His Missing Murderer

Chapter 1: I am Lucifer

Zander King's Point of View:

I sat at the meeting table inside the Roman empire's meeting room. My second in command Elijah sat beside me, looking almost as annoyed as I was. I had a meeting scheduled with Lucifer and he was late.

"So sorry I am late", the man said as he entered the room, "The kids wouldn't let me leave."

I sighed, "it's alright."

Soon after he sat down, two other men entered the room and took seats around the large table.

"Are we ready to begin?", I asked, glancing at everyone.

"Yes", The first man who entered the room said, "However, before we start, I would like to go over introductions."

"Of course", I agreed.

"My name is Vincenzo Roman", He announced and gestured to the other men, "Those are my brothers, Valentino and Lorenzo."

"Nice to meet you all, I am Zander King", I replied.

Vincenzo cleared his throat", In your email, you said this meeting was urgent? However, you failed to mention the reason for it?"

"Yes, I need Lucifer's help", I sighed. I really hated to ask for his assistance.

"With what", Lorenzo grumbled, almost in a protective manner.

"Someone keeps stealing from my company", I explained, "I wouldn't ask for help but I cannot seem to find a single trace of who it is."

"How do you expect us to help?"Vincenzo asked, folding his hands together.

I sighed, "I've heard that Lucifer is one of the most powerful of the Roman siblings." I had no idea if Lucifer was one of these three or not.

"Over the past few years, Lucifer has made a name for themselves so I can understand why you would ask for their help", Valentino explained, "However, they are very busy so I don't know if it will be possible."

I scoffed, "I want to speak to Lucifer face to face."

"That won't be possible", Vincenzo announced.

I requested this meeting with Lucifer, and I got sent the three stooges. "Make it possible", I demanded, "I'll wait here until Lucifer arrives." I leaned back in my chair, making myself comfortable.

The three of them left the room. Elijah nudged my arm. "This isn't your company Z, You can't just demand something from the Romans."

"We are almost as powerful as they are", I grumbled.

A few minutes later the three of them entered the room, looking concerned and anxious. They took their seats. Lorenzo muttered something under his breath and sent me a glare.

"So?", I asked.

"Lucifer is in town and will be here within the hour", Lorenzo announced.

I smirked, "Lovely."

"Do you want anything while we wait?"Valentino offered.

"I'll take some scotch", I replied and glanced at Elijah, "Make that two."

Valentino nodded and went to the speaker beside the door. I started to feel nervous, knowing I was going to be meeting Lucifer for the first time.

__________________________________________________________

It didn't take long for the speaker to buzz, signalling someone was coming to the meeting room. I downed the last swallow of my scotch and sat up straighter in my chair.

The meeting room door was harshly slammed open, making the few pieces of art on the walls shake. A woman entered the room and instantly, her green eyes were glaring at me.

Her long brown hair was curled loosely and swayed as she walked to the empty seat beside Lorenzo.

She crossed her arms over her chest, "So what do you want?"

"I'm waiting for Lucifer", I announced.

"I never asked what you were doing, I asked what you wanted", She demanded.

I replied, "That is between me and Lucifer."

"Mr. King", She smirked, "I am Lucifer."

I scoffed, "Is this some kind of joke?" There is no way in hell that this petite young woman is Lucifer.

"The only joke is you wasting my time", She sneered, "Now say something like that to me again and you will have a blade buried in your chest."

I chuckled, "Yeah whatever, come on Elijah, these people are fucking with me."

I stood up from my chair, grabbed my suit jacket from the back of the chair, and began to leave the meeting room. Before I could get to the door, I felt wind rushing behind me and something was stopping me from moving. I glanced behind me and a throwing knife was pinning my suit jacket to the wall.

I glanced at the four people to see who threw it. The woman stood up from her chair, twirling a knife between her fingers.

"I see that we were not introduced before Mr. King", She announced, "My name is Luciana Roman or as most people know of me, Lucifer."
