The frightful aura emitted by the devil king in the backseat was inevitable to ignore. Steven Anderson, Lucifer's chauffeur gulped seeing Lucifer's deadly eyes brooding through the rearview mirror.
Lucifer picked up a call and his face scrunched wickedly.
"Did you find him yet?" Lucifer interrogated.
"He is back in the US, sir," The person spoke from the other side. He is trying his best not to stutter and be professional as much as possible.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Find his location as soon as you can, alright?"
"Yes sir."
He hung up the phone and tossed it on the seat. He closed his eyes and rubbed his throbbing forehead. Alejandro that bastard!
He is going to have a taste of his own medicine. Does he dare to turn his men against him?! Lucifer and Alejandro had a major dispute in the Underworld in the past three years.
Alejandro had agreed to cooperate in the illegal trades and the benefits that they could have reaped were extensive.
But, that scum decided to sell him out by leaking out the confidential information of the company and used it to his advantage.
Lucifer had sworn he would hunt him down no matter what.
Just as he had started to scheme against Alejandro. His Black Bently is thrown off the road by a Truck. The car somersaulted as if it were a toy.

Angela had just woken up from her short nap. She had no emergency cases today and she submitted her Thesis paper as well.
She couldn't help but grin like a child since Dr Charles had praised her performance. He said she had to potential to be a Professor after the interview. The look on Dr Claire's face was priceless, so that coloured her smile even more.
Sara had decided to waste her money on some star bucks and Mc Donalds today. She hopped excitedly inside Angela's office with big brown bags.
"Lunchtime Dr Angel!" Sara beamed.
"Can you not call me that stupid nickname?" Angela cringed. She could even feel the goosebumps climbing on her arm hearing it.
"Oops! My bad!" The nickname was so popular now that Sara forgets how much Angela hated it. After placing the food on the table Sara sat on a swivel chair rubbing her tummy.
"And you are preggy you know? You shouldn't run so carelessly," Angela chided. Sara is in her third month. And ever since Sara told her she is pregnant Angela had become annoyingly protective over her clumsy ass friend.
"I'll take leave next month! I have to spend some time with my hubby you know?" Sara chomped on her big mac like a ravenous she-wolf.
"That's good, Ben must have missed spending some quality time with you,"
"That's true...hey do you hear something ticking?" Sara asked.
"What?"
"Your Biological clock," Sara teased.
"Oh cut the crap!" Angela snapped, scowling as she ate her Burger.
"I mean you are already 30! Your ovaries must be hating you right now!" Sara teased her relentlessly. The look on Angela's face was precious though. It was worth it. Jeez, these pregnancy hormones are making her wicked.
"I don't want a relationship not now at least," Being a virgin at her age is like a rare disease. She had been in a relationship before in med school but it turned out her ex already had a girlfriend outside the country.
She couldn't forget the slap she had got from his girlfriend. The heat of her palm is still residing on Angela's left cheek.
Ouch!
Not that she shunned men. It was because most men desire a woman who can satisfy their physical needs. And even women do too.
She wasn't a physical person and she could even appear resistant to those things.
"You should try to find someone you know? There is plenty of fishes in the sea girl!" Sara ranted, The only person who had a problem with her being single is others.
Angela perfectly took control of her life for over a decade and she never needed help from a man. For her, a husband was a luxury and she did not want that luxury in her life.
"The sea is full of trash, my friend. If you keep ranting like this you will choke on your food!" Sara pouted at her retort.
Just as Sara was about to talk back Nurse Alina came running down to her office informing her that there is an emergency. And it was an accident.
Sara let out a frustrated whine, she had not finished wolfing down her lunch yet and work had already come calling. They hurriedly packed their food back in the bag and stormed out to check on the patients.
The large doors of the main building were swarmed by reporters. All of them were painstakingly controlled by the security team and there were also additional men trying to keep the paparazzi entering inside. She guessed they were the patient's bodyguards.
"The patient must be a VIP," She heard Sara mutter behind her. Dr Dion found her; giving her a stern glare even though he didn't mean to. That's just the way he looked when there is a serious case.
