Divine Desires: The Redemption of Asmodeus

59 - A Sobering Scolding

Asmodeus arrived back at their house, heavily drunk and wounded, his gait unsteady as he made his way to the front door. However, his inebriated state quickly gave way to sobriety when he was met with Seraphina standing in front of him, her arms crossed and brows furrowed in anger. Her pregnant belly had grown visibly larger, a testament to the life they had created together.

Seraphina wasted no time in launching into a stern and well-deserved scolding. "Asmodeus, look at you! Bruised and wounded again! What were you thinking?" Her voice was filled with a mixture of worry and anger, a reflection of her deep concern for him.

Asmodeus, feeling a sense of shame wash over him, lowered his gaze momentarily before meeting Seraphina's eyes. "I... I got into a fight at the bar," he admitted, his voice heavy with regret.

Seraphina's anger flared, and she couldn't help but let out an exasperated sigh. "Asmodeus, you know better than this. You're the Devil God, for heaven's sake! You can't just go around getting into fights like a common thug."

Asmodeus hung his head, his shoulders slumping. He felt like a scolded child in front of his beloved, and a deep sense of remorse filled him. "I know, Seraphina, I know. I'm so sorry. I just... I lost control."

Seraphina's expression softened, and her maternal instincts kicked in as she reached out to gently cup his cheek. "You're lucky you didn't get seriously hurt," she chided softly, her concern for his well-being overriding her anger.

Asmodeus couldn't help but lean into her touch, his eyes filled with genuine affection. "I know, and I'm grateful for that."

Seraphina's anger began to melt away as she realized the sincerity in Asmodeus's words. She guided him inside and helped him sit down, her hands gentle and caring as she examined his wounds. "I'll take care of those bruises for you, but promise me you won't do something like this again."

Asmodeus nodded earnestly, his voice laced with determination. "I promise, Seraphina. I'll do better, not just for myself but for you and our child."

Seraphina smiled softly, her fingers tracing the contours of his face. "That's all I ask, Asmodeus. We're in this together, remember?"

Asmodeus couldn't help but wrap his arms around her, not just because he was still somewhat drunk, but also because he wanted to hold onto her and their unborn child with all his heart. "I love you, Seraphina, more than anything in this world."

Seraphina returned his embrace, her heart filled with love and forgiveness. "I love you too, Asmodeus, and I'll always be here for you."

In this heartfelt chapter, Seraphina scolds and nags Asmodeus for getting into a fight while he was heavily drunk and wounded. Asmodeus feels deep remorse for his actions and promises to do better for the sake of Seraphina and their unborn child. The conversation ends with a reaffirmation of their love and commitment to each other.
