His Sanity by Mirah Selim (best mystery novels of all time TXT) 📗

"Wake up boy we don't have any time now they have come to know about the location and now I have to end you right this moment. But before that, I want to hear your painful screams. Now come on open your fucking eyes." She said loudly but Lucifer didn't move making her sigh in frustration.

"You're such a pain in the ass." Saying that she walked towards him and was about to slap his cheek to wake him up but her wrist got caught by him in an insanely tight grip. She frowned trying to get rid of his grip but it was too strong. How can it be possible? He was so weak in the morning then how?

His eyes snapped up and the look in his eyes made her gulp. The way he looked it was like he wanted to suck her soul out and it terrified her. His eyes were darker and there was no vulnerability in them like in the morning.

He twisted her wrist making her yelp out. He sit on the floor and smirked at her. "Come on you bitch fight me." He snickered making her gulp down.

She raised her knife and was about to stab him when he grabbed the knife and punched her face making her fall on the floor screaming in pain. He smiled standing up on his weak legs.

"What did you say, weak huh? I am not weak you fucking bitch. Now come on get up fight me. You bitch fucking fight me now. I SAID GET UP." He said kicking her stomach two times but the blows were so hard that she felt like she was going to faint anytime.

"You wanna torture a boy 8 years younger than you right then fucking torture him now." He growled lowly as he grabbed the knife and was about to stab her when he heard the sirens and commotion outside.

He smirked seeing his sister's attention diverting to the police sirens too as panic started seeping in her. She tried to get up but he again kicked her stomach one more time making her lay there weakly.

"Now you will see what falling in your own pit means." Saying that he slammed his head against the wall groaning in pain. Blood started oozing out of his head he smirked feeling dizzy and then he cut his arms and made a light small cut on the side of his neck hissing a little.

Emilia was confused yet shocked to see his actions. Suddenly they heard the footsteps coming closer and Lucifer had laid beside her smirking. He grabbed her arms and pulled her in a sitting manner making her yelp in pain.

He forced her to grab the knife and placed it on the cut of his neck and in a second the room's door got slammed open. Emilia looked up in shock and before she could recover police already had shot her.

The bullet went right through her head and she fell dead on the floor with her eyes still widely opened. Lucifer's father ran to him and hugged him tightly as Lucifer acted like he was crying.

"Dad I am so scared. Please take me out I am so scared." Martin was shocked hearing the tone of his son. He never sounded so childish and kid-type yet he took him out but not before tearing up seeing his daughter's dead body.

She brought this on herself. Her parents wanted nothing but her betterment. They wanted her to recover from her obsession with power and wanting to conquer everything but she went too far and they knew this will be her end.

Police were given strict orders to kill her if she didn't cooperate with them even after making several announcements out of the building she still didn't hand Lucifer to them and instead tried to kill him so they had no other option but to kill her.

Lucifer turned his eyes towards his sister's dead body and a small smirk appeared on his lips while hiding in his father's arms. She did to herself and what she did to him before dying he knew she had awakened something in him that might never be able to shut off.

Flashback Ended

Catelin was speechless. She stared at Lucifer with wide shocked eyes. He caused his sister's death. No the aggressive side of his mind did.

"I was helpless. I am helpless. I can't control him. He comes whenever he wants. There are extremely rare moments when I used to control him but the second we came to this city he just isn't ready to let me control him again. That side of mine is insane and powerful and I can't do anything for my sanity to win against him."

He said making her look down. Now it was clear why he behaved like a kid for years. Because he didn't want his father to treat him like a puppet. But it wasn't true. That business and family properties weren't given to him to make him his father's puppet but instead, it was his right to be the next heir.

But the words his sister had said to him and the way he was locked up in that room, in the dark had fucked his mind. He had a fear of being used by his father and that's because of his sister's last words.

She was obviously lying but he was too young to understand her jealousy and got manipulated by her words turning him into a person his father wouldn't be able to get any benefit from.

Martin had always loved him and cared about him. But the words of his sister and the continuous reminder of them had made him believe that he will be used as a puppet if he become normal again.

His fear was undoubtedly impossible to get rid of. How can she get rid of it when she can't even assure him with words that his father loves and doesn't care about him handling his property? He just wants his son to become normal again.

"Fuck!" Catelin flinched when he suddenly cursed holding his head. He stood up making Catelin stand up as well. She stared at him in concern. She tried touching him but soon her eyes widened.

"LUCIFER." She screamed his name when his body on its own fell in the pool making a loud splashing sound.

Without thinking about anything she jumped in the water. She held his body but then realization hit her. She can't swim. She tried going up by flapping her legs but he was too heavy and her having no knowledge about swimming made it harder.
