Narrator’s pov 🧚
Caleb balled his fist, his eyes held great anger as he stared.. or glared rather maliciously at Lucifer’s car as it drove off.
“Caleb, don’t worry, Lanie is gonna come back to us soon” Gabriella comforted him.
He clenched his jaw.
“Can’t she get whatever evidence she’s looking for while still staying in the convent?” He asked through gritted teeth.
Gabriella folded her arms on her chest, she sat on the swing which Melanie had just sat.
“Living together with him is more convenient, she will easily get what she wants and avenge father Reed” she explained.
Caleb continued glaring daggers at an empty space, since the car was already gone and out of sight.
He tore his eyes away from the road and fixed them on Gabriella.
“I still find it hærd to believe, father Reed is actually Mel’s biological father?” He muttered.
Gabriella nodded in agreement, she sighed again.
“Yeah, but I don’t think he was all that pure as mother Emily had painted him…he must have got something dirty in his pocket, hence that guy wouldn’t have killed him”
“You think so?”
She shook her head with a serious expression on, her chin resting on her fingers.
“I know so… ”
she gasped when she recalled something, she grabbed Caleb’s arm and stared at him seriously.
“…we were so engrossed in mother Emily’s story and forgot the main reason we went to father Reed’s office!” she exclaimed.
“Yeah, holy sh*t! Do you think the evidence would still be?” He asked.
Gabriella shook her head slowly.
“If there was any evidence there, it must have removed by now” she said.
Her brows drew together in a deep frown as she tried to think about something.. then she suddenly snapped her fingers.
“We can searched father Reed’s secret drawers later tonight”
“Secret drawers?” He asked.
“Yes, father Reed doesn’t keep all his files in that drawer…he has always kept his very important files in a separate place”
“Oh”
She nodded in satisfaction with a smile.
“Wait, then why did he kept their DNA test results in that drawer? Isn’t that supposed to be a very important doc-ment?” Caleb asked.
Gabriella lifted herself off the swing and walked towards the bench they were all sitting, before they had decided to have some fun.
She picked her small backpack off the bench, a confused frown was on her forehead.
“Maybe he’s been keeping it there waiting for the day Lanie would find out and ask him about it” she said after a long thought.
“Hmm, that’s reasonable.. so sad Mel didn’t get to ask him about it before his demise” he said.
“Yeah.. he’s been longing for his daughter to recognize him as a father”
“But he could have just told her the truth about their relationsh¡p”
Gabriella shook her head in disagreement.
“No, I guess he was looking for the right time” she said.
They headed towards the road in silence, to get a cab back to the convent. After all, they walked very far.. more than they has intended.
“What’s more important now is finding out the connection between my aunt and rebel father” Caleb spoke.
“Well, let’s search father Reed’s secret drawers, we might get something on rebel father.. but we’ll have to wait for Lanie”
“Why?” He asked.
“She has the keys… ” she smiled. “.. now I understand why he gave her the keys, they are father and daughter.. that was why he trusted and love her so much”
It’s true, Father Reed had transfer the love he had for his wife onto their daughter.. thinking back Gabriella smiled.
At that moment, her phone rang. She quickly reached for it in her pocket, she saw mother Emily flashing on the screen and showed it to Caleb.
He laughed.
“She must be getting worried about you girls” he said.
Gabriella simply shrugged and swiped right, the brought the phone closer to her ear.
“Hello, mother Emily?”
“Gabriella, why isn’t none of you back yet? I hope all is well?” Mother Emily asked.
“Yes, we are on our way back now”
“Good, hurry up and come join the sisters clear the office” she said.
“Yes, mother” Gabriella answered and waited until mother Emily hanged up.
She shoved the phone back in her pocket and stopped an oncoming taxi, but unfortunately it’s not empty.
“I should have drove my car” Caleb lamented.
Gabriella laughed at his expression.
“Love is kinda cruel, turning people into fools” she said, making Caleb glared at her.

Melanie’s pov 🧚
Mr Bright’s mansion….
We sat opposite each other, he’s staring at something in his phone and laughing loudly.
“Ahem!” I cleared my throat.
He paused, lifted his head and stared at me, his eyebrows raise quizzically.
“I have a few questions for you” I said.
“Yeah, you said that earlier”
He dropped his phone on the table, crossed his legs, folded his arms on his chest and leaned back on the chair.