"The patient is Lucifer Camphell. The CEO of the Camphell Enterprises," Dr Dion explained hurriedly. "If we fail then we are dead, so no mistakes should be made. Understood?" Dr Charles ordered scanning everyone with his blaring eyes.
"Yes, Dr!"
Anglea examined the man who is profusely bleeding from his head and his abdomen as well. Looked like he needed an urgent transfusion.
The nurses were amazed at how handsome the man looked even at his dire state and even more amazed how Dr Angela was not fazed by his looks. Well, she is an adept person after all.
She instructed the nurses to check his vitals and his BP was too low. This is bad. He also had internal bleeding from the blunt trauma.
"Was he alone in the car?" She asked the man who had escorted the patients here.
"No, his driver was with him too," He said, sounding hesitant.
Another man came screaming emergency and this time in the stretcher was his driver.
Angela gently tilted the oxygen mask and there was no smell of alcohol...
"How did the accident occur?" She inquired.
"They were hit by a truck...we saw them and called the ambulance," He stated. She grimaced upon hearing this. What kind of a spineless person will leave them like this?
"Take them to the OT immediately!" Dr Dion commanded. The patients were taken to the OR for further treatment but Lucifer Camphell needed urgent AB- blood which was insufficient in their blood banks.
The only other person who possessed AB- blood other than Lucifer was Angela. She agreed to the blood donation and after several tests, her blood was drawn out for the surgery.
It was after the four-hour surgery Dr Charles and Dr Johnas had suggested moving him into the VIP ward.
"IF we had not gotten the AB- blood then that man would have been goners," Said Dr Charles patting Angela's shoulders. Angela chuckled weakly maybe it was the man's luck that saved his life because his driver was already dead.
Lucifer opened his eyes, tightening his face as the sharp rays of daylight pierced his eyes. It responded as if he had woken after one hundred years of slumber.He blinked several times until he could finally adjust the light in his eyes."How are you feeling now?" A woman's voice asked. Lucifer moved his head to the left, he saw a woman in a white coat wearing a blue shirt underneath. Her wavy cinnamon brown hair tied into a neat ponytail, her starry brown eyes staring right at his obsidian ones."Who..." He gave her a scrutinising look."I am a doctor as you can see," She said with a polite smile. "How are you feeling Mr Camphell?"He looked around to examine his surroundings. They were in the VVIP ward in the upper realm of the hospital. The room looked like a hotel room rather than a hospital ward.He looked at his body which was covered in dressings. Even his head was shaven."I am..." He looke
After completing her interview for her promotion of becoming a professor, Angela's face spread into bliss. She was nervous before but she kept her cool during the whole process.She got a positive response from the chief Surgeons so that made her confident to ace it. But she couldn't count the chickens before hatching.She had to patiently wait for the results to come out."Ouch," A sweet child-like voice squealed below her. Angela was so tranced that she had not noticed a little girl running into her."Oh, I am so sorry!" Anglea knelt down to meet the little girl's eye level. The girl cried with a high pitched voice. Hearing the girl cry so loudly people were giving hostile glances at Angela.She did not mean to make this girl cry okay?!"Please don't cry dear," Angela coaxed. she looked at the child with tender eyes. "Does it hurt anywhere, dear?" She asked. Looking back and forth at her frail little bod
Lucifer's hand ran through his dear daughter's raven hair like a gentle feather; his bottomless eyes pooling out with endless adoration for her.Ever since his accident occurred he had not gotten a glimpse of his daughter. But right now he wanted to relish her as much as possible.Andrew keenly watched over his master's room so no one would cause an interruption to their father-daughter moment. Meanwhile, her Nanny Griselda waited nervously outside. The old woman was sure to die from paranoia right now.Andrew noticed her fiddling with the hem of her long black skirt while glancing at the door with her scared graying eyes every 3 seconds."It's not your fault Griselda, young miss can be really a handful sometimes," Andrew broke the dreading silence sparing a pitiful expression at her. "But master won't be convinced. I should have kept her close..." Griselda seized her eyes away from them out of guilt. Lucifer's
