Chapter 988 My Beautiful Monster Part 89

LUCIFER

Those dark thoughts faded when he saw the way his wife was looking at him, at his body in particular with hunger in her eyes. He liked that she was pleased with his appearance. Liked that she was looking at him like she would devour him at any moment.

"It's hard to believe you were wounded." Sumire commented.

Lucifer smirked. "Wounds or not, I'll find a way to pleasure you."

"Th-that's not the point I was making." Sumie stammered.

He chuckles and caresses her cheek. "The pleasure can come after you get better my heart."

"Ummm, it's just a small fever."

Lucifer shakes his head. "You don't have to be so humble. I am your husband, you have to allow me to spoil you. Allow me to care for you."

Sumire nodded. "Then on second thoughts you should do whatever I want."

He chuckles and leans forward brushing his lips against her ear. "Like I said my wife, the pleasure will have to wait. I do not wish to harm you in this state." Lucifer's sentence fell short when Sumire suddenly brought his hand to her face squeezing it tightly. Lucifer looked at her dumbfounded. 'What sort of trap is this?' To think it's the simplest things like this that get him worked up.

Just a simple touch and he doesn't know what to do with her anymore.

For the next few minutes Lucifer watches her, waiting for Sumire to let go of her hand. But realized that she had no intention of letting his hand go. He places his free hand on his forehead and mumbled.

"Your acting very strange wife." Lucifer mumbled.

From her murderous rage, to this- it's not like her, at least not the present her. He half expected this to happen in the other life times, but not this one.

"Recently, I have been getting some more memories. I think it was from our first life since you called me Norah."

Lucifer holds back his words then, focusing on her words intently. What did she recall that is making her act like this? It's not the memories with Lennon raping her is it? He wouldn't know how to explain if she got those ones back. It would frighten her.

'The memories she regains are very random, and there is no pattern to what she remembers.' The only common theme is she seems to recall her negative memories first. He is frightened that she would recall Lennon.

Just the brief mention of him the other day made her tremble so badly. One of the reasons why he started to pick on Nagawa is because the man resembled how Lennon used to be. Lennon liked Norah. Lucifer had no doubt that his brothers feelings were real.

"I saw it, that pitch black night and we had to escape and leave our home behind. We kept running and running in the darkness,, not even stopping for a moment to catch our breaths. Your movements were slow because you were injured and in the next second, I looked up and saw your wounds were more severe than I thought. I watched you stumble to the ground. I kept calling your name but you wouldn't move or wake up."

Lucifer wanted to tell her that she was simply having a nightmare. But what Sumire is describing is exactly what happened in their first life when the human rebellion succeeded.

"When I woke up, you weren't there. I wanted to scream but my body wouldn't listen to me."

'Because their enemies caught up with them and separated them. They drugged Norah and locked her up in a fucking cage.'

The only reason they managed to escape that situation is, their friends in the spiritual realm got word what happened. They disobeyed commands and rushed to help. When Lucifer recalled how he found her in that cage, with her dress torn, with signs that they dared touched her. He lost control and destroyed everything.

"I'm so scared. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to wake up and call your name only to find you not there beside me."

It's not just that incident but the sixth and seventh life time. He still doesn't have a full picture of what happened. But, at the very least he understands that Sumire must have searched for him.

Lucifer brought her hands to his lips and gently kissed each finger. "You do not have to worry. That was simply a nightmare. I will never leave your side, when you call. I shall be there, no matter what."

Even after he returns her to his friends. If she needs him, he will be there for her.

Sumire looked at him doubtfully and Lucifer lets go of her hand and pointed to the mark on her neck. The mark was becoming more and more visible, because everytime he drinks from her. He would make sure to drink from that spot.

Her cheeks suddenly coloured a lovely shade of red. "Can I call for you anytime with this mark?"

"You can speak through our bond or simply use your ability to summon me yourself. Just touch the mark when you do, and I shall hear your call." Lucifer explained.

It's actually a wonder how she never accidentally summoned him before. Seeing her eyelids close, he lays down beside her and pulls her into his arms.

"Let us sleep, my heart."

A few days later, Lucifer exhaled deeply as he finished signing another document. He instructed for Toh to keep an eye out on the entertainment company, so he suspected this would happen. But, the organisation administration is a mess. Running a criminal organisation isn't as simple as one may think. There is a lot of boring work behind the scenes, but that boring work helps keep fuel the organisation. Unfortunately, his organisation is made up of mainly brutes with fighting strength.

'The only other person I could ask is Rui, but I am having him do important work that only he can do.' Lucifer shakes his head. Since he has no one he can rely on, he will have to handle this on his own.
