It shouldn't have been this hard to get in contact with Lilith. I didn't even know why I agreed to meet with her today. Actually, I did, I wanted to kill her...too bad I didn't know how.

I truly kept Cain's gun specifically for her in case she ever came around again, but now that it was gone there was nothing I could do. There were secrets of mine that I'd rather have buried with her.

"S-.. sir?" I looked up at the trembling waitress who had the misfortune of taking my order tonight and smiled at her. "W-would...you like me," she cleared her throat. "Would you like me to refill that?" She asked as she pointed to the wine glass. I was on my fifth one since Lilith was already over an hour late.

I simply nodded and with shaky hands, I watched her attempt to pour the wine into the glass. Because of her nervousness, she missed the glass completely and I slowly brought my eyes to hers. Tears rolled down her face as she tried to plaster a smile on her face.

"I-I'm...I'm so sorry sir," she whispered.

"Just leave," I commanded. With relief visible in her eyes she turned around to walk away. "Leave the bottle."

I didn't understand why everyone was so afraid, not that I minded. I used to be a lot worse before Syn and Genesis so the fact that people still cowered when I spoke was odd to me. I didn't mind it though, it's just that the devil could use some conversation sometimes. With people that WANTED to speak to me, which was rare.

She quickly placed the bottle down and scurried away. I brought my attention to the now stained white table linen and sighed. I asked Lilith to meet me an hour ago in Hell. Because of the time difference, this meant she had about a day in Jeradua, so there was no excuse for her tardiness.

Maybe she's hurt?

A smile replaced my stone features as that thought came to mind but I quickly got rid of it. God always seemed to take away the things I hoped for. So in that case I hoped she was alive and well.

The sound of the bell at the front of the restaurant proved my wishes to be unanswered and I rolled my eyes. Lilith walked over to my table with a smug smile and sat across from me.

"You're late," I said.

"And you waited," she said slyly as she scoffed and sat back in her seat. She crossed her legs onto the table making the slit in her dress more exposed and I shook my head. She hadn't changed one bit.

"Get your feet off the table," I demanded.

"No, I don't think I will." I looked around the restaurant and slouched into my seat. If I didn't calm down soon I'd end up blowing up this entire place. "Relax Lucy, we're the only ones in here. No need to be jealous about my skin being exposed."

I huffed in laughter and gawked at her. "Jealous? I'd need to give a shit about you to be jealous."

"Oh right, my bad lord Satan," she said sarcastically as she raised her arms.

"Don't call me that shit," I hissed. I hated that nickname more than anything. I don't even know how it originated. I woke up one morning and my subjects began calling me Satan. It was gross.

Lilith laughed softly and shook her head as her hair fell into her face. She'd become quite terrifying these past few centuries. Probably due to the power she stole. From me.

"Why did you want to meet me Lucifer?"

"Because we need to talk about these secrets you threaten to spill."

She pulled a cigarette out of her purse and lit it as I scowled at her. It was thanks to her that Syn had the bad habit as well. She took a long drag and glanced at me. "What about them?"

"Will you be telling any more of mine?" I asked as I leaned onto the table.

She squinted at me. "Anymore? Implying that I already revealed some?"

I shrugged. "Yes."

"I only said you were in love with me."

"Lilith enough of this bullshit. I don't love you at all!" I yelled honestly.

She pointed her cigarette in my direction and calmly raised a brow. "But you are attracted to me..."

I shook my head, she knew nobody could help that. "Me along with the rest of the supernatural world but you know why that is. It has nothing to do with love."

She sighed. "No, but a girl likes to hear it you know?"

This woman was going to be the death of me. Again.

"Well I'm not here to boost your damn confidence," I sneered and she smiled at me. "Give me straight answers Lilith."

"Yes sir."

This was going to be a long damn night and I already dreaded it. "So you cheated on me with Adam?"

She groaned and put her finger in her mouth as if she was gagging and rolled her eyes. "I told you the story already."

