Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 247 - Two Hundred And Fourty-Seven: He’s Been Poisoned.

The privilege that came with Marilyn being back from death, was that Lucifer eased up on a lot of things like releasing Jason from the dungeon, but he hadn’t permitted Marilyn to go and see him.

He still hasn’t let her leave his sight, and he has made sure everything was at her disposal including bathing her himself to which left Marilyn speechless, but not at his actions but to what extent he went not to let her die.

She didn’t want to talk about what happened yet, but then it was obvious to Narika and Adrik that she wasn’t happy that she’s alive. The news of her children still missing made her depressed that not a word Lucifer was telling her right now, was she hearing.

"Marilyn!" Lucifer called, more loudly this time, that made her jump from where she sat, to look at him before he took in a deep breath before coming to rub her arms lovingly.

"I will find our girls, I would..." He tried assuring her that he’s on the move doing that, but that was a lie. She could see him through him. That’s the benefit of living with him for months to know exactly everything about him.

"When exactly do you intend to do that, because right now you are lying to me." She cut into his words, and if this was the formal Lucifer, he would have put on a fight for her, cutting his words shut and trying to shade him black.

But he’s changed, so he ought to do as he says or else he doesn’t know what she’s willing to do to end her life a second time. She was smart, seeing that he has decided to be her slave as long as she’s okay, the first thing she did was request that he release Jason and treat him like a guest.

"You need to rest, I have work to do." Lucifer ignored her question, and tried helping her to the bed, but she pushed his hands off her making his anger that he was trying so hard to control try to let out on her.

"You should have let me die, that was better than bringing me here again into this prison." She said bitterly, through gritted teeth." It doesn’t matter what charade you put on for me to believe that you are a better man, I would never forgive you, Lucifer. Not ever!"

"As much as you wanted to die, not to burst your bubbles or anything, Marilyn. You weren’t dead, my blood flows through your veins so you can say you were in a coma, so i would suggest you stop bitching about what has happened, and rest." Lucifer let out those hurtful words that made Marilyn, understand that he would never change. He’s still the same, a devil!

She yanked the blanket from his hand, before lying down on the bed and covering herself with it, while cleaning the tears that were falling on her face.

Watching her this way hurt Lucifer, this wasn’t what he was planning when he woked her up. His aims was to right his wrongs with her, but then sometimes she can be really annoying.

"Babe." He called, coming to sit beside her on the bed, his hand raised up to touch her.

"Don’t touch me!" She snapped, making his hand still in the air, as he obeyed her command. Anything she wants as long as she’s here with him, that’s all that matters.

"I’m sorry for the pains i caused you Marilyn, but i can never go back to change the hands of the clock because i love you. I know my ways of proving that I care about you isn’t exactly all good, but I’m not a human, my love. I’m Lucifer, and this is the first time I’m feeling this way so I’m sorry if i can be overbearing sometimes, but i would always do anything just to keep you by myself."

Lucifer confessed, looking at her trying so hard to zone out of space so that she wouldn’t be hearing what he’s saying.

"I love you, Marilyn. I will try to be a better man for you, but firstly i have things to sort out to give you the kind of life you want."He added, but she scoffed at his words, as if she ever asked for any of this.

"I want nothing from you but my freedom, I don’t belong here with you." She said lastly, before standing up to leave for the bathroom while Lucifer watched her, unable to do anything about her attitude.

But that’s another problem to be solved another time, since she wants freedom that much he would have to do better at defeating Rowan to make earth a better place for her to be.

He left the room with that in mind to see Oregon waiting for him outside." What’s the plan?" Oregon asked.

"The plan is to kill Rowan, I don’t care whatever order the crystal palace has to do with him but he’s a dead man." Lucifer said, arriving at the sparring room where Ares was waiting for him, but halfway to enter, Oregon stopped him. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Gabriel was here." Oregon said, his words stopped Lucifer from entering the room where Ares was training.

"How?" Lucifer asked, looking inside to see Narima sitting by the sidelines just to keep an eye on her son. Which made him nearly roll his eyes, had it not been that she’s the chosen descendant of Baram, who gave him his grandson. He would have to admit that she’s nothing but a weak ass human.

"Micheal has plans to kill you, after getting rid of Rowan he decided that the best way to end all these is to kill you. Gabriel came to warn us."

"As if he would actually care if he does that," Lucifer smirked, refusing to believe what Gabriel said." I don’t believe him, Oregon.``

"There’s no way Gabriel would come down here all for nothing."Oregon tried changing his perception about Gabriel, but it was hard.

"No he didn’t, he came here to confirm that Marilyn is dead, which am not surprised if they are already on their way with the Lawmakers to strike me down for using dark magic." He laughed crazily." But you know what, I don’t care. I don’t fucking care if the Overruler comes down here himself, because i would make sure nobody hurts Marilyn. Now if you will excuse me, I have training to do.``

Lucifer said lastly before leaving the flabbergasted Oregon, who saw that he has an aim with what he’s doing. He has the mindset that Marilyn would see the changes in him, which was him trying to kill Rowan to offer her a better life.

But he has forgotten that he’s the cause of this, and judging from his attitude from coming from the room. He noticed that there’s a problem between the both of them, but that’s none of his business because he disappeared back to his palace to get his soldiers ready for war.

Lucifer watched Ares spar off with his trainer that was helping him control his powers, from hurting others he loved but Lucifer saw that as nothing but stupidity.

"You are training him like this is not an ancient demon who he’s going to battle one, you forget that if he fails to kill him that Rowan would kill him without blinking an eye." Lucifer spat, making Ares’ trainer look at him in confusion.

"I apologize, My lord but he’s a kid and..."

Hearing this motherfucker emphasizing on Ares being a kid made him annoyed, coupled with the earlier drama with Marilyn made him appear in front of him before he knew it, and gave him one blow to reset his brain.

"What the fuck?!" Narika said, from where she was from watching what was happening.

Hearing her finally talk, Lucifer turned to face her,"Continue training him with the thoughts that he’s a kid, and watch your precious son die in front of you. He’s a demon, Narika, not you weak pathetic human." He roared.

His words hurt Narika deeply, the war might be important but he’s forgotten one important thing here, which is him being the cause of all these.

If he hasn’t ratted Rowan out to the crystal palace for a crime that the both of them committed, Rowan wouldn’t be going all psycho on everyone and now he’s trying to use his son to cleanse his mistake.

"Mom, I’m fine." Ares had to speak up when he read her mind to see that her words, would cause problems which made Lucifer smile.

"See, even Ares knows what he’s up against, so stop trying to make this about you and your son, and face the truth, Narika. This is war, people are going to die but it’s definitely not coming from our side." Lucifer said and tried speaking more, but the door was pushed open and Raj rushed in carrying bad news.

"Erin, he’s foaming at his mouth.I think he has been poisoned."
