Chapter 9 NOT HER, YOU!

★★★★★

"I said sit!" He demanded and she blinked twice.

Slowly, she sat on the furnished chair, her eyes casted downwards.

Lucifer pushed most of his meal to her and her eyes widened.

"Eat!" He blurted and she gasped.

He's behaving strange. This is unlike him, is this the Lucifer she knew?

He stood up and went into his inner room quietly. Tatiana's eyes followed him in shock and disbelief.

Just as he went out of sight, she faced the meal in front of her as her mouth watered hungrily.

Instantly, she devoured the food moaning at each taste.

VIXEN & HELLCAT SUITE*

Hellcat was grinning as she furiously walked into the suite to meet Vixen on her phone.

"What with that face?" Vixen asked.

"Shit! She f*cking took me for granted huh!" Hellcat half yelled.

"Who's that?" Vixen asked again.

"That bitch! Lucifer's......"

"Oh u mean, Tatiana!" Vixen cut her off.

"Don't f*cking mention her name!" Hellcat yelled and she scoffed

"Wait a minute, why did you resent her this much?" Vixen asked but she rolled her eyes.

"Lucifer is not yours in the first place, you two are just fuckmates!. You may have feelings for him but you can't show it so how do you think he'll reciprocate" She added.

"Time!" Hellcat muttered.

"Time? Time wait for no one....do you know how many years you've been waiting for time. 6 years cat!!!, Let it go. Don is not someone you can underestimate!" Vixen said and Hellcat glared at her.

"But I won't allow that rascal near him!"

"He made her his, so deal with it..." Vixen replied and she clenched her fist angrily.

An idea crept into her head and a dark smirk crinkled at the corner of her lips as she walked into her room.

"What do you wanna do!?" Vixen asked.

"Don't ask me!" Hellcat replied as she went out of sight.

BLOOD VESSELS CLAN*

Roberto was sitting gallantly on an armrest chair, a tube pipe on his lips as he puffed out smokes, filling the room.

His eyes were damn red and bloodshot as he inhaled more...

Suddenly, Razor came in as instructed walking towards Roberto.

"Don!" He greeted and Roberto nodded slowly.

"I don't think Niko is doing anything in that clan!" He added and Roberto instantly withdrew the tobacco pipes.

"What has he been doing! Stalking?" He asked, his voice rising.

"Not that boss, he's pursuing a lady who happens to be Lucifer's property!" He replied.

"Property, he made a lady his thing. How ridiculous!" He chuckled hard.

"He doesn't do love so how is there a lady at his fingertips?" He asked himself.

"Not known yet don!" Razor replied and he grinned.

"What about Niko boss!"

"Inform him to come back before midnight or he'll get beheaded!" He threatened and Razor nodded.

"Yes Don" he mumbled and left.

Roberto clicked his tongues as he grunted.

"Property!" He mumbled, caressing his chin.

★★★★★

MORTUARY*

Antonio walked into the mortuary slowly, his eyes gazing around the numerous grave lowered around the big land.

Some people could be seen in front of some graves, crying while some were with flowers placing it on the top of it.

Antonio bit his lips as he remembered how he lost his wife, Tatiana's mother and he blinked tears.

His eyes roamed around but no sign of Tatiana. She's always frequent in this place but today's different.

He sighted a particular grave and he moved towards him kneeling beside it as he brought his hands to it.

His gaze flickered at the old picture of a woman in her 30's and he closed his eyes slowly remembering his past.

"Rayyan, don't go yet! Don't go!"

"I have to attend to someone honey....I'll be back in a jiffy"

"I have a bad feeling about this rayyan. You're not safe!"

"Don't be too overprotective Tony, I'll be back muah!"

Her smiles filled his head as tears fell from his eyes.

★★★★★

DARK VIPERS CLAN*

Lila was on her own walking towards her suite when Blaze came towards her suddenly and she turned.

