of Russia—this would be a piece of cake for him.”Aiden approached her slowly, trying to maintain his calm demeanor. “April, you need to calm down. Getting worked up like this won’t help anything. We knew this day would come.”April shook her head, still pacing. “But how, Aiden? How could he just waltz into my life after everything? After all that he’s done?”Aiden hesitated before speaking again. “Do you trust him, April? I mean…do you think you could ever accept him back, knowing that he’s the father of your children?”April stopped in her tracks, spinning around to face Aiden, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Trust
April lay on the couch, trying to relax as Aiden prepared some food in the kitchen. The house was unusually quiet; the kids were still at school, and Katya and Dmitri were off at work. The silence was comforting but also unsettling, as her mind couldn’t stop replaying the events of the day. Lucifer’s appearance at her office weighed heavily on her, and the emotional toll left her exhausted. She sighed and closed her eyes, hoping for a moment of peace. But then, there was a knock at the door.“Aiden, are you expecting anyone?” April asked, her voice hoarse.Aiden peeked his head out from the kitchen, concern in his eyes. “No, not at all. Should I get it?”The knock came again, louder this time, more insistent.April felt a strange pull. Something told her she needed to open that door herself. Slowly, she dragged her tired body off the couch, her legs shaky but determined. She hobbled toward the door, her hand trembling as it reached for the handle.As soon as she opened the door, her
April, Bluey, and Pistol were in the middle of a much-needed catch-up, enjoying their lunch like old times. Aiden had set a lovely table for them before heading back to the office, leaving the house to the three friends. The room echoed with laughter, loud chatter, and the occasional scream of excitement as they reminisced about their wild days. It was as if time had reversed, bringing them back to the carefree chaos of their younger years.Bluey was mid-sentence, telling a particularly hilarious story about a misadventure at a concert years ago, when the doorbell rang.April chuckled, shaking her head. “Aiden probably forgot something,” she said, pushing back her chair. “I’ll get it.”Feeling a renewed sense of energy from the joy her friends brought, April walked to the door, no longer weighed down by exhaustion or stress. But as soon as she opened the door, her mouth dropped in shock.Standing there, grinning like they’d just pulled off the ultimate surprise, were Jessica, Geneviev

Lucifer walked out of his chambers out with his normal dark and ominous aura surrounding him. His cold face that could send shivers down anyone's spine. He's the definition of cuteness, a well crafted product from the Gods but he doesn't have a heart or maybe the Gods forgot to give him a heart. He stood at the main hall waiting for Mikhail to come down. 👥 Good morning Lord Marino.He ignored them as usual and started walking out. " Don't you dare leave me" Mikhail threatened, waking out of his chambers too. Lucifer turned, he looked at him coldly but still ignore him.
