Chapter 1017 My Beautiful Monster Part 118

SUMIRE/NORAH

'It was an attempt at trying to pin me down and get into my bed.'

Lex shrugged it off so casually that she almost did the same. But, after living here for a few days, she understands. Nearly all the females living here aside from Grace, want to sleep with Lex. So, it's happened before and that's why he acts the way he does.

It made her sick. If she was by his side, none of them would have dared. Actually, even after Lex had the blood bond ceremony with her current self. It seems the attempts haven't stopped.

She eventually found him. Lucifer was with a woman. The two weren't in an intimate position. But, Sumire felt her heart burn with envy at the sight.

"Also, Miss Makino reported that she ought to be back within the next tear to start the mission."

"I see. Make sure she has everything she needs. If she needs anything else, she can contact me directly."

'Miss Makino?'

That name feels familiar. She tried to focus on the reason why when Lucifer spotted her.

"Norah?" Lucifer walked over. "Is something wrong? You don't usually wake this early."

"Whose Makino?" Sumire immediately questioned.

Why does she get a bad feeling just hearing that name?

Lucifer didn't say anything but Sumire couldn't miss the guilty expression on his face. She felt her heart beat increase. His guilty expression already said it all. But she still refused to believe it unless she hears it.

Cynthia must have understood since she scoffed. "Miss Makino is the Lord's lover.

She froze hearing those words.

"Cynthia!" Lucifer said coldly.

"You ought to tell her boss. Lady Norah seems to be under the delusion that she's special. She's just another blood donor- "

Lucifer grit his teeth. "Enough. I repeatedly said that she is different. If you do not understand that, get out of my sight."

Sumire heard enough and exited the room quickly.

Lover.

Of course he has one.

Of course.

It makes sense. Jacks and even Grace said Lucifer wasn't close with his so called wives.?Meaning, he wouldn't have been satisfied with their blood and would have sought somebody else out.

Lucifer chased after her and grabbed her wrist. Sumire raised her hand and slapped him. Lucifer was looking at her with wide eyes as he held his now sore cheek in shock.

"I have had enough of this."

"Enough?"

Sumire nodded. "Since I got here, you have been avoiding having a proper conversation with me."

"Love-" Lucifer started but she shakes her head and bit her bottom lip.

This wasn't how she wanted to tell him but right now she feels like hurting him.

"I don't have a lot of time here like this Lex, and it's not because you intend to return her to Sora and her friends. It's because the guardian gave me a time limit." Sumire paused seeing his pained expression.

He didn't seem surprised. 'That must be the reason why he seemed to be in a rush whenever they did it.'

"I don't have a lot of time." Sumire repeated. "But, you keep wasting the little time I have left. Moreover, I keep finding you with women in strange situations. I just can't deal with this." She walked away and this time Lex didn't follow.

And she understood right at that moment, why her connection with Sora is stronger even now.

Two days later.

When she was in the middle of painting another picture. Lucifer strolled into the tower. It didn't surprise her that he knew she was here. It seemed like the last time he fought with her current self, she hid away in this tower. Grace was the one who told her about this place. She knew it would be the perfect place for them to have their talk, and for him to find her eventually. Two days, it seemed he lasted longer with her current self. She knew Lex would come eventually, he has never been able to stay away from her. Whenever they fought in the past, he would be the first one to apologize.

"You're not supposed to be here. Leave." Sumire said coldly.

Even if she was waiting for him to come, only two days had passed. The wound from their fight was still fresh.

"Norah, don't do this." Lucifer pleaded.

"You told me that you didnt have anybody special." Sumire said accusingly.

"She isn't special."

"Clearly she is if your subordinates are treating her with respect." Sumire scoffed. She hasn't been hauled away in this tower just painting, she has been gathering information too. The servants seemed reluctant to speak about it at first, but after Jacks said the Lord wouldn't mind, they started to talk.

It seems this Makino person is very respected amongst Lex people.

More respect than they give her. She has seen the dirty gazes they give her.

"That's because she slept with them."

"You let your lover sleep with your subordinates?" Sumire said, surprised.

"Because it's not what you're thinking. She isn't special. I just needed a source."

Right, of course he needs a source. She just wishes he hadn't given this woman so much power and control. She understands why Lex did it, but it's easy for others to misunderstand.

'We all thought miss Makino was the wife he missed, we had no idea it was you.'

Lucifer wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. "Norah. You must know how I feel about you. How from the moment I laid eyes on you, I've never thought of another."

"What about this Makino person? Do you say that to her too?" Sumire said bitterly.

"I don't. We don't have that kind of relationship."

Sumire feels his lips on her neck and she pulls away.

"No kissing, I'm still angry."

"Of course."

"Lex. Did you really start an entertainment company to torture this body's current soul?"

'To torture me? How could he, when he knew I'd be in this body?'

Lucifer's silence confirmed her words.

"Is it the darkness?"

"Yes." Lucifer trailed off and exhaled deeply. "When I realized what had happened. It was too late to fix things. To a certain degree I have been minimizing the damage. I'd never hurt you Norah."

"I know, I love you." Sumire said.

Lucifer nodded and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. 'He isn't saying those words back. He would never have hesitated before."

She feels uneasy.
