Chapter 1020 My Beautiful Monster Part 121

LUCIFER

"Technically, Norah is dead already." Jacks pointed out.

Lucifer glared and Jacks coughed. "I think she will be fine. Sumire-chan did survive getting her heart ripped out, if that didn't kill her then her body is clearly sturdier than most."

She only survived that because he used his life force on her, but Jacks doesn't know that.

His thoughts break off seeing Lyra exit the room.

"How is she? Is it almost done?"

Lyra clicked her tongue annoyed. "Alex, you know it's only been a few hours. Even though modern day technology helps speed up the delivery. We don't have the proper equipment here-"

"Should I ask Toh to get the equipment? Will that make it better?" Lucifer asked trying to peek over Lyra's shoulder. But, the girl was doing a good job blocking her view.

'Calm down my love.'

Hearing Norah's voice in his head he froze.

He hears her giggle. 'I will be fine, you know? I can hear you pacing back and forth like a mother hen. Lex, you don't have to be so anxious.'

'Your in pain, it hurts doesn't it?'

She doesn't reply right away and Lucifer understands why since he hears her scream loudly.

Lyra exhaled deeply. "I had Norah speak to you to calm you down. Alex, really don't be difficult."

"Can't I go inside? I should be there for her."

At those words Lyra shakes her head. "If you go in there, Norah will be distracted and focus on trying to calm you down. You have to let her do this Alex."

".."

"Also," Lyra slips a note in his palm. "-I heard you two fought. So, maybe you should think of a way to gain her forgiveness." With those words said Lyra re-entered the room.

Lucifer turned to the note in his hands. It looked short but when he opened it, it was quite long.

To my love, Lex.

I have to say as much as you anger me. I have enjoyed a perfect view of your charms through the window of the tower. Even when you're scowling, it makes my heart beat. I want nothing more than to kiss you.

I am writing this letter to tell you, that no matter what you hear from me when we speak again. I will always love you. Yes, I shared a bond with Lennon when he was Lo. Yes, I enjoyed his company, and yes I could have loved him. But, in the end that didn't happen. I think even if the accident didn't happen, I wouldn't have been able to go through with the wedding. When he gave me the engagement ring, I felt happy but I also felt the weight behind it. It didn't seem right, to have a second husband, even if the laws in that life allowed it.

I knew Lo intended to propose before he did it, and I wanted to discuss it with you. Do you remember that day I came into your office late? But you were too busy, and clearly in a bad mood. You didn't want to talk to me because you quote 'saw me making out with Lo like my life depended on it.' Had I told you, that kiss was rather one sided. You probably wouldn't have believed me.

You were so convinced that I had fallen in love with him, and perhaps you saw something I couldn't. However, that wasn't the case. It was for you, I knew if I declined Prince Lo's advances. You would have been put in a difficult situation. Your circumstances after the first life were awful, and the fourth one was the worst. While I began to care for Lo, the only reason I managed to do what I did was you. I was thinking about our future together.

I made a deal with him after he proposed to me. 'I will accept, however. I want us to live separately, find a place for me and Lex in your Kingdom. I will make appearances as your wife, but I want to live with Lex.'

Lucifer couldn't read the letter further, without clenching his fist due to the guilt. 'I really acted like a jerk back then. I couldn't accept it, even though I was the one who sent her to that man's bed.'

"You know, I have to say your chances to obtain her love this lifetime are far higher than the rest." Jacks suddenly said.

"What makes you say so?"

Jacks sighs. "If you can't figure it out, I won't say."

Lucifer glares at him but Jacks simply shrugged. "It's not like she hated you ever. She seemed more focused on killing Jian Hiriji."

Indeed, even before he kidnapped her. Sumire's 'attacks' focused on Jian Hijiri's bases, rather than his. At first he thought it was a coincidence but with Jacks saying this-

"Does she truly hate him that much?"

Jacks paused. "The reason though, isn't because he killed her parents or Tsueno Mamoru's accident. It's-"

"I know." Lucifer said bitterly.

How can he not? The reason Sumire resents Jian Hiriji so much is because of Terashima. When he discovered Sumire's resentment, naturally he investigated the reason for it. While years have passed since he teamed up with Jian Hiriji. There are still many things he didn't know about the man, including a certain time frame where he cut off contact.

So, this is what he was doing then, causing hell for Terashima. Jian probably targeted Terashima knowing how precious he is to Sumire. The one who came up with the plan to break Nagawa and Sumire up was also Jian. He simply went along with it.

'I should have questioned his methods more, but I didn't. Because, I couldn't stand Nagawa being with Sumire for a second longer.'

Jian targeted Sumire's mental state knowing how fragile it is. He truly is terrifying. No matter how many times Jian attacked Sumire in secret over the years, she only truly broke down after Tsueno's incident. At least on the surface, now he understands the reason for her bloodlust the first time he appeared before her in star town. It's because, she never stopped looking for Akishima, the one who caused her beloved pain.