A delightful smile spread across Angela's lips encountering the little girl she had met a few minutes before. Alicia's smile mirrored Angela's and the girl's eyes danced with innocent joy.Andrew stepped inside the elevator followed by Griselda and a few other men wearing the same back suits as his. Andrew watched Angela from the corner of his eyes.His young miss really seems to like her huh?"Uncle Andrew! She is the doctor who helped me see daddy!" Alicia cheered looking intently at Angela as if she wanted something from her."Thank you for taking care of Our Young miss," Griselda thanked her on behalf of Andrew."No, it was no biggie," Angela said, her smile turned awkward all of a sudden. She was going to head to the Cafeteria for some lunch.Since had skipped her breakfast and her hunger surged inside her belly. It was a surprise that no one heard her stomach growling grumpily for some food.A
*DING*Angela stepped outside the Elevator to the VIP section, her strides grew heavy as she closed in with Lucifer's room. Suddenly, she bumped into an unfamiliar face."Sorry," It was a man; wearing a long black baggy hoodie under his grimy green Janitor's clothing. His hood hung low covering the portion above his nose.He excused himself and proceeded to the stairs. The elevator was empty...why would he take the stairs? Maybe it's because it was mainly reserved for Doctors and other visitors or perhaps he had to clean the stairs.Nevertheless, she overlooked it. She approached the door to enter the pin and unlock it. A head cocked out of the stairs reading her fingers as she pressed the numbers. "2 5 8 6," He said to himself repeatedly until it was engraved in his memory. The double doors slid open and she entered the room."Mr. Camphell? Are you here?" She asked, noticing the bed was empty.
Angela stood on the far corner of the compact Elevator. She couldn't explain how embarrassed she felt. She wanted to argue with Lucifer but she didn't want to disturb the patient's rest.If it wasn't for that then she probably wouldn't back down from using her sharp tongue.The elevator door opens up to the second floor.Angela's attention shifted to Dr. Leon. He entered and leaned to the corner opposite her for some support.He clung to the cold side like a lizard, his eyes fatigued."Did you eat yet?" Inquired Angela. Dr. Leon groaned."No, not yet. I had an emergency patient and couldn't even sit down," Being a doctor is such a hard job. He had run back forth from each ward to check on the patients and help prepare medical reports for Dr. Davis."Then go and eat," Urged Angela, feeling Sympathetic. Poor Leon. He must be bullied a lot by the seniors. She had to face that a lot when she worked as a
"What is going on here?" Andrae jolts towards Angela grabbing her shoulders. Keeping the gun pointing at her head he yelled. "Stay right there or I'll shoot her!" "No don't!" Cried, Dion. As if Dion's legs turned themselves into stone, he froze on the spot. Sweat prickled his skin like needles, his eyes swung from Andrae's to Angela's like a pendulum. "Don't you dare touch her!" Lucifer barked with a seething glare. If this fucker shoots her then he will make him regret being born in this world. Andrae paid no attention to Lucifer as he was plotting a way to escape right now. He couldn't bring himself to kill Angela but he needed Dion out of the way so he could escape without being caught. But that would be impossible since there are too many people present here. Or he could just escape by the deserted stairs. Suddenly, Angela knocked her elbow into Andrae's diaphragm. He gaped painfull
Angela stood at the entrance watching Andrae being taken by the police. She had requested them to go easy on him because of his injuries.Andrew had abused him so hard, one more punch and Andrae would be granted a one-way ticket to heaven. She had also asked the cops if he could get bailed.It was permissible since he is a minor but since it's a murder attempt it would become hard for him to get bailed."Are you worried about that kid?" Asked Dion looking down at her. Upclose he could measure her height which was around 160cm. Her reached head was just below his shoulder.He found her short height kinda cutesy."Mhmm" She answered bluntly. Andrae turned towards the glass pane at the back of the police car. He smiled at her. It wasn't a malicious one rather It was a warm and genuine smile.She smiled back and the car disappeared into the further distance.Dion rubbed his temples frustratingly and asked. "H
