Are you sure about it?" Harry asked."What do you mean?" Lucifer stopped, turning to Harry. "Sir this method and-""Listen Harry, I have to do it. There's no going back now." "Sir, you are turning into a person you never were." Harry was concerned for his Boss who lost the track of virtue. "I know but I can't take it anymore.""When you can't see her being someone else then why did you let her go in the first place?" Harry asked. "I am already drowning in consternation, Harry. Don't immerse me more." But deep down Lucifer knows the answer of why he let her go."Sir...""I am leaving to meet our guest. You take care of things here." Lucifer ordered and left for home. This is not me, someone who will fall so low. Why can I never forget her last glance? Those tears have my name, they can't exi

Silenced Temptations 18- Unspoken
"What am I to you?" Red asked, out of blue. "..." Erich remained silent, not knowing what to say."What am I to you, Erich?" She asked again, voice hopeless."A need." He barely managed to speak, pulling his hands away from her and looking down in devastation."I can see a fierce fire in you." He knows he couldn't shut Red like he did with April who said the exact same words."It's my torture." "Losing even after having me?" She asked."You can say." He smiled emptily."What do you gain by doing all this?" The meaning of my life, he replied in his heart, "You." And the word of his lip and heart meant the same."For how long have you known me?" She asked seriously. "It doesn't matter now." He answered,shaking his head."No. I want to know a person I know literally nothing about has all my information- imagine my life was never private."

"Erich, wake up. I have taken out your clothes. Get up and get ready for work." Red woke Erich up, removing curtains and letting the sunlight fall directly on his face."You did?" He asked, yawning and getting up. "Yeah... I have some obligations as your wife." She replied, sitting on the bed. "Thanks... By that I can drop you at work." He offered, getting up."And return?""I will pick you up." He shrugged. "No. You don't have to.""Obligations.... Besides, I can at least do this much for you." He smiled softly. "Whatever. I am waiting for you downstairs." She said, leaving. They both sat down to have breakfast and Erich began to say hesitantly. "Red.. I.. Have a meeting next month." He took a pause before continuing. "So what?" Red shrugged. "...With Lucifer." He completed his sentence, leaving Red stunned for a second. A shiver anticipated with fear went down her spine, lost in mystifying thoughts."Red?" Erich called her. "Wouldn't the price of his ships and your fabrics
Silenced Temptations 20- More Than Business Partners
After a brief handshake, they sat down. "You must have known why we gathered here." Lucifer said. You're so naive."Of course, I do. We might work in distinguished fields but are indirectly related." Erich replied. As if I am unaware of the reason."And that indirect relation took us here." Lucifer smirked, motioning to start the meeting."I'll have a sixty percent share from the profit. This collaboration will bring a fair price to the public and you'll receive a remarkable benefit, Mr Black." Lucifer said monotonously."Both of us will be benefited, Mr Grave. Your investors will increase.""And your customers. Your name revolves in the world, Mr Black. And by the price where international designers only used to buy fabrics, they can easily get ships as well sounds enticing enough for them." Lucifer explained, leaning back on his seat with a shrug."And that's what your sixty percent profit is for, to compensate for it and not to mention, your services will be increased as well."
Silenced Temptations 21- Fatal Meetings
A jeering suppressed laugh reached Lucifer's ears, irking him as he was busy working. "Why are you even here?" He asked April who was indulging her champagne while sitting across from him."I am your shrink." She smiled, taking a sip of her drink. He narrowed his eyes and sighed, switching off his laptop and turning to her."Congratulations, Business Partners." She said, putting her one leg over the other. "Who told you about this?" He asked. "You certainly didn't come here without any intentions of making it unsuccessful, aren't you?" She asked with a smirk."What do you want?""I wanna tag along.""Where?""To the party. I am sure Erich would host a party for such an important guest... or perhaps to show him he has lost Red." April said, vexing him but he glared at her to refrain talking about it."I am not taking you anywhere." Lucifer muttered, rolling his eyes. "Aw. That's not fair. Do you want me to tell Erich and Red about your intentions?" She asked. "I am going anyway."
