"WHAT!?"
Lucas exclaimed with wide eyes, his heart thumped against his chest while his mind raced in confusion.
He looked back at the woman, who still had that annoying smirk on her face, and back to his girlfriend. 'They have no commonalities between them; how are they mother and daughter?'
He looked back and forth between them, and no matter what, he could not find a similarity.
The woman understood what he was doing, while Lily sighed in fear; the woman chuckled and said, "I like this one!"
Lily narrowed her eyes at her mother's words; she turned to her and said, "Mother, why are you here?—No, first of all, get out of the room! I will talk to you later!"
The woman raised an eyebrow at this and thought for a moment before she nodded, "Okay, but don't be late. We have to leave!" she said in a solemn tone.
Lily's eyes further narrowed at her tone, but she nodded hesitantly.
Lucas squinted his eyes as he stared at Lily; he trusted his girlfriend and waited for her to explain as he folded his arms.
Lily noticed his looks and gulped in reaction before extending her hand to his, "B-Baby, what I am going to say might shock you…but it is the truth."
Lucas frowned at her words but stayed silent while Lily continued, "I-I am not h-human!"
Lily's eyes quivered as she searched for a reaction on his face.
BADUMP
Her heart thumped in fear that he might reject and abandon her.
"W-What?" Lucas said with wide eyes, his blue eyes widening in surprise as he looked at her.
Lily bit her lip while her eyes teared up, "Y-Yes, I am not human. I am a succubus."
Lucas's body stiffened at the revelation; his heart thumped against his chest as he thought about the information.
Lily's heart ached at his reaction; she leaned forward towards him and hugged him tightly as tears came from her eyes. "L-Lucas, I love you! I have always loved you! I was afraid that you would leave me when I told you the truth!"
She then let go of him, her eyes moistened with tears as she pleaded, "P-Please, don't leave me!" She broke down.
Lucas's gaze softened at her state; he gently cupped her face, wiped her tears off her cheeks and said, "Let me ask you one thing. Have you been with another guy while you are with me because of your race?"
'I have read too many novels to not know about succubi. They need sex!' he muttered inwardly.
He knew this question would hurt Lily, but he had to make sure nonetheless, 'I don't want to be a cuck after all!'
"No!" Lily exclaimed instantly, "I have never been with a man other than you in my life! You are my one and only!"
Lucas smiled at this; he leaned forward, pecked her lips and said, "Then, I promise you. Nothing will separate us! You are mine!"
SNIFF
Lily leapt forward and hugged him tightly, "Thank you," she whispered while Lucas returned her hug, but then,
"Oh, that's cute. But she's coming with me." The woman's voice echoed from behind.
The couple jerked back like before. Lucas's face twisted in anger as he looked at the woman, "Woman, I thought Lily told you to wait outside!" His eyes glared at her as he clenched his fists.
The woman raised an eyebrow at Lucas, an amused smirk blooming on her face, "Boy—"
But before she could finish her sentence, Lily came in between them, "Mom, I don't want to come. I am staying with Lucas!"
The woman's gaze softened as she looked at her daughter, "Dear, I have never said no to any of your wishes. So, please understand me when I am forcing you to come with me."
Lucas narrowed his eyes while Lily felt conflicted, 'it's true, but ... Lucas, I don't want to leave him!'
"No, mom. I am staying with him!" Lily said firmly as she looked at her mother with a resolute expression.
The woman's face twisted in anger, 'This is what I get for giving you freedom, huh? Fine…'
She narrowed her eyes at Lily, "You forced me, dear." She then raised her hand while Lily's face lost all color.
Her body trembled as she closed her eyes; she didn't want to fight her own mother, nor did she want to leave him.
The woman's pink eyes flared as she raised her hand, but before she could do something, Lucas came in between them, "Stop!"
The woman frowned while Lily opened her eyes in shock, but before the two of them could say anything, Lucas said, "You want to take your daughter with you. But she doesn't want to come with me."
Lucas clenched his fist while he gnashed his teeth together, 'Although I am angry about this situation, I am powerless!'
"So, what if I come with you?" Lucas suggested.
Lily's and the woman's eyes widened in shock at his suggestions. The woman's face contorted into one of ridicule.
But her expression faltered a little when she noticed her resolute expression.
"Take me with you!"
