MASTER HAYDEN'S POV:-
I looked at myself in the mirror one last time as I was finally ready to go. I stepped out of my bedroom and made my way towards the main gate of the palace. As I stepped out, the driver held the door open for me. I hopped into the car and grabbed the invitation card that was sent for me. I smiled and put it inside my jacket pocket. I was wearing white tuxedo with black shirt along with a red tie and a red pocket square.
"Have you checked all the gifts but yourself? Did you separate the gifts for the couple and the baby boy? I don't want to be humiliated there." I asked as soon as the driver hopped into the car. He bowed his head with a smile on his face.
"I double checked, Master Hayden. You don't have to worry about it. To keep the trace, I asked them to pack the child's gifts in different paper." He replied in a polite tone. I nodded my head and signalled him to drive. He started the car and drove off.
After an hour drive, we finally reached the Kart's territory. The driver opened the door and stepped out. I grabbed the big flower bouquet I had brought with me for the couple. I straightened up my clothes and marched towards the doors of their mansion. I looked around and smiled. I had found my friend standing on the other corner of the room. While my driver was getting all the gifts out of the car, I made my way towards the lovely couple.
"Merry Christmas Derek Kart! And happy eighth wedding anniversary." I said as I stopped right beside him. He turned around along with his wife. He smiled widely and he opened his arms for me. I smiled back and hugged my friend. He patted my back and I did the same. We broke the hug and I turned to look at his wife.
"Happy eighth wedding anniversary, Maria." I said as I handed her the flower bouquet. She smiled and smelled the flowers.
"Thank you so much, Hayden. They are lovely. And Merry Christmas to you too." She replied in a polite tone. I nodded my head and looked around for their son.
"Where is Zeus?" I asked as I did not see him at all.
"He is in his room. He is angry at us. Maria's friend was also asking for that boy. I really did not know how hard it is to become a father. I salute my father to be my father." Derek replied while rubbing the back of his neck nervously. I laughed out loud and he joined me. Maria shook her head as she saw us making fun of her son.
"Okay, I am gonna go and check him. I brought him gifts and I am getting him downstairs at the party." I said and turned around. I signalled my driver to follow me. He did as he was told.
I knocked the door lightly and opened the door. I looked at the most adorable scene ever. Zeus was sitting on his bed, facing the window he had in his room. His chubby cheeks were chubbier because of the cute little pout on his face. He was staring at the sky. "Hey, Buddy! I thought you would be accompanying me at the party tonight, but you are sitting here, pouting like a girl. What's wrong with my buddy?" I asked him as I stepped into the room. As soon as he recognized my voice, he turned around and stood up. He jumped on me and I hugged him tightly.
"Dada did not buy me a tuxedo like him. He said I look cute in jeans and a shirt. A gentleman should not look cute. A gentleman should look handsome." He said with the same angry pout on his face. It took me everything not to laugh out loud or he would be angry at me too. I sat him on the bed again and he looked up at me.
"Yeh! Your dada has not grown up yet. But don't worry. Uncle Hayden is here for you buddy. Uncle Hayden brought you a tuxedo exactly as Uncle Hayden is wearing. So my buddy would look handsome as me." I replied with a smirk on my face. He smiled widely and looked around for his tuxedo.
"Nathan, please bring the tuxedo for Zeus." I asked my driver who was standing outside of the room. He knocked and opened the door. He stepped into the room and gave me the tuxedo for Zeus. I unzipped it's cover and showed the tuxedo to Zeus. He started jumping in excitement as he saw the tuxedo. I chuckled and helped him to get rid of his old clothes. I made him wear the tuxedo and styled his hair as mine as well.
"And done. You look like a gentleman. Handsome and dashing." I said and he checked himself in the mirror.
"You are the best, uncle Hayden." He buttered me and laughed out loud at his innocent claims.
"Now go and open your gifts. As promised, I have bought you thirty gifts. As you are a big boy now. You are three." I said and he clapped his hands in excitement. I chuckled and straightened up his tuxedo jacket. The door opened and Maria stepped into the room.
"Awww… look at my little baby Zeus. He looks as handsome as his father. How lovely." She said in a cute baby tone. Zeus gave her his hands and she carried him. She turned around and mouthed thank you towards me. I mouthed you're welcome and she stepped out of the room. I shook my head and followed them behind.
Zeus got busy opening his gifts and I was standing beside him. Just then, someone bumped hard into my back. I turned around and I was fast enough to catch her before she would have gotten hurt. I literally got lost in her beautiful green orbs. She was stunning as a fairy and innocent as an angel. She gulped hard as I was staring at her face shamelessly.
"KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!" I heard people yelling around us. I looked around and found every single eye on us. She gulped hard and her cheeks turned rosy pink. Her beauty was breathtaking. I looked up and found mistletoe hanging upon our heads. I looked back at her then stared at her pink lips. I looked back into her eyes to ask her permission. She nodded her head and I smiled.
I stood straight and wrapped an arm around her waist to pull her closer to me. With the other hand, I cupped her beautiful face. She rested her hands on my biceps. I leaned in and captured her lips in a loving long kiss. I licked her lower lip and she quickly parted her lips. I pushed my tongue inside her mouth and caressed her tongue with mine. A soft moan escaped her lips but died in my mouth. I broke the kiss and rested my forehead with her forehead. "I am Hayden Cerberus." I told her my name, hoping to get her name as well.
"Evangeline Darkstone. Merry Christmas, Hayden." She replied and her voice was like the song of the angel in my ears.
"Merry Christmas, Evangeline." I replied and slammed my lips on her juicy pink lips again.
