Chapter 325 - Destiny Brought Us Together

For a long time, Sera couldn't speak as no voice came out. After stabilizing herself, she coughed a several times and cleared her throat. Gulping her spit, she opened her mouth to speak, still crying.

"Lucifer.. I.. I'm so happy, so happy that you.. I.. I don't know what to say.. I'm sorry!!"

Choking on her words, Sera clung onto Lucifer's sturdy arms that held onto her shoulders as she sobbed. Her voice raspy.

Unlike Sera, who was all over the place, seemingly relieved as she tried to force out a smile with her head lowered. The stone-cold Lucifer was grinding his teeth, his hands on her shoulders tightened before he pushed the frail woman away. Her eyes, still wer with tears went wide as she gasped.

"How could you?"

Glaring at the clueless Sera with his red eyes that were filled with fury, Lucifer roared.

"Huh?!"

Ignoring the guileless expression on Sera's face as she silently questioned Lucifer's statement, the man blew his top.

"How dare you risk your life like this? How could you, Sera? Just what is wrong with you?"

Raising his voice, that was strangely quivering, Lucifer snarled gritting his teeth. His body shaking with unbridled anger that he was trying to suppress, lest he scares Sera off.

Nevertheless, the arctic glare with which Lucifer's steely gray eyes were glaring at her, a bitterness was seen in them and Sera's body involuntarily shuddered.

"Lucifer.. I.. Listen to me"

Her previously wildly thumping heart was at ease, yet the unfamiliar feeling of being reprimanded with such harshness by Lucifer made Sera gulp her spit and stutter her words out.

"No! You listen to me!"

Not bothering to let Sera talk back in her defense, Lucifer cut her off midsentence and bellowed. His dark brows that were knit together, twitching.

"Don't you know how dangerous what you did was? Don't you know the consequences for your risque actions? What the hell were you thinking?!!"

By now, Sera had already broken free from Lucifer's hold and he was now pointing his hand towards her, in rage. Her hands were sweaty, tightly clenched as she tried to explain herself but to no avail.

The man was blabbering non-stop, his voice nowhere soft and gentle like before. It sounded as though, he'd swallowed a mouthful of gunpowder.

"I know you love certain things, and it's your nature to help someone in dire circumstances.. But, why? Why did you do it? Why did you save me, dammit! Why?!!!"

When Lucifer asked why Sera had put herself in danger and saved him, a part of her heart shook, something seemed to stir and a slew of bittersweet emotions swirled inside her, filling her heart to the brim. Her throat choking, no words came out of her mouth as she lowered her head in distress.

"You had no idea who was inside the car, still you had to leap forward and jump into a pit of fire, mindlessly?! Is your head empty!!"

The hollering Lucifer was somewhat guilty seeing Sera as she stood with her head lowered, he tried to soften his voice to a certain degree. However, when she abruptly raised her head and there was no signs of remorse on her face, he began to chide her again with the same yelling tone.

For Lucifer, it's no doubt that Sera held an important place in his life, but that wasn't his main concern.

His main concern here was Sera's own life and the importance of it to her family, her friends, her dear and loved ones, who'd die a silent death if anything were to happen to her.

Just like how Lucifer and Ethan Lee had become when Mia had left them.

"Just what the fuck were you thinking by doing something like this? What about your family, your friends? Did you think about them? Risking your life like it's nothing important.. Like it's worth nothing to you!!"

This moment, the man who was almost jumping down Sera's throat, was not her lover who loved her to the moon and back.

Lucifer was now a brother!

A brother who had lost his sister, his family and his only kin.

Lucifer was now a son!

A son who had lost his parents whose love for him was in no way inferior, or lesser than their love for their own flesh and blood, Mia Chung.

"Luci.. Lucifer, I.."

Faced with this heavy outburst from Lucifer's side, Sera was startled and her tongue had become numb. Realizing the worry behind his sudden fulminating words, that were tinged with his guilt and disappointment, a pool of warmth rippled in her heart.

"What? Don't tell me you weren't thinking straight.."

Mindless of the minute changes in Sera's expression, Lucifer once again interrupted her midsentence with his own thoughts and was instantly cut off by Sera's sudden kiss.

Spellbound, Lucifer's mouth hung open when Sera yanked his collar and sealed his mouth with her own. Her soft lips molded perfectly against his as they danced on a familiar tune, albeit a little wildly. She was practically intruding in his mouth, forcefully.

Snapping out of his daze the man found himself responding with much more fervor, his hands wrapped around Sera's tiny waist. Her slender hands too, travelled upwards and she snaked her arms around his neck.

Almost chewing Sera's bitten red lips, the man vented all of his emotions into this passionate kiss while she entered into his mouth to indulge his moist and warm tongue.

Their restless hands were all over each other.

"It's.. Destiny.."

Panting, Sera mumbled in between their kisses, not planning to let go of Lucifer just yet. She kept kissing and nibbling onto his lips, his jaw and chin, while placing soft pecks on his cheeks as well. Her moist but bright eyes that reflected all his love, she stared into his gray orbs with a hopeful smile in them. Trying to make him believe that they're together for a reason, it's destiny.

"Destiny brought us together.. The first time we met, I had no idea who you were.. But still, my heart knew, my heart forced me to save you, back then.. I felt the same emotions that I felt today.. Lucifer, I love you and I'll risk my life a million times.. To see you well and alive, I'll do.. Anything.."

It was God's will, that's why Sera was always there for Lucifer whenever he's in danger, that's what she believed. She wanted him to accept that, and not blame himself for something that didn't happen in the first place.

They were both safe, with no injuries, then why should we cry over spilled milk instead of living in the moment, our best happy moments and create memories. Blissful memories.

"Hey! Did you really see Sera going this way? Are you sure?!"

Staring at the dark tunnel ahead, Maya frowned, inquiring with uncertainty. Her face was full of question marks as her doubtful gaze landed on the frantic looking Xav.

"Yes! Now keep your mouth shut.."

Sputtering coldly, Xav continued to walk with hurried, long steps. His brows furrowed with mild tension in between them.

"Brother.. I think you're just paranoid about.."

Clicking her tongue, Maya kindly provided her own opinion in the matter, helplessly.

"Noo.. I really think something's fishy with that racer, I don't trust him. Now that Sera is missing.. I'm feeling ill at ease just thinking about the crash earlier.."

Immediately interjecting Maya, Xav reasoned out his concerns. His expression turning heavy.

"Oi Xav, my bro! Relax!! It's Sera we're talking about here.. She can easily take down 50 men with just her hands.."

All of a sudden, Maya jumped in front of Xav and started with a wide smile, standing with her hands akimbo.

"Ssshh! What are you spouting so coolly?"

Xav's pupils dilated the moment he heard Maya, he hastily shushed her and glared daggers at her sorry little face.

"Oops! Sorry, my bad!"

Raising her brows, Maya smiled wryly and said sorry, she even mimicked the action of zipping her lips.

"I wish I'd zip your mouth permanently.."

Giving Maya a sidelong glance, Xav spat apathetically and continued ambling forward.

"Mhhmm uhmm ughmm uhmm"

Glaring at Xav's back, Maya childishly mumbled with her mouth clamped shut and eyes almost popping out of her skull.

"What?"

Turning around, a puzzled Xav quizzed after listening to Maya's unintelligible mumbling.

"If you zip my mouth I'll cut off your hands!!"

Chuckling darkly, Maya retorted with a smile in her pretty pair of chocolate brown eyes.
