As the Devil himself, Lucifer had seen it all. He had tempted mortals for centuries, and not one of them had ever asked for something that he couldn't deliver. So when yet another mortal summoned him, he was confident that he could strike a deal.
The man was desperate. He had lost everything, and he was willing to sell his soul to the Devil in exchange for a miracle. But Lucifer was feeling a little generous that day, and he promised the man that he could keep his soul if he asked for something that nobody had ever asked for.
To Lucifer's surprise, the man asked for something that made him laugh out loud. He wanted a beautiful and loving girlfriend who would stay with him until the end of his days.
"Are you sure that's what you want?" Lucifer asked, still chuckling. "You do realize that I am the Devil, right?"
The man nodded, looking more desperate than ever.
"Very well," Lucifer said, feeling mischievous. "You shall have your wish. But there's a catch. You see, I am the Devil, and I always get what I want. So, I will become your beautiful and loving girlfriend until the end of your days."
The man looked horrified, but it was too late. The deal had been struck, and Lucifer had taken on the form of the most beautiful woman that the man had ever seen.
At first, the man was overjoyed. He had a girlfriend who loved him, and he was the envy of every man around him. But as time went on, he realized that he was stuck with the Devil himself. Lucifer was kind and loving, but there was always something sinister lurking beneath the surface.
Years passed, and the man grew old and tired. But Lucifer remained by his side, never aging a day. She was always beautiful and loving, but the man knew that he was stuck with the Devil until the end of his days.
Finally, on the man's deathbed, Lucifer appeared to him one last time.
"I kept my promise, didn't I?" she said, smiling down at him. "I was your beautiful and loving girlfriend until the end of your days."
The man nodded weakly, knowing that he had been outsmarted by the Devil himself.
"But now it's time for you to come with me," Lucifer said, her eyes glowing red. "Your soul is mine, and I always get what I want."
As the man took his last breath, he realized that he had made a deal with the Devil, and he had lost. Lucifer had once again proven that she was the master of temptation, and she would always come out on top.
