~ Present ~ Red slowly lifted her gaze and met with Erich's, who was waiting for her at the altar, giving her a profound gaze of endearment, impatient for this day to come and fulfill his desire. "Please take care of my daughter." Mrs Bennet said, handing her precious daughter to Erich. "Don't mention, Mrs Bennet. She is more precious than my life to me." Not removing his eyes from Red, he replied. Knowing the deception of words, his voice came smooth. But to Red's ignorance, His words were pure, not a fake consolation. They stood at the altar and he complimented, "You are looking so graceful yet tempting." "Thanks. But don't forget the reason for our marriage." She replied coldly. "I will keep you happy." He said sincerely, holding her hands. "Just fulfill your obligations." Red swallowed hard, lowering her gaze. The priest cleared his throat and asked, "Shall we start?" They both took a deep breath, looked at each other and said at the same time, "Yes." A tear fell
"But your every path leads to my destination, Erich. Look at you, here you are being all mine. And embed it in your soul, you can never leave me. Today is the proof of it." Red told him with a faint smirk, the truth about the connection of their soul. "I don't know. You are not a part of my life but my very soul resides in you, Red." He confessed, moving away. She took off the corset and turned to him, holding his hands. What can I ask from God when I have you, Red? They were looking down but Erich moved away, pulling his hand back. "Uh.. I will leave, you change." He looked away, she was only in her petticoat, not wanting to look at her. "Wait, help me to hang this heavy dress first." Red stopped him. They hand the wedding dress in the closet and she sighed, "God, it was heavy. Who creates such difficult dresses?" "You." He replied with a chuckle. "Oh yeah. From my best bridal collection. Huff." She shook her head. "Red.. I am supposed to give you a gift for our w
~ 1 Week Later ~"Has our guest arrived?" Lucifer asked, walking after Harry after a meeting. "Yes, Sir. She is at your home." "Hmm. Good." He hummed, using his phone. "By the way, Sir... Are you sure about it?" Harry asked."What do you mean?" Lucifer stopped, turning to Harry. "Sir this method and-""Listen Harry, I have to do it. There's no going back now." "Sir, you are turning into a person you never were." Harry was concerned for his Boss who lost the track of virtue. "I know but I can't take it anymore.""When you can't see her being someone else then why did you let her go in the first place?" Harry asked. "I am already drowning in consternation, Harry. Don't immerse me more." But deep down Lucifer knows the answer of why he let her go."Sir...""I am leaving to meet our guest. You take care of things here." Lucifer ordered and left for home. This is not me, someone who will fall so low. Why can I never forget her last glance? Those tears have my name, they can't exi

"What am I to you?" Red asked, out of blue. "..." Erich remained silent, not knowing what to say."What am I to you, Erich?" She asked again, voice hopeless."A need." He barely managed to speak, pulling his hands away from her and looking down in devastation."I can see a fierce fire in you." He knows he couldn't shut Red like he did with April who said the exact same words."It's my torture." "Losing even after having me?" She asked."You can say." He smiled emptily."What do you gain by doing all this?" The meaning of my life, he replied in his heart, "You." And the word of his lip and heart meant the same."For how long have you known me?" She asked seriously. "It doesn't matter now." He answered,shaking his head."No. I want to know a person I know literally nothing about has all my information- imagine my life was never private." She snapped, vexed, infuriated."It is not like this Red. I swear." Erich's voice became desperate. "I am not like those girls who will be swayed
"Erich, wake up. I have taken out your clothes. Get up and get ready for work." Red woke Erich up, removing curtains and letting the sunlight fall directly on his face."You did?" He asked, yawning and getting up. "Yeah... I have some obligations as your wife." She replied, sitting on the bed. "Thanks... By that I can drop you at work." He offered, getting up."And return?""I will pick you up." He shrugged. "No. You don't have to.""Obligations.... Besides, I can at least do this much for you." He smiled softly. "Whatever. I am waiting for you downstairs." She said, leaving. They both sat down to have breakfast and Erich began to say hesitantly. "Red.. I.. Have a meeting next month." He took a pause before continuing. "So what?" Red shrugged. "...With Lucifer." He completed his sentence, leaving Red stunned for a second. A shiver anticipated with fear went down her spine, lost in mystifying thoughts."Red?" Erich called her. "Wouldn't the price of his ships and your fabrics
After a brief handshake, they sat down. "You must have known why we gathered here." Lucifer said. You're so naive."Of course, I do. We might work in distinguished fields but are indirectly related." Erich replied. As if I am unaware of the reason."And that indirect relation took us here." Lucifer smirked, motioning to start the meeting."I'll have a sixty percent share from the profit. This collaboration will bring a fair price to the public and you'll receive a remarkable benefit, Mr Black." Lucifer said monotonously."Both of us will be benefited, Mr Grave. Your investors will increase.""And your customers. Your name revolves in the world, Mr Black. And by the price where international designers only used to buy fabrics, they can easily get ships as well sounds enticing enough for them." Lucifer explained, leaning back on his seat with a shrug."And that's what your sixty percent profit is for, to compensate for it and not to mention, your services will be increased as well."
A jeering suppressed laugh reached Lucifer's ears, irking him as he was busy working. "Why are you even here?" He asked April who was indulging her champagne while sitting across from him."I am your shrink." She smiled, taking a sip of her drink. He narrowed his eyes and sighed, switching off his laptop and turning to her."Congratulations, Business Partners." She said, putting her one leg over the other. "Who told you about this?" He asked. "You certainly didn't come here without any intentions of making it unsuccessful, aren't you?" She asked with a smirk."What do you want?""I wanna tag along.""Where?""To the party. I am sure Erich would host a party for such an important guest... or perhaps to show him he has lost Red." April said, vexing him but he glared at her to refrain talking about it."I am not taking you anywhere." Lucifer muttered, rolling his eyes. "Aw. That's not fair. Do you want me to tell Erich and Red about your intentions?" She asked. "I am going anyway."
