Dove's POV

I went straight to Twilight's tattoo studio, knowing well that he won't be home right now. When I entered the studio I got greeted by Luis who was whining about something to his husband.

"Hey, Luis! Shane!" I greeted. Shane finally got an excuse to push Luis away, and so he did.

"Stop being a child in front of a child, Luis!" Shane grumbled as he walked up to me.

"Hey, Dove. Long time no see!" Shane ruffled my hair. I chuckled.

"Yeah, had some personal business to take care of. By the way, I am not a child. I'm 23 years old," I narrowed my eyes at him playfully. He raised his hands in defense.

"I know~ I know~" he replied. Suddenly I got tackled by Luis who pulled me into a bear hug.

"Dove! It's been so long since I last met you!" Luis said. I patted his back.

"Yeah. I am sorry I wasn't around much lately," I replied as he lets go of me.

"Where is Twilight?" I asked.

"In there," Luis pointed at the room where Twilight is usually.

"Is he busy?" I asked.

"Why don't you take a look there yourself?" He smirked. I raised my eyebrows at him and shrugged.

"Okay," I replied as I walked towards the room. I twisted the doorknob and entered the room without knocking. This is my bad habit, I should consider knocking from now on.

There was a guitar in Twilight's hands as he looked at me surprised. He was sitting on a stool and I could see he was trying to tune up the guitar as his fingers were on the pegs. I grin in amusement.

"Dove..." he stared at me blankly. But as soon as the realization hit him, he stood up and tried to hide the guitar.

"That-... that was a surprise, you weren't supposed to see!" He panicked as he tried hard to find a place to hide the guitar. It made me chuckle.

"There is no point, bunny. I already saw the guitar," I said laughing. He sighed.

"I was learning..." he mumbled.

"You were learning how to play the guitar?" I asked. He nodded. I walked up to him and cupped his cheeks. He looked at me with his gunmetal eyes filled with love and adoration.

"I was learning it for you. I wanted to play a song for you," he spoke. I grinned.

"Cute. But looks like this time I have a surprise for you," I spoke.

"What?"

"Let me show you, bring me the guitar. I was going to gift it to you on your birthday next week. But looks like I will have to plan another surprise for your birthday," I spoke. He handed me the guitar, and I sat on the stool he was previously sitting on.

I adjusted the pegs and tuned up the guitar. He sat down on the chair in front of me. I strummed a few times and began playing the chords of my new song.

I sang along with the music as I raised my head to look at Twilight's reaction. He was shocked at first, but soon his expression turned into something that I would consider to be admiration.

This was the song that I wrote for him while I was at Gabriella's place. It's still unfinished and not perfectly written. I also came up with the music in my head, so I know it's not the most perfect thing I have prepared. Only if this man had given me more time to prepare it well.

I smiled when I saw him tearing up. I am surrounded by crybabies, especially the Harris brothers are always crying for some or other reason. When I was done playing the song for Twilight, I placed the guitar down on the side of my stool, and I immediately got pulled by Twilight. His lips were pressed against mine.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him back. He kissed me hungrily, I could barely keep up with his pace.

"I... Twilight..." I broke our kiss. His eyes had the same look which he has whenever we make love with each other.

"I love you," he spoke. My eyes widened. In my mind, I have said multiple times that I love him, but I have never confessed that in front of him.

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"I said, I love you, Dove Stanley. I have been in love with you for a while now. The song you wrote for me just made me want to confess, and so I did," he replied.

My surprised expression turned as I smiled warmly at him. I pressed my lips against his.

"I love you too," I said.

"I know," he said. "I heard you mumble that in your sleep."

My eyes widened.

"What the hell! Don't eavesdrop on my sleep talks!" I smacked him as I felt my face heat up.

"Awe~ are you embarrassed?!" He teased. I looked at him with a poker face.

"I am not."

"You are, kitten," he pecked my cheek.

"How did you know I wrote that song?" I asked.

"Because I know your writing style. Lyrics of other's songs do not hit this hard. But when a genius like you write it, the lyrics just hit the right spot in my heart," he smiled.

Before I could say anything there was a knock on the door.

"Light! Your clients are waiting," Shane said.

"I'll be there in a minute," Twilight replied.

"You should take care of your clients first. I have to go home now," I said. He nodded.

"I'll see you later at night," he said as he pressed his lips to my forehead. I hummed in response.

"Bye, bunny," I said.

"Tell me all about your trip during our dinner," he spoke. I nodded.

I left the room first and after saying goodbye to Shane and Luis, I left the studio. I got into Micah's car, I will return this car to her tomorrow.

When I was about to turn on the engine, I received a phone call. The number was private, but it could be one of the sins, so I picked up the call.

"Chaos," I heard a calm voice.

"Beelzebub?" I asked.

"Yes," he said.

"Been a while, Bub," I said.

"Yeah, it has been a while. Boss wants to meet you. Will you be able to come to the mansion?" He asked. Lucifer? Why does he want to meet me? Did he find out about Mammon? Did he find out about my deal with Snow White?

"I can, but why does he want to meet me? I thought I was not allowed to be there, at your mansion," I said.

"Well, boss just asked me to inform you about the meeting. I don't know the details, you know how it is," he said. Can't blame him. What goes on in Lucifer's head, only he knows.

"I am on my way," I said.

If I want to find out what is going on in Lucifer's mind, I have to meet him right now. It's a big gamble cause if he suspects anything suspicious about me, he will kill me. And if I don't meet him now, that will be even worse.

So I drove towards the sins hideout. I parked the car away from their hideout and walked there.

