A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL : CHAPTER 221 – 230
Mirabel nodded, her expression serious. “I’ll make sure it’s perfect. But Lucifer… you need to know that this is your child, the one you wish to kill.”
I sighed, running a hand through my hair. ” Do as you’re told”
As she worked, I leaned against the counter, the aroma of herbs filling the air. My mind drifted back to Selene, to the way her eyes had flashed with determination and fear. I wanted to protect her, to keep her safe, this is the only way to ensure that.
After a few moments, Mirabel finished preparing the tea, pouring the steaming liquid into a delicate cup. “Here you go. I added a touch of honey for sweetness.”
I took the cup from her “It looks perfect.”
“Just be gentle with her,” she reminded me once more, her gaze steady. “She’s been through a lot, and it’ll take alot from her the moment she drink this”
“hmm” I look at her ” since when do you care about her”
” Has nothing to do with care”
” Mirabel, something is up with you ” I look at her ” don’t make a fool out of me ”
“i see no reason to betray you, I did exactly as you asked” Mirabel said with a knowing smile.
I nodded, the truth in her words resonating with me. As I made my way back to Selene’s chambers, the cup of tea warm in my hands, I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that lingered in my chest.
I knocked softly on the door. “Selene?”
“Come in,” she called, her voice muffled.
I opened the door, stepping inside to find her wrapped in a towel, her hair still damp from her bath. She looked up, surprised to see me. “I thought you’d be in the study or something.”
“I wanted to check on you,” I said, walking toward her. “I brought you some tea.”
Her eyes widened slightly as she saw the cup in my hands. “You didn’t have to do that.”
“I wanted to,” I replied, offering her the cup. “I thought it might help you relax.”
She took the cup, her fingers brushing against mine, and I felt a jolt of connection. “Thank you,” she said softly, taking a sip.
I watched her as she savored the warmth, the tension in her shoulders visibly easing. “How does it taste?”
“Good. Really good,” she admitted, a small smile breaking through her earlier defenses. “I appreciate it.”
“I’m glad,” I said. “how are you feeling?”
Selene set the cup down on her bedside table, her expression filled with calmness” it’s amazing to think am growing your child.”
“I understand,” I replied, my heart aching for her. “i gave it a thought, you should keep the child, am sure we will find a way to keep you both alive ”
“really?” she gasp, her eyes flashing with intensity. “you want the baby now” she hold my hand and in that process, the towel fall off but she pay no need to it, just leave my hand on her stomach
I look at her happy she looks, why love something that is not even here? ” That’s your child ” she move closer and my gaze move back to her face
” It sure is” her face light up with smile, I look at her bare breast and naked body, as much as i want to ravish her this moment, i need her to rest and accept what’s to come.
Selene sighed, running a hand through her hair. “I just feel so dizzy and sleepy”
“You Should rest” I said firmly, pick up the towel, wrap it around her, lift her up in my arms then unto the bed” it must be the stress .”
“I completely forgot about the others girls” she replied, her voice softer now. “I wanted saving them but one of them called my name, they knew me and I really want to know why.”
“I promise you, you will, right now… You need to rest.” I assured her, my gaze steady. ” Sleep”