LUCIFER'S POV:-Wearing my tuxedo, I was ready to step out and look around to my kingdom. Another day to start, torturing some bad souls. Meet the new additions. Who were sent to hell when I was resting. Not that I needed to rest, I was an immortal. But I get tired of watching stupid people crying and begging for my mercy. I sometimes want to laugh at them. Mostly, those who beg for my mercy, they had never shown mercy to the others while they were alive.Rubbing the ashes off of my shoulder that managed to touch my suit. I turned around and walked towards the door. As I was about to open the door, I heard a knock. I rolled my eyes in annoyance as I could already smell Barbas on the other side of the door. I opened the door and he bowed his head in respect. "Speak up, Barbas. I don't have much time to wait for your words to be out of your mouth. I have souls to torture. I just love my life." I said, rubbing my pal
LUCIFER'S POV:-I was puzzled and out of words to describe the situation. Nothing till now made me think if she deserved to be in hell. I heard a knock on the door of the bedroom. "Come in." I said and stood up. She stepped into the room. She set the clothes she had brought for me. Humming a song, she turned around and left. Once I was sure she was far away, I sat on the edge of the bed. "Barbas!" I called my demon.In a blink of an eye, he was standing beside me. He bowed his head and I looked up at him. "Do me a favor. Send a message for my beloved brother, Gabriel. Ask him to come here as we have an unknown situation here. I can not understand what is going on. She does not seem to be one of the mean souls that are sent here to get punished for their deeds." I ordered him. He bowed his head again and went away.I did as I needed to do. I peeled my clothes off and went in to take a
LUCIFER'S POV:-I was walking back and forth into my room, waiting for my brother to finally visit me. I heard the knock on my door. I opened the door and rolled my eyes in annoyance. It was Barbas who had visited me again. "What are you doing here? And where is my brother?" I asked him in an annoyed tone as I went back towards the couches. I sat down and he stood in front of me."Master, your brother has received your hundredth message. And he replied the hundredth time that he will be here soon. However, I came here for the other thing you ordered. I have asked around and according to everyone around, everyone knows her. They have been visiting her ever since she came here. At first, she was calling people then she went silent and started planting flowers. We don't know how that happened." He replied and I gritted my teeth."And no one thought that they must tell me first if they have sp
UCIFER'S POV:-As we reached the gates of hell, we landed and our wings disappeared. "Azrael, we need to talk. It is an emergency." Gabriel loudly yelled as he looked at the sky. For a minute, there was nothing, but then Azrael appeared with his long wings. I smirked as I knew Gabriel was the only one who could call him. Everyone listens to the big brother."What is it, brother? Wait, what the hell is he doing here? And why are you with him, brother?" Azrael bombarded Gabriel with all those questions. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. While Gabriel sighed and shook his head."Brother, we have something important to discuss. You need to be calm because if not, you will not understand how serious the situation is." Gabriel replied to Azrael. Azrael was busy glaring at me. He did not listen to Gabriel. Gabriel growled in his chest and Azrael narrowed his head."You wi
LUCIFER'S POV:-We all stepped out of her world and I turned to look at my brothers. They both had the same questioning expressions on their faces as I had the time when I first stepped out of her world. "Tell me brothers, what do you both think of her? Do you both think that she is being punished and she is not showing it to us? Or you both still think that she deserves to be punished for something? Even after hearing her story." I asked them and they both stared at each other's face.I started walking towards my throne room while they both just followed me behind. Without uttering a single word, they just followed me. But I was surprised with myself. In normal circumstances, I would have been sarcastic with them. I would have been taunting them in a mocking tone. But I was not doing anything. Maybe those innocent tears were something new for me. As I was habitual of hearing terrified screams and begs for mercy.
LUCIFER'S POV:-I was still thinking about different things that might have happened to her. Just then, someone started banging my door. I sighed and stood up. I went to the door and opened it. "What is wrong with you? Why are you banging the door as if someone might have died?" I asked Barbas as I saw his face."My Lord, you gave me a task. I have seen someone. One of the reapers Azrael has. He was peeking through windows. Then he jumped in and I heard her screaming loudly. As soon as I saw this, I came here to inform you." He said and I gritted my teeth."What the hell? And you just left her with him all alone?" I asked him and he shook his head."No, my Lord. I left her with a few demons to defend her. But I don't think they can handle him longer. We need to hurry." He replied and I pushed my wings out. I flew high up and in a few sec
LUCIFER'S POV:-"My wife was learning a way to become an immortal. But the witch was too old to teach her everything in time. But my wife was able to learn a few tricks. One night, she saw that reaper in the room of that old witch. She tried to stop him but he did not stop. She then casted a spell so the reaper could get seduced. To grant her what she wanted, he asked my wife to sleep with her. And she slept with him." The man started telling us the story. I gritted my teeth while Azrael was shocked hearing the truth."I never knew that I could convince a baby with a reaper. I tried to convince my husband but he knew that the baby was not his. The baby developed in one month. I just thought I was getting fat. It was not unusual as I was learning witchcraft. When I aborted it, it was actually alive. I tried to kill her many times but she survived." The woman spoke with the bitterness of hatred in her tone.
EVE'S POV:-"No! That is impossible. You are lying to save yourself. He never raised his voice at me. How can he kill me? I remember nothing. I was standing in front of him. He accepted me as his wife." I yelled at the death reaper who was knelt down in that room. I remembered him. He was the one who had claimed to be my father. I had seen him the very day I was bought."I am not lying. Nobody knows what happened to you. But I saw everything with my own eyes. Every single torture you went through. In the end, I had to rip your stubborn soul out of your body. You were bearing all that with a smile on your face. Complimenting him like a fool." He yelled at me and I gritted my teeth."You are lying. My Adrian can never hurt me. You are a liar. You are the only curse I had since I was born. If it was not for your selfish ass, I would not have been born. But after everything, you took away the
