Chapter 40

The kitchen staff had been dismissed. Lucas stood at the marble counter with sleeves rolled up, preparing ingredients with surprising efficiency. Eggs cracked cleanly into a bowl. Vegetables chopped with precise movement. He handed Aria a cup of coffee he had brewed himself. "Thank you." She smiled warmly and sipped the coffee. She leaned against the counter, watching him with open fascination. "You look very domestic. I'm impressed." She teased. "Don't get used to it." Aria stared at him. There was something almost surreal about watching someone capable of ruthless violence, delicately sprinkle herbs over a pan. She studied him. His duality unsettled her. This man who held her like she was something precious just hours ago... The man who was carefully fixing her breakfast... Was the same being who could destroy without hesitation. "Lucas..." She called his name softly. He turned to look at her, but she kept mute. "Do you have something to say to me?"She hesitated fo

Chapter 41

In the absence of the goddess, Lucas' mansion forgot what heaviness felt like. The corridors that once dimmed and echoed with nothing but the quiet hum of restrained power, had softened. Sunlight filtered through curtains that had remained drawn for decades, warming marble floors that had only ever known shadows. The chandeliers no longer cast cold, ceremonial light, they glowed warmly in the evenings, like the house itself had learned how to breathe.There was no silence of abandonment.The usual suffocating stillness that used to follow Lucas after a bloodbath, was gone also.Everything felt different.The estate had always been magnificent_imposing, eternal.But for two weeks, it had been... alive.There had been laughter.Soft and fleeting, but real.Footsteps that didn't carry fear.Doors that closed gently instead of with force.Even the staffs, despite being demons, now moved differently too.Quieter. Not out of fear, but out of respect for the peace that had settled over thei

Chapter 42

The throne room of Hell was vast enough to swallow enemies.It had been built to intimidate_with black stone pillars that rose like jagged teeth toward a ceiling lost in darkness. Their surfaces veined with faint crimson light that pulsed like a slow heartbeat. Rivers of molten fire crawled through channels carved into the floor, filling the chamber with a dull, suffocating heat. Despite the constant oppressing heat, the vast chamber still felt cold.At the far end of the hall sat the throne.Carved from jagged obsidian and bones of fallen creatures, it rose like a monument to cruelty. No mortal craftsman could have created something so terrible, but yet magnificent.And seated upon it was the great ruler of hell.Lucifer.He lounged lazily across the throne as though the infernal kingdom around him were nothing more than a personal amusement. One arm rested along the side of the throne, his fingers tapping idly against the stone.Lucas stood several steps away from the throne, his h

Chapter 43

The massive gates of the throne room closed behind Lucas with a thunderous boom that echoed through the dark corridors of Hell.For a moment, he simply stood there.His chest burned where Lucifer's power had crushed the air from his lungs. The pain in his ribs throbbed with every breath he took, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the humiliation clawing at his mind.WEAKThe word echoed over and over again in his thoughts.Lucifer's voice had carried no anger when he said it. Only certainty.And regret, as though he had truly acknowledged Lucas to be his mistake.Lucas began walking.The corridors of the infernal palace stretched endlessly in every direction, carved from dark volcanic stone that seemed to drink in the red glow in the surrounding lava rivers. Shadows crawled around the walls like living things.Lucas barely noticed them.In his mind, the scene replayed again and again.The invisible hand squeezing the life out of him.The laughter.The mockery.The moment t

Chapter 44

The night hung heavy over the barren plains of the Lower Realm, where the faint glow of distant lava rivers cast long, jagged shadows across the cracked, blackened earth. The air smelled of sulfur and iron, and the distant wails of the tormented, echoed like whispers from the void.Lucas walked side by side with Selene, his boots leaving dark impressions on the scorched soil. "Why do you walk like you own nothing?" Selene asked, her voice cutting through the night. "Do you think the realm would learn to fear you if you keep walking like that?"Lucas lowered his head, jaw tight. He didn't reply."Keep your head up." Selene continued, circling him like a panther. "You still doubt yourself... you don't think you are strong enough_but Lucas, I've seen you. You have the power of a legion combined, and that power cannot be hidden any longer." She paused and held his shoulders, forcing him to meet her gaze. "We are here to rewrite your destiny. You must not hesitate. The moment you do that,

