Chapter 7 HIS PROPERTY

★★★★★

"Say that again!!!" He demanded and she gulped fearfully, fidgeting with her fingers.

She clamps her lips together as her breath seized instantly. His presence was giving her the chills.

He grinned knowing she's speechless.

"Follow me" he ordered and walked away.

Slowly, Tatiana exhaled loudly and trailed behind him...

He led her to the underground of the clan and her eyes widened on seeing people locked up in a basement.

They got to a particular basement where his tigers are kept and she gasped stepping backwards immediately.

She has never seen a tiger before! This is the first time she'll be setting her eyes on it.....

"Get the culprit!" He demanded and one of the mobsters brought one of the culprit that was caged.

He was struggling as they took him near the tigers cage.....

"Please..... don't do this.....I beg of you!" The man pleaded but it went on deaf ears.

Tatiana was breathing heavily as she watched the man plead for his life...

Is he this evil! This is scary!

"Throw him in!" Lucifer ordered and the mobsters unlocked the cage throwing the man into it before locking it immediately.

The tigers stood up as the man hit the gate continuously.

"Ahhh please....." Before he could complete his sentence, the tigers devoured his body, tearing him into pieces.

"Ahhhhhh" Tatiana screamed and turned back closing her eyes, she was breathing endlessly... She can't watch the scene.

She had just seen a tiger eat up a human!!! This is too horrific. She can't bear it....

She felt a presence behind her and she gulped knowing who it was.

"If I hadn't caught you here in the clan, my pet would have fed on you!" He grinned and she shivered, her lips trembling against each other.

"What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg!" He added.

"Don, Godfather is back!" One of the mobsters informed and he turned to his direction.

He darkened his eyes, facing Tatiana for a moment before leaving.

Tatiana trembled, hugging her body as she was speechless. She couldn't say a word.

Did he just......

This is terrible, she had understimated the devil himself.

"Miss, you need to go up!" One of the mobsters jolted her out of her thought and she nodded fearfully.

She led herself out of the underground then to her room in the quarters. She remembered the scene earlier and she became terrified.

Everything seems to replay in her head..

TRAINING GROUND*

Three vipers were only present in the ground training, just Scar, Blaze and Lila.

"Where's onyx!" Scar asked.

"You missing him already!" Lila muttered and she scoffed.

"Indeed!" She rolled her eyeballs.

Suddenly, onyx ran into the training ground.

He bent as he was breathing heavily. "Guys, Godfather is back!" He said and they exclaimed.

"Seriously!" Blaze lifted his brows.

"Yea, we also have a mission to accomplish soon! Nexus said we should at the cybercell before 4" He added.

"That was fast!" Scar muttered and he blinked.

"What do you mean?" Onyx asked.

"Nothing!!!" She chuckled and onyx stared suspiciously at her.

"Oops, I gotta go!" He muttered and left.

"Gosh, Scar am a bit tired. I need to rest!" Lila groaned.

"Are you okay!" Scar asked.

"I'm fine.....just having sleepless night" she lied and blaze shook worriedly.

"Stop kidding Lila!" Scar chuckled and Lila joined her.

"You got me, any gums with you?" She asked.

"You know I get teeth decay anytime I take gums!" Scar replied.

"Oh really!"

"Yeah!"

"Going to the suite. Join me for a sprint laterrr!" Lila waved and left.

Blaze stopped what he was doing and left too.

"What the....am I supposed to be the only one here!" Scar yelled, rolling her eyes.

Blaze met up with Lila walking beside her.

"Lila!" He called and she faced him.

"What again, Brazzier!" She asked folding her arms.

"Let take a walk!" He suggested and she frowned.

"Not interested!" She declined bluntly and his shoulders fell.

"Is going to relieve you of your stress!" He urged but she shook her head and turned away, leaving.

He was hurt as he palmed his face.

"Shit!"

"Hey!" Someone tapped his shoulders softly and he turned to see Lilith smiling sheepishly.

"What wrong?" She asked but he didn't respond.

"Nevermind!" He replied walking away.

