MAX EMPIRE*
“Max, I don’t like this, I don’t like this idea of gambling against Lucifer,” Jadan said, he was with his Brother who was preparing for the game
Max laughed at him
“You worry too much, I get everything all planned,” He said, he has a smirk on his face
“That’s what you said and get your wife ki||ed, Iris is dead and it was you who ki||ed her,” Jadan snapped
Max grabbed him and pinned him to the wall
“You already said that you’re against me, why then can’t you stay away from me?” Max yelled
“Fine, get your hands off me,” Jadan replied
Max release him and he opened the door to leave only to see Taylor standing there
Taylor is Iris’s brother and the son of Lord Cyprus, one of the dangerous Mafia lords
“You ki||ed my sister,” Taylor asked walking into the room
“Don’t twist it, Lucifer and his wife did not me,” Max corrected
“And why should I believe you?” Taylor asked staring at him
“Everyone knows, during the gathering of the don and the masters. Lucifer ordered his wife to poison me but he couldn’t get me so he went for my wife instead,” Max explained
“Lucifer ki||ed my sister,” Taylor muttered
“That’s why I challenge him to a death gamble, I have never seen him play gamble and I have an insider in his clan so he’s going down, my wife’s death won’t be in vain,” Max said, and tapped his shoulder
“Are you an enemy or an ally?” Max asked gently
Taylor was quiet for a while
“I don’t have all day,” Max muttered
“Ally, I thought he was my friend but now that he ki||ed my sister things have changed,” Taylor replied, he shook hands with Max who has a hidden smirk on his face
“Let’s go get him,” Max said and they left

LUCIFER’S CLAN*
Godmother chamber*
“Are you feeling any pain?” Regina asked
“Never been better,” Natalie who was eating replied
The food she was eating wasn’t prepared in the place they crown her Natalie the mighty
“He’s just hard to deal with it, just stay away from him and you will be fine, okay?” Regina said gently
“Why does he h@ťěs me so much? He’s a demon, gosh, I h@ťě him too… I h@ťě him three and four and five even hundred,” Natalie replied, she has a big frown on her face
Regina hold her hand gently
“You see, there is this boy of about nine years old, he had a perfect family of five, A mother, father, big sister of about fifteen, and a baby brother that was four. One day one of his father’s employees they took as family broke into their home, his mother was quick to hide him in the closet but before she could get to others the men surrendered them already”
They ki||ed his father who tried to protect his family
“There were five men, he watched from the closet as they R@P£D his mother repeatedly all five of them till her last breath, they did the same thing to his sister and when she didn’t die they took her, not just that they took his sister. They also carried his baby Brother that was four years old, this boy was in the closet and they didn’t see him, so they left but not without setting the house ablaze,” Regina explained calmly
“Lucifer,” Natalie called the only name in her mind, her mouth wide open
“Yes, and the employee was your father, he brought assassins to their home and destroyed it right before his eyes, you should know the pain in his heart if only he has one cos he sold it,” Regina replied, her hand in Natalie’s head as she gently stroke her hair
Natalie dropped the food
Natalie didn’t know when tears stream down her eyes, how could her father do this to his fellow human being? The fact that Lucifer is punishing her is bad but look at his family, they were wiped out In a day by her father,” Natalie thought
“What about you? Are you not his mother? Why can’t he go to my father instead of making me his bride since he detests me so much?” Natalie asked, she looked at Regina cos she don’t understand
Regina smiles lightly
“That will be the discussion of another day,” Regina replied and stood up
“What about……”
“One day at a time,” Regina cut in and she nodded
“I should go now, I will come back later,” Natalie said and Regina flashes a smile
“Stay away from him always remember that,” Regina said and Natalie nodded
“I will,” she replied by the door and left

She took a bite and pass it to Natalie
“Care for some?” She asked
“No, let’s go I didn’t see what am looking for,” Natalie mumbled
They went back to her room, Natalie went to her closet searching for a better thing to wear, why did he h@ťě pregnancy? Did my father really do that? Gosh, am not thinking straight,” Natalie placed her hand on her forehead
“Why are you suddenly three? Since when did you become a magician?” Luna suddenly asked, her eyes rolling
Natalie ignored her
“You have become four… No five, I mean six, why do you keep multiplying,” Luna shouted and Natalie looked at her
“Are you alright? Am just one here,” Natalie said calmly
“You’re blurry, wait….. I need to dance, turn on the music,” Luna said and stood on her feet
She staggered and made to fall but Natalie caught her, she pushed her onto the bed then she went back to her closet
