CHAPTER 91Katherine’s legs ached so hard she felt as though her limbs would dismantle and her lungs burned.Her breaths came in shallow pants as she stumbled over the rough ground, with the edges of the broken twigs piercing into her bare feet.She had been running for hours— maybe longer and every time she would look over her shoulders to see if she was being watched.Each step felt heavier than the last. It was as if her body was begging her to stop, to give in. But she couldn't. She wouldn't.She was far from Lucifer now. Far from the walls of his world and also far from safety. Here he couldn't find her and keep her tangled in his Web of lies. He wouldn't make her feel like he was doing everything for her. Like he was doing her a favour. She was better off without him. Always.Her stomach clenched painfully. She stopped in her tracks and rubbed at her belly. She could feel the hunger as it gnawed at her ribs. She needed food and water. She hadn't put anything in her mouth and gui

CHAPTER 92The wooden dining table creaked slightly as Amanda set another dish down. The aroma of chicken fried steak, cornbread pancakes and chuck wagon chili filled the air. Beside it was beef stew and chicken and dumplings.Katherine munched on the food greedily like someone who hadn't seen food in days. Maybe she hadn't.Ethan and Amanda shared a look as she scooped another spoonful, barely pausing for breath. The baby sat on Ethan’s lap, smacking her tiny hands against the table, entertained by the quick movements."You must’ve been really hungry," Ethan said, watching as she took another bite.Katherine swallowed, her cheeks puffed slightly before she covered her mouth and let out a quiet chuckle. "Guess I was."Amanda nudged another piece of meat toward her plate. "Eat up, there’s plenty more.”She smiled gratefully and ate up. Without hesitation. The hunger in her movements told a lot of things but they didn’t ask questions. Not yet.When the last piece was gone, Katherine lea

CHAPTER 93Wilson's breath hitched in his throat and his face lost all color, and then, as if his body gave up before his mind did, a wet stain spread down his pants and pattered down to the ground.Lucifer didn’t react. Didn’t blink. He just stood there, watching him with eyes that burned, not just with fury, but with exhaustion and frustration.His body was rigid, his movements were stiff, like he was barely holding himself together. Days without sleep had hollowed his face and deepened the bags under his eyes.“Please,” Wilson begged.Cassius, who was sitting at the edge of his chair, frowned. His thick brows pulled together as he looked between Wilson and Lucifer. "What the hell is going on?”Lucifer didn’t take his eyes off Wilson. His voice was low, clipped, controlled. "Stay out of it, Cassius. Your son knows exactly what I’m talking about."Wilson twitched, his throat bobbing as he took an instinctive step back. He was shaking. His breathing had turned into quick, shallow gasp

CHAPTER 94Katherine stirred at the light tap on her arm, muttering something incoherent before slipping back into the depths of sleep. But the tap came again—gentle, yet urgent. With a groggy groan, she turned sluggishly, her body pressed down by exhaustion.When she finally forced her heavy eyelids open, she was met with a pair of wide, unblinking blue eyes staring back at her. A small figure towered over her, looming close, too close. Her pulse jolted, and without thinking, she shoved the figure away.She heard a gasp. And then, a thud. Katherine shot upright in bed, disoriented, her heart pounding as she scanned the unfamiliar room. Where was she? Her breath was unstable as panic seized her chest.The child, a girl with long blonde curls, was scrambling up from the floor, brushing off her dress with frantic little hands. “That’s mean,” she huffed, pouting. “And Mom will be displeased if I ruin my new dress.”Katherine swallowed hard, her head still foggy. She eyed the girl wari

CHAPTER 95Katherine immediately noticed the shift in Amanda’s expression at the mention of the name. The woman went pale, her lips pressing together as if she were holding something back. Ethan blinked, looking away quickly, his fingers twitching slightly on the table. Something was going on but it wasn't something she wanted to point out and it was definitely something the couples didn't want to mention either but their body language gave them away.Not wanting to make things worse, Katherine quickly forced a smile. “I love the name,” she said, her voice steady but light.The silence stretched for a second longer before Amanda exhaled and nodded. She turned to the girls and, with a slightly strained smile, said, “Girls, this is Marilyn—your new big sister and babysitter.”Adelaide beamed at the introduction, but Madeleine's face scrunched into a pout. She crossed her arms over her small chest and huffed. “I don’t want another big sister.”Amanda sighed. “Madelaine—”“No! Adelaide a

