The Secret Of The Beauty In Black

After that fateful night, everything changed for Jennifer. Gone was the girl who used to smile and laugh along with others, cry in their pain and help them in their need. What remained was only an emotionless vessel who just had one aim in her life: Revenge. -- "No one can control me anymore!! I will live my life as per my wish." She said with hatred in her voice.  .... "Heh...Love is what? The best thing that happened to you?? Tsk..tsk..such a fool. Remember, love is just another name of destruction. The ones who believe in love are all fools. I was also one of them, but not now. I will never fall in love again. Also, don't come crying to me once you face a betrayal." .... "What will it take for you to accept me?"  Jennifer looked at the man as if he had grown two heads!! "Mister I have told this earlier too, I don't want to get into a relationship, so why not stop chasing after me?" .... "Please tell me what should I do to make you mine?" The man pleaded. Annoyed by his questions about the same thing again and again, Jennifer finally replied, "If you can defeat me in a fight, I will think about it."  She was quite confident that no one could defeat her. ------   "You lost...." "No, this can't be true right," murmured Jennifer. She was totally confused and shocked. Never did she think that 'he' would be able to defeat her.  "So what do you want?" She asked with confusion laced in her voice. "Are you sure you will fulfil my wish?" He smiled much to her displeasure. "Yes, I never back down on my words." She spoke back with gritted teeth, showing her displeasure, even though she knew this decision of hers might lead her into something complex. "Marry Me," He demanded. "Wait what?!! But you are gay right?" This was her immediate response to his demand. Who in their sane mind would want to marry a gay? That too with the man with whom she was previously in a fake relationship. He chuckled and slowly bent down near her ear "You will know when you will marry me" he whispered. "You..." ---- Torn between the battle of her brain and heart, Jennifer doesn't know what she should choose?  Should she listen to her brain which was constantly signalling her of the alert or should she follow her heart, which would pound erratically for some handsome 'devil'? Because of her traumatic past, Jennifer had sworn never to fall in love again. To never let her heart skip a beat again for someone. But she fails, terribly; when a certain dashing devil enters into her dark world. Will this devilishly handsome man break the walls of her heart?  Will he be able to help her past her traumas and her insecurities? .... But wait! Who the hell is this man? Well...for that stay tuned and continue to read the story!! *It's a slow burn book, hope you enjoy it.

'LUCIFER'

Ava got up rubbing her aching butt.

"I tell you, you should just date him for good. What's the use in kissing without being official. If you just date him, you will also enjoy privileges in bed too." Ava winked at Jennifer, who completely ignored her.

"I will not." Jennifer made her way towards the patio, which was located opposite the bed.

"I have work to do, you know that I am still an employee in Sidon. You shower till then I will complete my work."

"Sure." Ava was a little disappointed, as she couldn't convince Jennifer to date Emmett.

'I forgot to take their photo just now. Sigh, what should I do now? How will I convince them to date each other? More of I have to convince Alissa, as cousin is ready to date her. Should I just take them directly to the bed? That would be my last approach, if Alissa does not agree to date cousin.' Ava thought while making her way towards the bathroom.

After the bathroom door closed, Jennifer opened her laptop. Alissa had sent her few emails as well as some photos, three days ago.

The emails were related to Felix case and Lefen unit, whereas the photos were of the man she had met in the alley.

He had a hole in his forehead, and lay dead in his room. Alissa had messaged her,

[Alissa: Oh my!! sis Amy, how did you know that he will commit suicide. You are really something, way too super-duper brilliant. Anyway, I have already had his family shifted to a new place, they are safe there.]

[Jennifer: That's good then.]

After replying her message, Jennifer first opened the email regarding Lefen unit.

After reading through the information, her eyes dangerously narrowed.

'Lucifer.'

The most dangerous devil in the underworld. No one was aware of his real name, nor his real face. He was like a Satan, hence everyone called him Lucifer.

Lucifer's men had broken in the Lefen unit's secret panel.

Even though he was a man from the underworld, he never did anything wrong, like killing the innocent people. He also never did anything illegal. He only killed the ones who were in the wrong, such as the groups like child trafficking, drugs smuggling, etc. His motto was that 'he had never attacked the ones who did not attacked him first.'

'Why did his men broke in through the secret panel then?' Jennifer was perplexed.

Did her men provoked him by any chance?

It was a clear headache for her now.

She did not want to go against him at any cost.

Jennifer messaged Leo,

[Jennifer: Was there recently any movement by our people from Lefen?]

Shortly his reply came,

[Leo: Yes. They had gone to Italy just after you returned. They had also brought a map with them. But I did not know anything about it and hence kept it in the secret panel, which was recently ambushed by some people. The CCTV footage was also destroyed.]

[Jennifer: Why didn't you let me know? What were you thinking by keeping it hidden from me, for such a long time?]

[Leo: Sigh, I tried contacting you, but was unable to and also I got to know about these things just the day before, the ambush took place.There was a problem in the network in Los Angeles. I just happen to land back in Paris and the first one I contacted was you. Actually I think that the group destroyed our network connection. I had just bought a new phone. The old one was hacked, I suppose.]

[Jennifer: Throw the old one in a remote place, or somewhere in a river. It will not be good to use that anymore.]

[Leo: Okay.]