“Go on, I’m all ears” he said.
I nodded and coughed slightly.
“About father Reed…”
“About him being your dad?” He cut me off.
I frowned.
“How did you know?” I asked.
It was just this morning I found out about father Reed being my dad.. how did he managed to find out too?
Has he found out before me?
“I just found out from you” he said.
“Me?”
“Your thoughts” he clarified.
Oh, right, he can read my mind, I almost forgot that.
“Why did you killed father Reed?” I asked.
“I didn’t kill him, darling, it was his time to leave the world… If not, my dad wouldn’t have let him go”
“What do you mean you didn’t kill him?”
I saw him clearly when he was kneeling next to father Reed’s body, father Reed’s blood was all over him.
“And who is this your dad you always speak of?” I asked.
He got up from the chair he was sitting and sat on the one next to me, he leaned closer to me but I moved back a bit.
“Darling, there’s something you don’t know about your father Reed… Yes what you’re told is true, he’s your biological father but… ”
He trailed off and studied my expression, but I was just staring at him anxiously.
“… he raped your mother and that resulted to you”
My head grew bigger at his words.
“H-he raped… my mother?” I stuttered.
“Yes”
Father Reed raped my mother? But this isn’t what mother Emily told me, she said father Reed and my mother were deeply in love with each other.
Mr Bright laughed.
“Darling, your mother Emily doesn’t want you to hate your father, so she kinda twisted the truth” he said.
Father Reed raped my mother, he…
“You’re my darling, I can’t lie to you”
Who’s telling the truth? Mother Emily or Mr Bright? Who should I trust?
“I won’t lie to you, but one thing was genuine about your father.. he truly loved you” he said.
“Wait.. how did you know father Reed raped my mother?” I asked him.
He smiled.
“He was working for my rival, of course I’ll know him”
Mr Bright is also in the mafia? That means he must have killed a lot of people.
“Why did you kill him then?”
“He was a thief, he stole from people to enrich himself.. do you know how much he’s got in his account?”
“You’re lying, father Reed wouldn’t steal from others, he repented and was staying in the convent”
He frowned slightly, he reached for his phone and scrolled through it.. then showed it to me.
“This was his warehouse located in that alley near the convent”
Alley.. I know that alley.
That was where I first met Mr Bright, that was where he almost killed me.
“I didn’t wanted to kill him that day, I simply fought back to defend myself”
“Defend yourself from what? A armless priest?”
He shook his head.
“He wasn’t armless, he was holding a gun and even shoot me.. you know, I’m immortal hence I survived” he said.
Father Reed was holding a gun?
My mind flashed back to the scene of father Reed’s death, then I recalled there was a small gun laying a few inches away from him.
So that was actually father Reed’s gun? How can a priest have a gun?
“You know, I went there to confessed my sins that day and I happened to recognize father Reed.. who would have known he’ll try to silent me” he sighed.
I compared his story with mother Emily’s, they both seemed truth.. I can’t distinguish between the lie and truth.
“Mr Bright, lunch is ready” a girl in maid uniform informed him.
“Alright, set the table” he ordered her.
she nodded and went back to the kitchen, I faced Mr Bright.
“When did you have a maid?” I asked.
“Oh, this morning, I’m afraid you’ll burn down the house one day” he replied.
I scoffed and rolled my eyeballs.
I got up, picked my bag and headed upstairs to my room.
He doesn’t seem like he’s ready to answer any more questions, if I should continue questioning him it’s gonna be a waste of time.
“Where are you going?” He asked.
“To freshen up”
“Ok, hurry up, lunch is ready”
“You can have lunch without me”
“Nope! I wanna have lunch with my darling” he said.
“Well, you’ll have to wait then”
I turned back and took a glance at Mr Bright, he winked at me… I huffed!
Maybe I should tell him I’m leaving tomorrow, I don’t think I can get any evidence here.. I just hope he lets me leave.

Narrator’s pov 🧚
Caldwell walked into the living room immediately Melanie left, he dropped a beer in front of Lucifer.
“Mr Bright, why did you get her swing stuck?” Caldwell asked.
He’s referring to what happened at the park this afternoon, he knew it was his master’s doing.
“Why would you think I did it?” Lucifer replied his question with another question.
