His Sanity by Mirah Selim (great book club books .txt) 📖

"I don't want to marry Lucifer."

This stopped Lucifer's breathing who were standing outside the door. He had some doubts but he never in his dreams thought that after what the doctor had told her she will still refuse the proposal.

His hands balled up into tight fists. How dare she. How could she? She can't just push him aside. She's his. She can't do this. She has to be his.

You have no other option King. Play your cards otherwise, your queen might end up escaping.

He felt an electric shot in his head hearing the words ringing in his head. He breathed out shaking his head to get rid of the pain.

Don't do this. Cate will never forgive you for this.

His clenched fist hit the wall beside the door as the voices became louder and louder.

And do you think she will love you being a bitch kid?

Your not meant to be loved Lucifer. She wouldn't love you. But you can have her.

Use your power. Make her yours. Otherwise, she will leave you too.

He coughed a little feeling another thump of pain in his head as another voice spoke.

I wouldn't be surprised if she left him. Don't use force. She will hate you.

That scared him but again his sinister mind did it. Made him vulnerable and helpless. He can't afford to lose her and his sanity was doing best in manipulating his senses.

Ha, it's not like he's supposed to be loved. He's better to be hated than losing her.

"Stop stop. Stop I SAID STOP. AHH." He screamed out punching the wall before slamming his aching head against it. The door got slammed open revealing panicked Catelin and Martin.

"Son what the hell are you doing." Martin forcefully pulled his raging beast son away from smashing his head. But Lucifer was out of control he kept on struggling in his father's arms.

No matter how much Martin tries but still Lucifer was way stronger than him. He roughly pushed his father against the wall making him groan in pain.

Lucifer smashef his head again and was about to do that for second time but instantly stopped when he heard a painful cry and felt no pain on his forehead.

He pulled away only to find a tiny palm blocking his way to the wall. His blood had smeared on her palm. He could see how her hand was trembling in obvious fear and pain.

Her teary eyes met his bloodshot ones clenching his heart. "Go ahead hit as much as you want. I wouldn't stop you but I wouldn't stop interfering as well." She let out a small sob making him feel a pang of immense guilt.

Voices disappeared from his throbbing mind and he slowly held her hand that was placed on the wall. She hissed audibly making him tear up as well.

"I am sorry I am so so sorry." He said kissing all over her throbbing hand before gently pulling her in his embrace. She without any protest hugged him back and kissed his forehead.

No one spoke a word. Lilian and Martin both were on the verge of crying but said nothing to their wounded son. Catelin gently pulled him into the hallway and made him sit down on the sofa.

She came back with the first aid box. Tears weren't stopping from her eyes. She kept on sniffling and wiping the blood from his forehead. She blew on the wound softly bandaging his head.

She kept on wiping her tears using the back of her hand making him more guilty. He had no idea why she was so much affected when she refused to accept him.

Extending his trembling hand he wiped her damped cheeks making her look in his bloodshot eyes. She was done with the bandaging and held his hand that was on her cheek.

"Don't do that again. You scared me so much." She whispered kissing his hand that was placed on her cheek. His eyes fell on her hand and a way of regret washed up his cells.

The back of her hand had turned slightly purplish. How couldn't she see how much she's bruised up. She was just crying and kissing his hand repeating for him to not do this again.

He gently grabbed her hand making her hiss a little because of the pain she didn't realise before. Grabbing the ointment from the first aid box he applied it on her hand before wrapping her hand in a bandage too.

He held her hand up and kissed them lovingly. "I am sorry Catey. Because of me your hurt. I am so sorry." She shook her head smiling at him.

"Promise me you wouldn't do that again." She said in a stern tone.

"I promise. I promise I will try not to but I just can't control myself. I am sorry." Her gaze again softens hearing his words.

Martin couldn't help but feel more grateful for Catelin for taking care of his son. If it wasn't for her he had no idea what his son would have ended up doing. Or more precisely damaging.

They had lunch together and Lucifer fed Catelin as her hand was aching a lot. She had to take a pain killer as her hand hadn't stopped throbbing from pain.

Lucifer finally went to his room while Catelin. Lilian and Martin left in the hallway making them look at her. She suddenly got a call from the psychiatrist.

She excused herself and went to the kitchen to talk to the psychiatrist. She was indeed waiting for her call. This call will help her make her mind.

Finally ending the call with a heavy sigh she walked out of the kitchen only to find her Uncle and Aunt still waiting for her.

"Why." After a long time of silence Martin finally questioned the girl making her sigh out heavily.

"I still don't want to marry Lucifer Uncle." She again repeated her words making Lilian looked down in defeat.

Even though the couple was desperate for her to accept their son but again when she said no that's mean no. They can't oppress her to accept something she doesn't want to.

"I said no because marriage isn't the solution for his mental state uncle." Both Lilian and Martin's head snapped towards her in curiosity.

"Trust me, uncle. Lucifer is like an oxygen I breathe. He's important to me more than anything. But think. Just for once think what will happen if one day finally he will succeed in gaining his sanity back then tell me."
