Chapter 939 My Beautiful Monster Part 40

SUMIRE

Sometimes she dislikes having such a powerful memory. It meant, even if she tried to push the thoughts to the back of her mind. She would still remember it. During her recent library visits, a certain group of females have been deliberately speaking loudly about their relations.h.i.+ps with Lucifer. Deliberately dropping their phones with videos and images of the affair.

The images of Lucifer entangled with other women, hearing his voice as he was inside others-

Sumire shakes her head, she has no right to be jealous. After all, she still hasn't regained the memories of their time together in this life. The memories she has regained is of their past lives together. But even then, she can't focus on one memory long enough to keep it in her head.

It bothers her, she wants to share the memories she has gained with Lucifer. She wants to reminisce with her husband. To go through their joyful memories together.

She has kept some memories. But the memories that she has managed to piece together are the negative aspects of their relations.h.i.+p. An image of her searching for Lucifer at his work place, only to hear grunts, moans, flesh meeting flesh, panting, and thumps of a body being slammed against a desk. Oh, yes the memories she manages to put together happen to be the ones of him cheating on her.

Sumire sighed deeply. She wonders if it means anything. Is this a sign telling her to stay away from him? To find out what secrets he has been hiding from her?

After a few minutes Lucifer drew back and traced her lips. "I must confess, I like the idea of you kissing me more than chaining you to my bed."

"C-chain?" Sumire said horrified.

Lucifer gave a low dark sensual chuckle down her ear sending her shuddering. One of his hands slipped through the slit on her dress. "Yes, chain. One of these days my heart, I shall keep you in our bed for days."

She recalled the conversation she had with Akane-chan not too long ago. It's not like she isn't interested, especially after hearing how different her husband was with other women. How can he treat others like that and not her? Does she not invoke his pa.s.sionate side?

For so long she was worried that it was her and that she did something wrong. But, hearing his needy tone now. It seems he has been holding back with her.

"I-if we don't walk now, I am afraid the night will slip away." Sumire quickly s.h.i.+fted the topic.

Lucifer nodded and pulled away as they continued to walk down the path. It took her a few extra minutes to calm down, images of what Lucifer would possibly do to her if he made do on his promise to keep her 'chained' to the bed flashed through her mind.

But as they continued to walk, she found herself drawn to the different sights and sounds. The markets, the open air cafes and the diversity of the people. Even though she doesn't have her memories of this life time. A part of her knows deep down that she has never been to such a lively place.

Moreover all the people here, they all respect Lucifer. She has lost count how many people have greeted them in the last few minutes. Even though everyone can see the darkness surrounding him, there is no fear. Indeed, Sumire steals a glance at Lucifer who was buying pastries for her. Despite what he thinks of himself, there is no doubt that he is a kind person.

Maybe once they have gotten to know each other better, maybe she can bring up him quitting that organisation. She doesn't need riches as long as they are together. There are plenty of other ways he can spoil her too.

Sumire recalled something Jacks told her about this region. "This town, this is the only one like this in this region isn't it?"

Jacks told her the reason Lucifer doesn't let her go outside isn't just because of some mystical danger. It's because, there is no other safe place. He described homes that had been sacked, burned, and how wars have taken the lives of many. How the drought in the lands have lead to famine. Yet, there is a town like this.

"It's the only place I could save, the only one that was possible to save. I do not know much about the other regions. But, unlike the others this land has always been a land of night. We have been unable to grow crops naturally, and so we have had to do with trades from the outside. Even then we have had to keep it to a minimum due to the danger. In the darkness that shrouds these lands, there are

"Darkness that you can't control?" Sumire mumbled understanding.

"Yes. It is beyond my ability to control the horrors that plague the land."

So much pain, so much sorrow. How long has he had to endure the burden alone? How many years were they separated from one another? Although she doesn't remember the fight they had. Whatever it was, is nothing compared to him being alone. How could she have been so stupid?

"Despite that, I have managed to push back the darkness from this part of the region and our manor."

Is that why he always looks so worn out?

"Make no mistake. I am a powerful being. But, even the strongest have their limits. Even the strongest need an anchor, a partner to maintain a balance."

Sumire blinked hearing those words. A partner, partner-

'We make the best team!'

'Will you be my partner again?'

Flashes, not just flashes this time. But an actual conversation flashed through her head. Who was she talking to? Black hair, black, it has to be Lucifer. However, this other person has a different build from Lucifer.

'Don't you think it's fate my dear?'

Suddenly Lucifer has swept her in his arms, halting their walk. He is holding her tightly.

"What's wrong?" Sumire asked.

"Those headaches, you've been having them a lot recently haven't you?" Lucifer mumbled.

Sumire blinked, surprised at his question. "Yes but-" Sumire paused mid-sentence when she realized he was shaking. "I am alright, if you're worried about my health. I can see the medic when we get back. Let's try to enjoy the festival alright?"

She has never seen him like this before, never seen him so afraid.
