Back For Her

Prologue

"I am the leader of the American Mafia," Lucifer confessed. 

Rylee felt the world crashing down on her. She stumbled back a few steps and covered her mouth with trembling hands. Her lips parted in shock.

"You are-You are the what?" She whispered, not wanting to believe the words that came out of his mouth. 

"The mafia leader." 

Rylee's legs felt like they would give up on her any moment. She took a step forward but lost her balance. Before she fell, Lucifer grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to his chest. 

Rylee instantly pulled her hands away from his touch, as if it burnt her, but he only held her tighter.

"Let me go," she gritted, struggling in his arms.

Lucifer reluctantly let go of her. Rylee instantly took a few steps away from him, leveling him with a fierce glare.

"So our whole relationship was based on a lie?" She asked coldly. 

"Ryl, but our love for each other was true," Lucifer tried defending, scared of what would happen next.

She ignored that statement. "You told me your father owned a business and that you would be the heir to it."

Lucifer nodded. "That wasn't a lie."

"But you kept me in the dark for four years, Lucifer! Four. Fucking. Years! You are a-a mafia leader," She yelled brokenly, clutching her chest.

"I know, Ryl. I know. I'm sorry, I truly am, but I didn't want you to get hurt. I-"

"What about the hurt you caused me now, Lucifer?" she asked sharply.

Lucifer didn't reply. 

She took a deep breath and nodded. 

"I'm sorry Luc, but I can't date a mafia leader," Rylee said, look straight into his eyes with a blank look. 

His eyes widened. His face looked pained.

"My love, I- we dated each other for four years! You can't throw all that away because I'm in the mafia!"

"In the mafia? No, no, Lucifer, you are the fucking leader of the mafia."

"Ryl, you can't leave me, please," Lucifer whispered, his voice cracking.

His eyes almost brimmed with tears as he watched the girl he loved more than himself talking about leaving him.

She chuckled dryly. "Watch me." 

Lucifer watched as she packed her belongings in her suitcase. Never once did he try to stop her- he was too shocked to do that. He snapped out his trance when she walked past him. 

"Ryl, stop!" 

Rylee halted in her tracks and turned around. 

"What?" She asked, without any trace of emotions in her voice. 

Lucifer was silent for a few seconds as he composed himself, taking deep breaths. He smirked and took few predatory steps towards her, casually placing his hands in his pockets.

Rylee wanted nothing more than to run away, after seeing a mere glimpse of the mafia leader instead of her sweet boyfriend.

Lucifer reached a few inches away from her and leaned down, leveling his lips right beside her ear.

"You can run, you can hide, but in the end, I will always find you."

Rylee gulped and held onto her suitcase tighter. 

Lucifer stepped back and stood still, watching her every move like a hawk. Rylee took a deep breath and ran out of the room, not before glancing back at Lucifer. 

'Mine' he mouthed to her and smirked. 

She left him and walked away, away from his life forever...or so she thought.
