With trembling hands, I reached for the door handle, hesitating before stepping out. I turned back to look at him one more time, searching his face for some kind of explanation. But Lucifer simply watched me, his calm, unreadable expression still in place.

The door clicked shut behind me, and I stood on the pavement, staring at my aunt’s house as the limo pulled away into the night.

I was home. But his words echoed in my mind, sending a chill down my spine.

*I’ll see you tomorrow.*

    Just then, a strange noise echoed from the far corner. I froze, my heart beginning to race as I listened, straining to make out what it was. The noise was soft at first, like a distant wail carried by a breeze, but it grew louder, transforming into a sound unmistakably human—a child’s cry. Each faint sob pulled at something deep inside me, urging me forward. Before I knew it, I was walking toward the sound, my body moving of its own accord. At the farthest corner, in a space shrouded in shadows, I saw her—a small figure curled up on the floor, shoulders trembling as she cried. Her dark hair spilled over her face, and she looked heartbreakingly small, lost in this vast room. I took a hesitant step closer, my voice soft, wary. “Are you okay?” She didn’t answer. Her cries continued, piercing, each sob rattling me, making my pulse race. Slowly, I moved closer, bending down to gently touch her shoulder. As my hand hovered over her, she suddenly lifted her he

    “Wait here,” he told her softly, then turned his attention back to me. “Very well, Lucien. Let’s talk.” I led him down the hall, away from her, not stopping until we reached the small antechamber at the end. Closing the door behind us, I faced him, letting the silence stretch between us before speaking. “Have you thought this through?” I asked, careful to keep my tone respectful but firm. “What you’re doing with her… what are your intentions?” His expression hardened, the amusement fading from his eyes. “Are you questioning me, Lucien?” I held his gaze, the weight of his words pressing on me, but I couldn’t back down now. “I’m concerned, my lord. Selene… she doesn’t know the things you’re capable of. And she certainly doesn’t understand what you might intend to do with her.” Lucifer’s mouth curved into a smirk, though it held no humor. “You think you know what I intend, Lucien? Or do you believe you’re more a

    My heart skipped a beat. “You’re telling lies” “hmm.” He leaned closer, his face inches from mine, and I could feel his breath warm against my skin. “I don’t want to be without you. You are really Entertaining .” " That's not something you should say to someone, you wish to sleep with " I furrow my brows and he smile " Punish me then " his words were raw, with an intensity, I don't know I felt myself drawn in, unable to resist. His hand moved to the back of my neck, his fingers tangling gently in my hair. He was so close now that I could see every fleck of darkness in his eyes, every hint of lust in them. “Tell me to stop,” he whispered, his voice barely more than a breath, his lips so close that his words were almost a part of me. But I didn’t tell him to stop. I couldn’t. My heart was pounding too hard, my body already leaning in, surrendering to the inevitable pull that had always been th

    “Very funny,” I said, feeling my cheeks flush again at his words. I crossed my arms, trying to mask the effect he was having on me. “I think I’ll take my chances on my own, thanks.” He let out a dramatic sigh, leaning back again, his hand over his heart. “Such cruelty, Selene. But I can handle it. After all, I’m devilishly resilient.” “That you are,” I muttered, trying not to smile. “I’ll give you that much.” He seemed pleased by my acknowledgment, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. “See, I knew you were warming up to me.” I let out a huff. “I’m tolerating you, Lucifer. That’s all.” “Ah, but tolerance is the first step to appreciation,” he said, his tone smooth as silk. “And who knows? One day, you might find that you actually like having me around.” “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” I replied, giving him a pointed look. “Right now, I’m just trying to make it through the day without wanting

    Then his gaze shifted, his piercing red eyes meeting mine, and he let the file drop casually onto the desk. A slow, knowing smile spread across his lips, and I knew instantly he was already plotting some sort of teasing remark. “Well, good morning,” he greeted, his voice low and warm. I exhaled, tilting my head slightly. “Lucifer.” “Ah, you say my name so sweetly, as if it’s the only thing on your mind,” he said, his smile widening just a little, the glasses adding a touch of sophistication to his already magnetic presence. He leaned back, crossing his arms as he continued to watch me with that smug amusement. “Trust me, it’s not,” I replied, crossing my arms in response, trying to maintain some distance between us — emotionally and physically. I knew better than to let his charm pull me in. He arched a brow, clearly unfazed by my response. “Hmm. And here I thought I’d be at the top of your list this morning. After all, you did come to my study, unannounced and unsupervised. I mu

    Lila woke to the sound of nothing. The room was flooded with the kind of bright, aggressive sunlight that only exists in Lagos, cutting through the floor-to-ceiling glass in wide, blinding strips. She reached out a hand, expecting to find the heat of a body or the rough texture of a shirt, but the b

    The fourth night, there was no teasing. There were no games, no silk ropes, and no long, whispered monologues designed to make her head spin. The air in the room felt different the moment he stepped through the glass—heavier, charged with a blunt, honest hunger that did away with the need for a slow

    On the third night, he didn't come empty-handed. When he stepped through the balcony door, the city lights behind him seemed to fade into the background, leaving only the shadow of him and the small, dark bundle he held in one hand. Lila’s breath caught in her lungs, a sharp, hitching sound that ech

    He came at 12:03 a.m. exactly. Lila had spent the last hour watching the digital clock on her nightstand, the red numbers burning into her retinas. She had been naked for a long time, the air in the room beginning to feel heavy and static. Her heart was hammering so hard she could feel the thud o
