The Devil's Love

Chapter 3

Lucifer's pov
I was so mad at Elly. How dare she run away? She knew how much I loved her and she dared to replace her own position with this stupid woman. Who is this Aurora to compare with Elly? She's a nobody!
I was so engrossed in my thoughts where I was throwing curses at Elly for running away that I did not realise my hand was red. It took me a moment to grasp what happened to my hand. The wine glass broke in my hand since I was letting my frustration out in the form of extreme pressure on that poor delicate glass. Well, now I have a bleeding hand. I did not care about that at all. It has always been that way. No pain.
I looked at the blood as it was flowing down to the tips of my fingers. The smooth blood flow just gave me one thought. One savage thought.
  " You will pay for this, my sweetest Elly."
My chain of thoughts were interrupted when Edward knocked on my office door. I looked and pointed to come in. He stepped in. The same poker face and he bowed down. I looked at him and raised my brow. Knowing what I wanted to hear, he said,
" Mrs. Knight is in her room and is resting. "
 I nodded and said,
"Okay, you may go now."
He quietly stepped back and closed the door. I glanced out of the window as the thought of this new girl came rushing to my mind.
Despite the fact that I hate her and will always do, on a second thought, she sure is the type who can easily turn a man on. Her perfect body is the ultimate weapon. All her curves right to the point. Her milky smooth skin makes her glow. Her small button nose makes her kind of cute. Her bright brown eyes makes everything fall right into place. And her pink plum lips, I didn't even realise my thumb was unconsciously caressing my lower lip when I imagined her lips. I wonder how'd they taste. I smirked. I lit my cigar and blowed a puff. The thought of Elly running away and her sister to be her replacement was running wild in my head, until I slowly whispered to myself,
"Be ready for your life to be ruined Aurora David, because from now on, you are my property"

Lucifer sat in his office, thinking about how to take revenge from Elly and punish her. When his mind, suddenly, drifted to Aurora. He finished his cigar and decided to go back to his room for a good rest. He started walking towards his bedroom. As soon as he entered the hallway, which lead towards the other wing of the house, he stopped. After a brief moment of debating with himself, he turned towards Aurora's bedroom. He entered the room to find all lights turned off. The person he was looking for was sleeping soundly on the bed with the quilt half covering her lower body.
He stepped forward to take a good look at Aurora. She looked gorgeous even in her sleep. Lucifer thought to himself, "She's kind of adorable when asleep since she's not crying." His lips curved a bit but before, they could change into a smile, he grounded and reminded himself that he was supposed to take revenge on Elly and this girl was his weapon. Turning his cold behavior on, he started moving towards the door but since all the lights were off, he accidentally, tripped over Aurora's wedding heels. The noise made by Lucifer's shoes was enough to wake Aurora up. "Damn it!" Lucifer cursed to himself. Aurora's eyes shot open and she saw a huge figure in front of the door. Of course she couldn't see the face. She was startled and with a shaky voice she asked,
"W-who's there?"
"Who'd be there in your room at this hour, sweetheart?" Lucifer asked while switching on the light.
Recognizing Lucifer's voice, Aurora shivered a bit. She took a moment and said, "You could've switched on the lights."
"And you could've placed your shoes in the closet, I suppose?"
Aurora was embarrassed so she looked away. Lucifer looked at her and with his usual cold smirk, he said, "So, you were sleeping peacefully without waiting for your husband? Must be tired of the long day? Or now you're happy to be a rich man's wife to enjoy these luxuries?"
Aurora wasn't surprised. She knew Lucifer did not like her. And he'd say things like those. She lowered her gaze and stayed quiet. Her response did not satisfy Lucifer so he came forward. Sitting on the side of bed where Aurora was, he placed his thumb beneath her chin and forced her to look up.
"You know, when I ask you something, you're supposed to reply."
His tone was very calm yet dangerous. She was scared. She wanted to answer but her voice seemed to be lost.
"Understood?" he asked.
She nodded.
"You had a voice when begging me to let go of you. Where did that voice go?" he inquired.
He waited for a response but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Understood, Mrs Knight?" he asked in a demanding tone. She tried to lower her face but his grip was too strong for her. She finally found her voice to reply, "U-u-understood."
Pleased with the answer, Lucifer let go of her face and gets up from the bed. When he's about to leave the room, he says, "Get used to this honey. There's a long way to go."
The door shuts and Aurora is left in her room wondering what's gonna come next.

I shivered when he said, "There's a long way to go." What is he planning to do to me? I never harmed him or it'd be better to say, I never got to meet him in anyway until this day, the day, when Elly pushed me down in this hell. He's gone yet I can sense him everywhere around me. His smell. His terrifying auro. His killer brown eyes and his voice is everywhere to be heard. I can feel my soul ripping apart. I can feel myself to be trapped into this cage owned by Lucifer Knight for what seems to be an eternity. He's known for his cruelty towards the outer world. But what about the ones who know him? Does he do the same to them? What about his family?
"Family?" I whispered to myself. "Where's Lucifer's family?"
Does he even own one? Or did they leave him for the Satan he is? I was wondering about these questions when I heard the alarm clock ring. I turned to look at the time. 4am. It's been this late?
I wanted to sleep but all these questions, all these mysteries were running wild in my mind. I was drained. I wanted to rest. I closed my eyes. The lights were still on. But I did not want to switch them off. This is the first time I wanted to sleep with the lights turned on. I was scared of Lucifer to come in and tear me apart. This was the last thought I had before falling asleep.
