MORTUARY*

Tatiana sniffed as she advanced towards the mortuary particular to the grave yard. Different individuals were seen either one or two in some graves mourning their loved ones.

Tatiana walked down a particular one slowly to see a figure bent over it. Her eyes narrowed as she pictured the figure to be the one she had in mind.

"Papa!" She screamed.

Antonio raised his head, his eyes were red as he was there all day. He turned back to see Tatiana who was battling with her tears and his eyes widened in shock.

"Anna!" He whispered, standing up as tears fell from her eyes.

Without hesitating, she ran to him and went into his embrace, hugging him. He hugged her back as she sniffed continuously.

He knew it! He knew she'll never leave him!!

"I thought I had lost you papa!" She sniffed and he sighed trying to stop his tears from dropping.

"You won't, I'm here now!" He muttered and she hugged him tightier.

"I've missed you papa!"

MORETTI'S RESIDENCE*

They couldn't think of anywhere to go other than their apartment as they sat together on a couch, her head on his shoulders.

Tatiana couldn't lie as he told Antonio everything that had happened to the end. He was far from shock as he couldn't say a word.

"Tatiana!" He called and she looked up to him.

"Papa!"

"Don't go back there!" He said and she furrowed her brows.

"I don't want to put us in trouble papa!"

"Trouble? You'll be stuck with him forever.....!" He muttered, his voice rising.

"Do you know who he actually is, he is named Lucifer but no one can get through him not even his background!" He added.

"Papa, he'll come for me!" She grunted.

"I can't let you go back there Anna, you'll be staying here or rather, we'll leave the country!" He replied as she was taken aback by his response.

"Papa........"

"We're leaving Tatiana. I can't let you live and dine with the devil!" He cut her off and she bit her lips.

A part of her is happy that she had found her father and she's finally out of the devil's spawn but the other part says otherwise.

She can't deny this fact. The fact that she misses him, she hadn't seen his face all day.

Her eyes went to the door and she stood up walking towards it.

"Where are you going Tatiana!" Antonio asked and she halted.

Her hands went to the doorknob trying to open it but Antonio held her hands.

"Tatiana, please don't go back there. He's too dangerous!" He pleaded.

"Papa, I can take care of myself. He won't hurt me, if he wanted to, he'll have done so a long time ago!" She replied.

"Tatiana......."

"I promise I'll be back soon!!!" She said with a teary eyes.

"Don't leave, Tatiana!"

"I promise papa, I'll be back before you know it!" She replied and opened the door leaving the apartment.

She went towards the cab and she turned back to see her father staring keenly at her. She blinked twice and entered the cab and it drove off instantly.

8PM~MILAN~HOTEL*

Lucifer walked into the bar right inside the hotel, a grin was placed on his face as his eyes scrutinized the filled bar.

It landed on a particular table and he smirked going for it. 

"Hey, it Lucifer!" Someone beside Klaus whispered to his ears and stood up walking away.

Klaus eyes widened as he looked up, behold Lucifer was standing right in front of them.

"Hey Lucifer! Nice to see you!" He exclaimed forcing out a smile.

Lucifer took a seat without responding.

"I didn't know you visit this place, how about a drink!" Klaus offered but he raised his hands shortly and Klaus withdrew backwards.

A waiter walked towards them and dropped two cups of Margarita on the table before leaving.

Lucifer took one of them, taking a sip from it.

"Take yours!" He urged and Klaus shook his head.

"No, I don't take margarita!" He declined composing himself but deep down, he felt like peeing as he shook inwardly.

"I thought you loved Alcohol?" Lucifer asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I do but not this particular one!" He replied as he was tensed up.

"Excuse me!" He quickly stood up and rushed towards the restroom, bringing his hine out of his pocket.

He dialed a number and after three rings, it came alive 

"Hey!"

"What going on!, Haven't you left!" Someone asked from the other end.

"No, Lucifer is here at the hotel!" He replied.

"Lucifer!"

"Don't you think he knows about the missing goods!" Klaus asked.

"I don't think so, make up some excuse and leave. Don't let him get to you!.....I'll be sending more men to you Incase" The voice came again and he nodded.

"Copy that!" 

He washed up his face and walked out of the restroom. Secretly, he ran out of the bar down to his car.

Meanwhile, Lucifer was still on his seat as he tapped his buds carefully.

"He's heading out!, switch on the timer!" He said to the buds and stood up too, leaving.

*

Klaus entered his car and his two bodyguard sat at the front, one was driving.

The car started as it drove out of the hotel speeding through the street.

Instantly, Klaus felt something discreet as he furrowed his brows.

"Stop the car!" He demanded and the bodyguard halted immediately.

He stepped down.

"You two should go!" He said.

"Boss, we can't leave......"

"Leave, I'll go myself!" He yelled and they nodded, driving off.

Klaus watched it as they speed to a distance far from him and soon the car blew up.

He knew it! The fact that Lucifer came by meant something!!!

Meanwhile, Venom, blaze and Scar hid around a corner as they watched Klaus.

"He seem to be smart but not too smart!" Venom whispered, his hands going into his pocket.

"What do you wanna do!" Blaze asked.

"Boss will be here soon, we just have to make him unconscious!" Venom replied as he threw a dart towards Klaus meeting with his neck.

Instantly, Klaus fell unconscious as Scar smirked.