“Because you’re jealous” Caldwell stated.
Lucifer stared at him a few minutes and nodded.
“You’re right, I was jealous and acted on impose, but I also used it as a test” he said.
“A test?”
“Yes, I used it to test that church boy wether he’s one of my brothers”
Caldwell nodded.
“So, is he?”
Lucifer smirked.

Melanie’s pov 🧚
“This is simply the best pineapple pie I’ve had” Mr Bright mo-ned.
Ignoring his words, I reached for a slice of pizza on the table and took a bite.
My eyes closed momentarily as I chewed on it, letting it’s sweetness overwhelmed my taste buds.
“Ooh! I guess someone’s enjoying the food” he said.
He’s right, I never knew homemade pizza is very sweet and…
“This is how food are meant to taste like”
His words snapped my eyes open, I threw him a killer glare.. he quickly avoided my glare and continued eating.
He’s referring to the pancakes I made for him this morning, before I had left to the convent.
“I told you before, that I don’t know how to cook and you insisted I cook whatever I’m good at!”
“But you still couldn’t even cook the meal you claim to be good at” he grumbled.
I narrowed my eyes, frown lines appeared on my forehead and my l-ips tightly twisted.
“Then get Angelica to cook very sweet pancakes for you!” I snapped at him.
He stopped eating and lifted his head, he tilted his head and studied my expression.. then laughed briefly.
“Darling, calm down, I was simply complimenting the cook” he said.
I huffed quietly, complimenting the cook indeed.
Maybe it’s time I tell him about letting me go, after all, I’m simply sitting idle here.
Father Reed’s funeral is fast approaching, it’s two days from now and a lot of things needs to be done at the convent.
Mother Emily and the others will need all the help, also father Reed is my biological father.. I should be there.
“What are you thinking about so seriously?” He asked me.
“Let me go” I said.
“Let you go?” He asked again.
I nodded, I dropped my spoon and pushed the plate aside.
“I wanna go back to the convent”
“Why?”
Can’t he read my mind? Isn’t that what he always does? He should read my mind and find out why I wanna leave.
“I don’t wanna read your mind at will anymore, I don’t wanna invade your privacy” he said.
“At least you’ve gotten some sense” I said under my breath but I know he heard me.
He ignored my words and repeated his question again.
“Why do you wanna leave?”
“I.. I feel trapped here” I said.
If I tell him the real reason I wanna leave, he might not agree to it.
“You feel trapped?”
I nodded.
“Two days… you’ve only spent two days here, how did I make you feel trapped?” He asked.
I opened my mouth but couldn’t find the right words to say, what should I tell him?
“You’re leaving because of that little church boy, right?”
“Little church boy? How did Caleb get into this?”
He always relate everything to Caleb, why?
He stared at me briefly, then chuckled and leaned back on his chair.
“If I tell you that church boy is Cain would you believe me?”
My brows furrowed at his words, I stared at him as though he’s gone nuts.
“Cain?” I asked unbelievably.
“Yes, Cain from dad’s holy book” he answered.
“Holy book… Are you talking about the bible?”
“Yes”
My brows furrowed more, I reached forward and felt his temperature with my palm.
Is he mentally ill?
“I’m fine” he said.
“You mean Caleb is Cain from the bible?” I asked.
He nodded.
Is he joking?
I studied his expression closely to see if there’s any hint of mockery on his face, but there’s none.. he’s serious.
“Do you know how old Cain would be now if he’s truly alive?” I asked.
“Over thousands of years” he replied.
“Then do you think a man of 200 years would still be alive in this century? Talking more or less of over thousands of years?”
He got up, he headed towards a shelf in a corner and pulled out a blue file.. he dropped it in front of me.
“Open it and see for yourself” he said.
“What’s in,side?” I asked.
“You won’t know until you open it” he replied.
I glared at him a few times then open it.
I opened it and saw a black and white photo of Caleb in a newspaper, the newspaper seemed rather old.
“Check the date this newspaper was published” he said.
My eyes quickly located the date, my mouth fell opened and my eyes w¡dened in shock.
“October 27, 1913?!” I exclaimed.
“Yes” he answered.
This newspaper is so old, how did he get it? Are newspapers already in existence then?
“That was Caleb, don’t you wonder why he’s still looking so young?”
