Chapter 40

Damaris POV
I stood glued to my spot, trying to make what just takes place,
Lucifer going to marry someone else
No, no; I must have heard wrong, this can't be true.
But, when I studied up, I saw Lucifer and that girl, as other couples are coming and congratulating them
First, I thought to go towards Lucifer but later; I realized he don't like me near him, so I spun around and runs away from there.
***********
My mind is whirling and spinning as I was sitting in the living room of my apartment, watching TV, I got home two hours ago; I don't remember what just happened to me
I barely remember anything, giving Lucifer a cheque, which; I got after selling my dad's company and properties.
But, after that, I think I misheard him, yes, absolutely it can be a mistake in hearing
I leaned over the couch and closed my tired eyes, but just as I closed my eyes, a burning pain jolt my body with a jerk
I want to sleep, yes definitely, my mind didn't seem in the right place, I have to sleep first.
I woke up, as I heard sounds of birds chirping, I hate sounds of birds; it is so annoying, I looked out from large glass window from my living room, morning already arrived
I sat up and realized I fall asleep on the couch
I settle up to go towards the kitchen, then my eyes stop at the newspaper. Outside of my apartment door, I quickly opened the gate and grabbed it, just as I open it, my eyes widened,
One of the richest men on earth, Billionaire Lucifer Kingston, is soon going to get married to his childhood sweetheart Charlotte Wright
And below the title, it's Lucifer and that girl's pic
No, no, this is a lie
I immediately tore the newspaper away and brings light from the kitchen and burned it and sit on the floor seeing the burning paper, I clutched my hair so tightly and shouted; I screamed so loud to let my frustrations pour away; I screeched to cause my heartfelt light from the burden of pain; I am in!
I laid over the floor, my eyes are half-opened
I quickly make my way towards the basement of my apartment building and sit in my car, finally, I stopped my car in front of Lucifer's mansion,
I am about to go from the main gate but I remember Lucifer warning to his security team about me; I know they won't stop me from going inside because they respect me but, I can't let their job be in danger due to me
So, I secretly make my way towards the back of the mansion, without getting noticed by anyone.

Lucifer POV
'Come-on Lucifer, you and me we both know very well that you love her, ' Ryan said to me
'Shut up, I don't love her, she is nobody to me ' I snapped at him
'Stop being a dick, big bro, stop tormenting her, you don't even know what she is been through" Noah snapped at me
'Don't tell me what to do or what not" I snapped at them
'But Lucifer, hating someone for someone else sin is not what a wise person may do," Chorlette said to me worriedly,
'For God sake, Charlotte, I don't expect this from you, you know my reasons, you know me since childhood, ' I said to her unbelievably
She rolled her eyes,
'I know you; since we learn to walk, but thinking that you don't deserve her is too much Lucifer, think wisely, and please stop being an ass to her, and apologize her for your behavior," Chorlette asked me while folding her hands and glaring at me
'Why would I, she is nothing to me, but the daughter of that man, who is responsible for my parent's death," I said bitterly but deep down; I also know that I love her more than anything
'Come on, she is his daughter not him, and she won't even know that he was her father ' Ryan argued with me
'Get lost you all, leave me alone, why you all are here, ' I asked them annoyed
It's early morning and Ryan, Noah and Charlotte barged into my mansion and now they all are in my room, begging me to make everything right with Damaris, but I can't
Since childhood, I saw Noah, and me, Yearning for our parents' love, we love our parents so much, it's so difficult to live without them, I remember Noah was an only toddler at that time, but I know how, it felt when they are not with us
I used to cry on the corner as my friends used to bully me, mocking that I don't have parents, even one day I almost died that day in football ground of school, if teachers didn't come on time as some boys are bullying me so badly and with so much of cruelty was so broken from inside but still I managed to hold up myself because of Noah; as I have his responsibility for me
Soon, when I completed my graduation; I take over my father's company, and now everyone in the whole world knows what is Kingston Empires, I made this company touch sky from below, as I entered into the business world, I slowly started becoming ruthless but; I never misbehave with anyone especially girls
But, since the day Damaris comes into my life, everything changed forever, how easily she makes me fall in love with her, even I didn't realize how and when, I fall for her But that day, everything changed, her dad is behind the accident of my parents, he is the reason my parents are not in this world
I can't think straight after that, all my yearning, the pain I have been through since childhood without my parents comes in front of me
So, I decided to push her away, to push her away from me, from my life
I hate to accept but I still love her, but now; I have to push her away from me I can't be with her, we are not meant to be together, never
That's the reason, I called my childhood best friend Charlotte to act as we are in love and about to get married but in reality it is a complete lie, I am just doing this to make Damaris hurt and push her away from me. But my heart is very stubborn, he always demands only one girl, he oh beats for our one girl, he only thinks about only one girl, he only falls for only one girl and it's Damaris.
