Lucifer smirked at the girl laying on his chest. He removed the strands of her hair from her cheek before caressing her flush flesh. Her beautiful soft skin made his smirk widened.

He knew what his father asked her. When she left him on the bed. He had a nightmare the moment she left him. He was angry at her for leaving so he decided to scold her.

He reached his father's office and was about to barge in but stopped when he heard only one sentence from his father's mouth.

"Will you marry Lucifer."

His system froze and his feet got stuck on the spot. He was beyond shook. He always thought that he has to do other things to make his father agree on marrying Catelin. Or simply he has to force her to marry him.

But his father left him baffled by almost begging the love of his life to accept him. Lucifer heard Catelin asking for some time and it didn't surprise him he knew she had no feelings for him so she might not accept it.

But he made his mind. He will do anything for her to accept this proposal. Because once she will say I do. Her fate will be stamped with his name for a lifetime.

And last night when he heard her question he understood right away what she was thinking. He could easily see that she was giving the proposal a thought.

But he still has some doubts.

"Don't Worry Doll. Once you will say yes. We will go far away from everyone. You and I. No one else will come between us. Only us and the beautiful home we will build together."

He mumbled under his breath not wanting her to hear him. He couldn't wait for her to be his with her everything. He couldn't help but think about the things he wanna do with her.

His gaze instantly turned innocent one when she moved like a small kitten on his chest. He smiled widely watching her opening her eyes. He loved how small she looked compared to him.

Her palms. Her face. Her body everything looks so small in front of him and he loves it. Finally, she smiled as soon as she looked at him but soon it fades away seeing each others position.

"Lucifer look at the time. Get up you have an appointment." Lucifer groaned childishly in annoyance hearing her words.

She tried removing his arms from her body just instead he tightened his grip on her making her annoyed.

"If you don't let me go right now then I wouldn't talk to you for a whole week." Lucifer stared at her with wide eyes and pouting lips.

"B-But." He tried protesting.

"No buts let me go or else." She again warned him making him huff out.

"Fine." She smiled with a smug face before finally getting away from his body. She let a small moan feeling her neck making a crack sound. She glared at the responsible for her stiff neck making him smile sheepishly.

"Now get up we are going to the hospital. And fast ok after coming back I have something important to discuss with Uncle. Come on." Saying that she exited his room not noticing a small smirk appearing on the guy's lips.

"Oh yes. Important indeed." Today he's gonna throw his last card and this card will turn their lives upside down.

Catelin brought Lucifer to his psychiatrist who gulped watching Lucifer's eyes on her. He hardly controlled himself from rolling his eyes at the scared lady and followed her inside leaving comforting Catelin behind.

She comforted him again and again. Telling him to not be scared. Nervous or hesitate. Share his problems with the woman. But poor her if only she knew. Her care only made Lucifer stare at her with affection swirling in his eyes.

He didn't hear her one word only stared at her while she talked nonstop. Finally, the doctor called him in and he followed her with an innocent face. But it changed as soon as he entered the room.

"Mr Kin--- Ah." She let a muffled scream being slammed against the wall. As soon as they entered the room he grabbed her throat slamming her against the wall but not before palming her lips as well so she couldn't be able to make a sound.

"Listen here bitch. And listen carefully. Your the going to tell Catelin the same things I am gonna tell you right now. Understood." The woman nodded her head desperately when he applied a force on her throat. He started speaking while glaring at her.

His grip didn't break her way for breathing but still, his posture and eyes were enough to suffocate her in fear. She knew everything about Lucifer. She knew what is he. What his mental condition is.

But before she could tell it to Catelin or his parents he made sure to scare her to the point that whenever her eyes fell on him. She forgets everything except fear.

He ended his words making her question herself what she should do. "Do you get it? Or not." She instantly nodded her fearing for her life when he squeezed her throat making her gasp out.

"So what will you do now lovely doc." He said pulling his hand away from her mouth. She breathed out heavily making him smirk like a sadist at how desperately she was inhaling.

"I-I will tell h-her the same t-things you t-told me right n-now." Lucifer hummed before placing his palms beside her head on the wall and leaning to the old lady's face making her more scared.

"Her who Doc." She trembled furiously at his tone.

"Cateli-- I mean Mrs. King." He smiled satisfied with her answer. He hates it when someone calls his doll by her name. She's not to be disrespected. When everyone calls him Mr. King and why his queen is being called by her name.

He knew she's not his wife yet. But he also knew she will be soon. After all, she has no choice. She has to be his either with easy way or the hard way.

He straightens his posture before dusting his jacket and staring at the trembling lady. She gasped out when he placed his palm on her shoulder chuckling out.

"Relax Doc. Let's start our session. And finish it fast I am missing my doll." She nodded vigorously before walking towards her table with trembling legs and gulping a glass of water.
