Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 36

Lucifer sent the girls home in his car and ordered another one from his office. He decided to not join them and to wait inside the cafe instead. He didn’t want things to go different, besides he wanted to give August some emotional space for what he was going to do to her tonight was going to take a toll on her. He had been waiting for this time to come for a long time. He could no longer resist at this point.

The girls were seated in the back as the car swiftly drove down the street. For the first ten minutes or so, there was absolute silence in the car. Neither of them uttered a syllable. Both of them were frightened. Alexa at last spoke up and said,

“I wonder why Master had to send us home in the car. We could’ve taken a cab.” August didn’t respond. She was too scared to even think about it. Alexa put her hand on August’s pale and cold hand and apologized.

“I’m really sorry this happened. I didn’t realize that Master would be there too.” August struggled to speak but gave her a soft smile and told her that it was okay. But she knew it wasn’t going to be okay. She was terrified. She knew that she would have to face terrible consequences later on. Lucifer liked to keep people in suspense. He liked seeing fear in their eyes, especially in her eyes, and she knew that.

The car finally came to a halt in front of the mansion. They were home. Both of them got out of the car and walked to the door. They rang the bell. The French doors were opened, revealing Ela blankly staring at them.

“You guys have finally arrived”, she said in a cold tone. The girls knew she was mad. “I thought you went shopping only for the necessities?“, she asked crossing her arms. She had no emotion on her face, just an expressionless look.

Alexa and August looked at each other for support because they were clueless about what to say.

“We’re really sorry. The store was pretty crow-”

“Don’t give me that excuse, Alexa. Did the busy store delay you or did buying that thing did?” Her eyes pointed to the bag of donuts in August’s hand.

August gulped and looked down, muttering an apology. She knew stopping by the cafe could get her in trouble and that’s exactly what happened.

“Ela, it wasn’t her fault. I insisted on going to the cafe. She didn’t even want to go”, replied Alexa politely. Ela didn’t say anything else and excused August. She slightly nodded her head and went off.

Ela sighed and excused Alexa as well. She was then about to get back to her work when she looked over the window and saw Lucifer’s black Mercedes. She frowned, thinking Lucifer might have come home. But the vehicle was parked and he wasn’t in it. She didn’t give it too much thought and closed the window.

She knew Lucifer’s timing and that it was too early for him to come home. But no one used that car except him. He has been using it every day since he bought it and would never send it back home empty...

Suddenly, a thought struck her and her eyes widened. Her palms started to sweat.

“I’ll be damned if it is what I think it is!”

She rushed towards Alexa and spun her around holding her arm.