'Guys, I want to be alone, get out everyone, " I told them strictly
After they all are gone I sat on my bed, and closed my eyes Suddenly her beautiful Iris eyes innocence always sines from them comes into my heart, making my eyes snap opened
I sighed in frustration
I heard a sound like someone is knocking over a large glass window of my room, I looked up but no one was there; I come near it and suddenly, Damaris appeared from there, she knocked again over the window
I looked down; she is standing over a little wall space behind the window of the mansion, didn't she is afraid to fall from such a height, she gestures me to open the window, finally I open it, and noticed a rope at the edge of Wall, so she must be climbed by this to the wall of the mansion
She girl is very unique, not every girl have the courage to do such a thing
She gently pushed me aside and entered my bedroom from the window, and sighed looking at me
I glared at her and she keep looking at me continuously, with so much love in her Iris eyes
'But, she is his daughter, he killed my parents", I looked away from her
I heard her sigh, she slowly comes near me and hugged me so tightly, I am about to hug her back but refrained myself not to doing it
She remained there hugging me; I didn't push her away like before because; I am also missing her, I also want it to feel her warmth; she becomes like a drug to me; I felt so incomplete without her.
She slowly pulled away from me and cupped my face and stared into my eyes 'I miss you Lucifer, I love you, please don't marry her, I love you please ' she begged me looking into my eyes
I grabbed her hand and pushed her away
'Stop it, just stop this all drama, don't you know, we are over now, leave me, first your bastard father now you; why can't you just leave me" I hissed at her, I can't seem to move on from the misery and pain; which I suffered since childhood because of her pathetic father's sins
She looked down at the floor, crying and hiccupping silently, my hands are yearning to hug her and comfort her to kiss he forehead, but I can't
'I am going to be married soon, so you better stop bothering me, " I said to Her cold while looking away from her, because, I know just from looking at her and; I will lose myself to her.
She stared at me wide-eyed but then try to laugh like I was kidding with her; but failed miserably " You must be pranking with me right, where are the hidden cameras, this must be a prank " she said wiping away her tears and trying to laugh but failed miserably as her eyes are so bloodshot and puffy, because of excessive crying, my heart shattered looking at her, but this is the only way; I can push her away.
She deserves someone who can keep her happy and cherish her, but I can't, I can't keep her happy, I am good for nothing, she will be always in pain and sadness if she lives with me, I always lived with pain since childhood; after my parents leave me, I become so shattered from inside, I always used to go to their graveyard and questions them why they left me after my classmates bullied me and make fun of me and I think I still can't get over from that pain, so how can I keep her happy, when; I am myself is in immense pain.
She deserves someone who can keep her happy, not me, the thought of her with someone else, hurts my heart so much, but I don't deserve her, she deserves the best and someone who can keep her happy more than me, for that she has to forget me and hate me and I have to make her hate me at any cost, for her happiness
'Why would I, it's true, I love Charlotte as she is my childhood sweetheart and my everything, so now get out and never show your face again," I said to her harshly and she just kept staring at me then something snapped inside her she quickly runs away from my room and I go behind her I saw her going into the kitchen, I come again in my bedroom and she entered with a sharp-edged knife with her; she comes towards me and handed me that sharp knife
'You want to get rid out of me right? Then fine, do it" she said in a weak voice
I looked at her shocked because in the ext words comes from her mouth Shattered my world with my heart
'Kill me Lucifer, this is the only way we can get separated" She whispered looking into my eyes.