Silenced Temptations 22- His Heartbreak
Lucifer excused himself and left with Harry, cursing in his mind as the smile faded and was replaced by a scowl over his handsome features."How dare he? What does he think of himself? Did you see how he showed Red as if she is a belonging." Lucifer snarled. "Sir, You are losing yourself.""Shut up.""No. Sir you are becoming a person you never was. And if you are that desperate why did you let her-" Lucifer cut him off by a hiss, "You know why I let her go.""What's the point of it now? She is his wife now.""I have said some things to her before leaving, now it's the time to make them true." Lucifer scowled.Turning to look at them again and the moment where he saw her like this, tormented him. Watching how Erich was holding her, how they were talking merrily- killed him.He hurriedly called April knowing she has to do as he says and help him and went to a corner."Oh, Lovely awakenings. Did you see Red with Erich?" April's voice came mockingly. "I need a favour, April." Lucifer
Silenced Temptations 23- Humanoid Radio
~ Past ~"I don't understand Lucifer, how did he come to know about the existence of an ordinary girl like me. My name, my identity, everything!" Red exclaimed her worry."I am so scared. For how long has he known me? What if he did something? Oh God, help me please..." Her voice broke."I don't know what to do, Lucifer... huh? Lucifer. Hey! Lucifer. I am talking to you!" Red shouted. Looking out of the window, pacing anxiously in worry about Erich's words and actions. Lucifer was nonchalantly putting their stuff in their rooms as they are alone in the empty villa on their honeymoon in Graves land. Lucifer stopped and turned to Red who was terrified. He glanced at her and smirked."We will remember this as a memorable memory." Red gasped."Memorable!? Are you out of your mind?! Here I am telling you about my fear and you are so casual about it!" Red yelled angrily, worriedly. "Chill Red, He said he wouldn't do anything." Lucifer shrugged. Putting the bag down and coming to her.

Silenced Temptations Last- My love resides in you
Red couldn't get his demeanour but did as told. In the evening when Erich came, Red tried to talk to him about it but he didn't tell her anything. Erich gave Red a room key and left. Perplexed, Red went to the room. The room was dim and the only source of light was the candles spread everywhere, creating an aesthetic sight while flowers embellished evermore. Enchanted, Red looked around and saw a teddy with 'I love you' written on it along with another note which told her to stand in the circle of rose petals. Flushed by everything Red stood there. Delighted and thrilled to see what is happening. She turned and saw Lucifer coming. He stood in front of her and bent on one knee. Red gasped ,covering her mouth, not believing this moment is true and she is about to face the beautiful moment she imagined will Lucifer was already to complete their tale of love with an eternal bond of salvation. "Red... Exactly five years ago, on this date I first met you. That moment was the most bea
Silenced Temptations 65- Surprise
"I am telling you, I didn't do it." Red argued over the dinner table with everyone there. "You are lying, Red. Say you didn't expose Parker's cheater girlfriend in the whole university." Erich asked. "Yeah I did but I didn't announce cheating." Red shrugged. "Liar, you made Peter do it." "Indirectly, it was all your fault." Lucifer hummed, eating his food in silence while Erich was telling the time when Red exposed Parker's ex and humiliated her in the whole university for cheating on her friend. "So, that bitch was cheating on him." Red shrugged. "Anyways, I then leak the result about the pre-" Red was cut off by Lucifer, "Turn off your radio, Red. We should eat in silence." Erich broke into laughter, "Radio?" He asked. "Yeah, she rambles twenty four, seven." Lucifer said and Erich continued to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" Red asked in irritation. "Never heard such a perfect nickname." Erich said, trying to control his laugh. The rough present aside, everyone knew h
Silenced Temptations 64- Old Red
Erich tried to make her understand but Lucifer decided to leave. He called Erich to let him know he can't do it and he should also give his and Red's relationship a chance. "Hello Erich. Man, I can't do it anymore. I am leaving." "What? No, Lucifer. You can't leave like this." "Why are you hurting yourself? Give yourself a chance." Lucifer tried to make him understand. "You are not getting it, Lucifer. She pity me and love cannot arouse between us." "Why are you doing this when she wants to live with you!?" Lucifer angrily asked. "Because it hurts me everytime to see her! I cannot look into her eyes because her love is stolen from her because of me!" Erich replied in the same outraged tone. He grit his teeth, calming down. "Okay, meet her once before leaving." Lucifer opened his mouth to say something but Erich spoke up, "At least, let her choose." Lucifer wanted to argue but agree, thinking it might be for the best if Red chose herself. Erich and Lucifer met outside he
Silenced Temptations 63- Bound with me
