Dove's POV

Both Vinter and I rushed to the hospital.  Upon reaching the floor where Twilight's surgery was going on, we saw Oliver's men sitting in the lobby area.

"Where is he?! Where is Twilight?" I panicked.

"Ma'am, he is in the emergency room," the moment I heard that I was about to rush inside the emergency room, but a strong hand pulled me back.

"You can't go in there, Dove. There is a surgery going on," I heard Vinter say. I glared at him as I struggled to free my hand.

"Let go! I want to see Twilight! If anything happens to him, everyone will pay for it!" I retorted.

"Shh! Stop creating a ruckus, it's a hospital, not your home!" Vinter scolded as he held me tightly. Where is he getting all this strength from?

"Tell me everything, what happened?" Vinter demanded his father's men.

"We don't know everything, but I was on the call with Mr. Harris when young master Twilight demanded to tag along with Mr. Harris to his business meeting. He said something like, "I know the truth" and Mr. Harris immediately hung up the call," one of the men said.

"Next thing I know is getting a call from the hospital from Mr. Harris's cellphone since I was the last person he called. The hospital informed me that it was a road accident, they got hit by a truck. The driver has passed away on the spot."

Got hit by a truck?! How did that... wait! I know how it all happened.

"Of course!"

I let out a dry laugh. I pulled my hair as I sat down laughing, and tears rolled down my eyes.

"Dove!" Vinter knelt beside me, holding me worriedly. "What is it?"

"I befriended the Devil and didn't even think of the consequences," I mumbled. I looked at Vinter with my lifeless eyes.

"I will fix it all," I said.

"What?" He asked.

I didn't reply to him as my eyes wandered around the area and they fell on the bodyguards present there. They had guns with them which made me smirk.

I got up and so did Vinter. Before he could ask me anything I saw Vinter's and Twilight's mothers rushing in.

"Vinter! Your father! Twilight! How are they?!" Cried Laura, Vinter's mother. Sophia is too shocked to speak anything, it was written all over her face.

While Vinter was busy handling two crying mothers, I took my chance to sneak out after stealing a pistol from one of the bodyguards.

"If I die trying, I hope God will give my part of life to Twilight. That's the only last wish I have," I mumbled as I hailed a cab.

By the time we reached the mansion where the sins live, I had an entire plan prepared in my head on how to successfully make Lucifer pay for what he did.

I dashed up to the mansion, I didn't bother entering through the main entrance. I know where I can get inside the mansion without anyone noticing. My habit of wandering around finally became helpful. I sneaked inside the mansion from the backdoor by picking the lock off it.

I have to sneak inside Lucifer's study room before anyone notices me. I know that he is in his study room. No one was around in the mansion which made it easier for me to reach Lucifer's study room.

I sneaked inside the room with the pistol in my hand, but the room was empty.

"Sneaking inside someone's house is a bad thing," I heard Lucifer's voice from behind me. I jumped back and turned around, I immediately pointed my gun at him.

"You!"

"If you are here to blame me for what happened, let me tell you this. It was not me, I planned to assassinate Oliver Harris next week. Looks like I wasn't the only one who wanted him dead. Moreover, I would never try to kill someone innocent-"

"Liar! If you weren't behind it, how do you know all about it? What makes you think I would believe the word of a man who is known for his manipulative and unfair actions."

He walked closer to me with a small smile on his face. He is not fazed by the gun in my hand. What is this man?

"Step back! Or else I will pull this trigger!" I threatened. He darkly chuckled as he pulled the gun upwards and placed the mouth of the gun on his forehead.

"Go on, pull it," he whispered. "I have sinned way too many times to deserve to live a good life. Why not give me an end to this endless suffering?"

"I will fucking kill anyone who tried to kill the man I love! I will pull this trigger, Lucifer!" I shouted.

"Do it!" He encouraged me. Sweat formed on my forehead as I slightly pulled the trigger. I felt like I was suffocating.

Lucifer looked so calm like he was not even the slightest bit scared of death. It looked like he was waiting for this very moment to happen. It looked like he had always been patiently waiting for death.

"Dove! No! Lucifer didn't do anything!" I heard Leviathan's voice. I immediately pulled back the pistol.

Lucifer lets out a deep sigh as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. I looked at Leviathan who was panting like he ran all the way here.

"What the hell is happening?" I asked.

"Let me explain!" Leviathan spoke.

"No... allow me," Lucifer spoke. I looked at Lucifer.

"I ordered Leviathan to assassinate Oliver next week on Tuesday when he was going to make the final deal with Yakuza. It was indeed going to be an accident, the same as this one. But I was going to make sure that Oliver was all alone before I take any actions," Lucifer explained. "What happened today was truly unfortunate, but it has nothing to do with this organization. Also this morning I received the news that Oliver has already made the final deal with the Yakuza."

"He's telling the truth, Chaos," Leviathan spoke. "Lucifer told me to meet you and explain this to you since he predicted that you will come by to take revenge. I was just a few seconds late, when I reached the hospital Vinter told me that you disappeared. I was sure you would come here directly, so I rushed here immediately."

I didn't ever think that I would be so desperate to take my revenge that I won't even look through and investigate properly before taking any action.

"Then who?" I asked. "Who tried to kill Oliver if not you?"

"I told Belphegor to look into it. You will have to wait a bit if you want an answer to it," Lucifer spoke.

"I will wait," I mumbled.

