Hellborn Abyss

Chapter 22

Bianca's return to Hell was nothing short of a descent into the deepest abyss. The oppressive heat and the stench of brimstone assaulted her senses as she materialized in her father's domain. Lucifer stood at the center of his throne room, his eyes blazing with fury.

Lucifer: "You dare return after your betrayal?"

Before Bianca could respond, Lucifer's power surged, and she found herself slammed against the cold, stone walls, shackles materializing around her wrists and ankles. The chains glowed with a dark, malevolent energy, rendering her unable to escape or use her own powers.

Bianca: "Father, please listen—"

Lucifer's laughter echoed through the cavernous room, a sound devoid of any warmth or mercy.

Lucifer: "Listen? You've brought shame upon our name! You've mingled with mortals, defied my will, and for what? Your own fleeting happiness?"

For over a month in the underworld, Bianca remained trapped, her body and spirit battered by her father's relentless punishments. Her cries of pain went unheard in the endless void of Hell. Yet, in the mortal world, an entire year had passed, leaving a chasm of time and worry between her and Yoongi.

Despite the torment, Bianca's resolve never wavered. She knew she had to confront her father and make him understand her need for freedom, for a future of her own choosing.

One day, amidst the darkness of her imprisonment, Lucifer appeared before her, his eyes colder than ever.

Lucifer: "Have you learned your lesson, daughter?"

Bianca, bruised and weary, met his gaze with unwavering determination.

Bianca: "I need to find my own future, Father. I didn't betray you; I only sought my happiness. You've always taught me to be strong, and now I am strong enough to stand on my own."

Lucifer's expression twisted with rage. Without warning, he struck her, the force of his blow sending her sprawling to the ground. Pain radiated through her body, but she refused to cry out, her resolve hardening.

Lucifer: "You speak of happiness? You are my daughter! Your place is here, by my side, ruling the underworld. Your weakness for those mortals will be your downfall."

Bianca struggled to her feet, her eyes blazing with a fierce determination.

Bianca: "It's not weakness, Father. It's love. Something you've long forgotten. And I will find a way to live my life, even if it means defying you."

Lucifer's fury was palpable, the air around them crackling with dark energy. But Bianca stood her ground, ready to face whatever consequences her defiance would bring.

Bianca had endured the torment for a reason. She knew she could have released herself from the chains on the very first day. Her power, a unique blend of demonic and angelic, was far greater than her father realized. But she had remained imprisoned to protect Yoongi, ensuring her father's wrath was focused solely on her.

As she lay there, bruised and battered, she made a decision. It was time to confront her father and end this once and for all. She couldn't hide in the shadows of Hell any longer. With a deep breath, Bianca summoned her inner strength, and the shackles binding her began to glow, cracking under the pressure of her power.

Lucifer turned, his eyes widening in surprise as Bianca broke free from her restraints. The chains shattered, falling to the ground with a resounding crash. She stood tall, her aura blazing with a mix of celestial light and demonic fire.

Lucifer: "What is this? How dare you—"

Bianca: "I dare because I've had enough, Father. I stayed here to keep you from going after Yoongi, but now I'm done hiding. This ends today."