I rang the doorbell and just like last time the door was opened by Satan. I grinned as I hugged him immediately.

"Kitty!" I cheered as he spun me around chuckling.

"My Chaos, how are you?" He asked

"As good as last time," I replied breaking the hug. "How are you, kitty?"

"I'm good, always good," he replied.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Belphegor is in his tech room, Leviathan is out on a mission with Asmodeus, Mammon is MIA and Beelzebub is with Lucifer in his room. I was baking cookies for you, Beelzebub told me you were going to visit Lucifer," Satan said. So they don't know anything about me and Mammon? That is good.

"Yeah, he said Lucifer had something to discuss with me. Do you know anything?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Not a clue," he replied.

"You said Mammon is missing? Where did he go?" I asked. He shrugged.

"No clue, that kid always keeps things to himself. I knew this was eventually going to happen. Lucifer said if he doesn't return in one week, we will have to look into the matter," Satan replied. So Lucifer doesn't know anything about Mammon's sudden disappearance. That is good, my name is clear.

"While I bake the cookies for you, go and meet Lucifer," Satan said. I nodded.

"See you, kitty," I waved at him and skipped towards Lucifer's study room where I met him the other day.

When I reached the door of his study, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard a "come in" from the inside, so I opened the door.

I entered the room and I saw Beelzebub smiling at me. He opened his arms so I walked up and hugged him.

"I missed you," he mumbled.

"Me too," I replied. My eyes landed on Lucifer as I let go of Beelzebub. Lucifer's eyes held a hint of amusement in them.

"Dove Stanley, how was your trip?" He asked. I stiffened. How did he know?

"How do you-"

"One of my intel reported to me you left with Vinter Harris somewhere. Since it was right after you found out about how to break the soulmate bond from Bethany, I figured you went on a trip to do so," he spoke as he got up from his seat.

Beelzebub silently took his leave as Lucifer swiftly walked up to me. His red eye had a weird glint in them as his forefinger traced my jawline. A small smile played on his lips.

"Tell me, did you do what you always desired to do?" He asked. "Did you break your soulmate bond?"

"I did not," I replied not leaving eye contact with him.

"Well, that is a shame," he replied as he walked back to his seat.

"You have changed, Dove Stanley," he spoke as he looked at me.

"Changed?" I asked.

"You were not scared of me before, but now I can see fear in your eyes. It's not for your life, but for someone else," he talked smoothly.

"I am not afraid of you, Luci," I replied. Trying to play my cool. He is right, he can see right through me. I do worry for Mammon's life right now.

"Is that so?" He asked. "Then what are you hiding?"

That left me surprised. There is no way he read my expressions that quickly. Can a human predict this fast? How did he know I am hiding something when I'm so good at masking my expressions, even my soulmate can't tell what is going on inside my mind.

"Nothing, Luci. I would never dare to hide anything from you," I replied. I have to convince him that I am not hiding anything.

"Well I believe you," he said.

Does he believe me? Just like that? Is he bluffing? Or does he mean it?

"You must have heard from Satan that Mammon is missing," he spoke, completely changing the topic. "If you meet him or get any information about him. I should be the first one you must report to. You will do that much right? Since I helped you to find a way to break your soulmate bond."

"Yes, I will inform you right away. But don't you think you are asking the wrong person? I mean why would Mammon ever try to contact me?" I asked.

"Because you are closest to him outside the sins, if he ran away from the sins, he will most likely approach you first," Lucifer spoke. He doesn't know anything, well that is good on my part.

"Okay, I will let you know," I said. "What did you do to Bethany?"

"Not something that concerns you," he replied. Well, there is no point he won't open his mouth.

"Tell me, Luci. Why do you suffer from insomnia?"

"Why don't you tell me first? Why do you suffer from insomnia?" He asked.

"I have nightmares of my past," I replied honestly.

"You have nightmares of your past because your demons existed in the past," he said.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I don't get nightmares about my past; unlike you, my demons aren't chasing me from my past. My demons are too smart; they are already waiting for me at the finish line," he said. I didn't understand anything, but I did understand that this guy fears the future because he has already foreseen it.

"Have you perhaps, foreseen your future?" I asked. He chuckled.

"I will leave it up to your imagination. Satan's cookies must be ready by now. You should go and have some before you go," he spoke. I am not even going to ask how he knows about it. Snow White is going to have a hard time if he wants to catch this man. Even if I did sneak out of a dangerous situation right now, I don't think the same thing will happen in the future. Lucifer is far more dangerous than I believed. If he has foreseen his future then he already has ways to prevent it from happening as well.

"I will see you later, Luci," I waved at him. I know I won't get a goodbye or a reply in return so I just walked out of his room.

I could smell the freshly baked cookies so I followed the smell and reached the kitchen.

"Cookies!" I cheered as I picked three at once. Satan smacked my hand which made me drop two cookies. I pouted.

"One at a time," he scolded. I sat down on the chair and munched on the delicious cookies.

"You had quite a long conversation with Lucifer," Satan spoke. I nodded.

"He is one interesting man," I said. Satan hummed.

"Hey Chaos, let me tell you something," he spoke. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"What?"

"No matter what you do, never make the mistake of underestimating Lucifer," Satan stated.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"I just want you to keep this piece of advice in your mind," was all he replied.

Why do I feel like I am still not getting the entire picture of the situation? Something is missing, something very big. If Lucifer is aware of what is missing then I'm in big trouble.

♤♤♤

I wonder if there exist a man like Lucifer on this planet?
