Dove's POV

"Fine! I won't take any reckless action like I did today, just tell me the name already," I said.

I lied, I will take my revenge no matter what. But right now Leviathan and Belphegor don't need to know that. The person who is responsible for this accident most certainly wants Twilight dead. Twilight's life is in danger as long as they are alive. I will do anything to protect Twilight.

"Fine, I am believing your words, you better not be lying, Chaos," Leviathan spoke. "Bel, play that audio."

Belphegor clicked on the play button and audio started to play. It sounded like the phone was ringing and after a few rings someone picked up the call.

"Hello, dear litter Twilight," I heard a familiar feminine voice. Recognizing the voice almost immediately, I gasped.

"What do you want?" I heard my boyfriend ask.

"You know Twilight, you are such a kind man. I thought about everything that I am doing so far and I feel like I'm becoming a trashy person. I want to live everything behind and start a new life, so before I go, I want to fix everything," she said.

"What are you planning to do?" Twilight sounded suspicious.

"Just want to let you know that your father is going to make the final deal with Yakuza today, and you are the only one who can stop him since you know the entire truth. Stop him while you can, this deal can put the entire country in danger," she lied.

There was a pause as I realized that Twilight was thinking about the situation. I should have known that Nina would play such twisted games, how did it not click me that it could be all done by Nina?

"Why should I trust you?" Twilight asked.

"Well, don't. But you can always go and check up on your father to see if I am speaking the truth or not," she said before hanging up.

"How did you not know about this phone call, Bel?" I asked.

"You told me not to keep an eye on Twilight, remember?" He said.

I rubbed my face, so it was all my fault. I was careless from the beginning. The past never really dies now, does it?

"What is the plan now?" I asked.

"Wait for Lucifer to contact you," Leviathan spoke.

"I ain't taking any help from Lucifer, Levy."

"You have no choice, and neither do I right now. You have to walk according to him for now, Chaos," Leviathan stated.

I sighed.

Maybe for now I have to work according to how Lucifer wants. But why would Lucifer help me in taking my revenge? He has never done something like this before, revenge isn't something that Lucifer encourages. What is this man planning?

"You should go back to the hospital now," Leviathan spoke. I nodded.

"I will see you guys later," I spoke.

"Hey, Chaos!" Belphegor stopped. I hummed.

"Your boyfriend is going to be fine," he said. I smiled.

"I know," I replied.

