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 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 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 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
