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

CHAPTER 150Lucifer lit a cigarette he had no intention of finishing. Prolly his fifth or sixth. He had lost count. This was the longest he had ever smoked and he was losing it.He couldn't grasp it even though he had seen evidence. It still made no sense to him. He couldn't understand it.The cigar hung between his lips, abandoned, as he paced the length of Cassius’ small kitchen, his mind racing.“She was right beside us all this time, I raised her and trained her,” he muttered. “Riley knew everything. My schedule. My passwords. Where I kept the guns. And this is what she gives me? ”Antonio sat stiffly by the table, arms folded, looking like he was trying to process a nightmare. “And the ways she asked questions,” he muttered to himself rather than to Lucifer. “ Every little thing we said, every plan we made, Riley always found a way to be there.”Lucifer’s jaw tensed. “Almost like she tossed our loyalty in our faces.”Cassius leaned against the counter. “She’s been the leak, Luci

CHAPTER 149The heavy scent of tobacco hung between them as Lucifer leaned against the mahogany desk, staring at the pictures all spread out on the table. Antonio paced nearby, his arms crossed and deep in thought.“What are you planning to do?” Antonio finally asked, trying to keep his tone calm although it came off firm.Lucifer didn’t answer at once. His fingers tapped against the desk, slow and forming a beat. Like he was trying to practise his speech in his head.“I’ve taken lives, Antonio. I’ve got blood on my hands too. What gives me the right to turn anyone in?” He exhaled sharply. “Still... those kids. They’re innocent. I can’t just separate them and dump them into foster care like baggage. That would be inconsiderate.”Antonio finally sank into a chair across from him and glanced at every picture. “This is truly gruesome.”“And disturbing,” Lucifer added. “How they could do that and still live together as one is baffling.”“I live with you as one, don't I?” Antonio teased, c

CHAPTER 148Katherine gripped her fork a little bit too tightly and let her eyes soak in the man before her. Anger burned within her veins and tore at her flesh as he munched away on his meal like everything was normal. “Are you just going to turn this into a shit show?” Giovanni inquired as his eyes crossed hers.“What do you mean?” She asked, setting her fork on the table and leaning back in her chair to take him in fully.“Are you in love with me?” He teases. “Oh you finally realise how handsome I am and you've suddenly seen you're fumbling with a very rare piece of cake.”Katherine twistes her mouth. “If I fumbled this one cake, I would always get it back.”He nods. “Fine. Just go on ahead with your meal. Staring wasn't on the menu.”“I need to know why you are doing this,” Katherine whispered. “First of all, it's getting me things I didn't ask for and now, it's getting me to eat with you.”“And sleep with you,” Giovanni says with a playful smirk. But since you wouldn't let me do

CHAPTER 147The soft yet gentle silence of the room was disturbed by the sharp clicking of heels against the floorboards. Katherine flinched, her hand instinctively tightening around the baby cradled in her arms. Her frown deepened when Riley stepped in, with a dominant look on her face and a smug smile.“Keep it down,” Katherine hissed quietly. “Or you’ll wake him.”Riley’s lips twitched into a smirk. “Oh, relax, I won't wake it but if I do you'll put it back to sleep, won't you?” she said, sweeping her fingers through her sleek hair.“It's no it,” Katherine said in disgust. “Thats my son we are talking about.”“I see, I almost forgot,” she said, almost absent minded.Katherine scowled. “Now what are you here for?”“Don’t start with that look. You might as well get used to seeing me around.”Katherine rolled her eyes. “Why are you doing this, Riley? What kind of thrill do you get from dragging me deeper into your bad decisions?”“Satisfaction maybe,” she said, biting her lower lips

CHAPTER 146“Are you ready to talk about it?” Lucifer asked from the dark corner where he was sitting.His office was dimly lit and a few soft pools of light casted shadows on the walls. Asher stood before him, with a pale face, “I think so.”Lucifer, stared at him, with his eyes flicking to the pile of documents and items Asher had brought back from his parents' house. He had asked Antonio and two other guards to go back with him to get any valuable thing that could be used as evidence.“Have your seat. It's just you and I. I don't want to sound like a therapist right now but yeah I would listen to you. Take as much time.”Asher sank into the chair and swallowed hard before speaking.“I’ve never told anyone besides Katherine, all of this,” he began quietly, his voice betraying the tiredness there. “But I need you to understand everything. About Amanda. About Ethan. About what they did to Katherine and the kids.”Lucifer’s gaze stayed unwavering and he nodded at Asher to urge him on.
