Chapter 22

*3 months later*

Zero's POV

"Listen Zero-" Lucifer said before sitting down on the sofa across from me in his office. "-I have something to tell you" He said.

"I know what that is." I said, already knowing what he wants.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Ho.. You know? Than tell me" He said.

"You love me." I said the obvious.

"Ho god! How did you know?!" He said-yelled with a mocking tone to his voice.

"That's not it?" I asked, curious of his real confession.

"Of course not.. Well.. Maybe partly but that's not the issue right now." He said.

"Than?" I asked before raising an eyebrow and crossing my arms in my chest.

"I found your mother-" He said. Shock filled my expression. "-But there is a little problem" He said.

"And that is?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I eh.. How should I say this?...."

"Just say it."

"Your mother is dead-"

"WHAT?!" I interrupted him. My arms loosened and fell on the sofa, clenched fists in anger.

"Zero, let me finish" I nod to his words before crossing my legs this time. One on the other.

"But she is still alive." He completed his words.

"W-what do you mean?"

"She is like you and I."

"You mean.. immortal?" And he nods with a sad expression on his face.

"How is that possible? Didn't you say she is a human?" I asked.

"Well.. when we met she said she was a human-"

"Couldn't you know? I mean.. you are the Devil" I interrupted.

"That's what drawn me to her even more. I couldn't read her mind nor my 'magic' worked on her" He said.

"That's why you fell in love with her? Because she was 'special'?" I asked.

"That's one of the reasons."

"What are the other reasons?" I asked.

"Well.. It's hard to explain. Somehow ,deep inside me, I knew that she wasn't human at least half of her soul but she ,somehow, succeeded to control me and my desire for her and when I woke from her spell you were already born and couldn't do anything but try to kill you." He said.

"So.. Did you do it?" I asked.

"That's a stupid question." He said, raising an eyebrow and giving me the are-kidding-me look.

"What???" I asked.

"You are here aren't you? Alive." He said.

"Ho.. Ok, got it. So you didn't kill me."

He sighed and shook his head in annoyance.

"I couldn't. Not because you were her child but because you were mine. I can't kill my own flesh and blood." He said but I could see in his eyes that there is something else to this story but I'll let it slide.

"Ok. Continue" He nods.

"Well, your mother didn't know that I 'woke up' from her spell because she expected it to be at least for more than 8 years but she got it wrong. She forgot one little detail."

"You are the Devil" And he nods with a knowing smirk.

"That's right. I woke up when you were about five years old."

"You woke up three years earlier?" He nods then sadness filled his eyes as he had a distant look as if he remembers what happened back then like it was yesterday.

"Then I heard her talking to you in your room. Well.. more like telling you her plans...." He hesitated to continue but I pressured him.

"What plans? What did she want?" But he didn't answer. "Lucifer! Tell me!" I said-yelled desperate to know more about that bitch.

"Sorry son but it is too soon for you to know... Anyways.. When I overheard her I didn't know what to do. I mean.. With the spell or without it I still loved her but she betrayed me and used me and I can't forgive her but I started to hate her. I couldn't stand her anymore so I took you, in the middle of the night, to my own home."

"Which is Hell?" I asked and he nods in response.

"Three years passed, you already got used to your new home but on your 8th birthday she found us and claimed to know why I did what I did."

"What did you do?"

"I froze her. I thought that as a human she would be stuck in the iceberg for at least ten years, when you turn eighteen, but when I saw her standing in the door way to your room, trying to kill you, you.. the small, cute and clueless you, bought the words that she is your mother."

"She did something, didn't she?" I asked as anger starting to show on my face and the same with Lucifer who sat on the sofa with his nails digging into his skin from how strong he clenched his fists.

He nods then took a deep breath.

"Do you remember when you went back in time and met your young self?" He asked and I nod, remembering exactly what happened.

"That's exactly what happened. When you went to hug her she stabbed you but I was too late. You already died when I woke up and she took your heart with her. I didn't know what was the purpose of her doing this but now I know."

"To make herself immortal." I stated the obvious and he nods. "But why the age eighteen? Why not earlier or later?" I asked, remembering the small detail he mentioned.

"Because by then you would have taken control over Hell I would have already retired and one more reason, you and your heart would have been already grown and matured so she can't use your heart when it has become stronger than her but now she has it and I have a really bad feeling about it especially since you have become this strong." He said before sighing and resting his head on the pillows behind him.

"So you are saying that my ripped heart and I still has a connection to each other?" I asked.

He nods and said, "Yes of course. It is your heart after all."

Something clicked inside. Seeing him in such sorrow and sadness.. I couldn't stand it.

I stand up and go over him.

I don't know what happened to me back then. Something told me that I should do this. Something told me to calm him down before he kills somebody. Something or someone deep deep inside my mind told me that I love him more than a father but I didn't believe it... not yet.

I sit down on his lap and his head jolts up in shock.

I trap his face between my hands and kiss him, slow and steady until he started to add more pressure and drawing me in closer to his chest and to the heated kiss. His arms slide around my body and he pressed me even harder to his chest before slapping one of my chick-butts. I yelp in surprise and he took that moment to slip in his tongue and explore every inch of it.

He grabbed me hair and pulled me back, breathing hard.

And the next thing I know is, that he was above me, sucking one my nipples and me, moaning in pleasure.
