CHAPTER 1 Death being more of a pleasure than being in the demon presence.

"Why are you still here?" Came that deep voice across the dungeon?

Completely paralyzed as his shadow comes close, he looks around for help and hears screams.

"You had your chance to leave, and now it is too late." The whisper sends shivers down his spine.

Dominique opened his eyes and saw his body covered with wires, tubes, and straps. Nausea swirls around his stomach, irritating him to frustration.

His eyes slam shut as the left side of his head begins to palpitate with excruciating pain. Panic fills his body, and his breathing accelerates. Loud inhales and exhales seem to fill his lungs with anything but air.

The anticipation of Death is what Dominque feared most; never would he have imagined he would be staring Death in its eyes; through his swollen eyes, all he could see was a tall, dark figure as it emerged into the darkness, "Please stop," he pleaded.

'Welcome to Dark honor, where Death is more pleasant than being in the presence of Lucifer.'

Joshua and Tiffany grew up in a dangerous neighborhood because their dad 'Lucifer,' a well-known kingpin, wanted his kids to be street-smart.

Lucifer was a wealthy drug lord. Lucifer wanted Joshua and Tiffany to grow their independence.

Lucifer traveled a lot, so his kids' safest place, was home, where they had grown up.

Joshua and Tiffany Grew up close, protective over one another.

Being Lucifer's kids, many neighbors feared for their kids to be friends with Joshua and Tiffany.

Tiffany had a fantastic personality, and Joshua was easy to socialize with.

They were born and raised in Beacon Valley Mitchell's plain, where drugs and guns were all around them; people came from prison like it was a second place they called home and often visited.

When Tiffany finished school, she joined the army for two years, Tiffany wanted to be a sniper, and Joshua, well, was selfish and always had this know-it attitude; he wanted to be like his dad.

But he was forced to join the army like his sister.

After returning home, they found out they had a little brother.

His name was Rowan; he was born with cerebral palsy.

That smile reminded everyone of the innocence of a child, how perfect they are, and how carefree they could be.

When Lucifer was around, he had his guys wait by a black SUV armed; no one would dare to double-cross him since most of the guys in the neighborhood work for him.

(About Lucifer Morningstar)

Lucifer served several years in prison, where he took the number twenty-seven as a killer.

He had to kill a warden and a cellmate to get that number.

He was only sixteen years old when given this order by The twenty-nine.

Lucifer stabbed the warden multiple times.

He then stepped on the knife and slid it across the floor under the bunk.

The prison wardens pretended to be patting him down and moved along when they did not find any weapon on him.

The correctional officers had witnessed everything but turned blind to what had happened.

They were on the twenty-nine payroll.

After admitting the warden to the hospital, the warden was dead on arrival.

'These prison gangs had rankings starting from twenty-five; it created balance.'

On the far right-hand side is a gang called twenty-six, a gang that robs people and hustles for money, and on the far left is the twenty-eights, a team that is the rapist and the highest rank in prison with their high majority.

When Lucifer entered the prison, the twenty-six and twenty-eight wanted him to join their gang, but he already knew what number he would take and would get his rank by spilling blood.

One evening the warden was walking past Lucifer's cell. Gripping the blade with tape and paper, he stabbed the warden several times.

The twenty-seven gang approached him as the twenty-eight, and twenty-six then sat down in a circle with blankets over the head, discussing which rank Lucifer should take.

The guy who is part of the number twenty-seven has a bald head with a scorpion tattoo on his head and a dagger tattoo stabbing his neck with blood drops tattooed red.

"This man here, Lucifer, is twenty-seven. He killed that guard without hesitation."

The leader of the twenty-eight gang then approached him as they stood up.

"Listen, just because you got the number doesn't mean anything. In here, we run this joint."

Lucifer, without hesitation, gripped the plastic fork and stabbed the twenty-eight with the plastic fork into the neck.

After stabbing the guy, Lucifer looked around; the inmates looked down as a gesture to say they had not witnessed anything; the twenty-seven then said, "he made his mark," a twenty-seven, and the twenty-nine agreed.

He became the most dangerous person in prison; his rank grew more robust, and he had more tattooed stars as his ranking grew stronger.

Mr. Morningstar, Lucifer's dad, had connections inside; he served a few years in prison and was a drug lord.

When Lucifer was eighteen, his dad died, and he started to run the business from inside the prison; he became successful by running his business inside and outside.

