CHAPTER 159Giovanni and the doctor walked out side by side and he glared at him for a little too long. The doctor scratched his head as he waited for the man.“When would the result be out?” he asked.“In three days, Sir,” the doctor whispered. “What do you mean in three days?” Giovanni said sharply. “I'm going to get married today.”The doctor put his hands in his pants. He had come casually due to Giovanni’s request, so as not to give anything out. “It can't be hastened sir. I don't know how important it is, but if it would affect the wedding then it has to wait. The result can't be rushed, sir, I'm sorry.”Giovanni clenched his fists in anger. “Fine. If it would affect it then when the result is out, make sure you bring it straight to me. Not to my guards. But to me.”“Yes sir, have a great day,” the doctor said and walked off.Lucifer came out from across the corner where he waited. He saw the look of discomfort on Giovanni’s face and gave a small smile. “Going great?” he asked

CHAPTER 158Before they left together, Giovanni turned and gave a small wave to his guards. “Tell Riley to keep the guests busy and if they ask about the couple, tell them there's a little problem. In all you do, make sure the whole place is secure. If you sense a wrong move, don't hesitate to fire.”“And check on my lady frequently. If anything goes wrong. I'll kill you all. It's not a threat, it's a promise,” he whispered like he was teasing a child.Some guards went upstairs to check on Katherine. Another signaled the others to shut down the main ballroom so no one left or walked in. Guests muttered in confusion and the Music died.Lucifer followed him into a private chamber behind the altar, where guards were behind them with guns.“Could you ask your robots not to point their guns at my neck?” He said.“They would be outside so that's not much of a bother.”When they entered the room, Giovanni shut the door. “Speak.”Lucifer watched the man carefully. “You can't get married to Ka

CHAPTER 157Lucifer adjusted the cuffs of his black shirt, standing before the full-length mirror, without blinking. His reflection stared back at him in a cold, dangerous, and composed way.Today was the day he had waited for. It was the beginning of Giovanni’s ruin. The beginning of retribution. And the day he sees his family.He combed back his hair, slowly. Like a barber, before the big chop. He was so invested in his looks thst he didn't hear the first knock come.After a moment, the knock came again. A bit persuasive this time.Lucifer’s eyes didn’t leave the mirror. He muttered a silent, “Come in.”The door was pushed open and one of his guards entered, with his head slightly bowed, but his brows furrowed like he didn’t know how to speak.“Boss—”“What is it?” Lucifer asked in a sharp but calm voice.He coughed. “There’s… a package, sir.”“From who?” Lucifer said, his hand pausing at the cuffs on his wrist.The guard shifted uneasily. “There’s no label. No sender. Just… a note.

CHAPTER 156The mirror didn’t lie. It rarely did.Katherine stared at her reflection. Her gown looked flawless and consumed her small frame just like a princess. Her makeup was expertly done, while her hair was swept into a soft bun. A white veil waited on the side, pinned delicately to a mannequin head. She looked like a bride. Elegant. Perfect.Like something she would have dreamed of not from a storybook, but from the movies and from the magazines.But her eyes betrayed her. They were swollen, red-rimmed and barely masked by concealers and worst of all, her nose was runny. She dumped the hundredth tissue in the bin beside her. The ache inside her didn’t care for foundation or setting spray.Her makeup artist was kind and patient. She was a girl with warm brown eyes, like a coffee on a good morning and a soft laugh. She didn’t ask questions. She faced her job professionally and cheered her up with jokes when she seemed down.She simply dabbed, blended, and reassured. “Third time’s