I looked at the photo again, it’s true that this person look like Caleb..but it might just be someone else who had his resemblance.
I understand something now, he’s trying to make Caleb look bad in front of me…why? what’s his motive?
“You must be trying to frame Caleb, this might be a coincidence!” I said.
“Oh? Really?”
“Yeah”
He scoffed.
“Can two people coincidentally look so much alike?” He asked.
“Yeah, it’s possible.. twins do look so much alike.. relatives also do look alike” I answered.
A lot of relatives resemble each other, we never can tell how wide and big our families are.
Take me for example, I never father Reed is my very own biological father.
“Darling, look closely, I can never lie to you or frame up anyone”
“Well, I say you’re lying on this one” I argued.
He stared at me, he scoffed unbelievably and shook his head.
“I know you wouldn’t believe me, but trust me that church boy is up to no good” he said.
Although he’s calm, but he sounded desperate as though he’s eager to make me believe him.
But how can I believe his ridiculous joke…his words are way too untrue. Even a kid won’t believe his nonsense…
“That little church rat has an ulterior motive befriending you…”
Oh, he’s change it from church boy to a church rat? Just how far can he go…
“…his friendsh¡p is not honest…”
“It’s none of your business, just let me go back home!” I cut him off.
He stared at me as if he’s hurt that I’m not believing him, but I don’t care about him.. I’ve heard enough of his nonsense.
“You don’t believe me?”
“No, your words are nothing but lies!”
He nodded and gulped, he blinked slowly.
“Do you think I have been lying to you?” He asked in a quiet tone.
“What do you think?” I asked him back.
He sighed deeply, then reached for a glass of water. He finished in one gulp and slammed the glass down.
“Well, let me tell you a truth then” he said.
I simply stared at him blankly, with one of my brows raised interestedly.
“I love you!” He blurt out.
“What?”
“I love you, I know I’m being blunt but it’s the truth”
Truth? He love me?
Is this one of his jokes?
Wait…why do I feel happy when he said that? Was I expecting him to tell me he love me? What am I supposed to say to him? What should be my response?
“Are you still thinking of being a nun?” He asked me.
“A nun…”
Do I still want to be a nun? Is being a nun really something I wanna do? I should really ask myself this question.
I’m a confused human, I don’t even know what I want.
“Do you still wanna be a nun?” He asked again.
“I…” I trailed off.
“If you don’t wanna, then be with me and I’ll protect you” you said.
“Protect me from what?”
He paused and stared at me, then shook his head sideways.
“You won’t believe me”
He must be referring to Caleb, well, I’ve known Caleb for a very long time now… he’s not a bad person.
“I wanna go home” I said.
“But I just confessed my feelings to you”
Feelings…
“I don’t care about your feelings, I’m training to be a nun and I don’t need any distractions. It’s best I leave”
His expression changed, he banged on the table and I flinched back…
I don’t know if I imagined it, but his eyes suddenly turned red for a split second…though I might have just imagined it.
“You think I’m a bad person, a lying bast*rd, but I’ve always been honest with you!” He growled.
His eyes flashed red again, they squinted murderously at me and I felt myself shiver in fear.
“You think I don’t want you to leave? I do!”
He just said he love me, now he want me to leave? Hold on, why do I feel sad at his words.
“I can’t guarantee what’s gonna happen if you leave, I don’t want to suffer unnecessary pains.. it’s best you stay here until I get somethings settled!”
“What are you getting settled?” I asked.
“You don’t have to know, but just know you’re not leaving this mansion!” He said firmly.
“Really?” I scoffed.
He thought he can hold me back in this mansion? Well, let’s watch and see about that!
“Thank you for your food!” I said and got up..I’m not an ungrateful person.
Then headed upstairs towards my room.

Narrator’s pov 🧚
He watched her storm off to her room, his heart broke at the look she gave him.. a disappointed look.
His mind flashed back to his conversation with Caldwell, a few minutes ago.
#_flashback
“Yes, I used it to test that church boy wether he’s one of my brothers”
Caldwell nodded, he folded his arms on his chest and frowned slightly.
“So, is he?” He asked.
Lucifer smirked, he shook his head but Caldwell knew he’s got something more to say.
“I found something more interesting about him”
“What do you found, sir?”
