In my life, I have never been the center of attention.
Today, at least half of the Underworld has come to bear witness that I am the wife of Lucifer.
As I walked up, the stairs towards my future husband, My breathing became heavy. Here, the rituals of marriage were different. Of course, there wouldn't be a priest. A holy man would die before trespassing the devil's territory.

When I reached the last stair. He reached his hand towards. I ignored it. There was no need to show affection, when there is none. Everything was happening just for his convenience, I was only getting the protection.
I was desperate to ask him about my parents, how he knew them and why would they do such a thing to me?, although I'm going to throw my life in a matter of seconds right now. I don't hate them at all. Because I could never. I've seen them at their worst just to give me the life they never had, there has to be a reason for this too.

There were two circles meant for each of us to stand in, I stood in mine. There was a wine glass of gold standing on a stand. I glanced at Lucifer, his expressions were stern, and he wore a black robe that pooled on the floor. I hate to say this but he seemed ravishing. His toned chest was visible through the robe. The cuffs had some foreign language carved in gold on them.
A man came to us with a dagger, he hands it to Lucifer who cuts his finger and drops a pint of blood in his glass, I do the same.
Now, he turned to me with the glass in his hand.

"Please exchange the glasses," The grim-faced man said.

The transparent liquid had turned red with just a pint of blood. I look at Lucifer who drank the liquid casually.

"Do I have to?" I whispered.

They both nodded. I close my eyes when my lips touch the cold glass. Instead of taking a sip, I drink all in one gulp.
I put a hand on my mouth to refrain from throwing up.

My mouth tasted like ash.

I'm probably making disgusting faces because Lucifer was smirking. I will surely make him pay.

I felt a tingling sensation on my wrist, I almost forgot that I had been bitten by an imp. It was healed now, not even a scar. I could see two black lines circling my hand and meeting at my elbow, the same thing happens with him too.

It sends a shiver down my spine.

I turn to the cheering crowd, they were calling me their queen.

I was surprised that there were no vows, even if they are demons yet, they must have true loves whom they vow to love. Evermore. And I was also astonished but glad at the same time that there was no kissing.

He reaches for my hand. It was warm. Unlike his heart.
"If you love yourself, be on your best behavior". He grumbles.

"There should be a please when requesting people" I smirked, which irritated him to the extent a vein popped on his forehead.

"I am not requesting, I am commanding" he growled.

"If you think I'm afraid of you then you're wrong here. I never wanted to marry you yet, you dragged me here. I know how you yearn for my blood, I have the valor to kill myself and make you miserable." I was apoplectic with rage.

"If you think that by killing yourself you're going to make me miserable. You're wrong witch. I will never let you die. You have been confined with me for eternity". He glances at my tattoo" and I vow to keep you alive".

"Just go and die" I scream in his face. While he smirks enjoying me in pain.

I leave him alone and run down the stairs and fall. I've made a joke of myself. Lucifer didn't even flinch to help me.
A man with the same topaz eyes help me to my feet he had a malicious smile on his face which made me cringe, without saying thank you I Walk away.

I lock myself inside my room.

"Arabella" it was Lucifer's sister, she kept knocking. I open the door a little to confirm if it was only her. "Don't worry, he's got other women to keep him company."

my eyes started becoming moist, but I hold myself back. She's lucifers sister I would hate to show her my vulnerable side.

"You never told me your name?" I said.

"So much is happening in so little time, I must've forgotten. I am Lilith, I am younger than him" She sits next to me."My brother sometimes is an asshole, and I don't know how to fix that attitude of his, he's rude to everyone." She hugs me "You should not think much about him, you're finally free now from those debts and people who bullied you".

"How do you know so much about me?" I sniffled.

"Lucifer and I watched over you since. you were born" She grabs the bell and rings it onyx appears. She ordered him to bring tea for us."It angered me when I saw you get bullied every time, and when your parents died".

I don't even want to remember all that after Carmen took me in. I transformed my whole personality. "Why did he have to marry me?" I wondered if it was to confine me. As he said.

"To make him yours, so that all the realms know you belong to him". She pours me a cup of tea. It means making me a prisoner wouldn't have worked. I'm glad that I don't have to be one. I was itching to ask her if I possess any powers, or if am I capable of something besides providing blood to make others strong.

"Do I have any powers?" I blurted out.

"Of course, far more impressive than any witch in 4 centuries ever had". She takes a sip before continuing "You can regenerate extremely fast, you can probably have a vision as I read in books and the most spectacular Is longevity". Why didn't I have any until now, I used to even fall ill so often. Lilith must have seen how perplexed I am "You could not use any of it because your mother locked them."

"Was my mother a witch too?"

"It's not my place to tell you all this, I've already told you enough" She gets ups and smoothes the skirt of her dress. My and her dress resembled each other, hers was knee length, periwinkle, and more revealing than mine. I was so sure that she was the one who selected my clothes.

"Thank you for telling me as much as you could".

"Just don't tell Lucifer. Or he'll surely give me an earful". I nodded, I think, I need to find the rest of the things, by myself.

"I would like to choose my clothes by myself now," I said to her before she left the room, in response, she nodded and gave me her dazzling smile.