"I will go check up on Belphegor," Leviathan spoke. I wanted to talk to him about Mammon but it looks like right now is not a good time to do so.

When I find out who tried to kill Twilight, I will make sure to get my revenge.

"He will be fine," Lucifer spoke. I turned around to find him sitting on his chair behind the table. When did he get there? He was right in front of me a minute ago.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Twilight Harris, he will live," he spoke.

"What? Are you suddenly a God now?" I sarcastically asked. He chuckled.

"Monsters like me can never be God, and neither do we have a place in heaven," he said, getting up from his seat. "Want to go somewhere with me?"

"Where?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Tag along if you are curious," he replied as he walked ahead. This man knows damn well that I would do anything to satisfy my curiosity.

He can take advantage of any given situation and turn the tables in his favour. He knows that if he had told me where we were going, I would have most probably refused to tag along. So he ignited curiosity in me, and now here I am following him like a lost puppy.

I wonder if a man so dangerous and stoic has ever been in love. Why did he agree to die without giving any justification from his side even though he was innocent?

"Can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Yes?" He asked. We exited the mansion through one of the back doors and there was a huge garden filled with Iris flowers.

"Pretty..." I mumbled. "You can do gardening too?"

"My mother adored Iris," he replied. This was the first time I have heard him talk about anyone from his family.

"Where is your family now?" I asked.

"You wanted to ask me something," he said, dismissing my question completely. I huffed in return.

He gently touched the flower near him. Everything Lucifer has ever done so far has been so gentle. The way he talks, the way he walks, his touch—everything about him is so gentle. No one would believe me if I said a gentleman like him could be such a dangerous criminal.

"You could have taken the gun from my hand easily, then why didn't you?" I asked. He softly chuckled.

"I knew you won't be able to pull the trigger," he replied.

"What if I had?"

"I am the absolute, I don't make mistakes," Lucifer confidently spoke. I hummed in response.

"Have you ever been in love?" I suddenly asked. I don't know why I did that.

He smiled softly as he got up and turned to my side, facing me. Criminal or not, Lucifer's entire aura had a weird sense of serenity. But I know behind that aura lies a deep darkness that can turn any light into dark if touched.

"Why don't you tell me, Dove?" "Do you think a man like me is capable of being in love?" He asked. His crimson eye glowed. It's funny how his crimson eye has a bit more shine than his brown eye.

"I don't think a man like you is meant to fall in love," I replied. He chuckled a bit.

"Then what are men like me meant to do?" He asked.

"There are no men like you." "But if I were to answer, a man like you is meant to either revolutionise the world or, worse yet, destroy it," I replied.

"That is an interesting answer I received," he replied.

He took my hand in his, and his thumb gently caressed the back of my hand. He placed an iris flower in my hand.

"Why are you-"

"Chaos! Belphegor-"

I jumped back as soon as I heard Leviathan's voice.

"What's going on here?" Leviathan asked.

"Nothing the sort that you are thinking of, dear Leviathan. I do not intend to do any harm to your Chaos," Lucifer walked ahead and up to Leviathan. "I will be going back to my study room. I need a written update of all the actions taken by the sins today."

Saying that much Lucifer disappeared. Leviathan gestured for me to go with him, so I did.

"What was that?" He asked.

"What was what?" I asked.

"I have never seen Lucifer like that before, he was looking more relaxed than he usually does," Leviathan commented.

"I don't think anything out of ordinary happened. Maybe he was like that 'cause I'm a woman," I replied as I played with the petals of the Iris in my hand.

"You seem more relaxed than before too," Leviathan stated.

"Lucifer guaranteed me that Twilight is going to live. My gut feeling told me that he is speaking the truth," I spoke.

"Did Bel find out the culprit?" I asked.

"He did."

My eyes widened.

"Who is it?!" I asked.

"You will know soon," he replied.

"Tell me, Levy. How did you guys not know that Oliver had already made an agreement?" I asked.

"Lucifer didn't care about the agreement, to begin with. He already has many backup plans to stop Yakuza from starting any illegal business in the country. We just had to assassinate Oliver Harris because he is a traitor," Leviathan explained.

"I'm disappointed in you, Chaos. I did not expect you to be this reckless that you tried to kill a man like Lucifer. He is not the type of guy you can beat."

"I can't, but someone like Snow White can," I mumbled.

"Sh! It's dangerous to talk about that in this mansion. You better not do something like this again, Chaos," he scolded.

"Yeah yeah."

"I have informed Vinter that you are with me. He was worried sick about you," Leviathan spoke as we entered a room. Inside the room, there were multiple computer screens and in front of those screens, Belphegor was sitting on his revolving chair. On the table, near his keyboard, there were multiple wrappers of chocolate bars.

In other words, his room was a mess. But that's how Belphegor has always been, he's a disorganized genius.

"Chaos!" Belphegor said loudly as he saw me. He ran up to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Bel!" I hugged him back.

He let go of me and let out a deep sigh.

"Bel? What is it? Who is it?" I asked. Belphegor's expression was not usual, he was frowning.

"I will tell you who tried to kill Twilight, but on one condition, Chaos," he said.

"What condition?" I asked.

"I don't want you to take any reckless action like you did today. If you want revenge, we will help you. But in our accordance," he said.

"What? Why?"

"Because I don't want you to stoop down, I don't want you to take any action that will make you a criminal," Leviathan spoke.

These guys, why are they doing this? Why can't I take revenge the way I want?
