Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: 118

"Being there isn't the same as belonging there." -Rigel J. Dawson.

***********************

Heaven waited for her father, who insisted he would go in her place, ignoring her wishes completely. She found out that her grandmother had already offered herself in exchange, but her grandfather only wanted her. So Heaven hoped he wouldn't accept her father's offer.

Her grandmother started to pack her clothes. "What are you doing?" Heaven asked.

"If you are going, then I am coming with you. Your grandfather doesn't want Lucian."

"No! You need to stay. Father and mother will be sad once I leave so you need to stay with them."

"They have each other. I am not letting you go alone." She said with finality.

"I don't think Lothaire will allow you to come with me."

She stopped packing and turned to her. "Lothaire didn't accept an exchange, but he told me I could come to him if I wanted too."

"That is why you shouldn't. He will be happy to have more of us joining him."

"Heaven. We will go there but we will never belong there. We have to make him realize that." She said.

It wasn't a bad strategy. Following her grandfather to his kingdoms but not following his footsteps. Wouldn't he tire eventually and let her go if she didn't become the person he wanted her to be? She would have to keep her mind strong.

Just like her grandmother suspected, Lothaire didn't accept her father's offer. Now it was time for her and her grandmother to leave. Her mother was still not convinced, but Heaven used the mate excuse.

"Would you not do the same for father?" She asked. "I don't want to lose Zamiel or any of you."

Her mother understood her reasons, but she just had a hard time accepting them.

While her mother struggled to accept her decision, Heaven was still confused by how easily Zamiel let her go. She shouldn't be. All of them should have realized sooner that there was no way out. The devil could and would do whatever he wanted.

Zamiel watched her in silence while she packed. She tried to focus on the task and not think of anything else, otherwise, she would end up crying.

No! She wouldn't think of how the separation would feel for all of them. She would just go and leave her emotions behind.

Once she was done packing, she turned to Zamiel. She dreaded this moment, but she would have to say goodbye. She couldn't avoid him. Besides, he had been supportive, so she owed to thank him as well.

Don't cry Heaven!

She smiled at him. "I guess it is time to leave." She said, trying to sound as optimistic as possible.

She nodded.

It wasn't easy to say goodbye to everyone, especially her mother, but Heaven promised to see her again. She didn't know how that would happen, but she knew it would.

Her grandmother had already made up her mind to follow her. "We will be back." She said determined. She didn't know what her grandmother had in mind, but she made her parents calm down a bit.

If there was anyone who could have a plan without Lothaire knowing, then it was Zamiel and her grandmother. She made sure that Zamiel wouldn't get himself hurt, but her grandmother worried her.

Lothaire didn't come to escort them. He had told her that once she was ready, a portal would open in her garden, and she just had to walk through it.

Heaven and her grandmother walked outside to her garden, and soon after, a portal opened. This proved that her grandfather knew their every step. Her grandmother took her hand and they slowly but steadily walked inside.

It went by fast. It was almost as if someone pushed them from behind, causing them to stumble forward, and suddenly they were somewhere else.

Heaven looked around. It felt like she was inside a castle, but with the strangest interior. Everything was dark. Mostly black, red or grey. The lights were dim, casting shadows everywhere and giving a mysterious feeling.

It was quiet until the clicking sound of footsteps echoed in silence. Heaven and Irene turned to where the sound came from.

It was her grandfather. Lucifer. The devil. He appeared from the shadows with an amused smile on his face.

"Welcome." He said.
