Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Two days later, acting as if nothing happened and calling Larry's wife to a business party, making everything fine so no one could suspect anything.
He managed to convince her and the girls have vanished from the world as their bodies were buried in unknown grounds.
Not before gaining information about each girl to inform their families so they won't seek their daughters.
One girl each month just to play on the safe side.
The next day, Lucifer received a call to let him know the lone survivor had woken up and shifted to a room.
He bought a basket filled with chocolates for her, turning his charming mode on which can sweep anyone off in a mere instant and knocked on her door before coming,
"Hello Miss," He greeted with a soft voice and smile.
"Where... am I?" She asked vaguely.
"You are in the hospital." He replied, putting the chocolates on the side table and offering her one while asking.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Better." She responded with a faint smile.
"Would you like to eat it?" He gallantly offered her a bar of chocolate with his heart throbbing smile.
"I don't think I can... Right now." She said nervously.
"Oh yeah. I thought flowers would wilt so why not give something essential. But it seems like you can't utilize it as well."
Unlike before, his voice was low, tender and pleasing to one's ears and exceptionally manipulative.
She smiled and took it, "Maybe later. Thank you... Uh..." She took the chocolate and paused to hear his name.
"Lucifer. Lucifer Grave. And you are?"
"I am Red. Red Bennet."
"Red... it's a beautiful name." He complimented, taking a step back.
"Where am I, Mr Grave?" She asked tentatively.
"We are in London, Ms Bennet."
"What? How did I come here? I.. I live in-"
"America. I know, don't stress yourself. Ms Bennet, would you like to tell me how you came here?"
"Uh... I.. was drunk that night.. I don't remember. I just woke up in a truck with other women... and all of them died one by one... before I passed out as well..." Her voice became faint and sorrowful.
"Don't stress, everything will be fine," Lucifer assured.
"Are you an officer, Mr Grave?" Her question came as quite a shock to Lucifer.
"Huh?... Ah, Yes. I am."
"Can I talk to my mother to let her know I am here?" She asked innocently.
"I am sorry. Not right now. But soon." His words were so soothing that she couldn't persist and agreed.
"You take a rest, I will pay a visit later." He said politely. She nodded as he walked out.
The moment he took a step out, his pissed look came back and the enthrall no longer lingered in voice nor aura as he ordered Harry.
"Come with me." They went to a corner. "What happened to the police?"
"Don't worry, Sir. I have taken care of that matter."
"Good." Lucifer nodded and told him about the plan they are going to execute.
"-And I don't want any hindrance in it."
"Understood, Sir."
"We need to keep this girl's existence concealed. She came from America, no one should know about it."
"Then what will we do about her? How are we supposed to send her back then?" Harry asked.
"Do you have space in your home?"
Harry's eyes widened in horror when he heard it.
"Sir, My girlfriend will kill me if I let her live with me. I am sorry, I can't do it."
"Shit." He sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Okay, You stay with her, don't let anyone meet her. If she needs anything, give it to her and send her to my place when she discharges and let me know."
"Y-Y-Yours?" The word surprised was an understatement to know Lucifer is going to have a girl at home. L
ucifer and the girl are two different connections.
"Why? Do you have a problem with that?" He snarled.
"No... You and having a girl at home sounds weird."
"Then take her to your home."
"No. It sounds perfect." Harry then looked at his Boss's face, knowing he had to tell him what he did and prayed in his heart that he wouldn't kill him.
Harry called Lucifer, "Sir..."
"Hmm?" He hummed, motioning him to continue.
"I.. uh... Need to tell you something."
"What?"
Taking a deep breath Harry began to say hurriedly.
"I am sorry, Sir. But I have to stop doctors from calling the police or involving the media so I need to give them a solid name which can seal their lips and I told them the story that the girl was kidnapped but everything is fine now and her name is... Mrs Iris Grave."
"Understandable, you have to- wait a minute, what?" Lucifer asked, thinking he might have heard him wrong.
"The wife of Lucifer Grave... Iris Grave."
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?" Lucifer shouted, infuriated.
"Shh. Sir. Please lower your voice." A nurse came and scolded him. He curled his hands in a fist and gave a death stare to Harry.
"I am sorry, Sir. I had to or else they were informing the police." He was on the verge of crying.
"Harry, I want to choke you to death right now. You will pay for it after this ordeal ends."
"Uh... Sir, with your permission can I say something?"
"What else do you have to say now!?" He whisper-yelled, barely controlling his rage.
"You can make it true as well... Mr and Mrs Grave want you to marry. You can fake this for a limited time and if she came to the world as your wife, no one will know about her. We will create her fake identity. Or else leaving the country with her current one might be difficult for her." Harry explained.
"And why would I marry her?" Lucifer asked, putting his phone back in his pocket.
"Oh, Sir. It won't be a marriage."
"Then?"
"A bargain... for her liberation."
"And why will she agree to this?"
"Money. What else?"
"And how long will it last?" He inquired, furrowing his brows.
"I'd say about a year or less. After your divorce, it would stop Mr and Mrs Grave from forcing you to get married and we will be cleared as well. She will be known as Iris Grave. rather than... umm.."
"Red. Red Bennet."
"Yeah, Than Red Bennet."
Lucifer took a long exhalation after listening to his ridiculous idea and shook his head, "I don't want to get married, even if it was fake."
"You can kill two birds with stone from this-"
"Shut up." And he left furiously, disquiet about his stupid words.