Lucifer started putting the guards on his payroll.

He was released from Prison fifteen years later; his release made many gangs and other drug dealers fear for their lives and their family's safety.

No one dared to mess with or double-cross him on the streets or anywhere.

At the age of thirty-two, he told himself he would be successful.

He had a business deal with a Russian. The Russian tried to double-cross him because he was young.

They had underestimated his capabilities; he tortured the Russians to such an extent that he forced them to sign off all his billions to him, promising a painless death.

Lucifer started importing and exporting grade-A drugs, and he was a man of style and status. He never expressed or exposed emotion to any opposition.

Lucifer loved his silky navy suit with the Rolex watch, and he loved his GT cars.

He met Julia at the age of Thirty-two and got married to her. They had two kids at the time, Joshua and Tiffany.

Joshua and Tiffany spent most of the time with their mother since their dad had traveled quite a bit.

Tiffany had a crush on a boy who messed around with her at school.

Joshua beat the guy up with a baseball bat; the school suspended Joshua, and Lucifer was furious.

He decided to pay when the school visited; when the principal saw Mr. Morningstar, he fell to his knees, pleading for Lucifer to spare his life and promising to cancel Joshua's suspension.

Lucifer had his guards beat the principal up for wasting his time.

Knowing his dad is a billionaire gave Joshua advantages over things most people have never seen.

Most kids' dream is to be like their dad, and so was Joshus' dream until he saw how ruthless his dad was.

He saw how humble some people are, and he also saw the poor paying tax to his dad because his dad ended up buying most of the Land, through them, out on the streets to run his business from the property.

Tiffany was a beautiful young lady, who hung out with rich friends, and even though she knew she was wealthy, she never showed her wealth off by wearing expensive Jewelry.

She loves animals and can be very persuasive, but she has a gift that not even her dad knew she had.

Rowan, their baby brother, was born with a condition that forced them to a warmer climate. Joshua had a dark side to him. He had an eccentric personality.

He had his dad's charm and maybe something darker and evil than his dad that no one knew.

Lucifer had many guys working under him; if his workers dared to double-cross him, they would pay with their lives. His guys all had to have a tattoo with the MF. Letters.

Their tattoo was unique a dagger in a heart and thorns with dripping blood engraving MF. Some chose to wear it on their neck and arms, while others decided to have it tattooed across their chest.

Joshua had a different type of tattoo, also mafia but chose to be unique, the same as his dad.

Everyone would know whom Joshua is after getting this tattoo.

When Joshua opened the gate, exited his premises, and walked to his Land Cruser, a gang called the mongrels, six guys with MG on their foreheads and tattoos all over their faces, approached him.

Some of them were rapist who was in and out the prison.

They knew his dad was out of town, and his friends were not around. They decided to take a chance and try to Rob him. But they never realized that the apple did not fall far from the tree.

 Joshua was more robust and faster.

They only heard of Joshua but underestimated him because he was young, and they wanted in on his dad's business.

"Get out of the van," says the 5.5ft guy.

He has tattoos and piercings all over as he wears baggy jeans and brown leather Timberland boots.

"Hey, we want a cut in on your dad's business. Because of your dad, most of our businesses will be shut down."

"So, how would you like me to help you? Says Joshua removing his glasses"

The guy pulls out a knife pointing it at Joshua, Joshua's reaction. "Careful with that knife; someone might get hurt."

"What are you threatening me?"

"No," Joshua smiles. "I am giving you a chance to rethink your actions."

The guy turns to his friends, "Hosh ouens Luister Vir die France" listen to this guy.

Joshua walks up to the guy Frances, "I will give you three seconds to walk away."

"Not going to happen," says the short guy.

Joshua turns around, faces him, and grins; the guy notices the tattoo on his chest since his shirt is unbuttoned.

"We are not looking for problems," the guys drop their guns to the ground, "we never realized." Joshua's eyes darken, "realize what?"

"Joshua, is everything fine?"

It is Tiffany, "Yes, it is fine" the guys realize they have seriously messed up; that is Lucifer's daughter.

"Get out of my sight."

"It's times I visit these Mongrels."

Reaper was an acquaintance of Lucifer; they referred to the reaper as the cleaning service.

He pays reaper exceptionally well.

Reaper had connections in the Forensic police department worldwide, making missing person files disappear.
