Silenced Temptations

5- Intriguing Woman

"W-Who is she, Lucifer?" Mrs Grave asked. Flabbergasted to see a woman in his life who dared to do this.

Lucifer turned to her and stood up.

He finally gave her his real look which flickers with malice, anger and gloom. He didn't say anything, just grabbed her arm and dragged her with him.

"H-hey! What are-"

"Shut up." He ordered.

He dragged her back to her room and pushed her away.

He locked the door and turned to her. The clicking sound of the door being locked, gave her chills.

She swallowed the lump in her throat when he took faint steps towards her.

Heart pacing abnormally fast, legs becoming weak as apprehensive thoughts weighed her breaths.

"Why am I here?" She asked in a bare whisper.

His sinister gaze was not removed from her fretful ones.

Her back hit the wall as he put his hands on either side of her, trapping her in his arms.

"What do you-"

"Shh... " He put his index finger on her lips and continued in a low tone.

"You don't even know how much trouble I have saved you from, Red." She shivered violently when he called her name.

"What trouble?"

He took a step back and took out his phone.

"I guess I have no choice. Now Dad and Mom have seen you." He sighed and called Harry.

"Hello, We will do what you said at the hospital, Harry. Get the papers and come here in thirty minutes."

And he cut the call with it, turning his attention back to Red.

"W-Why are you doing this?"

"Your very existence created upheavals for me." He sighed, taking a seat.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Every girl died except you. And I have to conceal you-"

"Because you don't get caught." She hissed.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"It was my enemy who wanted to ruin me. He kidnapped my employee's family and threatened him to do this."

"Why the girls?" Red gradually began to regain her posture.

"Randomly." He shrugged.

"All because to destroy you, he killed nearly twenty girls!" Red shouted in appall.

"I don't like noises, Red. Lower your voice." Lucifer put his finger over his lip to indicate to her to shut up.

"I was living my life happily, starting my dreams and you fucking trampled over it." She scowled.

"It wasn't me. I don't care." Lucifer said, using his phone.

"Harry is coming. Stay here until then." It wasn't a request.

It was an order.

Red grit her teeth and sat on the bed, pulling her hair in frustration of how such an upside down turn her life has taken.

"The trouble you were talking about before?"

"I will tell you when he will come." He said monotonously.

"Fuck it, I am leaving." Red said and stood up to leave.

The moment she held the doorknob, Lucifer grabbed her arm and pinned it over her back as she winced in pain.
