CHAPTER 7 💜 8
Nathan watched as Mr. Amstel fidgeted as he kept contacting different investigators. He was presently seated on the floor and he knew he was doomed if Neriah can't be found.
"Where is my daughter,you peasant?!"Mr Amstel yelled at Nathan after he ended his call with his private investigator who asked for a 24 hrs time limit.
Mr. Amstel stared at the man seated in front of him and he could guarantee that he will make him rot in jail if he can't find his only daughter.
Neriah had been his only comfort since he lost Ciara, his love and her mother. He got married to Eliana despite Neriah's refusal because he didn't want her to experience being trained by a single parent but he could tell that Eliana wasn't a mother figure to his daughter at all but his hands are tied.
Nathan stared blankly at him and he felt like there was something more behind Neriah's disappearance.
"I guess it's time to visit home"he said to himself.

Neriah wept for a while until she noticed that the house was quiet. It seemed like she was all alone at home then a stupid idea clicked in her head as she tiptoed towards the door.
She twisted the doorknob and smirked as she saw it open.
"He is so dumb not to lock the door"muttered Neriah as she gently stepped out of the room.
She looked around the mansion as she admired how large it is. She walked down the stairs and looked around to make sure no one was looking at her.
She gulped down repeatedly as she approached the main door. This was her only key to freedom. Once she got out of there then she can run home or probably ask help from people around.
She opened the door and what she saw next made her drop down on her kneels as she wept.
He fucking built his house on the top of a hill. Who does that? He was really a psychopath. Now, there was no escape route for her. Is anyone even living here?
"It was fun looking at you trying to escape,Mate" heard Neriah and she turned to find the psychopath staring at her with a smile but it wasn't a good one.
He was looking at her with an expressionless face and she couldn't fathom what he was thinking.
Maybe he wanted to kill her. Well,it was all for the best as she will rather die than be stuck here with a psychopath.
_______
Lucifer was done getting food for his mate and was about heading back home when his demon suddenly spoke up.
"Mate is about to run away. She already opened the main door"said his demon and Lucifer's face darkened.
He was here looking for something to eat for her yet she is trying to escape. Oh,what he will do to his sweet mate?!
He quickly teleported home and he watched as she suddenly fell on her kneels crying and he chuckled.
She must have realized that they were on a hill.
"It was fun looking at you trying to escape,Mate"he said he could see fear in her eyes as she looked up at him.
He always loved seeing fear in the eyes of people but for certain reasons he didn't want her to be afraid of him. He wished she could be different as he sighed.
"Let's go inside. You must be hungry"said Lucifer and he could see the shock at flew across her eyes.
Was she expecting him to hurt her or what? She must have thought so bad of him.
______
Neriah carefully went into the house with him but her heart wasn't still calm. She felt like this was a calm before a storm. He will feed her first then kill her later.
She sat on the dining and watched as he placed roasted meat in front of her.
"This is the only thing I can get around here so bare with me,Mate. I will go down the hill later to see if I can get some food"Lucifer said calmly surprising himself. He didn't know he possessed such a calm tone.
Neriah nodded as she carefully ate the meat. This might be her last meal on earth.
____
Lucifer watched as she carefully munched on the meat and he had the urge to kiss those rosy lips of hers.
"Thank you"Neriah managed to say and he hummed in response.
"You don't have to appreciate me. It's my responsibility,Mate"Lucifer said and Neriah scoffed.
"Can you stop calling me that? I have a name"said Neriah and Lucifer chuckled.
"Then what's your name?"asked Lucifer and Neriah rolled her eyes.
"Neriah"she replied sharply and Lucifer giggled.
"God always wants to prove himself mighty always"his wolf said lamely and Lucifer hummed in agreement.
"That's why he gave us a mate whose name means 'light of God'. He has to be kidding me"Lucifer replied as he stared darkly at Neriah as he moved closer to her until his face was just a few inches away and she flinched.
"Well,Light of God, am 'DARKNESS OF THE EARTH'"Lucifer said huskily and Neriah gulped down in fear.
"what...do..y..o...u...me...an?"stuttered Neriah and Lucifer smirked.
"I am Lucifer,humans call me 'devil or Satan'"said Lucifer as he bawled his fangs at her and her eyes widened.
That very moment, a heavens roared loudly and everywhere shook as Lucifer looked around with a smirk.
"Even the heavens affirms it"said Lucifer as he turned to his mate but she had passed out.
"We must have terrified mate"his demon said and he giggled.
"She's so weak"commented Lucifer as he carried her to the room and laid her on the bed.
"I hope you learn to accept me,Neriah. I hope you don't only be the 'light of God',please be my light too."he said with sadness as he stared at her tenderly
