CHAPTER 172

The sound of clack of cuffs echoed through the room as Katherine’s wrists were yanked behind her. The strange man tightened the cold metal roughly in such a way that she couldn't move them but she didn’t flinch.

Instead, she lifted her chin and looked him dead in the eyes. Her face was smeared with streaks of blood, some were still wet along the corner of her mouth.

Her dark eyes gleamed with mischief and danger and then, as if mocking the tension between the man and her, she smiled.

“You’re completely insane,” the man muttered, shoving her down onto a chair, his chest heaving slightly as he caught his breath.

Katherine let her tongue slip across her bottom lip, tasting the metallic tang, while her lazy and cold gaze took him in. All of him

“I don’t usually get like this,” she murmured, in a low and almost playful voice. “Except when I’m starved.”

Her smile broadened as she looked away slowly. “And I’ve been starved… of everything.”

The man’s eyes flicked across her face

    CHAPTER 189A WEEK LATER.The night air buzzed with soft music and laughter. Katherine had insisted she didn’t want a grand affair, one that wouldn't make us targets. She also didn't want no ballrooms, no press, no velvet aisles. Just the people who mattered.And Lucifer made it happen.The house glowed under delicate lanterns strung across the courtyard. Tables had been laid out with linen cloths and fine dishes— roasted lamb, seafood paella, stuffed peppers, fresh fruit platters, glasses of vintage wine.It wasn’t lavish. It was personal and intimate.Katherine wore a simple white silk dress and her curls pinned loosely with baby’s breath tucked between. She sat beside Lucifer at the head table, his hand resting protectively over hers. On her other side sat Madelaine, who kept brushing imaginary lint off her dress and grinning like she knew every adult present in the room.Cassius, Wilson, Valar, Antonio, Giovanni, Asher, Lo and even Madame Tricia who had left due to Lucifer’s order

    Chapter 188“Katherine, please—” Lucifer reached for her.She flinched. “Don’t. Don’t touch me right now.”Tears burned behind her eyes and her chest heaved.“I never want to see him again. And if you ever bring him near me or my children, I swear to God—”Lucifer nodded solemnly. “Okay. Okay.”“No,” she whispered, shaking her head. “You're lying and I don't like it.”“It’s true,” Giovanni said gently. “I didn’t know for most of your life. But we found out a few weeks ago. The DNA test confirms it.”“Shut up,” she snapped at him and turned to Lucifer. “What DNA test is he talking about?”Cassius spoke next. “Listen, Katherine, you've got to calm down. I mean it's normal to be angry and feel like this but please hear us out.”“No,” she said louder. “I’m not doing this. I won’t.”Lucifer rose. “Katherine—”“No!” she snapped. “Don’t ‘Katherine’ me. This is insanity. Giovanni is not my father. He never was. For God's sake Lucifer, he tried to kiss me, marry me and you say he's my father.

    CHAPTER 187Katherine froze the moment she stepped into the restaurant with Lucifer. Her heels clicked once against the polished floor before her entire body stilled like she’d hit a wall of ice. The room was dimly lit, private, quiet and everything Lucifer had promised. But not everyone he’d promised.She saw them before Lucifer could distract her.Giovanni. Cassius. And Wilson.She swallowed hard and clenched her fists.“What is he doing here?” she asked, not taking her eyes off Giovanni. Her voice was sharp but low, as she tried to control the anger that brewed inside her.Lucifer gently touched her elbow. “Katherine—please. Just… compose yourself. Come sit.”She turned to him, her lips curled downward and her eyes burned. “Compose myself?”Lucifer ran his fingers through his hair. “I’ll explain everything later. Just trust me tonight.”Her breathing became shallow. “You told me this was a family thing. That it was going to be intimate. That it was about us.”“It still is,” he sai

    CHAPTER 186Weeks passed like a dream Katherine didn’t want to wake up from. Mornings were warm and slow, filled with the scent of food, soft giggles, sleepy kisses, and the quiet hum of safety. She watched the girls flourish too. Adelaide had started sketching animals and Madeleine had a newfound obsession with astronomy. She got them tools that matched their newfound interests and Lucifer read bedtime stories with a calm she never thought he was capable of.She really did underestimate that man.And little Noah, he had begun to practise taking two steps and multiple falls. But besides that, his laughter filled through the house like sunlight on a bright morning.One afternoon, Katherine brought up school over lunch. Katherine, brushing stray grains of rice off Madeleine's cheek, turned to Lucifer. “I've been thinking. The girls are old enough right? What do you think about us enrolling the girls?”But Lucifer didn’t say anything then. He simply hummed, kissed her forehead, and chan

    CHAPTER 185Katherine followed closely behind Lucifer, her fingers woven tightly in his. The corridor was quiet, only for the occasional creak of the old hardwood floors beneath their feet.Her bare feet padded softly as they approached the final door at the end of the hall.She was nervous, but more curious than anything. What surprise? she wondered. Her mind ran through possibilities— maybe a private dinner, maybe a gift. But nothing seemed to fit. Not with the glint in his eyes and the faint smile tugging at the edge of his lips.He stopped in front of the door, turning toward her. “You ready?”She nodded. “Yeah.”Lucifer pushed the door open and balloons burst outward in a colorful wave, floating and bobbing around their legs. Katherine gasped, her hands flying to her mouth.“Oh my God…” she said in awe. “Aww this is so pretty.”“Wait till you see what I have for you,” Lucifer said as he led her in.Inside, the room was transformed. Streamers draped across the ceiling: WELCOME HOM

    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
