The last day of the court hearing came, it was the time of judgement after a thorough assessment of evidences and statements. Despair was evident on the face of Shilseuk, he was found guilty and his punishment would be none other than hell. Surely, someone looks forward to torturing him. His head was lowered in shame and defeat, he deserved it. I felt fine, strangers congratulating me, friends shaking my hands and inviting me to celebrate, my lawyer walking out of the hall fearlessly, until a text reminded me of the plan I had to execute later that night.

" Sorry guys, as much as I'd love to join you, I have urgent matters on my plate. I can't really be laidback these days. I'm very sorry. " the mood of the boys were ruined and it was unpleasant for me to witness. They frowned but Mark worked his charm and I couldn't say no to him.

" Ugh okay fine. I will clear my schedule for dinner tonight but for now, bestie and I have somewhere to go, right Chungie? " I winked at her and she nodded in agreement. They were satisfied with that and I dragged my best friend with me to the car, heading to the mansion. She was shocked to see the place I stayed at and the walk-in closet in my bedroom. Randomly picking combinations of clothes, Chungha snapped back to reality and scolded me for not being able to choose better sets.

" How about this? "

" Do you really think you can infiltrate a club with that outfit? "

" What's wrong with it? "

" There are a lot of things wrong in wearing a knitted sweater to the club, Luna! Okay, the rule is to wear revealing clothes without looking like a hooker. Try these ones, I'm certain that you'll look fabulous. " she handed me a white crop top, high waisted skinny jeans, and three-inch white knee-high boots. It was sexy and comfortable at the same time, Chungha was indeed a lifesaver.

It was late in the afternoon when I finished going James Bond on Joy. Lucifer and I met at Sextuary, the place where we expected Joy to show up. Luck wasn't on our side when Yuqi called and said that Joy was about to beat someone at Pegasus so we rushed to them. She seemed pretty mad that even bouncers were scared of getting near her, Lucifer grabbed her by the arm and led her to one of the rooms.

" Lucifer? What are you doing here on earth? "

" I am here to rescue your sorry ass. After all these years, I never thought I'd find you here of all the planets. "

" Luna? Is that really you? "

" Yes, Joy or should I say Manxa? Why didn't you tell me that you were an angel? Not just a missing human soul but an angel who's been hunted for eons. You do know the imbalance that's happening, right? "

" You... You feel it too? But why? "

" Because the both of you have the same marks behind your left ears which can only mean one thing. Manxa, are you hiding something? "

" Umm Luna, I've been meaning to tell you this but Shilseuk got in the way so I had no choice but to leave just to keep you safe. You are my daughter, a result of an atrocious crime committed by a human. I was a naive angel when this man said that he would help me but no, he took advantage of my weakness and he... He raped me. "

" Who did this to you, Manxa? Give me a name and they will feel my wrath! "

" Lucifer, no need. He got killed by his fellow humans when they found out what he did to me, I was to repay them but their home got blown into pieces by a bomb with them inside. "

" Luna, are you alright? Sorry if this feels like a tsunami of information to you, I can't really stay longer here on earth. I have to fix things with heaven and hell so everything will be back to normal. And sorry if you had to directly experience the disturbance of the equilibrium, too much for being my daughter, I guess. "
