The Demon's Soul Chapter 71 Sin- Part 1

I looked from the corner of my eyes at the man who Luke had claimed to be as his father and my husband who was now looking outside the window into the endless space.
It had been two minutes since the revelation while I sat there dumbstruck.
So lets start from the scratch. Luke's father was Lucifer that meant Satan's son was Luke who was married to me. So...I looked back at Lucifer who was looking at me. Was this event not recorded in the books? I heard Luke sigh and turn towards me when his father spoke.
"You have questions to ask me, ask away," he said enthusiastically. I opened my mouth but closed it trying to frame right sentences.
"Are Luke and Canrart your only sons or do you have more than two?" I started with my first question to him.
"Lucian is my only son while Canrart is Albert Knight's son," he explained and my mind went to Heather, Luke's mom immediately, "It would have been a lot easier to answer your questions if I could read your mind but my son seems to have blocked your mind which is preventing me from reading it anymore," he said with a hint of exasperation looking at Luke.
Hearing this Luke grinned and got up from his seat, "I'll take a walk to the cellar and be back in few minutes," he said walking towards the door. Alarm rang in my head when I saw him leave. I didn't trust the guy sitting in front of me one bit. Gahh! Don't leave me alone here! Looking at my face Luke said, "You'll be fine Lillian, I trust him enough not to kill you himself," wait what does that mean?!
Once Luke left the room, none of us spoke and the only sound that filled the silence was the crackling of the fire next to us.
"What about Heather?" I asked him after some fleeting seconds.
"How I met her?" I nodded and saw him lean back in his chair, "Heather was an attractive and smart woman, still is. It was an instant attraction when I saw her, there have been plenty of women I have been with but she was different. It was like any day me strolling down the town when I met her. We spent a night and the following month she was married to Albert Knight."
"You didn't stop their marriage?" I asked surprised.
"Why would I?" he tilted his head looking at me, "Just because I have slept with countless women doesn't mean I'm going to marry every one of them and take them as my wife. Given I'm very picky, I had no intention of marrying her and she was well aware of it too but not knowing who I actually was. With the haze of lust at that moment, I didn't realize I planted my seed in her. She had told the vampire king about her one-night affair with me the day before they took their vows and he accepted her without any second thought, raising the boy as his own and giving him his name."
"When did you get to know about Luke's existence?"
"After seven years he was born. It was a funny story when I found out you know, like ha ha funny not haha. Mr. Reaper had to retrieve a soul but he said he tried everything but nothing seemed to work to kill the boy. Finally, I had to go down to see who was stalling Mr. Reaper and was surprised to find my blood running in the boy's veins," he said narrowing his eyes.
A person with horns appeared in the room with a glasses of wine it and served it to us.
"Thank you," I said taking it and saw Lucifer dismiss the person with his hand. As I sipped from the glass, he spoke,
"It's a deer's veined blood," and I spewed the liquid out of my mouth, coughing in the end.
"Thanks for letting me know before I gulped it," I said sardonically.
"My first impression was that someone had tried to trick me but when I saw Heather around him I realized he was my son. I was ready to kill him myself as I thought one day he would challenge me for my throne," he said casually as though he was discussing about his next meal for the day, "I offered Heather with a proposal that if she left this world to be with me I would let her husband live long. Instead of listening, she slammed the door telling me to attend a priest as I was crazy. Of course it was a lie that I would spare her husband but she didn't agree to it and he died on the battle field after two years not that I had anything to do with it. In the mean time I subtly tried killing the boy by either pushing him from the top hill, drowning him in the river or getting him lost in the wild forest but somehow he always made it alive."
"You're a terrible person," I muttered under my breath. I could now see where the DNA had passed on from.
"That I've been told and it's always so refreshing to hear it," was his instant reply with a wide smile like I had just praised him, "Ah so where was I? Yes, with three years of torture the boy had grown on me. He was fearless and cocky for a young boy, moreover it seemed like death was on his side. The need to have Heather next to me had grown strong too and I befriended Lucian to use him but he knew right away who I was after all he was my boy. I wanted him as my heir but he didn't. I made a deal with him but he rejected it and ignored my presence when ever I visited him which did annoy me a tiny bit."
"Looks like you're on better terms with him now," I commented and he nodded.
"That's all thanks to you Lillian," he said making me frown.
"Me?"
"Yes, if it weren't for your previous death things would still have been the same with no progress between us. Lucian had come here for the first time to ask for my help to see where your soul had gone, that is if it was still in the realm of the supernatural."
"And you helped him," I added my input and he shook his head chuckling.
"My help doesn't come for free," of course, we were speaking about this devil. Cunning, manipulating, evil which now equaled to my father-in-law, I thought dryly.
"What deal did you offer him?" I asked curiously.
"The deal was simple. He had to sleep with a woman of my pick and pleasure her for," he raised his index finger, "One month in the human calendar."
I felt my mouth go dry hearing it, why would he do that-slowly the bolts in my head began working to why he would ask such a thing. I remembered the time when Elise had spoken about Luke sleeping with a woman but never knew as to what the story was all about.
His father knew Luke loved me enough to want me back but making Luke sleep with another woman...
"You wanted him to commit a sin," I whispered confused. Promising a person with pledged never-ending love of not touching another and sleeping with another woman right after was seen as a betrayal.
He clapped his hand together and got up, "I'm glad we are bonding so well. You might even be helpful to me in the near future," he smirked and his words made me feel uneasy, "And yes you are right.
On queue, Luke appeared making me the happiest person at that moment.
"Did you find what you were looking for?" his father asked him and I heard a loud bark. Soon Dozer came into my view as the dog came wagging its tail towards me and I bent down to pet his head.
"I didn't know he made a new friend," the man murmured amused and I felt one of Luke's hands find my hand so that he could link it with mine, "Dozer was a gift to Lucian but my son was rude enough to gift the same to another boy," he grumbled as we walked.
No wonder the dog showed sharp vampire-like teeth in the land of Syrian. He was a hell dog.
Suddenly something moved from the corner of my eye making me snap my head in that direction. Jumping out of the window, I ran towards the forest line. I could see the distinct outline of the creature. Even though they were far away, I could see it due to my newfound vision.
By the feel of it, there were more than one and I was right when I turned around. If their wolf-like hollow faces didn't scare me before it did now and I couldn't believe my face is going to turn just like that.
"We need to talk," one of them spoke.