She held his arm and he halted facing her.

"Wait"

"Let walk together!" She suggested, flashing him a smile but he frowned.

He didn't say a word as he withdrew his hands leaving. She furrowed her brows and walked to his pace.

"Hey!" She called.

"Stop forcing yourself on me, it annoying!" He yelled and she staggered back nervously.

He hissed and walked away.

Lilith bit her lips hard till it bled as her heart shattered. She grinned and marched towards the opposite direction.

★

Lucifer took fast strides to a certain suite to see an august visitor waiting.

"Godfather!" He called and Godfather Alejandro faced him.

"Enzo!!!, it being long!" He grinned and Lucifer raised his brows.

"Why the unexpected visit?" He asked.

"Do I need an invite?"

"Not that!"

"Sit, we have a lot to talk about!" He snapped and Lucifer exhaled. He's the only one Lucifer had respected in the whole clan.

They sat as Lucifer gestured to one of the mobsters, whispering something into his ear.

Soon, the mobster left.

Godfather Alejandro crossed his legs as his eyes scrutinized the room.

"I can see you are ruling this clan perfectly just like I wanted" he twitched his lips but Lucifer didn't reply, his face motionless.

"Right now, I can sense Roberto plotting something. He's being quiet these days" he added and Lucifer lifted his brows.

"Like a spy!"

"Watch those around you especially new members!" Godfather Alejandro mumbled and Lucifer thought for a while.

Suddenly, someone came in with a tray containing two glasses.

Tatiana walked towards them and slowly, she dropped the drink on the table with two glass cup.

Instantly, she uncapped it and poured the content into the glass cup

Without saying a word, she dropped the drink and left the room silently.

Godfather Alejandro eyes followed her until she was out and he faced Lucifer.

"She's totally different from others!" He muttered.

"I made it that way!" He replied taking the drink.

"Why?" He asked, lifting his brows.

"Nevermind!" Lucifer replied as Alejandro stared at him suspiciously.

"Remember, I raised you to be heartless, not for Love!" He grinned and Lucifer faced him.

"Who said I was having feelings for anyone. , IT SUCKS!!!"

"Better!" Godfather Alejandro muttered and took his drink.

SCAR & LILA'S SUITE*

Scar wasn't in sight when Lilith walked into the suite to see Lila laying on the couch.

On noticing a presence, Lila sprang up and faced the direction.

"Twinnie, what are you doing here!" She asked but Lilith didn't reply as she came in front of her.

"I just want to ask a question from you!" Lilith began and Lila raised her eyebrows.

"What that?" She asked.

"Do you like blaze!?" She asked and Lila frowned.

"What do you mean, of course No. I don't have feelings for him not even a crush!" She shrugged.

"Why you asking?"

"Because I like him but he seem to be all over you!" Lilith replied.

"huh!"

"You're giving him high hopes Lila!" She said raising her voice.

"No, I'm not!"

"Since you don't like him, why don't you tell him to stay away from you!" Lilith muttered and Lila exhaled loudly.

"I can't!" She declined bluntly.

"Why? But you just said......" Lilith broke down.

"Because we work together........." Lila muttered and Lilith bit her lips.

"We're identical right?" She asked and Lila nodded.

"Only our hairs made us different..... your's is light brown while mine is dark" She added and Lila frowned.

What is she plotting!!!

"What are you planning Lilith!" Lila asked.

"Maybe we exchange ourselves, just for a day.......we can change the colours of our hairs!" Lilith blurted and Lila eyes widened.

"What!!!"

"Are you this desperate!" Lila asked.

"Twinnie please, just for a day. I just want to be around him please sis!" Lilith plead and Lila inhaled then exhaled.

★

Tatiana released the breath she was holding as she walked towards the kitchen.

Her stomach is rumbling as she's damn hungry...

Just before she could go in, someone stopped her.

"Hey, you freaking thief!" She heard a voice behind and she turned to see three group of maids holding brooms, one was holding a key only.

"Take this, sweep up the field!" One of them pushed the broom to her chest as she held it unexpectedly.

