Chapter 2
Venomia came strutting over, hips swaying like she owned the world.
Marcus looked at me like I was roadkill: “Lucifer never gave two shits about you. Now you’ve trashed his ride? Kiss your relationship goodbye.”
I didn’t say a word. Just watched that bastard walking toward me.
Really wanted to hear how he’d spin this “busy” bullshit.
Venomia broke the silence first.
Pointed at me like I was dirt: “What’s your problem, Ophelia? Can’t handle that Lucifer doesn’t want you anymore?”
“How pathetic. Don’t worry-I’m feeling generous. My boyfriend might throw you a bone next time.”
I stared straight at Lucifer, every word sharp as glass:
“Boyfriend?”
Finally, the silent prince moved. Grabbed my arm, voice dropping low:
“Don’t humiliate her. This interview means everything to her.”
My chest caved in.
Everything to her? What about me?
I grabbed his shirt, my voice breaking: “And what about me?
Lucifer hesitated-just for a second-then traced his finger across my palm like old times.
His voice went soft: “Ophelia… just wait till next time, okay?”
“But you promised.”
I stared him down, stubborn as hell.
His face went cold as winter.
He peeled my fingers off him one by one, stepped back: “Be a good girl. Don’t make a scene.”
Ignored my eyes filling up and took Venomia’s hand toward the elevator.

But his little princess wasn’t done playing.
She broke free, spun around, kept pushing:
“Ophelia, since we’re colleagues-get on your fucking knees and apologize. Say you’re worthless trash who’ll always be my stepping stone, and maybe I’ll forget about the car.”
I wiped my nose, looked at Lucifer: “And you?”
“You think I should grovel too?”
Seeing me about to cry, he wavered. Almost spoke,
Then Venomia tugged his sleeve like a spoiled brat.
His words changed: “You fucked up this time. Just apologizend I’ll handle the rest.”
Looking at his righteous face made me sick.
My chest felt like it had been shredded by claws.
I grabbed my other shoe and slammed it into his window.
“You stood me up, played her boyfriend, and somehow I’m the villain?”
“What exactly did I do wrong?”
Lucifer rubbed his temples like I was giving him a headache.
“Venomia’s not like you. She’s new, no connections, pulling all-nighters just to survive. She needs this break. You’re senior-can’t you just back off?”
I thought I was losing my mind.
But the pain was real as hell.
Every word dripped with concern for her. But we’d all been through the same shit.
I’d pulled countless all-nighters writing pieces just to spend time with him. Multiple nights in a row was nothing.
He knew. He fucking knew. But never once did he worry about me.
I used to think he was just work-obsessed, couldn’t see the details.
Now I knew better-he wasn’t blind.
He just gave all his tenderness to someone else.

But he’d forgotten one thing: Venomia and I started the same year.
She had an uncle who was a producer. Fucking hilarious – Lucifer treating the real princess like she was slumming it.
I was about to set his ass straight when the director walked by, heard the noise:
“What’s this? My two star reporters brawling at the front door?”
Then he spotted Lucifer and his whole attitude flipped: “Mr. Sinclair! You’re here! Please, come inside!”
Venomia lit up like Christmas, pointing at me: “Director! Ophelia went psycho because Lucifer wouldn’t see her-she destroyed his car!”
“Lucifer’s my boyfriend and this crazy bitch is attacking him”