"Is Adam her father or is she mine?" I asked. I was hoping that wasn't the case since she and Syn were together, but after seeing how powerful she was, I wasn't sure.

"Oh wow, ew," she said. "Hell no, she's Adam's."

I let out a sigh of relief and nodded. "Then what is she and why does she have underworld abilities? I saw her compel her Jonathan."

Lilith sighed and shook her head. "I suppose your lesson in genetics and magic is long overdue." She removed her legs from the table and sat up. "I took your abilities Lucifer, do you remember that?"

"How could I forgot?" I muttered.

"So Queen is a half succubus, which she gets from your truly," she said smugly as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Mixed with the abilities I acquired from you...and then half Nephilim, from Adam."

I scoffed and shook my head in disbelief. "You're telling me she's a cluster-fuck of the most powerful things in existence?"

Lilith grinned and nodded proudly. "Yeah, she is. That is why I need her and Syn to break up. And I'm going to need your help."

"Why would they need to break up?"

"Could you imagine if they had children, Lucifer?" She asked in a low voice. "The world would explode unless there was a balance and if their kids have kids..."

I closed my eyes and almost shivered as I tried to imagine it. Syn was already more powerful than me and if they had a child, I wouldn't know what that would mean for all the realms. Possibly mass destruction.

"They make each other weak," Lilith urged. "I'm sure you've noticed."

I hated to admit it but she had a point. I had never seen Syn as vulnerable as he was right now. When I created him he was ruthless as he should've been but after meeting her, things changed. I got to see that firsthand after he abandoned our first plan for Heaven.

"Even if we were to make them break up, if they have kids with other people someday, they'll end up together," I pointed out.

"And we'll stop it again." I sighed and shook my head, still unsure about the whole idea. "What if I give you an incentive?" She asked.

"What could you possibly offer me?"

"An artifact of Cain's?...in the shape of a gun. It recently came to my attention that you may be missing it," she said slowly as she grinned at me.

My face dropped and I glared at her. Of course, she had something to do with it, how could I have been surprised? "Where the fuck is it?" I growled.

"Calm down, I'll be happy to give it to you...if you manage to break them up."

I groaned inwardly as I looked at the infuriating woman in front of me. I knew that there had to be more to her plan that she was keeping from me. But at this point, I was desperate enough for the gun to let it go.

"Fine."

There was no way I'd make Syn and Queen break up, especially not now. Lilith was stupid enough to tell me how powerful Queen was and I would use that to my advantage. If Syn and Queen were to have kids, that would make my bloodline the most lethal weapon in existence.

We could take over the world if we wanted.

I just needed to survive long enough to make it to that point, which meant following Lilith's instructions. Or at least making her THINK I am.

If Lilith had the gun I'd damn sure make her believe that they were broken up.

All I needed was a plan.

Lucifer had changed tremendously from the last time I was with him. He was a lot more...gullible. More desperate. So much so that he hadn't noticed I was lying straight to his handsome face.

Maybe it was his relationship making him this stupid because a few centuries ago he would never trust a thing I said. Regardless of the reason for his newfound idiocy, I would use it to my advantage.

I didn't have the gun, at all. Jonathan had it and they were still planning to kill Syn. And I'd let them. Lucifer wouldn't ever be able to tell the difference between the real one and a fake. At least not until it's too late.

He held up a drink and I held mine up in return as we toasted silently to our new "partnership".

Little do you know.

Queen and Syn having kids would be a bad thing but that wasn't why I needed them to break up. I had plans. I gave Syn time to get attached to my daughter and now it was time for my plans to commence.

If they were to break up, Syn would be heartbroken. And that heartbreak would be the greatest power fuel in history since I left Lucifer and he created Syn. This time though, I'd be the one to use that power.

I wouldn't use it for something as stupid as creating a child. With all that magic roaming the Earth I'd do what I've been wanting to do for the past decade.

Resurrect the love of my life.
