CHAPTER 163

Lucifer stood in the back, his dark eyes locked on the altar. The soft music began playing, violins were struck in slow and sad tunes. It was supposed to be romantic, but to him, it sounded like mourning. He clenched his fists tight and forced his heart to stay still, even though it thudded loudly in his chest.

He had picked the farthest seat on purpose. A quiet corner which was dimly lit. No one would see the chaos going on inside him. No one would see how he was breaking.

Then the doors opened and his eyes turned sharply.

The lights dimmed everywhere else but focused on one spot — her. Katherine.

She stepped in like she was walking straight out of a film and she was the main character. The train of her dress trailed behind gleaming like royalty, and the fabric shimmered softly under the light.

Her slim hands wrapped the trembling bouquet in her grip. She held her head low, but even like that, she looked breathtaking. Beautiful in a way that made his chest tighten.

    CHAPTER 184By dawn, they had left.The sky was still gray when Giovanni’s helicopter sliced through the early light, its blades whispering over a world that didn’t yet know what had happened underground.They had made sure to clean any evidence of them there, so they couldn't be traced. It was when they had finished that Lucifer had sent for his helicopter.No one said a word before they boarded and now that they were in the air, no one spoke.Lucifer leaned back in his seat, his arm still aching from where Riley had shot it clean through. The medics had worked fast, binding the wound and sedating the pain. But the ache remained sharp, like her last gift to him was pain.Or maybe it was just her memory clinging to him like the scent of gunpowder on his shirt.But in his arms, asleep like she had nothing left to fear, was his everything.Katherine.She was sticky with dried blood, sweat, and ash and still wearing the same clothes she'd fought through hell in. But soft now. Still, her

    CHAPTER 183“Not if you die first,” Katherine said, her voice calm yet sly, as she stepped out into the open where they were.Riley’s eyes widened. The crimson stain bloomed beneath her fingers as she clutched her stomach, blood oozing fast through her palms and white hot pain consumed her.Her knees buckled and she staggered forward as another shot hit her in the same spot and then, she collapsed onto Lucifer, knocking the breath out of him.Lucifer caught her out of instinct, his arms locking around her weight, trying to support it. But his eyes weren’t on her.They were on Katherine.He stared at her, stunned. Like a man watching a ghost drag herself out of the grave. She looked wrecked, filthy, bruised, with dried blood on her neck and in her hair but damn… she was fine. The kind of fine that snatched the breath from your lungs, even in the middle of hell. Her eyes welled when she looked at him.But she blinked it back, fast.She had to stand on business first.It felt like a dre

    CHAPTER 182Riley stepped forward, dragging Valar by the collar, with his face scratched, and his breath heavy. “You backstabbing bastard,” she spat. “You know, I was going to reconsider our contract but you were plotting how you would have my guts on a tray.”Don shrugged. “You are nothing on your own Riley and that's what breaks you.”“I hate to do this,” she said with venom coating every word, “but I think you’re better off without an arm.”Before anyone could move, her gun went off. And the sound echoed off. Lucifer stepped backwards. Don’s scream split the room and he hit the ground, clutching what had once been his only functioning hand, now blown open, torn and blood-soaked. The robotic arm sparked lifelessly beside him, twitching like a broken puppet. He screamed again, louder this time, writhing in agony, rolling over as blood pulsed from the wound. His teeth gnashed, grinding through pain too savage to process.Riley stepped forward again and stomped her boot down hard on t

    CHAPTER 181 Katherine’s limbs trembled as she climbed down the seemingly endless ladder, the metal rails slick with grime and rust. Her thighs ached, her palms burned, and the torch clenched between her teeth filled her mouth with the bitter taste of smoke and oil. The stench down there was unbearable. It reeked of rot, sewage, and something far worse clinging to the air like a curse.Flies buzzed relentlessly at her ears, their almost invisible wings brushed her skin as though eager to crawl inside her. Gagging, she paused, trying to adjust her footing. She lifted one leg to lower herself farther— and she slipped.Her scream echoed in the silence, out of fear of what she could crash into but rather, she crashed into something wet.Water.But it was thick.Her torch flew from her mouth, the flame sputtering somewhere in the dark. Water—no, not water but it clung to her skin. Slick, warm, and sticky. She was submerged waist-deep in it, and the moment she inhaled, the smell slapped he

    CHAPTER 180Don stepped out slowly, his polished boots crunching over the blood-slick floor. His eyes trailed over the bodies of his fallen guards, and his brow lifted in dry amusement rather than rage.Well,” he said with a chilling grin. “The infamous devil in the flesh.”Lucifer aimed his gun without hesitation.But Don held up his phone.“One move, and this feed goes live,” he grinned. “You know what happens next.”Lucifer’s jaw clenched. “I’ll kill you.”“So…” he drawled, meeting Lucifer’s eyes, “you’ve forgotten the rules of the underworld.”Lucifer flashed him a cold look. “You don’t get to talk to me about rules,” he said, his voice sharp as broken glass. “Not when you take what isn’t yours from someone who owes you nothing… and still refuse to give it back.”Don chuckled, low and dark. “I’m not stupid, Lucifer. I get what I want. I eat my cake… and I have it too.”Lucifer’s glare didn’t falter. “I didn’t come here for war.”Don spread his arms wide, gesturing toward the corps

    CHAPTER 179Lucifer crouched low on the rooftop of the building across from Don's villa. He was dressed in black all through and the wind flapped his jacket. He was sure that if a young child somewhere across the world peeked outside their window, they would think Batman was real and in the city.His eyes locked on the compound below, with his mouth pressed into a line as he watched. Beside him, Giovanni was down on one knee, breathing steady and clad in similar outfit. Lucifer lifted the binoculars. The place was moving with guards. A few more guards had shifted to the east wing. They were pacing now with their guns in their hands. They didn't panic but they knew something was off.“They’ve moved,” Lucifer muttered. “Three by the east. Two at the back. One near the garage.”Giovanni squinted. “He’s tightened the exits.”Lucifer dropped the binoculars and reached into his pocket and pulled out the small radio. It clicked once.“Antonio. Are you in?”“We’re in,” he called back statica