"Hey, are you okay!?" He asked worriedly and she let out a sly smile.

"I'm fine!" She replied, playing with her fingers.

Blaze noticed something strange as he furrowed his brows but he soon shrugged.

"You've been quiet throughout today, are you seriously alright?" He asked again and she groaned.

"I'm fine, just stressed!" She replied, facing forward.

She can't bring herself to face him at all.

"Let me walk you to your suite then!" He offered and she smiled.

"Thanks!"

Blaze lifted his eyes. Something is definitely wrong, the Lila he knows would turn his offer down.

"Okay!"

They started walking together while chatting continuously.

Just then, Lilith was coming from the opposite side when her gaze met with the duo.

Somehow she felt deranged as her heart thickened.

She felt something she has never felt before.

Jealousy?

Suddenly, someone tapped her and she jolted turning to see pierce.

"Who are you staring at?" She asked.

"Nothing, no one!" She shook her head negatively.

"Let go, we still need to do more training so we can get to be as strong as the vipers!" Pierce urged taking her hand.

Lilith scoffed. "Indeed!"

Pierce frowned. "I thought you wanted to be as strong as your twin sister!"

"Huh! I said that?" Lilith asked.

"Yeah, do you forget things that easily?"

"Nevermind, let go!" Lilith snapped and turned away as Pierce followed her.

She brought out her phone and sent a message before dipping it back into her pocket.

"Hey, are your legs that long. You walk too fast!" Pierce muttered and she scoffed inwardly.

"Meet my pace then!"

Meanwhile, Lila phone dinged and she halted. Blaze halted too as she brought out her phone to see a message from Lilith.

✉️ LET SEE AT MY SUITE BY 8PM TONIGHT, SCAR ISN'T ALWAYS AROUND AT THAT TIME.

Blaze wanted to peeps into it when Lila covered it.

"What are you hiding?" He asked.

"Nothing!" She replied and they continued walking.

LUCIFER'S LAIR*

Tatiana was busy cleaning the suite stressfully, she dropped the napkins she's using and rested on a nearby table.

The suite is always clean not even a dirt could be seen on it but as told, she must clean it up every single day.

Subsequently, her eyes met with a particular wristwatch made of a sapphire beside her.

She took it, her eyes roaming around it.

"Wanna steal another!" A hoarse voice came behind her and she shrieked dropping the wristwatch immediately.

She turned back to see Lucifer walking towards her and she gulped down hard.

He wasn't putting on his hat like always and he was on an armless black top which revealed his tattoos perfectly.

He got to her and she swallowed. He was actually an inch away from her.

He moved his face closer to hers and she trembled greatly.

What does he wanna do?

Lucifer brought out his hands reaching her back. She closed her tightly, his presence was making her breathlessly and scared at the same time.

She could smell his scent which she can't describe at all. It was magical, who knows how a mafia lord could have such.

Suddenly, he moved away from her and she exhaled opening her eyes to see him putting on the wristwatch she had taken earlier.

Her eyes met with a drawing on his arm and she furrowed her brows. She had actually saw this drawing familiarly before but she can't recall where she had seen it.

It was a drawing of a rock and an arrow stabbed into it.

"What were you thinking huh!" He asked and she clamps her lips together taking the napkin she's using.

She shook her head instantly, "Nothing!" She replied and he lifted his brows.

"But, please can I go see my father. I need to know how he's doing!" She pleaded and he twitched his lips.

He took fast strides towards her leaning behind her ears.

"Isn't he the reason you were here!" He whispered and she gulped.

"Can........"

"No, not yet!" He snapped leaving the suite and she groaned.

★

Niko hid in a corner and brought out a phone from his pocket silently, he looked around to be sure no one's is there.

"Hey Niko!"

"Why are you calling me at this period?" He asked.

"I just want to talk to you!" She replied.

"About what?"

"The money you promised me, it has been a week now!" She grunted.

