All Chapters of Lucifer's angel : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Mom what's going on?" Iris rubbed her sleepy eyes with the back of her hand. This was three in the morning and her mom had just woken her up with so much haste."No time for questions." Her mother looked at her with a sad but alert look. She pointed at the corner, "I've already packed your bags and your sister's. Let's go. " She rushed to the bed opposite Iris. Her two year old was fast asleep. She picked her up and placed her carefully on her shoulder. "Mom... Is everything ok?" Iris asked she had worn her leather boots and had a black furry sweater on. Her face was etched with worry. Every ounce of sleep gone."Let's go, honey. I'll explain once we leave here." Her mother replied, her voice calm but her eyes stayed alert. Iris nodded her head once and followed her mom who had already rushed out of the room. Her heart racing in her chest. She couldn't shake the feeling that something really bad was going to happen.The cold early morning air bit against her skin.Her dad just d

Three hours earlier..."She's meant to pay in all ways possible for her father's sins Cassian. You and I know what that means." A blonde haired woman no older than her late twenties said. She calmly looked at the man in front of her . Her red manicured fingernails kept clicking on her desk with a rhythmic pattern, like she was counting down seconds.Cassian didn't raise his eyes from the kitten laying on his lap. "She'll be useful. You know that Bella." The woman's lips pressed into a thin line. A scowl alreday forming."What the f*** are you talking about?"She shoved her chair back and rose on her feet."Her father did us no good. I don't want his offspring repeating the same sh**."She picked up the wine filled glass and gulped its content down. "I'm keeping her alive."The woman sucked air through her teeth and cussed. She walked around her desk to where her brother sat and sat.Her heels clicking on the floor like her nails did."Cassian" she said leaning on her desk looking

The room was silent. Iris could only hear the antique clock, on top the bookshelf in the room, ticking.Her eyes swept across the room, taking in every single detail of the vague looking room.Her eyes finally settled on Cassian. He was pouring himself a glass of whiskey from the luxurious wet bar at the corner of the room, she hadn't noticed earlier. It's wasn't that far off from where she was seated, just five steps away. He shook the glass in his hand and swirled the liquid then gulped the whole content down.He poured himself another glass, took a slow sip before speaking: "You asked how you'll repay your father's debt." Iris straightened. "Yes."He leaned back on the chair and didn't say anything else his eyes were fixed on the glass in his hand, he watched the liquid glimmer under the fluorescent lights. Iris's eyes twitched, she resisted the urge to yell at him and asked calmly: " what am I paying with?" He didn't reply. Her eyes twitched and she let out a slow breath. "H

The conference room fell silent as Cassian stepped in. Eight men rose from their seats immediately.No one spoke until he sat at the head of the table.A large map of the city glowed on the screen behind him, several districts marked and connected in red dots.His dark eyes swept over the room. "Report."A broad-shouldered man cleared his throat. He was one of the board members of the organisation."The shipment from the eastern docks arrived safely." He stated.Cassian gave a small nod. "The warehouse in Sector Nine?""In full operation." The man answered."The casinos?""Profits are up twelve percent."Cassian listened without interruption, occasionally tapping a finger against the polished wooden table. His eyes looked up from the report tablet in his hand.Then another man shifted uneasily in his chair. "There was... one complication." He said.Cassian glanced at him. The man swallowed a bile. "The Moretti family intercepted one of our convoys."The room grew tense. The other me

The shattered pieces of porcelain lay scattered across the marble floor. No one moved. Every rifle remained aimed at Iris. Her palms began to sweat, her eyes wide in shock. Cassian simply looked at her. As seconds ticked by, his expression never changed. "Leave us." He said staring at her with a pinning gaze. The guards slowly lowered their weapons, the frail young woman was not a threat for, but they stared at their boss, surprise on their faces. "...Boss?" The leader of the guards began. But Cassain cut him off before he could land. "I said leave." The chief guard signaled the others and within seconds, the hallway emptied until only the two of them remained. Silence streched between them. Cassian looked once at the broken vase. Then back at Iris's bare foot, then finally her face. She suqirmed under his gaze she now realised she was barefoot when his eyes ran over her. "You enjoy disobeying me." He stated stepping closer, closing the ten steps gap between them. Iris's p