CHAPTER 155Katherine dreaded those last few days at the manor. The manor felt colder and tighter. Everything buzzed with activities, flowers, caterers and fittings but inside her, there was nothing but silence. Dread sat in her chest like a stone. She wanted to run, scream, hide. But there was no leaving. Not when her son was still under this roof. Not when Giovanni still held the key to her freedom. And as for the devil, she hadn't seen him since the last time."Stand still," Riley muttered, pulling the corset strings tighter.Katherine groaned. “That’s too tight. Riley, I can’t breathe.”"You have to look smart and composed. It’s your big day,” Riley chirped, standing behind her with a full-length mirror in front of them.“Big day indeed,” Katherine murmured.The white gown flowed down in soft layers, the delicate lace trailing over her arms and collarbones. It should have been a dream dress. But today it felt like mourning wear.“I don’t want this,” Katherine whispered.“I know,”

CHAPTER 154Riley felt uncomfortable. She had tried to dress very casually and look neutral at best but she still looked off against her will.“Hi man,” she muttered when Lucifer walked in and flashed him an all knowing smile.“I thought I was never going to see you again,” Lucifer teased, bringing in a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. “You're scarce around here.”“I've been busy lately man and I get it. That was mean of me. I should have been more involved with you,” she said in a small voice. “You got yourself a boyfriend and felt it was cool not to tell me,” he scoffed.Riley twisted her fingers into her laps. “He told you?”“He's been unable to focus,” he said.Riley let out a sigh. “I've just been really busy.”“You look like you've seen darker days and those bags under your eyes may appreciate a little ice.”Riley let out a low chuckle. “Screw you cain.”“You've trimmed your hair again,” he observed.Riley smirked. “One doesn't get tired of change, do they?”“I guess they d

CHAPTER 153The envelope that came to him was thick, black, and unbranded, except for the red wax seal which was the form of a serpent biting its own tail.Lucifer stared at it for a moment, contemplating on what to do with it. Antonio was the one who had picked it up from the doorstep that morning, brought it into the house without a word, and placed it on the table in front of him.Now they both stood still, with only the sound of their breaths ringing in the silence.“Bullshit,” Lucifer whispered as he took the envelope and cracked the seal.Inside was a single ivory card, elegant and simple, bordered in gold. The message was handwritten in crisp black ink, that seemed both charming and dangerous.You are cordially invited to the union of Katherine Cassius and Giovanni Ivanovo.Date: Two weeks from today.Venue: Undisclosed. Details to follow.Dress code: Regal.Gifts optional. Your silence is the only requirement.Lucifer folded the card slowly, like it was laced with poison. His

CHAPTER 152Asher stood on the pavement outside the police station, the morning air biting at his cheeks. His hands gripped tightly onto the straps of two duffel bags slung over his shoulders. It was as though his whole life was stuffed into them.The morning sun cast long shadows across the concrete, but it didn’t feel like a new beginning. Not yet but a tolerable one.“Are you alright?” Lucifer asked him“Yes I am, just overwhelmed,” he whispered and heaved a deep sigh.The sound of fast footsteps behind made him turn. Out of ptsd."Uncle!" two voices rang out in unison.The two little girls ran straight past Asher and latched onto Lucifer’s legs, burying their faces in the dark fabric of his coat.Lucifer looked down at them, his usually cold eyes softening. He rested a hand on each of their heads. "You two okay?"They nodded against him.Asher gave a small smile and stepped forward. Antonio was there too, waiting beside Lucifer, his arms crossed on his chest and sunglasses on desp

CHAPTER 151Riley couldn’t breathe right. Not in this house. Not anymore. She pressed her back to the stone wall of the hallway, with heart thudding and ears sharp. She picked every sound, every footsteps, whispers, and the slightest creak of doors—felt louder now. Like alarms, warnings or maybe countdowns.Ever since Giovanni had warned her to watch her back because information of her was out, she had been restless. If it had gotten to the devil's ears, she was doomed.And Giovanni, he had started locking Katherine away, thinking she could flee at any given time. She was determined and things had changed. Things became tighter. Colder. People whispered more. Guards watched her more. She wasn’t sure if it was suspicion or guilt clawing at her insides but either way, she didn’t feel safe. Not even with the monster she’d betrayed the devil for.Not even with Giovanni.She was bored of being indoors, of being kept away from Katherine. She liked to fool with the little beast. She was fun