There’s a brief silence as Lucifer stuck a cigarette in his mouth, he pulled out a lighter from his pocket and lighted it.
“He’s Cain” he said, puffing out smoke.
“Cain?”
Lucifer scoffed and nodded, he threw his head back on the chair and inhaled.
“Yes, though he did a good job hiding his mark from humans, but he can’t hide it from me”
“I’m afraid, I don’t understand you, sir” Caldwell said.
Lucifer got up, he looked towards Melanie’s room, her door was closed.. he walked closer to the window and looked out.
“When Cain killed his brother, Abel.. dad placed a mark on him, it’s a curse and it means Cain would be hunted down by others”
“Then why is he still alive?” Caldwell asked.
He’s wondering why Cain would still be alive up till now, he stared at Lucifer curiously.
“I don’t know how he managed to survive or hide the mark, but one thing is sure… ” he trailed off.
His eyes moved towards Melanie’s door again, they stayed there for a moment before he tore his gaze away.
“.. he’s after my darling for a reason!”
“What do you think it is, sir?”
Lucifer shook his head.
“I don’t know, but I won’t let him use my Melanie.. he’s lived long enough and supposed to be dead”
“What should we do now?”
“Go, find out why he’s lurking around my mate”
He paused, his eyes turned red for a short moment and he balled his fist.
“If he’s up to no good, I’ll send him back to his creator immediately!”
“Yes, sir” Caldwell said bowing slightly, then he rushed out.
Lucifer headed towards his room, not before putting off his cigarette.
#_end_of_flashback
He shook his head, it’s so sad that she doesn’t believe him.
“Darling, I don’t wanna force you into believing anything, I’ll make you see who he really is.. that way you’ll stay away from him naturally” he said to himself.
His eyes lit up when a thought occured to him, he got up and walked towards her room.. he stopped outside her door.
“First things first, let’s make Melanie fall in love with me…”
He smirked and headed to his own room.

Novo’s estate…
“Young Mr Novo, you sent for me”
A man dressed in a guard’s uniform walked into the small office, he bowed before his boss.
“Yes, I want you to complete a little task for me” young Mr Novo said.
“At your service, sir” the man replied.
Young Mr Novo nodded, he held a photo frame in his hands and smirked as he stared at it.
“Something happened at the park today, Lucifer might have found out my real identity already”
“What?! Should I go assassinate him?”
Young Mr Novo laughed, he shook his head in disagreement.
“No, you can’t assassinate him, Bryant. After all, he’s the devil…also, I didn’t save you back then to waste your life for nothing”
Bryant stared at his boss with a confused frown.
“Young Mr Novo, it’s not for nothing.. he’s your rival in love”
“No, he’s not”
“What?”
Young Mr Novo laughed.
“I don’t love her, she’s just my antidote”
He dropped the photo and leaned back on his chair, his finger tapped on the table gently.
“What do you want me to do now?”
“She’s coming back to the convent soon, kidnap her and bring her to my secret apartment” young Mr Novo said.
“Yes, sir” the guard said and left.
Young Mr Novo stared at the photo frame sitting on the table and laughed.
“You’re beautiful, buy sadly you’re only my antidote…hehehehe!”
His sinister laughter boomed in the office, he slammed the photo down.

Melanie’s pov 🧚
It’s been five hours since I walked out on Mr Bright at the dinning table, I haven’t stepped out of my room since then.
I laid on my bed.. temporary bed.. and think about everything that’s been happening since I crossed paths with him.
Father Reed got killed, then I found out he’s my biological father.. Mr Bright k-ssed me.
His k-ss…
I recalled his k-ss and how soft his l-ips felt on mine, I didn’t know l-ips are so soft or is it just his l-ips?
Maybe I should k-ss him again and…
No! What are you thinking Melanie? Aren’t you training to be a nun? I shouldn’t be thinking about k-ssing people.
It’s confirmed, I must leave this place or my aspiration will be tainted.
My phone suddenly started ringing, I reached for it on the bedside table and saw Caleb’s name flashing on the screen.
I smiled, this is just who I need.
“Hey Caleb!” I called cheerily.
“Mel, how are…”
“I need your help” I cut him off.
“How should I help you?” He asked.
Caleb is my only choice, he can sure help me… staying here won’t do me any good.
“Help me escape” I said.
To be continued
