Arc 1: Counterattack of the Tyrant CEO's Ex-Fiancée (Lucifer x Reader) Chapter 5

You examined him, then you nodded. "Okay ... "

He pulled the cover over your chest.

"Hey, Lucifer?"

"Yes, love?"

"Thank you."

He grinned, then bent down to kiss your forehead. "Go back to sleep, I'll be right outside if you need me." He stepped outside, glanced at you one last time, then shut the door behind him.

You hugged the duvet. "Haaah, I wanna be pampered by this handsome sugar daddy in the real world, too!"

The system thought its Host dreamed too much.

[Is Host going to stay here for the rest of the day?]

"Why not? The male god insisted on doing the work for me already. You did make sure the hit could be traced back to the mother, right?"

[Ding. Rest assured, I already leaked incriminating evidence to both journalists and the police.]

"Then we don't have anything to worry about. Today we just sit back and enjoy the show."

The system prepared its all-seeing monitor.

With the male lead's aid, the investigation moved fast. In no time at all, the cops located the hitmen, who then revealed that the woman who hired them was in fact the wife of the man who'd been sleeping with the murdered starlet. Unfortunately for both of them, your "mother" used the check you gave her to cash out. This particular check was from your "father's" book and even had his signature. The two were believed to be in cahoots and Lucifer, who knew the truth of your relationship with them, wasted no efforts in taking them down.

Your father, who insisted that he was still the company CEO and held 30% of the shares, could do nothing. Lucifer forced him to give up his shares lest he faced a worse sentence. Your mother's wails and attempts to put the blame on you were silenced under Lucifer's oppressive glare.

In the end, everything happened as you planned. The husband-wife pair was now under arrest and while you played the role of a filial daughter, you didn't go out of your way to give them a good lawyer. You visited them separately but Lucifer came with you to both (this way they'd be too scared to yell at you).

With this turn of events, you managed to smoke out the rat.

Ann, who believed that the company was now a sinking ship, put her shares on sale. You bought it before Lucifer could and then blackmailed her into leaving the city using evidence of her embezzlement.

Knowing her own limits, Ann packed up and booked the earliest flight away. The second her plane left the country, the system notified you:

[Ding. Main Mission: "Save and protect grandfather's company" has been accomplished. Does the Host wish to stay and finish the side task?]

"I'll stay." You were curious what cards Lotus had left to play. She refused to leave the city with her sister, still believing that you didn't know about their relationship.

[Ding. Reminder: Time remaining: 29 hours]

"I know, I know."

You said as you checked your makeup. Because of the previous incidents, you stayed in the house and lounged around to avoid the paparazzi. But tonight you can finally have some fun.

"You look beautiful tonight, love." Lucifer kissed your cheek and helped you inside the passenger seat.

You can never get tired of that voice, or the curve of his lips, or those arching brows--
