A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL : CHAPTER 181 – 190

I turned onto my side, staring out the window at the night sky. The stars blinked down at me, indifferent to my plight. “Do you see me?” I whispered, half-heartedly addressing the cosmos. “Do you even care?”

But the silence continued, a void that echoed my own despair. I reached for the bottle of whiskey on the nightstand, pouring a generous glass. The amber liquid glinted in the dim light, a small comfort

Just as I began to gather my thoughts, Mammon sauntered into the room, his confidence evident in the way he carried himself.

“What do you want?” I growled, irritation spilling from my lips.

Mammon’s eyes sparkled with mischief, but there was an undercurrent of seriousness in his tone. “It’s time you go back to Hell, Lucifer. Those demons are getting out of hand.”

I shot him a glare, my patience wearing thin. “You’re not in a position to give me commands, Mammon. I don’t need your advice on how to handle my affairs.” I growl ” first Gabriel, now you”

He took a step closer, his expression shifting from playful to earnest. “You know I’m not trying to boss you around. But you can’t ignore the chaos brewing down there. It’s spiraling out of control, and you know it. They’re restless without your presence.”

I turned away, pacing the room, the echoes of my earlier confrontation with Selene and Lucien still haunting me. “And what do you think I can do? March in there and demand they behave? You know how they feel about me right now. They see weakness, and they’ll exploit it.”

“Exactly,” Mammon replied, his voice firm. “They’re waiting for a reason to challenge you. You leaving them unchecked is like throwing meat to starving wolves.”

I let out a harsh laugh, the sound bitter. “So, what? You think I should just sweep in, wave my hand, and remind them who I am? It’s not that simple, and you know it.”

“Then what do you propose?” he asked, crossing his arms. “You can’t keep hiding away in your mansion, sulking over a kiss. It’s beneath you.”

The mention of that kiss sent a fresh wave of anger coursing through me. “It’s not just a kiss, Mammon. It’s a betrayal. Lucien thought I wouldn’t find out, as if I’m blind to the games played in my own domain.”

“Then confront it!” Mammon urged, stepping closer. “You’re the Devil. You’re supposed to be above this. Go back, remind them of your power, and reestablish your control. They need to fear you again.”

“Fear?” I scoffed, shaking my head. “Is that all they understand? I’ve spent centuries building a legacy I do not care for, do you think I want to be in hell? Do I look like someone that created hell!!! Those demons won’t even respect me properly!!!”

“Respect is born from fear” Mammon countered, his tone unwavering. “You know that as well as I do. everybody knows father throw you in there but right now, that’s your place, your territory.You need to show them you’re not just going to sit back and watch while they tear each other apart.”

I felt the weight of his words settle in my mind, gnawing at the edges of my resolve. “And what if I don’t want to go back? What if I want to leave this all behind?”

“father will be furious” he replied bluntly. “You can’t turn your back on Hell. You will only make him punish us more.”

I paused, considering his words. “So what do you suggest? I just march back down there and play the role of the benevolent ruler? I’m not in the mood to be a puppet for their entertainment.”

“Not a puppet,” Mammon insisted, his gaze steady. “A king. Show them that you’re still the one in charge. You’re the Devil, Lucifer. This is your realm. Don’t let a moment of weakness dictate your reign.”

I took a deep breath, the tension in my shoulders easing slightly. “You’re right about one thing, Mammon. I can’t let them think I’m weak. But right now, I do not care about hell, if father want them in control, he should go down there himself!!.”

” Lucifer”

I stood up from the bed ” am sick of him trying to rule my life, yes he created me but for what reason? To be his puppet, do as he says, am done !!”

” This is not right Lucifer” Mammon growl ” do not bring down father’s wrath ”

” I do not care about that” I look at him ” get out of my home Mammon, I don’t want to see you anymore, tell the other fallen angels to stay out of my way….you might as well become king of hell for all I care”

I have enough shits going on in my life at the moment.