Chapter 45

The night rested quietly over the mansion, draping the walls in a soft, silver hush. Beyond the tall glass windows, the garden stretched endlessly, bathed in moonlight. The trees stood still, their shadows long and watchful, while the faint rustle of leaves whispered secrets only the darkness understood. Lucas stood before the window, unmoving. One hand rested lightly against the cool glasses, his gaze fixed somewhere beyond the garden_far past the trimmed hedges, past the iron gates, past glass, but even that seemed distant, as though the man staring back at him belonged to another time. His expression was unreadable. But his eyes... his eyes carried something heavier. A storm that had long passed, but somehow never left. Fragments of memory drifted through his mind like echoes refusing to fade. A voice. A laugh. A word that had once crafted itself into him. A word that had changed his entire being. WEAK. His jaw tightened slightly. For a moment, the silence around him fe

Chapter 46

The city light shimmered like scattered stars as the car came to a smooth halt in front of the mansion's gate. The night had been different. For once since Selene's return, there had been no tension clinging to Lucas's shoulders, no shadows lurking around his gaze. The plan had been to distract Aria, and take her mind off the weird thoughts that were creeping all over her, but it had worked for Lucas too. Sitting there while watching Aria eat, he had realized that he infact needed the distraction more. Before Aria found him at the window, he was long gone. Dragged into the abyss of his past, where no warmth existed. The dinner had been elegant, quiet, almost unreal_soft music, warm lighting, and the kind of attention that made Aria feel like she was the only person in the world. The whole time, Lucas watched her. Like a man who had lost his soul, but only found it when she was with him. Like a man, undeserving of her pureness. Her love. Like a man who had decided for a momen

Chapter 47

Days sped by.Lucas was full time playing house now with his human lover. And all these time, the goddess watched in silence though anger had eaten deep into her bones anytime she saw them.At some point, she decided_she couldn't sit and watch the monster she created become humanized because of a mere human.She was going to get rid of the problem with any means necessary.She decided it was time to put things back at their rightful places.And who knows_Lucas might be pleased after all.******Morning came softly, almost deceptively so.A pale wash of sunlight slipped through the curtains, stretching lazily across the room as if nothing in the world had ever been wrong. The air was calm and warm.Aria stirred beneath the sheets, her lashes fluttering before her eyes slowly opened. For a moment, she simply lay there, caught between sleep and waking, listening.She was alone in bed, which only meant Lucas had gone before she woke.There was silence in the mansion.Then_A faint click

Chapter 48

The front door opened with a quiet click.Aria heard it from the living room.Her entire body stilled.For a moment, she didn't move_didn't breathe_just sat there on the edge of the couch, her fingers tightly clasped together on her lap. She had been waiting.Not patiently.Not calmly.Waiting like someone standing at the edge of a decision they couldn't take back.Footsteps followed.Measured.Familiar.And yet... something about them felt heavier tonight.Lucas.Aria exhaled slowly, steadying herself before she stood.Their eyes met.She flashed him a smile, and something in his expression eased in response. The tension in his shoulders loosened as his gaze swept over her, as though silently confirming she was unharmed."Did you wait long?" He asked quietly, pulling her into his embrace."You left before I could wake." She murmured against his chest."I'm sorry, my darling. Something that needed my presence came up, and I couldn't bear to disturb your sleep." He stroked her hair wa

Chapter 49

The apartment was quiet. Not the heavy, suffocating silence of Lucas's mansion, where every shadow seemed to watch and every corner felt like it held secrets older than time itself. No. This silence was lighter. Human. Ordinary. And yet...it still didn't feel like home. Aria stood in the middle of the living room, her arms loosely folded as she took it all in again_as she had done every morning since she moved in. It was a modest space, but carefully chosen. The walls were painted in soft neutral tones, the furniture modern and simple, with just enough elegance to remind her that this wasn't something she could have afforded on her own. A wide window stretched across one side of the room, letting in morning light that spilled across the polished floor in warm, golden streaks. Outside, the city stirred_cars passing, distant voices, life moving on without hesitation. It should have felt comforting. And in some ways...it did. It was nothing like the mansion. Nothing like the
