Chapter 15: Chapter 15

I refused to cry no matter what. There were so many things going wrong and unpredictable but I still refused to cry. Not because it was a sign of weakness but because I was tired of feeling like I couldn't do anything. If Lukas wanted to be an asshole then so be it. I can find my way out of the hell hole all by myself.

When I went back to my room I realised that the sea view outside the window was artificial, something created by the demon himself to make the place look lively. Ironic actually. But that did not stop me from sitting on the ledge of the gallery and admiring the view.

Even though I was allowed to explore the huge mansion I was stuck in my room. There was a strong possibility of seeing Lukas outside which would make me angry enough to resort to punching. He could have explained it better, instead of making me feel like I was just some useless creature.

His words hurt. I thought that we had something but hearing those words from his mouth stung a lot. After that night I tried to find him like a fool I was, thinking that maybe he was doing the same. That even after leaving me the very next day, he might be searching for me.

Kira bought me food three times a day because I asked specially for her. She seemed like the only one who did not function like a robot. My days were a friend looking out of the window and marking each day on the wall so I could keep the track of time.

A week had passed since I was locked up in the room. There was a huge shelf of books right beside the bed and a plasma TV with every streaming site installed. For a flicker of a moment, I was actually grateful that he did not throw me in some dark cellar.

It turned into resentment soon when I thought about how he basically lured me with his charm answer those words to my face.

A knock on the door startled me. Closing the book I turned my attention towards the door only to notice Kira. That's odd. Even though I asked her multiple times to stay back or come back later she always avoids it. Apparently, the workers have to follow the strict schedule assigned to them.

"Good afternoon miss"

"Good afternoon" I hummed noticing that her lips were pressed together, eyes wide.

"Is something the matter?"

She nodded her head, "Your presence is requested in the living hall."

My eyes rolled at that. He ignored me for almost a week what did he want now? Okay fine, I was hoping for him to come to visit so that I can ask him some more questions. It took a while to realise that everything happening to me was not a dream. A place like Hell actually exists and Lukas, the stranger I met in the bar and got knocked up by is the ruler of Hell.

"What does your King wants?" I snarled, my hands gripping tightly at the copy of Paradise Lost. Funny how I was reading that while lounging in Hell.

She shook her head, "It's not the King. There is someone else who wants to meet you"

The book slipped away from my hands at that. Who would want to meet me? Unless someone dead. My breathing heightened as I tried to collect my thoughts and figure out about the person who wanted to meet me. Was it someone from my past? Maybe someone ended up in Hell.

There was not much information in the books about the functioning of Hell. I had no one to ask except Kira. She really answered my questions because they have some kind of obligations regarding the information. It's not like I can force the answers out of her.

From what I could manage to dig out, everyone who's in Hell are given specific cabins. They are not allowed to wander out because the cabin is sealed upon their entry. Only demons who are assigned for torture could go in. Also, the people who ended up in hell were chained to a memory, something that is very torturous to them and relives it every single day. It's stage one of the torture. Just thinking about it made me shiver in fear.

I couldn't even say that I did not want to end up there because I was actually living in Hell. Lukas did not even give me an option. That's why I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to sneak out and find someone who can help me get back. Probably the guy who carried me to Hell.

"Who?"

"The three fairies," Kira said to which I jumped out of my bed. They can help me.

***

I actually regret the way I spoke to those three fairies. They finally came to my rescue. Does that mean God exists as well? If someone like Lukas does then there should be something heavenly as well. Maybe those three fairies who tried to warn me that day must be God sent.

A grin spread across my lips at the thought of being out of Hell. I can finally go back to earth. My friends must be so worried, especially Mira who was on her way from her college. I couldn't even imagine the feelings she must be going through.

Kira stared at me, confused at the sudden change in my behaviour. From past few days I have been nothing but depressed and crying myself to sleep. And also stress eating. The amount of food I have consumed in the last week was ridiculous. As Kira said that they were equipped with all kinds of cuisine chefs I got greedy and curious. Not the best combination.

"Miss you seem..."

"Happy?" I cut her off

She cleared her throat, pushing open the grand door to the living room, "Hopeful. You look hopeful"

"Oh you have no idea"

My eyes lighted up when I noticed that the three of them sitting on the couch were the same fairies who visited me. As I tilted my head my mouth parted in surprise noticing Lukas sitting beside them. They did not look like rivals. Instead, Gia was awfully chummy with Lukas.

"Miss Talia" Sia bowed down, her wings slightly fluttering as she raised her head. That's insane I thought, my mouth closing.

The two greeted in the same manner and I felt Lukas attention on me. Why was he still in the living room? Shouldn't he be somewhere else so that it would be easy for me to escape?

"How are you?" I cheerfully asked.

Lukas made a noise, his eyes narrowed, "You know them?"

I blinked my eyes at that and stared towards the fairies. Should I just tell him the truth? The three of them looked unbothered by the question. I was trying to communicate with them without talking, motioning my eyes towards Lukas but they seemed clueless. For someone who was talking in the code language the first time, I met them seemed like fools standing in front of me.

Mia giggled, "Yes we had the chance to meet her. Actually, Sia thought-"

Sia elbowed her sister and muttered an apology. My eyes kept shifting between both of them. Something was seriously wrong between them.

Sia coughed, "Let's not get into it, Mia. We are here to do something important and let's just do that"

Lukas shook his head, "Not until you tell me how Talia knows about you"

Gia scoffed while walking towards Lukas and I held my breath. Yes, she was going to punch him finally and break me out of here! I internally grinned at the thought. He was towering over her but still, she did not seem to mind that.

"We had to warn her about the dangers of being on earth but miss Talia had no idea about it. That's all. Now can we do it?"

Do what? I thought, disappointed. I had high hopes on Gia that somehow she will break me free.

Lukas gritted his teeth together, "I don't want you to see her without my permission"

Sia rolled her eyes, "Good thing we don't need permission then"

"Huh?"

"Your child is a half-demon My King and it's better if you let us help with it. There are a lot of creatures out to get both of you and you can only rely on a handful of them. We are on your side " Gia said, her voice serious.

My eyes widened at that. I was on the target along with my baby. My hands went towards my stomach as an instinct. Sia came forward and took my hand.

"We are not healers Miss Talia but we have to determine life first"

My eyebrows raised, "What do you mean by that?"

"The baby had no moment from the past week so we want to check up on it"
