Sephie looked at Lucien who was sitting while tying his shoelaces, she knew Lucien would be leaving tonight and it seemed he had no schedule to go to the casino. Sofia suspected that she couldn't just let Lucien go if it wasn't part of the job.

"You want to go?" Asked Sephie who stood up while folding her arms in front of her chest.

"I'm impressed you were able to break into my apartment even though I changed the password so many times."

"I told you, don't underestimate me!"

"Okay, but isn't it impolite to just walk into other people's homes without permission?"

"Manners are not part of the nature of devils like us. We don't have to do it!"

Sofia's words made Lucien stunned for a moment, he got up from the chair and walked away from Sofia without saying anything.

"You want to see Victor and Ruby?" he asked. Lucien stopped walking and looked back with a straight face and he didn't mean to hide it at all.

"Yes, they invited me to their penthouse!"

"Party?"

"Dunno, but it looks like it's just the three of us." Lucien smiled dryly as if to show Sofia that he already knew what they were going to do there.

Sofia was worried, she went straight to Lucien, stood right in front of him and looked deep into his eyes.

"You'd better not do it! It could be a trap from him!"

"I've been looking forward to this, I have no reason to follow your words!"

"I didn't know you were so easily provoked and you couldn't think straight! You must already know what kind of man Victor is, right?"

"Sofia, listen! Just because you've been following her for days doesn't mean you know everything about her. I lived with her for eight years, I know her much better! actually before he asked you to accompany him to sleep with a woman!"

Hearing Lucien's words made Sofia speechless. He knew that Lucien was right about this, he was the one who knew Victor better than anyone. Because of that he is the one who knows Victor's weak point the most.

"Okay, I understand. I don't want to interfere this time. I'm just worried if-"

"You don't have to worry about me! I know what I'm doing. Now I have a chance to be as close to that bastard as Levi Mayr and not Lucien Sanders. That's why this time I'm going to make him fall for me as much as he fell for Lucien or maybe Levi will be a much more important figure than Lucien in a Victor's life."

Lucien stood at the door of a luxurious penthouse where he used to live when he was working with Victor. He knew this place very well, Victor's favorite place to date many beautiful women.

Ruby opened the door for him only by wearing a black evening gown which was very sexy and showed some parts of her body. Lucien looked at her coldly and it made Ruby shudder.

"Please come in!" Said Ruby who looked very nervous. However the man standing before her was so much like her husband, too much alike that she could believe they were the same person.

Without saying anything, Lucien just walked in at a calm pace. Her perfume smelled and made Ruby surprised. This was the same perfume that Lucien used when they were about to make love.

Ruby's body was shaking, Victor was still in his room and now he was alone with a man who looked exactly like his husband.

"Where's Victor?" Ask Lucien. He knew that Ruby felt very nervous and awkward, especially since she had to wear clothes like this even though it was because of Victor's request.

"S-she's getting ready. Please sit down, I'll make you a drink!"

"You made it? Aren't there any servants in the house?"

"Victor asked the maids to take the day off, as he doesn't want to be disturbed!"

"Looks like he's planning something so wild that he doesn't want anyone to see. Isn't that right?"

Ruby only smiled awkwardly as a response to Lucien's question and Lucien knew that Ruby was so nervous that she didn't even dare to look at her face.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back!" Ruby said as she walked away, leaving Lucien standing alone in the living room.

Lucien looked at a large photo hanging on the wall. Photo of him and Victor taken five years ago. He didn't expect that Victor was still displaying this photo after he was the one who actually became the mastermind behind his death.

"How? Very similar to you, isn't it?" Asked Victor who stepped toward him.

"Yes, I think so!"

"I used to think that you and Lucien were the same person, but I'm starting to notice that there are differences between you two."

"Really?"

"Yes, I know Lucien very well. Where's Ruby?"

"Preparing drinks!"

"Oh...good! Please sit down!" He said as he relaxed on the sofa and Lucien followed without feeling awkward even though Victor kept looking at him with a smile.

"How do you think Ruby?"

"So pretty!"

"Is it true?"

"Yes!"

"You're attracted to him?"

"Any man would be attracted to her!"

"You're right! Even though we've been together for a year, it's strange that I haven't gotten tired of him yet. I've never wanted to commit to any woman. But I think there's nothing wrong if I get into a serious relationship this time."

"I'm impressed you can figure that out. If I were you, I'd just sleep with him a few times, then throw him away!"

"You can't throw her away, there's something about this woman that you don't want to lose her."

Lucien tried to hold back his laughter when he heard Victor say something so romantic for the first time. He always remembers everything Victor said about women that women are only objects for men and they are worthless.

"So, what is your purpose in inviting me tonight?"

"I just want to do something that I could never do when Lucien was here. We always share everything, because for me he is very precious. I give my wealth and also my women to him. But of the dozens of women we have shared together only Ruby that I can't have."

"Really? Why?"

"That's because Lucien used his feelings. He could never let me touch Ruby and it makes me so angry that after everything I gave him, he betrayed me instead."

"What a bastard he is, you should have killed him for that!"

"I hope so, but he just disappeared and no one knows where he is."
