Chapter 224: The Truth Amongst The Lies
I gently rested my head on the other side of the door as I listened to the guys talking outside. I knew there was no way I was going back to sleep, and I didn’t see the harm in listening in to their conversation...
But that plot twist? Not even I saw that coming.
"So," I murmured softly. "I am the original Devil, and Luci was trying to play dress-up."
If I looked back on our conversation, the things that didn’t quite make sense started to become clearer. Like the fact that she seemed to hate me. I was right to think that she was jealous because she was. I was the person she had been pretending to be for over 10,000 years.
And after all that time, she probably got too comfortable so that when I showed up, she had no idea what to do.
But the woman in my head seemed to have been different... she didn’t seem to hate me or was jealous of me. In fact, more often than not, she seemed proud of me.
The Father of Lies...
Well, now I was just pissed.
Whether Luci was who she said she was or if she was living a life in my shadow instead of the other way around, it didn’t matter. She was dead, her heart was eaten, and Hell was gone.