"Take this key...." Another threw her a key as she was taken aback by their reaction.

"Go to the store and clean it up!" She added and Tatiana frowned deeply.

"Get it done in two hours!" The last one muttered.

"What is the meaning of this!?" She asked just as they were about to walk away.

"We just gave you a task since you're jobless!" One of them replied folding her arms.

"Well, I'm not doing them!" Tatiana blurted throwing the broom and the keys towards them and their eyes widened.

"What!"

"I'm not here to work for you, so if you don't respect yourselves, then get your bones broken next time!" Tatiana threatened, and hissed before walking away.

She hated being cheated up! Something that isn't meant for her.

She remembered telling them about breaking their bones and she blinked. She actually can't fight nor throw punches but she knew how to convince someone that she can, using a feisty emotion.

But deep down, she's too soft but she hated being cheated upon.

The maids had glares on their face as they poured it all on Tatiana's retreating backs.

"What gut!" One of them gritted.

"She'll pay for this!!" Another grinned and they left.

HOSPITAL*

Antonio was fully awake and strong as the doctor stood in front of him, he was sitting up as he stared up at the doctor.

"We've been trying to reach your daughter but she's not picking up!" The doctor said and he sighed.

Where could she be?

"Don't you think she abandon you here?" The doctor asked and he frowned.

"She can't, I know my daughter can't abandon me here. Even if I was to die, she'll be with me till my last breath!" He replied, knowing the kind of daughter he has.

"But it the opposite right now, the person who paid for your surgery is unknown and now there is no one who can sign your discharge papers!" The doctor snapped.

"I'll sign it myself!" He concluded and the doctor inhaled then exhaled.

"Fine, the nurse will bring the papers to you!" He agreed and left.

Antonio faced sideways as he thought of Tatiana.

Where has she wandered to!?

NIGHT~DARK VIPERS CLAN*

Tatiana was walking towards Lucifer's lair as summoned when someone dragged her into a corner.

He had a hoodie on covering his face as Tatiana furrowed her brows.

The figure removed the hoodie revealing Niko.

"Niko!" She exclaimed covering her mouth.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I'm here to save you, I'm sure you're having a hard time here and if care is not taken. You'll get killed!" He urged and she lifted her brows.

"Look, I can help you escape without no traces. You'll be free and get to meet your father!" He added.

"Wait! How did you get in here in the first place?" She asked.

"That a long story Tiana, you need to escape. Lucifer is really dangerous for innocent you!" He replied and she recalled what happened earlier today where he had fed his tigers a victim.

She swallowed as she stared at Niko who was convincing her...

★

Tatiana hugged her body as she walked towards the lair. It was really late and only a few mobsters could be seen hanging around the clan.

She remembered how Niko persuaded her and she sighed.

Should she escape with his help or Continue staying here trapped in his web.

She couldn't think as she shook her head vigorously. She was punished the last time she did such.

She can't do it again!!!

She walked further to a clear dark path only for someone to block her way. With the way he was, it looks like he was a mobster but he was drunk.

"Hey baby, let go have some fun!" He chuckled and Tatiana frowned disgustingly.

"Escuse me!" She rolled her eyes trying to move away but he blocked her again.

"Hey, what do you want?" She asked.

"You!" He replied drunkly and she scoffed.

She wanted to push him out of her way when he grabbed her tightly and she winced loudly.

"Ahhh!"

The guy dragged her to a corner as she struggled to release herself from his grip but it was too tight.

"You look quite enticing and sweet!" The guy grinned.

Just before he could touch her dress, someone grabbed his arm tightly and he screamed as the figure fingers dived into his arms.

"Yaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Tatiana heaved as she looked up to see her savior

Lucifer!!!

"How dare you touch my property!" He thundered and the mobster shivered not able to say a word.

He twisted his arm as the guy screamed loudly...

"You'll remember this day when you get to hell!" He grinned and Tatiana eyes widened.

He's going to kill him? Because of her?

Instantly, the man bones cracked loudly as Lucifer twisted it more harder turning it around.

It was gonna break!!!

Tatiana gasped!
