1018 My Beautiful Monster Part 119

SUMIRE/NORAH

After they got back together in their first life, she was still cautious and didn't blindly believe everything he said. But, it didn't take long before she was persuaded that he truly changed and what happened with Miss Bennet was truly a one off thing. She has never felt this level of unease in their relationship before.

Does Lex truly still love her? Just as she was having those doubts, Lucifer bit her neck causing several moans to escape her lips.

"I haven't fed in five days, Norah and being so close to you does things to me." Lucifer mumbled.

"Right." Sumire should be relieved that he didn't go to another woman during their fight. 

But, while she felt relieved. A part of her whispered that she would probably be fine if he drank from another person. It was a silly voice, she couldn't even stand seeing another woman naked beside Lex, let alone him drinking from them.

For the next few minutes neither of them exchange any words, as Lucifer continued to feed from her. 

"I'll introduce you to Makino eventually. You'll understand when you see her." Lucifer said, pulling away.

'I probably won't be around soon.' Sumire however didn't say it. She could tell from the dark circles in his eyes that he hadn't slept since their argument.

"Are we sharing a bed tonight?"

"Yes."

"And you'll wake up beside me?" Sumire asked cautiously.

"I apologize. I didn't realize you wanted to."

 

Sumire cuts him off by wrapping her arms around his neck. "My love." She said softly. "I know it's hard for you, but will we talk now? There is something I need to discuss with you."

Lucifer clearly looked uncomfortable but eventually nodded and she pulled away and led him over to the couch. It takes a few minutes before either of them speaks. Lucifer suddenly had her positioned on his lap.

"L-Lex, I don't think we should be close when we have this conversation."

Lucifer shakes his head. "No matter what you tell me, I will not be angry."

He definitely will be. Sumire exhales deeply before she explains from the beginning. How in her second life, she started to get dreams regarding Lennon. How in their third life she found him and he lost his memories, so she pretended to be his wife. Since he was very distrustful. Lucifer still didn't say anything. But, after she spoke about Lennon being the foreign prince. His expression hardened.

"Lennon was Lo?"

Sumire bit her bottom lip before nodding.

"The very same Lo who you were going to take as your second husband, the one whose bed I had no choice to send you to for an alliance?" Lucifer questioned.

She could only nod. It wasn't as bad as earlier but his shadows were thrashing around them with such violence, that lead to a cut on her cheek. Upon noticing, he brushed his fingers across the wound horrified.

Sumire shakes her head. "It's okay."

"I-I just, I was surprised love because I remember how much you liked Lo."

"It's true I did like him, maybe I would have grown to actually love him if he didn't die before the wedding."

Lucifer cringed. "If that was really Lennon, then he changed."

Sumire nodded. "I was thinking if we could find him, maybe we can find a way to get rid of your curse. We were close to finding a solution in the fifth life. Oh, he was the mercenary-"

"-that you ended up seeking shelter from, and marrying?"

"Uh, right. But you know that marriage was because it would have been weird for me to stay with him-"

Lucifer places his fingers on her lips, silencing her. "I am upset, but if that truly was him then he changed for the better."

"So right, we should find him."

"If you have her memories, you should know. I was attacked not too long ago, the one who inflicted those wounds on me was Lennon."

At Lucifer's words, her eyes widened, surprised. "Wasn't it Aki?"

Lennon wouldn't. He wouldn't do that.

"It was Aki, but it was also Lennon. It seems Lennon's soul is in Aki's body."

Her face drained of all colour and she was trembling badly. "He wouldn't, he would never-"

Lucifer frowned. "Do you really trust him that much? I know he changed, but don't you remember what he did to you?"

"It's not like I had forgotten. That's why I was really cautious when I found him in our third lives. However, in the fourth. He really was different."

He was kinder, and treated her well. He laughed more and seemed happier. 

"You fell for him."

Sumire sighs deeply as she turns to face him and cupped his face. "No you fool, he was kind and yes maybe I could have loved him. But, don't you see? It never happened." She trailed off. "I told you that I met Lennon in the sixth life, but only once. Because, he let me go."

Lucifer blinked, surprised at her words. "He let you go?"

Sumire nodded. "He told me that it's enough now and that he will set me free. That he has already experienced enough kindness and love from me. So after he slept with me once, he never appeared before me again. It's true Yi's presence made it difficult for him to get close, but he didn't even appear from a distance when he could have."

She thought this would make Lucifer happy but instead he scowled. "So you really slept with him, willingly?"

Uh, why does this situation keep getting worse? Lucifer moved her away from his lap gently, but it felt like he roughly shoved her. 

He walked over to the window, deep in thought.

"Lex?"

"You loved him, you just don't want to say anything to upset me further. You willingly slept with him in the fourth life after all. You could have refused that deal but-"

Sumire cut him off as she walked over and pinned him to the ground. "Love, if you keep accusing me. I'll have no choice but to punish you slowly."