"Forget it Cesca, goodbye!" He snapped and hung up immediately without waiting for her to say a word.

Just then, another call came in and he groaned only to see it someone else.

He picked it and placed it on his ears.

"Hello!"

"Niko, you need to leave that clan now!"

"Why!" He asked.

"Get back to the Vessels before midnight!" The voice came again.

"Is there anything wrong!" Niko asked again.

"I'm sure you don't wanna get beheaded!" The voice threatened and he grinned.

"F*ck!" With that, he hung up. He had totally forgotten what he was supposed to be doing in this clan.

"I love that!" A voice came and Niko shivered immediately.

Someone is there!

Niko turned to the other side only to see Venom standing akimbo, his arms crossed.

"Erm....."

"You're a spy, ain't you?" Venom asked and he twitched his lips.

"I don't know what you're talking about, please!"

"Of course you do but you decided to play smart and I ain't gonna fall for that!" Venom glared up and instantly, a flying kick came across Niko's Face and he staggered back.

"I'm a new recruited member, I can't spy here!" Niko defended and Venom chuckled.

He grabbed his chin up immediately.

"You thought I wouldn't know, you're from the blood vessels yet you came here, for what actually?" He grinned and instantly, Niko grabbed his arm and turned him around.

A pen Knife fell from him and he bent instantly to pick it bit venom beat him to it, grabbing his neck.

"Don't play smart, I can just end you with a slit!" Venom yelled placing the knife on his neck tightening it.

Niko gritted his teeth defeatedly.

★

CYBERCELL*

The six vipers were already present as Lucifer walked in coupled with Godfather Alejandro.

The vipers casted their head down till they got to the front of the system.

"Have you found them all?" Godfather Alejandro.

"Not yet Godfather, they seem to be hiding really well! but I found one though!" He replied and went through his system.

"He's in a gambling house at Sicily right now!" Vixen said and Lucifer grinned.

"That must have been his favorite spot!" Lucifer added.

"He seems to be cunny!" Vixen muttered.

"Get him before tomorrow midnight?" Lucifer snapped and they nodded.

"Yes Don!"

Soon, they left. He has been caught don

★

UNDERGROUND WALLS

Lucifer walked down to the underground while venom and blaze followed suit.

"Here he is don!" Venom muttered pointing at a particular cage.

"I see!"

Niko's body was heated as he became furious.

"Open it up!" Lucifer ordered one of the mobsters around and they quickly opened up the gate.

Niko was dragged out, his hands tied at the back as he looked scornfully at Lucifer.

"You did a good job being a spy here!" He said calmly and Niko grinned.

"I also do see him with your property boss!" Venom added and Lucifer bent towards him.

"What business do you have with her!?" He asked and he glared at him.

"Let her go, you devil. She did what she did to save her dad!" Niko thundered and Lucifer just raised his brows.

"Do you this place is the perfect location to steal!" He asked again.

"You haven't answered my question rascal, what relationship do you have with her?" He added and Niko just grinned angrily, he was trying to release his hands from the rope used to tie him.

"and why did Roberto send you here?"

"I won't tell you anything. Kill me if you want!" He yelled and immediately, a loud slap landed on his cheek and his Lips started bleeding.

"Take him back in!" Lucifer said, firmly and stood up.

Just as the two mobsters took him up, he finally remove the ropes and hit one of the mobsters in his tummy making him fall on his knees.

He gave the other the a flying kick and he fell. Instantly, he took one of their pistols aiming it at Lucifer.

"Monster!" He thundered.

As if they expected it, they waited facing him without moving.

"Die!!!!!, f*cking die!!!!!" Niko yelled again and released bullet to their direction but it didn't touch them at all as they swiftly dodged it.

Mistakenly, one of the bullet met with Lucifer's shoulders and he frowned deeply taking his dark gaze to Niko who's already loss on bullets.

Just then, a bullet rammed into his legs and he groaned, another went to his other legs and he fell weakly, screaming hard.

