The rain had started sometime before dawn.

At first, it was gentle—soft taps against the window, like someone asking politely to be let in. But as the hours passed, it grew heavier, louder, until it consumed everything. It drowned out the city noise, swallowed the world whole, and wrapped Aria’s apartment in a cocoon of gray.

She hadn’t gotten out of bed.

Not because she couldn’t—but because she didn’t have the strength to.

  • THE DEVIL'S LOVE Ā Ā Ā Chapter 61

    The descent into Hell was not marked by fire.It was marked by silence.Lucas did not step through a gate, nor did he summon a portal. Hell recognized him—felt him—and parted.The air shifted first.What little movement existed in that cursed realm stilled, as though the world itself had drawn in a breath it dared not release. Then the ground beneath his feet darkened further, veins of molten crimson receding like blood retreating from a wound.He had not been here in a long time.Not because he feared it.Fear was a language Hell understood—but never dared speak to him.No… he had stayed away because this place remembered.Every scream. Every fall. Every moment of weakness.And worst of all… it remembered his father's humiliation of him.Lucas walked forward, his steps measured, unhurried, yet carrying a weight that pressed against the very bones of Hell. The corridor stretched before him—endless, suffocating, lined with walls that pulsed faintly, as though alive. Shadows clung to th

    Aria stepped out of the school gates beside Mark, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the pavement. Their conversation had been light, easy—Mark always had a way of making things feel uncomplicated—but her mind wasn’t entirely in it. It hadn’t been for weeks.Ever since Lucas had started keeping his distance.She had told herself it didn’t matter. That she didn’t care. That whatever they had—whatever he had made it—was better left alone.And yet…Her steps slowed.There, parked just across the road, was a sleek black sedan. Polished. Imposing. Familiar.Her breath caught.No… it couldn’t—But it was.Lucas leaned casually against the car, his posture relaxed in a way that didn’t fool her for a second. Even from a distance, there was something sharp about him today. Something controlled. Dangerous.Her heart betrayed her with a sudden, violent thud.Why is he here?After weeks of silence… weeks of distance… now this?ā€œAria?ā€ Mark’s voice pulled her slightly back, but s

    Lucas’s mansion did not feel like a home. Not today. The structure stood tall, elegant as always, its towering windows catching what little daylight filtered through the overcast sky. But inside— Inside, the air felt wrong. Heavy. Charged. Like something unseen had settled into the walls, pressing in, waiting. Lucas stood near one of the large windows, his back partially turned to the room. His gaze was fixed outside, though it was clear he wasn’t really seeing anything. His thoughts were elsewhere. On her. Always on her. The image refused to leave his mind—Aria, smiling softly, standing too close to someone else. Letting someone else lead her. Trusting someone else. His jaw tightened. ā€œYou’re going to wear a hole into the glass at this rate.ā€ Her voice came like silk over steel. Lucas didn’t turn immediately. He didn’t need to. ā€œSelene,ā€ he said flatly. She stood near the entrance of the room, leaning slightly against the doorway as though she owned the place. Her

    Morning came, but it didn’t feel like morning. There was no softness to it. No gentle easing into the day. Just a dull, dragging awareness that time had moved forward whether Aria was ready or not. Rain tapped lightly against her window—not the violent storm from the day before, but something quieter. Lingering. Like the world hadn’t quite shaken off whatever weight it had carried overnight. Aria lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. She’d been awake for a while. Long enough to notice the way the light shifted behind the curtains. Long enough to realize she had no intention of getting up anytime soon. Her body felt heavy. Not tired—just… unwilling. Her mind, however, refused to be still. Selene. That image wouldn’t leave her. The way she had stood in the apartment like she belonged there. The calm confidence. The unsettling ease with which she had spoken about things Aria barely understood. And then there was what she had said. About a coming war... and the decisio

  • THE DEVIL'S LOVE Ā Ā Ā Chapter 57

    Hell did not burn the way mortals imagined it. There were no endless lakes of fire, no screaming pits lined with writhing bodies begging for mercy. That was a child’s understanding of punishment. A crude interpretation of something far more intricate. Hell was… deliberate. Alive. Breathing in ways that did not require air. The sky—if it could be called that—was not a sky at all, but a fractured expanse of shifting darkness, like glass that had been shattered and rearranged by something with no concept of symmetry. Between those fractures, something glowed faintly, pulsing like veins beneath skin—deep reds, bruised purples, flickers of gold that felt less like light and more like something watching. The ground was worse. It was not solid in the way earth should be. It looked like polished obsidian at first glance, smooth and reflective, but beneath its surface, shadows moved. Not reflections—no. Movements. Shapes that twisted and recoiled as though something had been trapped ben

Her phone lay beside her, screen dark now, but not long ago it had lit up with Mark’s name.ā€œHey. It’s pouring. I can pick you up if you want.ā€His voice had been warm. Easy. Safe.She had hesitated.For a second too long.Then she remembered.The demon guards.Across the street. Always watching. Always reporting.And more than that—Lucas.The thought of accepting a ride from Mark felt… wrong. Not because she owed Lucas anything. Not after the way

    The oceans split for him, and Lucas descended. The echoes of Leviathan's last words of an impending enemy was loud in his head. He wondered who would dare cross paths with him again after Behemoth. He thought of Aria, and hoped she would be save until he returned from his quest, and put an end to B

    When two days passed without Aria getting a word from Lucas, she got worried and tried to pry out information from Levi, but he wouldn't give in to her demands, and she didn't make it easy for him either. "So you're seriously telling me that you don't know where Lucas is?" "Yes, Aria. I have no i