I know that Twilight is going to be alright. So many people reassured me and even my gut feeling is telling me so.

~~~

When I reached back to the hospital, I saw Vinter sitting in the corner crying. His mother and Twilight's mother were crying mess. I tilted my head in confusion. What happened here?

Vinter looked at me as he got up and rushed up to me. He hugged me tightly and cried on my shoulder.

"He's dead," Vinter choked. My body froze at his confession.

I couldn't breathe, as I felt my heartbeats raising. My body started to shiver a bit.

No! It can't be! Twilight-

"My father is dead," he cried.

I let out the breath I was holding on to as relief rushed through my body. I got control of my body back as I placed my hand on his head.

"Hush~," I said. "It's okay~"

I comforted him.

"It's all... my fault," he sobbed. "Only if I hadn't made the deal-"

"Lucifer didn't do it," I spoke. Vinter looked at me. He looked a mess, his eyes were red due to all his crying, and his hair was disheveled.

"What?"

"Lucifer didn't do it, your ex-girlfriend did," I spoke. "I also thought that it was Lucifer, so I went to kill him. But turns out I was wrong."

Vinter suddenly held my shoulder tightly, I winced as I looked at him knitting my eyebrows.
There was a cold expression on his face as he lowly whispered.

"Why did she do that?"

"I don't know the entire reason, but her main target was Twilight and not your father. It's unfortunate that your father passed away."

"Nina Robbins, I will kill her— no I will-"

I placed my hands on his cheeks before he could finish the sentence.

"Lucifer is going to help so sit tight, Harris. We will get our revenge but be patient," I told him.

I don't want Vinter to get involved in this, I don't want either of the brothers to get involved in this.

"How is Twilight?" I asked.

"His condition has stabled but there is no sign of him waking up," he said.

"Listen to me carefully, Vinter. We need to protect Twilight at all costs so keep two or three guards outside Twilight's room. There is no guarantee about what Nina might do next. I know you will be busy with your father's funeral so I will be staying here all the time to keep a watch on Twilight," I explained. He nodded as he wiped his tears.

"I will hire more guards don't worry. The entire hospital will be under heavy security," he spoke as he dialed a number. He was about to walk away but I caught his wrist.

"Vinter, take care of your mother and Twilight's mother, please. If you want someone to talk to, I am here for you," I spoke. He gave me a small smile and nodded.

"I will be back later tonight," he said. "That is my brother's room. Visitors are allowed but two at a time only."

He pointed towards the room where Twilight was admitted. I nodded and Vinter disappeared to God knows where.

I looked at Sophia and Laura, they were a crying mess. They were hugging each other as they sobbed in each other's arms. Pain unites people I guess.

I walked up to them and knelt in front of them. I placed my hand on Sophia's thigh as she looked at me.

"Dove..." she choked on her tears.

"Hey... I'm so sorry for your loss," I spoke. She took my hand in hers as she nodded trying her best not to cry.

"You are..." Laura spoke as she thought for a minute who I was.

"Dove Stanley, ma'am," I introduced myself.

"She is Twilight's girlfriend," Sophia spoke.

"Theodore Stanley's daughter?" Laura asked.

"Yes, unfortunately," I got up. "I am here so you two don't have to worry about Twilight. Take your time to mourn, I will take care of Twilight."

"Thank you," both of them said. I gave them a small nod and went to the room where Twilight was.

When I entered the room I saw my boyfriend was wrapped up in bandages and casts on his legs and arms. The monitor was beeping as I saw that his heartbeat and blood pressure were alright. I let out a sigh when I saw that he was fine, even though he isn't conscious but I am just glad that he is out of danger.

I sat on the seat placed beside his bed. I gently placed my hand on his cast.

"I am so sorry, bunny. This is all my fault, only if I was more cautious about the threats that Nina possessed, you won't have been here all wrapped up in bandages," I apologized. I let my tears flow freely for once. I don't have to stay strong in front of him, I can show my real self in front of him.

"I almost thought I lost you forever," I sobbed. "I never want to lose you. Please, I beg you, Twilight Harris. Don't you dare to leave me."

"Just wake up already... I don't think this kitten knows how to live without her bunny."

"He will wake up soon," I heard someone's voice from behind me. I yelped in surprise and turned around.

I immediately wiped my tears and face Laura Harris. She had a gentle smile on her face. Vinter looks a lot like his mother.

"I'm sorry about that," I spoke.

"Don't be, you can cry all you want, dear one," she spoke. I can see where Vinter got his manners from, even though he was an asshole at one point.

"Twilight is a fighter. He might not look like it but unlike my son, Twilight was always able to stand against my husband's abuse," she spoke. She sat on the couch. She patted the empty spot beside her, gesturing me to take a seat. I did as I was told.

"You are my Vinter's soulmate, aren't you?" She asked.

"Did Vinter talk to you about it?" I asked. She shook her head.

"No, Vinter never really talks to me about anything," she said. I tilted my head.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"I was never a help to Vinter. When his father forced him to become a pop star, I couldn't stand up for him. I don't think I have ever been the strong mother that he deserved. But I know my son, I remember the initials on his ankle is D.S., short of Dove Stanley," she spoke.

Vinter has always been so alone, even when he was always surrounded by people. The more I get to know about him, the more lonely he looks to me.

"Vinter is too kind, ma'am. I know if he doesn't tell you stuff about his life that is cause he doesn't want you to worry about him," I said. She looked surprised listening to what I said.

"Do you think that is the case?" She asked.

"I believe so, as much as I know your son. He is the kindest person I know," I truthfully replied.

"I am glad he has a soulmate like you. I can see you are in love with little Twilight," she smiled. "This boy deserves the world, he protected Vinter on so many occasions. Take care of Twilight."

"I will," I replied.

"I still wish though, I wish you would have chosen Vinter. But Twilight is my son as well, and I wish nothing but the best for him. I want both my kids to be happy," she said getting up.

"They will be happy. They are kind, all they deserve is happiness, ma'am," I said.

"Please, call me "Laura" not ma'am," she said. I nodded.

"I will get going now and check up on Sophia. She truly loved Oliver," Laura said.

"What about you? Are you okay?" I asked. She shook her head.

"My marriage with Oliver was just a business deal. The man I loved, my father didn't allow me to marry him," she spoke.

"Well then, take care, Dove."

Was all she said before walking away. Couldn't marry the one she loved huh? I can see why she was worried about Vinter. She doesn't want her child to suffer the same fate as her.

I shook my head as I cleared my thoughts and I went back to sitting beside Twilight's bed. I didn't realize when I fell asleep until I felt myself waking up due to the buzzing of my cell phone.

I checked it and saw two message notifications popped up in it;

"Meet me on the rooftop of the hospital."

Said one message. The number was private but I knew who it was. There is only one person who would message in one-liners.

"Fucking finally!" I grinned like a maniac as I got up immediately from my seat. I looked at Twilight and smiled.

"I will make the person who did this to you pay. I will be back soon, bunny."