He couldn't move his legs as Lucifer shot the two legs at once again.

"Arghhhhhh"

"Just kill me already huh!" He half yelled.

"Take him back in!" He instructed and this time, Venom and blaze did the job as they pushed Niko into the cage furiously locking it on him.

Lucifer walked out of the underground, his face expressionless. The blood on his shoulders wet his shirt but he cared less.

This is just a little of what he had faced.

He walked ahead as Venom and blaze trailed behind him.

BLOOD VESSELS CLAN*

Roberto grabbed a bitch hair tightly as he groaned. She was actually giving him a blow job as he grabbed her head pushing all his whole into her mouth.

"F*ck!" He groaned feeling the sensation coming from it.

Instantly, he poured his release into her mouth and she swallowed it all.

Suddenly, Razor came in rushly and Roberto quickly pick up a pistol and shot at his direction but he dodged it.

"It important Don!"

"What so important?" Roberto yelled.

"It Niko, he has been caught!" Razor blurted and Roberto eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

"What!!!"

DARK VIPERS CLAN*

KITCHEN*

Tatiana was washing the dishes as instructed by Madam Gina. Some maids eyes were on her while some were busy.

"Gosh, she's annoying me!" One of the maids said glaring at Tatiana.

"Why?"

"The way she looks!"

"That jealously, c'mon let go!" Her friend urged as they walked to the other side of the kitchen.

Subsequently, someone came in and advanced towards them.

"Girls, I just saw the don right now!" She exclaimed.

"Anything wrong!?" One of them asked.

"He's bleeding in his shoulders but he isn't behaving as if he isn't feeling the pains!" She replied and they chuckled.

"Is that a big deal!, something like that has happened countless times. He can't feel the pain, that why he's called a devil!"

"He might not even treat that wound"

"Jeez!"

Tatiana had heard their conversation and she frowned. A devil indeed!

★

SCAR & LILA'S SUITE*

Lilith walked into the suite, just like she had inspected. Scar isn't in sight.

Lila was just coming from the inner room when her gaze met with Lilith in front of her.

"Lila!"

"Lilith"

"We need to go back to who we were before Lilith!"

"Can you please just add a day......."

"Aren't you being desperate right now!!! We need to change back our hair colours right away. I brought the dye!" Lila muttered, raising a plastic bottles and Lilith face fell.

"My phone!" She asked.

"There it is!" Lilith replied and Lila eyes darted towards it and she took it.

She dropped Lilith own and unlocked her phone only to see numerous message of Blaze and Lilith.

"You guys have been chatting this long?" She asked facing Lilith.

"Lila!" Lilith called.

"Huh!"

"Let stay till tomorrow please!" She pleaded

"No!" She quickly declined.

"Why?"

"It getting obvious Lilith, be yourself!" Lila replied and Lilith blinked twice.

She had actually enjoyed the time she had spent with blaze and she wanted to spend more.

★

NIGHT~LUCIFER'S LAIR*

Tatiana walked in, a tray of alcohol in her hands as her eyes met with Lucifer intense gaze.

She dropped the tray as her caught the blood on his shoulders. It still there and untreated.

This is unbelievable! Is he crazy??

"You didn't treat your wounds!" She mumbled as she furrowed her brows.

Lucifer face was motionless as she looked around. She went to a particular direction and Lucifer's eyes followed her as she picked up a kit.

Just then, Hellcat came in with a kit also and her eyes darkened on seeing Tatiana with the same thing.

"What are you doing here?" She flared up, feeling pissed already.

Tatiana shrieked on seeing her!...

"What are you too doing here?" Lucifer interrupted and she faced him.

"I came here to treat your wounds but she's also here for what!" She replied.

"Leave!" He demanded.

"He said leave bitch!" Hellcat yelled at Tatiana, she quickly dropped the kit and advanced towards the door.

"Not her, You!!!" He blurted...
