chapter one hundred twenty

**Pov Eleanor**

I was in my cell, lost in my dark thoughts, when a sharp noise woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw something rolling on the floor beside me. My heart almost stopped as I realized it was Tyler's head. Before I could scream, someone forcefully covered my mouth.

I looked away and all I could see was a black shadow, a man holding me tightly. My heart raced, fear consuming me. Then he whispered in my ear, his voice unmistakable: "Did you miss me, sweetheart?"

When he released me, I recognized it immediately. "Lucifer," I muttered, my voice filled with anger and confusion.

With a quick movement, I struggled, trying to break free. "What are you doing here?"

Lucifer laughed, a cold sound that echoed off the walls of the cell. "I couldn't do the job that day because King Alpha arrived before me. So I came back to finish what I started and found you trapped in this place."

I cringed, humiliation and anger burning inside me. "And why am I here? Why do you think I'm here?"
