Chapter 65

Lucifer’s voice cut through the quiet like a sternly, making Katherine whip her head around. “What’s that in your hands?”

Startled, Katherine stumbled against the wall as he stormed past her, his piercing gaze locked onto Riley. His tone was sharp enough to slice through the tension, and Katherine could feel the tension radiating off him like a storm. She gasped, steadying herself with one hand rested against the wall, her pulse racing as she tried to make sense of his sudden outburst.

Riley, standing by the door with the package still resting in her hands, raised an eyebrow at him, unfazed by his aggression. “It’s the package,” she said, holding it up very obviously, so he could see it much more clearly. Her brow furrowed slightly. “I picked it up like you asked me to. Is there a problem?”

Lucifer’s jaw ticked as he closed the distance between them. “That doesn’t look right,” he muttered, snatching the box from her hands with so much force that Riley almost toppled over. H

    CHAPTER 161The envelope sat on his desk like a loaded gun and Giovanni stared at it. His palms braced flat against the wood as he tried to steady his breathing.“It's ready?” He asked, as his throat suddenly went dry.“Yes,” the man said, nodding his head.“Okay,” Giovanni muttered, mostly to himself.His doctor stood quietly nearby, tension lining his face.“Open it,” Giovanni said hoarsely.The doctor hesitated, then carefully tore the seal and unfolded the paper. Giovanni’s eyes followed him closely, and flicked down the page. He froze.Giovanni’s heart thumped and he leaned forward. His voice was as sharp as a newly polished weapon. “Well?”The doctor’s throat bobbed as he swallowed hard. “Sir… it’s… it’s negative.”Giovanni's hand trembled slightly, but not out of fear. He ripped the result out of the doctor's hands as if to see it clearly for himself.This time, it was excitement. He stared at the test result again and the word "negative" burned itself into his mind like firewo

    CHAPTER 160The door burst open with such force that the mirror rattled on its hinge.Katherine jerked up and her breath caught in her throat as Riley stormed in like a hurricane. She kicked over the stool by the vanity and sent it skidding across the room. She didn’t say a word, it was just fury in motion.Katherine flinched and staggered back until her legs hit the edge of the bed. Her heart was already racing. Her mind hadn’t healed from the earlier event. She still recounted the sound of the gun going off, like it was a song on repeat.She barely had time to stand before Riley was on her. Her fingers dug into Katherine’s scalp, yanking the pins free from her carefully set hair, and the curls fell apart in uneven waves.“Wha—what are you doing?” Katherine gasped, reaching up in instinct.“Stand still,” Riley snapped, her voice cold and sharp like a broken glass.Katherine stilled when she felt her fingers at the back of her neck, dragging down the zipper of the wedding gown with mo

    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
