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

...The winds of love embraced their fragments with the purpose of crumbling them again...At the airport, A certain raven-haired woman awaits her flight to California. After hearing the plane had boarded, she stood up to leave with a faint smile over her lips. Her sapphire gaze glimmered in happiness to meet her family after a year.When Red was about to leave, a hand grabbed her elbow and pushed her back. Before her mind could comprehend what happened, soft lips were placed upon hers, taking her into a passionate kiss of desires and unspoken melody of affection.Effusively welcoming the warmth of Lucifer, she wrapped her arms around him, interwinding her heartbeats with him. Their lips moved in rhythm, glistening with the caprice blend with remorse of choosing this painful path. Turning oblivious of the surroundings and letting out the buried emotions, they burst their emotions through their actions as they gradually pulled away.Staring intensely at each other, Lucifer's breath
In a prestigious household of England, an old couple was savoring their tea while trying to calm their anxiousness."Mr Grave, your child has no traits like you." Mrs Grave sighed. "Our child has no traits like us, Greta." Mr Grave corrected his wife. "Then kindly teach him that there's a life after work and club." She said, worried about her son's constant neglect for life."Greta. To be honest, I doubt Lucifer has his first kiss," Mrs Grave gasped at her husband's absurd words. "Don't talk like that, Mr Grave!""I am telling you, marry that stone to someone at least this way he will have a girl in his life." Mr Grave sternly."Marry which stone off?" A deep, dominant voice of Lucifer Grave came. His exquisite gray eyes, slowly making their way to his parents as he took steady steps, narrowing his eyes in irritation. Water dripping from his raven hair with a towel around his neck, shirtless and flexing his hot body, he asked. "Who are you talking about?""Ah, Lucifer, my child.
Two 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
After a week, Red was discharged from the hospital and was taken to Lucifer's mansion. "Where are we going, Mr Smith?""Ah, no need to be formal. Call me Harry, Red. And we are going to Mr Grave's mansion.""He lives in a mansion?" 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?" Red asked."How can I let a pretty lady like yourself go anywhere?" Lucifer's tempting v
"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
"O-Officer... it's been been almost a month since my daughter has been missing." Mrs Bennet cried.Looking for her lost daughter desperately as her heart was burning on fire, to think about her condition. Massively anxious and on the verge of crying."Don't worry, Madam. We will find your daughter. Please be patient." The officer tried to assure but the pain of a Mother's heart was beyond their comprehension. "Please.. Someone find my daughter..."She sobbed, holding Bertha who was trying to provide any equanimity to her Mother but to no avail.Trying to put a halt to her cries of grief and fear anticipated by the fact of how Red is, if she had eaten or not, been safe or not. "Don't worry Mama. I am sure Red will be fine."~~•~~•Back in New York City, a certain charismatic yet icy businessman was having his lunch in silence after a tiresome meeting. Letting his stress out with a deep breath, he began to use his phone. Scrolling through instagram until his eyes fell upon a familiar

"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
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
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
"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
"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
"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
