I'm Lucifer's Wife

Third Person POV

The surprise turned out good for the two of them. Kung titignan mo sila aakalain mong boyfriend-girlfriend ang relationship nila. Walang makakapag-isip na may hidwaan ang dalawa kung magturingan. Maski na ang hindi nila pagkakasundo. They look like a couple that were waiting for their happy ending to come. They laugh, tease and enjoy their moment together. It's as if they are in their own separate world and nothing can destroy it. They act so carefree and as if everything is normal around them.

They didn't even realize that someone is watching them closely. And that person seethes in anger and jealousy silently.

"You don't deserve to be happy, Alvarez." bulong nito habang nakatingin sa telescope at pinapanood ang dalawa. "You're not worthy of her."

On the other side...

"You manwhore!" asik niya sabay bato ng paper napkin kay Lucifer. Umilag naman ang huli. "Anong gayuma ginamit mo sa mga babae mo? Alam ba nila kung gaano ka kabalahura?"

He chuckle amusingly. "They love me, Sera. As simple as that."

"Bullshit." ganti nito at umirap. "Love my ass."

"Bakit ba ayaw mong maniwala? They love me." ngumisi ito at linapit ang mukha. "Or you are just jealous about them?" panunuya pa nito at nakatanggap siya ng batok.

"Yeah right. Whatever." umismid pa ito sa kanya na nagpatawa dito. He's really amused by her reactions that he can't help but laugh at it. Seeing the blush on her cheeks is enough to make him smile. A feat not everyone could do. Only her---Seraphim Allison Martinez----his personal brand of happy pill. Then and now.

"You talk as if you're not like me---"

"And I am not!"

"Tell that to all the men you've given broken hearts." Lucifer tease her. Namula naman ito lalo in return. "It really makes me wonder how could they fall for you?"

"What the hell did that mean?"

"Well, for one, you're stubborn, quite noisy, sometimes a brat, brutal, cold, nerdy... what else..." umarte pa ito na parang nagiisip habang palihim na sumusulyap sa babaeng kaharap niya na namumula na ang pisngi. "Oh, you're also wild and reckless, sassy and blunt. Most of all, you're a bitch. So I'm not really sure how that made you lovable in their eyes."

"Why--- You---" Seraphim gritted her teeth in anger. Though she knows that everything he said was all true. Hindi niya lang matanggap that she'd hear it from someone like him. She inhale and control her breathing, before she smirk at him. She wouldn't let him have the satisfaction of ruining her mood. Gone is the playful and childish Seraphim, in place, the cold-hearted bitch everyone knew. "I may be all that and a bitch, at least I'm just being myself. They can hate me and I won't even bat an eyelash, Lucifer. They can love and adore me and I won't give a damn. I love and accept who I am and I guess that's enough reason for them. I don't need people who can't accept me for who I am and I definitely don't need to please anyone. I'm not born to please them, I am born to live my life and that's what I am doing."

Lucifer smile inwardly as he heard her speech. It really was so like her to speak that way and won't show any regrets or hesitation. He may have said those negative traits of her as a way to provoke her, but he knew more than anyone that it was also the same reason why she catches anyone's heart without even meaning to and more. She's the kind of woman, any man would kill just to have her heart and affection and he's not so different. He won't lie to that. He wants her and no amount of heartaches and pain can change that. He didn't do all the things he did just for nothing, and now, he'll see to it that he'll have what he wanted all his life. By hook or by crook.
