Bath together

★★★★

As they went back home Alexander went to the bar counter and poured a glass of whiskey and drank in the dulled mood. He didn't know where he had made a mistake when he had arranged everything for Bella and why he didn't smell her problem.

"I hear. Ah! Damn! She has caught many eyes because of you. You two are not meant to be together. Moreover, she is not meant to be alive." Lucifer's words were carefree but true, and Alex couldn't wipe them off.

"So others now will tell me with whom I should be," said Alexander, downing more drinks. He smiled when he thought how everyone had aimed for his thing when he completely alerted everyone not to do that. Eyeing on king's things needed guts.

"It's not my words, Satan. Bella can live a happy human life if you do not appear in this mortal world or she can be in hell with you if she died long ago," Lucifer added when Alexander had finished mocking those eyes that dared to lay on Bella, knowing she was the king's woman. Alexander never forgot things if his line had been crossed.

"Hmm!! No one has questioned me before because they have no power. Still, they have no power, but they have developed their guts. Tell me what Bael ordered you," said Alexander, putting the glass down on the counter and turning his chair to Lucifer.

"Um! I have been asked to find out what in this world has caged you, that you have betrayed our father. He's so eager to find out," Lucifer drew a smile upon his face when he realized that Alexander had given up on his human aspect and brought up his ruthless devil, as Bella was mentioned.

"What will you do?" Alexander asked with a straight face. Though Alexander knew Lucifer wouldn't do anything, cause he cared about the things which would help him to retrieve the throne.

"Nothing much. Because you guys are showing your affection openly, no doubt she will be killed soon. I don't have to do anything. I was shocked when I heard you went to the movie with Bella, which you have never done. Spill it, Satan, you are in love with a human," Lucifer spoke loud as he raised the word love.

Alexander's eyes shifted away from Lucifer, falling on his hand. This hand adored her throughout the time because he was her master and she was his pet. Love didn't exist for the devils and demons except for hate and cruelty.

"Is my word ringing in your year, or do you accept what I said?" Lucifer said while he followed Alex's hand to know what happened there.

"Do you remember Bael had eaten your firstborn? I was not shocked, not you either because we've never learned to love or care. I wish I knew how to feel love but sorry to disappoint you," Alexander replied with a smile, shutting Lucifer off being nosy anymore.

"Alright. What about tomorrow? I don't want to go, but no one is here to listen to me. Oh, by the way, I've heard your two x girlfriends will attend the party to add glam. Blame Uncle Sukridas, such a lustful devil, eyeing on your girls," Xavier chuckled when he brought up his mischievousness.

"Fuck everyone," Alexander paused, then mentioned what he needed to know. "Have you found the Vampire?"

"No, definitely. Not, my headache," Xavier curtly answered, then resuming the next second, "Maybe Lilith has come back?"

"She's gone," Alexander got down from the seat and walked past Xavier but Xavier saw him stop, then his words made him think why he was threatening him, "I'll not tolerate a single harm on Bella."

When Alexander reached Bella's room, he found the bed was empty while earlier he made her sleep there. However, he noticed a figure in the bathroom, under the shower. He grinned and walked to the glass door and gave a knock, "Bella."

Inside the bathroom, Bella had her back to the door while her head was down under the shower. She did not hear her name, so the sudden knock frightened her. She turned back and stopped the water from falling so that she could hear.

"Bella," Alexander shouted again.

"Yes, yes," Bella responded after another call.

"Open the door," the shameless man stunned Bella with his words while she thought he needed something important.

"No, get lost," Bella shouted and moved toward the shower. Her hand reached for the faucet to twist when Alex's words turned her entire body warm as her blood made its appearance on her skin. "I need to take a shower too. We can do it together. Don't forget, this way we can save water."

"No, I don't want to. Go to your room," Bella angrily said and waited for his words.

"Absolutely not. Then how will I see your curvy figure? Everything is in perfect shape. I love it," Alexander teased with his nefarious words. Although he couldn't deny how enchanting Bella had looked through the glass; a pristine picturesque.