Her words came out like a question to which Harry replied with a nod.The car stopped in front of a Mansion which looked ravishing to it's utmost extent. Her jaw dropped to see the mansion more beautiful than she could imagine. "I am sorry but isn't it too rich for an officer?" Red asked Harry. "Come in. Mr Grave is waiting for you." He replied, avoiding her question."Are you sure he is an officer and not a businessman?" She asked but Harry just took her inside without answering her questions. She entered the mansion embellished with precious decors and an admirable architect.She walked inside, looking here and there in awe and saw a maid there. "Why am I here?"

"W-Who is she, Lucifer?" Mrs Grave asked. Flabbergasted to see a woman in his life who dared to do this. Lucifer turned to her and stood up. He finally gave her his real look which flickers with malice, anger and gloom. He didn't say anything, just grabbed her arm and dragged her with him. "H-hey! What are-""Shut up." He ordered. He dragged her back to her room and pushed her away. He locked the door and turned to her. The clicking sound of the door being locked, gave her chills. She swallowed the lump in her throat when he took faint steps towards her. Heart pacing abnormally fast, legs becoming weak as apprehensive thoughts weighed her breaths."Why am I here?" She asked in a bare whisper. His sinister gaze was not removed from her fretful ones. Her back hit the wall as he put his hands on either side of her, trapping her in his arms."What do you-""Shh... " He put his index finger on her lips and continued in a low tone."You don't even know how much trouble I have saved

"Please don't go, Iris. I can't live without you.""I will do whatever you say but please stay with me. This hollow heart of mine needs you, to guide my path and take me out from darkness... Please don't leave me.."He even began to sob softly, snuggling to her neck."Aw. I love you too." She whispered, suppressing her laugh."Shut up." He whispered back and continued to sob. She swallowed hard and turned to him, burying her face in his chest,"Lucifer... Please don't neglect me. I can't take it anymore." She faked as well."Please tell the world what I am to you, or else I will die from suffocation without you in my life. You are my breath, Lucifer." Red cried, holding his shirt. He embraced her, hugging her close."What if I tickle you now?" Red asked playfully."I will kill you." He hissed, tightening his grip over her."H-Hey. Loosen your grip."

She joked which irked him.Red was about to walk out of the room but Lucifer called, "Where are you going?""To my room, where else?""We have to share the room today." He said, sitting up. "No thanks. I will wait for your parents to sleep and then go to my room." She smiled and picked a magazine on the coffee table, taking a seat on the couch."Just make sure no one sees you." He muttered. "Okay..."Lucifer was using his phone, they ignored each other's presence but then Lucifer called her, "Red...""Hmm?""I guess you don't have any lover that you are not caring about.""For your kind information, Dear husband.

Silenced Temptations 9- Rising Couple
She got her makeover done and as requested, they trimmed her hair a bit. It wasn't a big difference because Red was already pretty enough. Calling herself a rising star, she was cautious about beauty, how she looks, following trends and everything."How do I look?" She showed herself to Lucifer, he raised a brow scanning her from top to bottom. "It didn't make much difference." He said. "Because I am already beautiful." She said cockily. He smirked at her words and they left for the mall."You have already bought enough dresses, Lucifer." She said, "You need to get a gown." He said, taking her hand and walking inside. "Ah, the fashion show. There are two upcoming events.""Look, Red. I have no connection with J Dot hence I can't reserve any place and we can't go there but we can go to the Kylies."

Do you know how many women he's been with?""You are the first woman.""Are you sure he is interested in women in the first place?" She asked. "I don't know." Ava shrugged."Of course. Who knows?""And why do you care?" Lucifer's voice came. "Oh hey, Welcome home, Hubby." Red waved. His brows arched in irritation as he motioned Ava to leave them alone. "Don't give me those stupid nicknames." He muttered. "Why? They are a way to express love." She smiled. "Are you drunk?" He asked, taking a step closer. "Nope. Why?""You are out of your mind." He sighed. "I was asking. Since we are going to live with each other we can get to know each other." She said walking after him. "It's been a month and I only get to see your f

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.

"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.

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

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?"

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

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

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.

"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