Red lowered her head and hid it in Lucifer's chest. Erich curved his lips in dejection and continued in a broken voice, "When I had no expectation then how can I get hurt?" "I don't want to hurt you." Red said, not meeting his gaze in contrition. "What about you Red? Are you going to live your life with me all because you don't want to break my heart? What about your heart? Your emotions? I cannot live like this with you. I want your elation." "But.. but what about the sorrows I gave you. I-" Erich cut her off, "I will gather myself." Erich smiled and lowered his head, continuing in a crying tone, "But I cannot bound you with me knowing you love someone else. I.. can't do this." Red looked at him timidly, stopping her cries, "Please forgive me." Erich wiped his tears and smiled, "Red I love your happiness, If it won't exist then what's the point of my love?" Erich came closer, the soft smile still on his lips along with the tears shining like gems on his exquisite emeral
Silenced Temptations 62- Silenced Words
"Even if it hurts you?" Red asked between her sobs, looking at him innocently. "Even if it hurts me." He smiled, cupping her cheek with his one hand, dearing the warmth and wiping the tear with his thumb. "Why are you so indulgent with me!? Why can't you say what's in your heart?! Why can't you say you want me to be yours?!" Red asked, crying again, hitting his chest. "Because my words would become an obstacle to your path and I want you to choose the path to solace." He said, holding her face and pulling it close to her, boring his eyes into hers. "But Erich.. I.. I.." Red sniffed, trying to say something. "It's okay." He whispered. "I can't do this..." She whispered back. "Shh. Don't think about it more. Your joy matters to me." He said, stroking the side of her face with his hand, removing the tears which stained her charm. "I am sorry. I am so sorry.. Please forgive me..." Red weeped, lowering her head in shame. "Red, can I ask for something?" He asked. "What?" "A pictur
Silenced Temptations 61- Farewell
The next day. April couldn't stay any longer and decided to leave before anything else happened because of her. Also, she doesn't want to ruin lives by her presence anymore. "Are you sure about leaving?" She smiled and nodded. "And you will not come back?" He asked again. "Lucifer, I have done nothing to find a reason to come back." "How could you leave after the chaos?" April laughed a little, "I have demolished everything, that's why I am leaving. And nothing could stop me. I'm sorry if I can't help you anymore but I have to go... It.. suffocates me to see Erich and Red.. I can't take it anymore." Her voice cracked up. She sniffed, resisting her tears and continued in a croaky voice, "I didn't intend to become like this. After Erich ended our sessions, I had no intentions of entering his life again. I just wanted to go back, being Red's friend only but.. I came because of you but I can't do it anymore." "April..." Lucifer called, looking at her compassionately. "Thanks for ev
Silenced Temptations 60- On Her Rhythm
On her way back, her car's tyre got punctured. She called a mechanic and was waiting for him but then saw Lucifer in April's car who was going to her outlet but when he saw her on the road he stopped. "Red..." He called her, coming to her. "Why are you here?" Red asked. "I wanted to see you." He replied. "You did, now leave." She sighed. "Waiting for a mechanic?" He asked. She rolled her eyes, leaning on her car, ignoring him. Lucifer laughed a little to himself and stared at her. Red tried her best to ignore his gaze and smile but couldn't resist and ask out of annoyance, "What are you staring at?" "You." He replied. "Then stop doing it, it's creepy." She said, His smile turned into a sad one as he lowered his head. "Sorry if that made you uncomfortable but what can I do when I love your hair." He said, looking at her again. "I am sorry if it was unpleasant but I love your smiles." He said with a tear stinging in his eye. "I still love the radiance you no longer pos
Silenced Temptations 59- New Start
"I want to start things over between us." Red breathed out, closing her eyes while Erich traced his fingers on the side of her face with his heart racing rapidly. "Erich please." Red spoke inaudibly. Erich gently pushed her down on the bed and moved back, smiling, "Good night." He said and left her alone in the room to think about her words and thoughts. She couldn't sleep at night, nothing made sense to her with millions of questions roaming her mind and the betrayal pricked a needle in her heart, she needed guidance but seemed like she was being manipulated by sympathy. The next day, she woke up early and didn't find Erich next to her. He slept in the other room, She sighed, freshened up. Red readied up and looked at her dead eyes in the mirror. "Smile, Red. You are going to start a new life today." She told herself. And who do you truly love? A question echoed in her mind and blended angst. She shook her head, forming a fake smile and walked out. Red cooked breakfast for Er
Silenced Temptations 58- Chance
"See. When you can do this, why not April?" He taunted. "Lucifer. Stop." April whispered, holding his shirt, hiding behind his back, trying not to cry. "No. What do you think of yourself, Red? You are hurting everyone here by hiding your real emotions, why are you choosing pain rather than sorting everything out?" Red grit her teeth, averting her gaze with no reply escaping her lips because his words were the bitter reality. "Enough, Lucifer. Stop it." Erich said. Lucifer looked at Erich and let out a short laugh, "And look at this poor guy, Red. Contemplate his condition, it was all because of you." Lucifer scowled. Red curled her hands, drowning in guilt for what happened to Erich by her unintentional words. "Stop it." Red managed to say. "Why? Can't-" Lucifer was cut off by April this time. "Please Lucifer. Stop." "No, Let him speak. What are you trying to show anyways, huh? Do you care? Don't give me this crap now." Red mocked. "Leave my house." April managed to say. "I am
