The Devil's Love

CHAPTER 4

THIRD PERSON'S POV
Aurora was tired and was trying hard to sleep. She did sleep for an hour or so but since she wasn't used to this new environment, it was difficult for her to fall asleep peacefully, not to mention, in the presence of Lucifer Knight in the same house. When she completely fails to put herself into a comfortable position to fall asleep, she sits upright. There were still many questions running through her mind. About her new life. New tortures. Her dad. Her deceptive mother and sister. And of course her husband in name; Lucifer.
As she was roaming in her mind, she felt thirsty. Looking around her side tables, and finding no clue of water, she asked herself loud enough, for her to hear her own voice after a long day,
"Such a king he is yet he didn't teach his servants to even place a glass of water?"
She sighed on a second thought and then made a mental note to herself to bring a glass of water for herself the next time she goes to bed. With this thought she put on her soft slippers and walked out of her room.
As she stepped out, she stood there dumbfounded.
"Where am I supposed to go?" she wondered.
She wanted to blame Lucifer for not even letting her explore the place where she was to live but then again, who was she? To question the devil? Pushing all these thoughts to a side, she decided not to waste anymore time and search for the kitchen. She stepped to the right and saw a another hallway that leads upto a big door. "Nope. The kitchen can't be here for sure."
Making this mental note to herself she came back and went to the left side. As she walked through another hallway with huge bright yellow lights still switched up, yet giving soft glow, she finally came to a turn to a right and there was the lounge she came into.
The look was definitely of a castle. She thought, "If you don't really get Lucifer Knight as your husband, any girl would want to live here forever."
She dismissed the weird thought and wondered where to go now. As she was roaming there, she came to a street like short way that led to a big glass dinning table with wooden chairs, which looked more like luxury resting chairs.
And to the right was the open ended kitchen. She let out a sigh of relief. And went inside to get herself a glass of water. She sat down on the counter chair of the kitchen. As soon as she sipped, she heard some footsteps. She turned to witness Lucifer leaning on the kitchen counter scanning her from head to toe.
Aurora's body suddenly stiffened and her skin turned white. She knows trouble is here.
"Interesting it is to witness that you want to run away at this hour."
Aurora suddenly replied with a soft and timid voice "I wasn't."  He scoffed at her and then taking a step forward to the counter chair he asked, "Well then, can I know what my wife was doing here? Trying to find something to kill your husband?"
Aurora thought to herself, "Is he blind? Can't he see a glass of water?"
As she was thinking, Lucifer turned to her suddenly and stated, "You haven't replied, Mrs. Knight."
"There was no water in the room. I was thirsty." she said softly.
Not replying to her, he surpassed her to reach the glass of water, Aurora poured for herself. Taking a sip of it, he asked, "Would you like to drink this water now?"
Aurora looked at him puzzled. Before she could register what was happening, Lucifer, as if trying to test her patience, spat in the glass. Then he looked towards her and said, "Mrs. Knight, I want you to drink this now."
"W-what?" Aurora asked.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"I-I can't."
"Then, I can kiss you to feed this." Lucifer said with a hint of lust on his voice.
Aurora felt disgusted. Lucifer leaned closer. As if he was adamant to kiss her. His actions sent shivers down her spine.
"Either drink this or I kiss you." Lucifer said with a smirk. Aurora would never kiss him. Nope. It was her first kiss. How can this belong to a devil like him? But this was so disgusting. Dying seemed easier but did she have a choice?
Meanwhile Lucifer moved closer and closer until only inches apart. She shut her eyes tight and took the glass. With one breath, she poured down all the content in her mouth and gulped it down through her throat.
Ewwww!
Lucifer stood there but not really satisfied with Aurora's action. Even he didn't know what was he not happy for. He wanted to torture her. Yes! That was what he wanted and tried to convince himself and was soon out of the conflict in his mind.
The man who was inches apart, quickly recovered from the confusion to fury. His eyes turned to black and empty as they were before and his face darkened. He held Aurora's chin and forced her to open her eyes. His grip was so strong that it made Aurora yelp in pain. He asked,
"So you'd rather take someone's spit than to kiss your husband? Good for you! You are as disgusting to me as this thing was for you! You're nothing more than a toy for me! Keep that in mind for as long as you live, Aurora David. Understand?"
She nodded and Lucifer smirked in victory. He let go of her chin and then leave the girl in tears and went out of the kitchen.
Aurora wanted to scream but it was not her place. She scolded herself for thinking she could breathe here a bit. She was wrong. It was this opressor's Palace. His kingdom. She was just his slave. Just his toy. She curled herself and buried her head to let out her tears.

NEXT MORNING
Aurora didn't realise she slept in the kitchen on the floor. The sun is shinning brightly through the kitchen window. As soon as she got up, the memory of last night came rushing to her mind. She couldn't forget her encounter with Lucifer. She shivered on the thought of having to meet him again. She mustered up her courage to move out of the kitchen. Tip toeing, she watched out for Lucifer. Since he wasn't around, she hurried to her room and shut the door close. Her breath was heavy. She sat on the bed for a while and thought to herself,
"What did I ever do to deserve his wrath? It's like drowning into a beautiful lake. No matter how beautiful it seems from a far, it is not worth it. At all."
