Lucifer slammed his bloodied palms on the table beside her body making her gasp out in horror. The person that caged her wasn't the one she knew.

Lucifer used to cry loudly at the smallest cut or bruise and this Lucifer wasn't even wincing at the whole damn deep wound. He was just glaring and glaring at her.

His jaw was clenched while the veins were popping out of his neck making Catelin scared out of her wits. She didn't expect him to be triggered this much. She just wanted to push his few buttons so he could follow her to the hospital but instead, it turned out something which she didn't want it to.

"I dare you to fucking repeat what you said." He hissed leaning to her face making her gulp down in fear. She leaned back a little but it didn't do any justice in reducing the distance between them.

"Dare say it again." He repeated pausing right in front of her face. His hazel eyes darken in anger while his nostrils were flaring, upset from what she said earlier.

"FUCKING SAY IT." She flinched letting out a small yelp when he slammed his bloodied hand on the table beside her and yelled right on her face.

She tried turning her face away from him as he leaned even closer but he didn't let her. Grabbing the back of her head with his other hand he jerked her head forward making her gasp out in horror.

"How dare you. How fucking dare you to sa that you like someone that's not me. How dare you even talk about another man. HOW DARE YOU." She stared at him with wide horrified eyes while he rapidly moved his pupils in anger.

The stare he was throwing at her wasn't merciful at all. Her heartbeat was ringing all over the room but he refused to listen to her fear. He couldn't forget the words she said earlier.

Grabbing her jaw with his bloodied fingers he pulled her head up to the extend at her neck was fully on display. She whimpered out feeling pain in the back of her head.

"I love you so fucking much and this is how you want to break me. But my beautiful doll. It's not that easy to break me. Do you think I am that much of an idiot to not see your tricks?" He seethed through his gritting teeth before jerking her face closer making her gasp out.

"You want to take me to that psychiatrist right. Do you think I am a fool? You can fool that bitch kid but not me. Fucking stop getting on my nerves or I swear I will end up losing my control."

Her trembling hands finally got some strength as she pulled them up grabbing his hand which was holding her jaw. His grip wasn't strong but it was still terrifying for her to witness a side of him she was never aware of.

Hearing his words her heart fell in her gut realizing her every trick backfiring at her. The proximity didn't do any good for her to control the feelings her heart was raising.

But she refused to let her heart control her. As soon as her soft touch fell on his rough skin his eyes soften and his grip on her jaw completely loosen up dropping his hand down.

They both stared at each other for God knows how long. Lucifer's bloodshot eyes started softening making the anger replaced with only admiration for her.

Seeing the fear in her eyes for him didn't help him but feel disgusted with himself for using force on her. He tried. He tried hard to not lash out at her. But her words just triggered him beyond his control.

"Your hand is bleeding Lucifer." He said nothing only stared at her. His eyes were screaming so many things but his lips refused to let them out.

He wrapped his bulky arm around her waist making her instantly held him as he pulled her up. She without realising wrapped her legs around his torso fearing the fall.

Lucifer didn't say anything only walked towards their rooms. She expected him to bring her to her room but instead, he opened his room's door and brought her inside along with him.

She had no choice as she was completely attached to him like a koala. If she let him go she would only fell. She didn't want to anger him more as well so she decided to play along with him.

He gently placed her on the edge of the bed before kneeling in front of her. His eyes stared at her with nothing but adoration for her. His gaze was weirdly different.

"What about my heart then." She looked up at him with a frown.

He grabbed her hand in his bloodied one pulling her tiny palm towards his chest placing it on his heart making her breath hitched at how fast it was beating.

"It's bleeding too. What about healing it. Because you're doing nothing except wounding it again and again." Her eyes widened slightly hearing his words as her own heart started accelerating meeting the pace of his heartbeat.

"I just want to live with you. I just want to spend my life with you then why is it so hard for you to accept me. Just once say yes and I swear I will fight with everything just for this world to accept us. Just once say yes."

He breathed out leaning to her face making her breathing unevenly as she knew what he wanted to do. His lips were leaning towards hers making her part her lips in anticipation.

The way he said those words were enough to force her to give up. It was so easy for him to control her. The control he has over her was beyond her imagination.

Her heart even her mind was now occupied only by the thought of his lips on hers. She wasn't in her control anymore. All she could think or feel was his words and love.

Her eyes closed on their own as he kept on decreasing the distance. As soon as she felt his hot breath on her cheeks something flashed in her mind.

I will bring our Lucifer back.

I will help him recover no matter how. I promise aunty our Lucifer will come back.

Her eyes shot open only to find Lucifer's lips brushing hers. His eyes were closed ready to attack her plump lips.

She gasped out placing her palms on his shoulders and leaning backwards. Lucifer's eyes shot open as well as he looked at her in confusion. Just a minute ago she has given up then why.
