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.

'WELCOME BACK LUCIFER'

Closing the balcony's door, he went inside and sat on one of the lounge's couch.

He closed his eyes and lazily layed his head on the back pillows of the couch.

After two minutes, he got up and went into the other room where he had temporarily shifted his things.

Taking out his laptop, he came back into the lounge, kept the laptop on the table and sat down comfortably on the couch.

Without even opening it, he inserted a red coloured chip into a small compartment which was located at the bottom of the laptop.

Just after inserting it, a large intensity of light came out of the laptop screen.

Emmett closed his eyes till the light went off.

Then he pressed the start button on the keyboard and it opened on a page which required password to move further on.

Emmett's hands danced on the keyboard as he typed the password.

After typing a fifteen digit password, he pressed on the enter button. A new page appeared on the screen where a white icon slowly enlarged.

It was a white tiger.

It looked like a realistic image and when the tiger opened it's closed eyes, they appeared to be in golden colour.

Emmett adjusted himself, as he bent down and leveled himself to the icon tiger's eyes.

After two seconds, a 'ting' sound came and then two string of bold text in red appeared on the screen.

'Successful Login.'

'Welcome Back Lucifer.'

The eyes of the tiger were actually a sensor. Emmett was the only person who could login.

If another person ever tried to open the laptop using the chip, then they were destined to loose their eyes.

The tiger's two eyes also had a laser in them. If anyone other than Emmett would try to look into them, then the laser rays would harm the person's eyes.

The person would forever loose his sight.

The laser was so powerful that it could pass through a metal. Even if the person were to wear a pair of glasses, still the laser would pass through it.

Bringing the laptop close, he kept it on his lap and started doing his work.

Though the screen looked nothing different compared to a normal laptop, it contained highly secretive information of Lucifer's organisation.

He clicked on a icon similar to 'My Computer'.

A coded message appeared as soon as he clicked on the icon.

'10935692000448765000111946394639'

Reading the message, Emmett narrowed his eyes and his gaze turned murderous.

He further clicked on the message and then a file opened.

Many numbers appeared on the screen similar to the one he had just read.

Emmett read all the messages carefully.

It took him twenty minutes to read the whole message.

At the end, he just typed '010' and sent it to the person who had send him the message.

He had actually decided to spend some time with Jennifer and then go back to his base but who would have thought that a problem would arise in his base.

Massaging his temples, he came out of the page and closed the laptop.

Just then he heard his cellphone ringing beside him.

A dangerous smile made it's way on his lips when he saw the string of numbers on his phone.

A murderous glint passed his eyes as he picked up his phone.