CHAPTER 96The rhythmic sound of fists slamming into leather filled the gym. Each punch landed with a sickening thud and the bag jerked violently under the force. Sweat dripped from Lucifer’s body, soaking the waistband of his shorts, but he didn’t stop. He couldn’t. His muscles strained, his knuckles ached, and his breaths came in ragged pulls, but it wasn’t enough. Nothing was enough.He was exhausted, but it wasn't from the workout. He never got tired of that— but from the torment that had been gnawing at him for days.Katherine was still missing.His woman and his child were taken from him, just like that.His jaw clenched so hard his teeth hurt. His vision was blurred with sweat. He punched harder. Again. Again and Again. The bag groaned under the impact, swinging back only to be struck down again.He still hadn't slept and it darkened his eyes and deepened the bags under his eyes.How could he? How did a man close his eyes knowing his family was out there, vulnerable, while he

CHAPTER 97Wilson stepped up to the entrance of Giovanni’s club, the red neon light above the door making his face look bloodstained. His fingers twitched at his side. He could still turn around. Walk away. Forget all of this.But Lucifer had promised him a life-changing deal. And Wilson wanted in.Mustering the courage he could, he pushed through the doors and disappeared.Cassius followed silently and unseen, watching from a distance as he saw his son disappear. This place was hidden. It wasn't a place you could easily trail except with connections.His idiot son had no idea he was being shadowed. He didn't trust him to be okay all on his own in a game like this.Cassius adjusted his cap and his coat, blending in with the rest of the people before slipping inside. But he was stopped by a scary looking man.“What's the code?” He demanded, eyeing Cassius suspiciously.Cassius froze. Code? He had no idea they used such a thing here. Without wanting to get more suspicious, he adjusted h

CHAPTER 98Amanda stepped into the well ventilated room, her nose catching a whiff of floral spray. She gave a small smile as she set the laundry basket on the bed.Her fingers brushed over neatly folded clothes, a few small personal items… and a book. A journal perhaps. Amanda reached to touch it but then she stopped herself. She shouldn't.She had no business going through Katherine’s things.She knew it.But curiosity had a way of winning.Brushing aside her thoughts she reached out and touched the brown leather. Should she set it aside? It wasn't bad though she was snooping right? She just wanted to make sure all was okay. Since Katherine never really spoke, perhaps she could get some information from her.Katherine's appearance was one that baffled her. It was something that didn’t make her sleep quite well at night. Amanda hadn’t quite figured her out yet. Although she claimed she barely remembered anything, yet certain things about her didn’t add up. It was there in the way sh

CHAPTER 99“We'll be late so don't stay up late waiting for us. The girls are having their nap and please check on baby Elodie from time to time, her fever is rising,” Ethan said, holding his wife closely.Katherine nodded. “But don't you think we should take her to the hospital?”“No!” Amanda snapped, catching Katherine off guard. Then she sighed and rubbed her head. “I'm sorry for overreacting. I've just been really stressed.”Katherine pressed her lips tightly together. “It's fine.”“We can't get Elodie to the hospital. She's very overwhelmed by noises and it would cause her to cry.”“That's normal because she's a baby,” Katherine muttered before she could stop herself.Amanda’s gaze hardened. “We'll get medications on our way back. Lock the doors, close the curtains too and do not open up except its us”“Okay,” Katherine whispered and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. “Um, the kids mentioned playing in the garden. Since the sun is—”“Are you tired of your job, Marilyn?” Eth

CHAPTER 100 Wilson barely breathed as he moved, the wood under his feet betraying him with the faintest creak. His fingers had just curled around the doorknob when his father’s voice cut through the silence.“Wilson.”Cassius' voice was low and hard and coming from the dark.Wilson froze. His back stiffened before he slowly turned his head to find his father, Cassius, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He was watching him intently like he’d been there the whole damn time, waiting.“Where are you going, son?” He demanded softly, his eyes still lingering on him.Wilson felt exposed. As though he had been caught in an unjust act. “Mind your business, Cassius.”“I see,” he whispered.Wilson exhaled sharply, shaking his head. “You're seriously stalking me now?”Cassius didn't answer, instead he waited, expecting an explanation. Who the hell snuck out of their parents house if their intentions were pure?Wilson’s hand tightened on the knob, threatening to turn and leave.“It'
