975 My Beautiful Monster Part 76

SUMIRE

"Did you never think of leaving? I think he would have let you."

Toh paused but nodded. "Yes, Lucifer did give me the option. Each year when my contract was due to renew. He would ask me if I still wanted to continue. When I was a child, I didn't have much of a choice, but when I grew older? I could have left anytime, especially since I built my own network and pursued my goal to become a designer."

"Yet you remained?"

"Deep down, I understood it was already too late to go back. I have stained my hands with blood countless times. I have done unspeakable things. I have repeatedly broken the law. I thought there was no salvation for me. I saw that Lucifer was the same way, and decided it would be better to stick with him." Toh runs his hand on her back. A content sigh escaped her lips. Even if her time together with this person is blurry, his touches are so comforting.

"But also, after I met you. I realized there was a chance I could change. Even though you knew about my dark deeds you never judged me, you faced me. I can't tell you the exact details about our break up, you need to remember that on your own. Just know that I would never have left you if I had a choice."

Despite those vague words Sumire understood. Lucifer is the reason for their break up, but perhaps for not for the reason she thinks. Sumire opened her mouth to respond, only for a flash to appear in her head.

'I won't diminish Mashima's efforts, but he could have fought harder for you. I won't do that, you may think these words are empty but I will choose you Sumire. Every single time, I will choose you.'

The memory itself was blurry, but the words spoken by the person she was with. A person who wasn't Toh or Lucifer. No this wording, and his voice. Sumire couldn't hold back the tears, because deep down she knew didn't she? She already knew that Lucifer lied to her. She still can't remember everything clearly. But there is no doubt now. She must have been with Sora after Toh and her broke up. There is no way Sora and her would have broken up after meeting in this life. He is the other half of her soul, she would never be able to let him go. Did Lucifer take her from Sora by force? What if Lucifer and her are enemies in this life, and that's why she doesn't remember anything about him in this life? No matter what the truth is. She has to face the reality that Lucifer lied to her. As she sobbed, Toh didn't say another word and simply held her tighter. Lucifer lied to her, but he didn't lie about his feelings. He loves her and that's why this hurts more than it should. ____________________________________________

LUCIFER

Three days later. A deep sigh escapes his lips as he pulls his now bloodied hand away, causing the body to fall into the ground. He stared at the lifeless body with a frown as it dissolved into nothing. Shadow creatures, dark beings that consume a person's soul, and wear that person's skin. Creatures he has not seen since his first three lifetimes. It shouldn't be possible. Even in the ancient times of this life, these 14:27

creatures never showed up.

He shrugs the dirt of his cloak, but after fighting non stop for days. There was more dirt sticking to his body. They should have this finished by nightfall and tomorrow they shall return. 'I can't wait to have her in my arms again.' First, he ought to get rid of the filth. He can't meet her in this state. Lucifer walked towards the back of the building they had been staying in.

"I shall be out back bathing."

His subordinate nodded. "Oh do you want assistance?"

Lucifer shakes his head. "No need." He trails off. "I wish to be alone."

Meaning, 'do not send any of those women after me.' Even though he assigned each of his men partners. None of the women were the loyal type. Lucifer sighed deeply. He really did create an organisation filled with selfish people. If it weren't for his private guard that consisted of people he knew from past reincarnations, there wouldn't be any decent men in the black alice organisation.

After walking for a few minutes he reached a creek surrounded by large bamboo trees. 'She would like this place. I should bring her here when I have cleared the area.' There is so much he wants to do with her. But the time limit he set with Toh has almost run out.

'I have already exterminated most of those who wish her harm and gave Nagawa Mira a warning.' Toh knows this, and he is just waiting for the time limit to be officially up before snatching her away.

Lucifer exhales deeply as he slips off his clothing and steps into the water. The reason he hasn't exposed Sumire to his men from the organisation is simple. She has already had enough bada experiences with violent men. ....

1st Lifetime

The two of them are seated in the library. Norah sat on his lap, as he looked over the papers in front of him with a frown. "Your brother." Norah suddenly started breaking the silence between them.

He knew she was being considerate not to disturb his work. Earlier his wife had been sitting on the couch on the other side of the room. But, it didn't take long before she casually made her way over and he pulled her onto his lap. Hearing her mention his brother. He sighed deeply.

"My brother is the reason the family funds are in the red. When will he take his duties as the heir seriously?"

"I think it's because up until recently he wasn't the heir." Norah pointed out. "Indeed, I understand the stress and pressure he has been under. That's why I have been turning a blind eye to his actions. But spending so much money on parties and buying gifts for his friends and women-"

"Women?" Norah suddenly interjected.

Lex nodded and saw a complicated look flash through Norah's face. "My brother didn't take the news of our getting together, and then our marriage very well. So I lost touch with him for a few months but when I returned to the manor, he was busy with his women-"
