Chapter 989 My Beautiful Monster Part 90

LUCIFER

Lucifer placed his hand on his forehead. This was giving him a headache. How can things become such a mess in a short amount of time? He doesn't see any of the other leaders factions with this problem. Maybe he ought to hire more people who deal with background work instead. It would certainly help out when he is too busy.

Hearing a knock on the door he turned to see his wife peeking her head. His hardened features softened and he motions her over. Sumire opens the door and pushes a tray of tea, and snacks most-likely made by her on the top. 

"My heart." Lucifer said softly. "You didn't have to."

"Mm, but I wanted to talk to you for a bit."

Sensing her serious tone Lucifer frowned. Did someone say something to her again? 'I thought Sumire staying with me was for the best. She could get a break from hearing all the gossip about her, but it seems to be the same no matter where she goes.'

He doesn't understand why such negativity follows her when she is such a lovely person.

Lucifer waited for her to speak, watching her expression carefully. But even then, he wasn't prepared for the words that left her lips.

"You've been seeing your side piece during your outings?"

Despite Sumire not mentioning a name, only one person occupied the title as his official source and mistress.

Lucifer frowned. "Who told you that?"

"Oh I don't know, who could it be?Everyone seems to know your mistress is back except me."

"She wanted to come here. But I said no."

It wasn't easy persuading Makino. But when he got her a room at one of the love hotel chains, she seemed satisfied. Lucifer sighs deeply. A woman like that only cares about one thing after all.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"Sumire-"

"No, how can we have a wedding ceremony in a few days if you're sneaking around with your mistress?" Sumire snapped.

Right, they discussed it the following morning after she told him about her nightmares. The wedding ceremony, they can no longer delay it. It's better to hold it sooner rather than later.

"What do you want me to do then?" Lucifer asked.

He will do anything to make sure this misunderstandimg fades.

"Let me meet her. No, let me go to your office when you see her and let's see how you two interact."

"She doesn't go to the office I've been meeting her elsewhere." Lucifer chose his words carefully.

He doesn't know how Sumire found out about Makino when he gave strict instructions to everyone in the manor not to mention her. Lucifer paused as an image of a certain blonde haired woman flashed through his head.

That damned woman again, no doubt it was her. Only she would disobey his rules repeatedly. He thought Sumire's punishment was enough to scare her away, but that seems to not be the case. 

Seeing Sumire looking at him intently, Lucifer brushes his lips against her neck and bit her without warning. He could use words to explain, but with her actions have always spoken louder. It isn't long before Sumire is a withering, moaning mess in his arms. 

"Lu-Lucifer." Sumire stammered.

Lucifer raised his face from her neck. "Do you really doubt me my heart, after everything?"

Sumire bit her lip. "I don't want to. But you told me you would tell me everything properly, and yet I am always the last one to find out."

Lucifer gently brushes his lips against hers and Sumire kisses him deeply. 

"Your mine Lucifer. Please don't forget that."

His gaze softens. "I won't." He trails off. "Will you tell me who told you?"

Sumire frowned and buried her face in his chest. Well, so much for answering that question. It's fine if she doesn't want to talk about it. He kisses her forehead and eyelids softly as he ran his hands down her back and thighs.

A content sigh escaped Sumire's lips before she looked around. Seeing the stacks of paperwork, Sumire frowned. "Why didn't you call for me?"

"Wife you were resting-"

Sumire shakes her head and scrambled off his lap as she pulled up another chair. "You said before that I can help you with this, so please let me."

"Very well, but-" Lucifer pulled the girl back onto his lap. "Your chair is here."

Sumire blinked and laughed softly. "Mmm, okay." 

She seems happier than earlier, but it is still too soon for him to assume that everything is okay. The next few minutes they work intently, Sumire occasionally stopping to ask some questions. He was more than happy to answer, even though he should be more cautious. He shouldn't give away too much information.

Seeing Sumire occasionally leaning against him. Lucifer couldn't focus on his work.

Sumire tilted her head. "Husband, you're distracted."

"You smell very nice wife, and you're soft."

Sumire laughed. "Compliments aside, your organisation is a mess." She trails off. "Don't worry, you have me now. I will sort this all out for you."

Lucifer knew he should stop her from fixing everything like she said. Because they are on opposing sides. But he was far too occupied watching her.

'I really am in trouble.'

TOKYO

After having that conversation with Sumire, the last thing he wanted to do was meet with Makino. But, Makino was persistently messaging and calling. Sumire was already jumpy and cautious after the talk, so when he kept ignoring the calls, she became more paranoid. It was hard to appease her and Lucifer knew even when he returned he would have to spend the evening making it up to her. 

The doors flung open and Makino steps out wearing a rather low cut shirt, exposing her breasts. Alongside a pair of flimsy undergarments that would be easy to fling off. Seeing him, a mischievous glint flashes through her eyes as she grabbed hold of his arm.

"There you are, everything is ready."

The moment Lucifer stepped into the room, he immediately smelled the heavy scent of aphrodisiac. Spotted the red velvet sheets, and the dimly lit room. 

A perfect 'romantic' atmosphere. Lucifer exhaled deeply. He should have talked to her beforehand. Hopefully she doesn't cause too much of a fuss.
