Eternal Melody

Chapter 1010 My Beautiful Monster Part 111

SUMIRE/NORAH

Sumire sat on the chair with the blankets wrapped around her naked figure, as she watched Lucifer cook. She woke up startled when she realized he wasn't there and panicked for a moment, when she heard the sound coming from the room next door. She didn't bother with searching for clothes. She wanted to see him as soon as possible.

'It's strange, why didn't he stay beside me? Even after he was disgusted with his new appearance due to the curse. I always woke up with him by my side. Ever since we first slept together, he has always-' Sumire paused as a theory came to mind.

Perhaps he has a mistress? It wouldn't surprise her. It was something she didn't get a chance to discuss with the current her. But there is certainly something off about this eighth life. Sora/Yuhi is still her soul bond partner, but the soul tree. There are different threads, leading to possibly a different fate.

If she chooses someone else, will the soul bond with Sora vanish? Or will it stay? Sumire sighs. There are still far many things she doesn't understand. She still has some leeway before the full moon, that's when she has to switch back. If it's Lex, there must be books here. She ought to do some research.

"Lex." Sumire started.

"Hold on, it'll be ready in a bit."

Sumire stood up and walked over as she hugged him from the back. Sensing her distress, Lucifer turned around. Switching the stove off, before focusing on her.

"What's wrong Norah?"

"I've missed you so much. But I need to talk to you about the last two lifetimes. About me and Sora-Yuhi." Sumire started.

When the current her offered to switch places, she decided this would be the best topic to start with. After all she saw the look in the eyes of her present self when she mentioned Sora.

"No." Lucifer's gaze dimmed.

"Lex, we have to. This is important."

"I said no." Lucifer's gaze dimmed further and the black shadows wrapped around his body grew more vicious. But, Sumire didn't flinch even when he suddenly tore the blanket from her body and started to kiss her in different parts of her body.

"Your mine Norah." Lucifer mumbled possesively as he bit her neck.

Hearing those words Sumire frowned and exclaimed.

"That's what I'm trying to say!! We met because I was looking for you!!! I only met Sora because I was searching for you. If you were by my side, I wouldn't have met him!"

Lucifer is quiet, but he stops biting her.

"I couldn't find you Lex. Do you know how long I searched for you? Do you know what I had to endure to find you?" Sumire yelled.

She doesn't want to blame him. It's not his fault, it's that curse. But, they haven't seen each other in so long and he is acting so strange around her. She expected an emotional reunion and while there were some tears. He is acting oddly.

At those words Lucifer flinched and sat them both up. He takes a deep breath as he places his hand on her shoulders.

"You met Lennon."

Sumire bit her bottom lip. "B-before I met Sora, yes I met Lennon."

If she just met him she wouldn't be so afraid. But once again, he took her repeatedly like a beast. "It was only one time, when I realized what he intended to do. I left my family a note and said I was going on a small journey. That's when I travelled to the different towns to search for you. But it was hard, a young woman travelling alone in those times."

Lucifer's gaze darkened. "It wasn't just Lennon? Who was it?"

Sumire shakes her head. "They are already dead. When I told Yi/Sora about them, they mysteriously died in an accident. The establishment that tricked me, and all the workers there died. Anybody who could have witnessed what happened is gone. Yi also shredded their souls, so I don't think they would have been reincarnated either."

Seeing how angry he was, Sumire almost sighs in relief. 'Even if he has a mistress, he clearly still has feelings for me.' She reaches over and caresses his cheek. She really has missed him so much.

Before she could say anymore, Sumire found herself crying.

Lucifer scoffed. "Of course he saved you, when I couldn't."

Sensing the bitterness in his tone. Sumire knew no matter how much she tried to explain, he wouldn't understand.

"Where were you? Why couldn't I find you? Why....did you leave me alone?" Sumire questioned as more tears fell from her eyes.

She hits his chest. "It's your fault Lex, I wouldn't have fallen in love with someone else if you were there. I wouldn't need too. But, I was so lonely. I suppressed the soul bond until mid way the seventh life and even when I accepted it I had doubts. I waited so long for you bastard, so you better stop this despicable behaviour of yours."

His anger suddenly faded and his expression looked pained. She almost took her words back, seeing him this way.

"Norah, my love. I'm so sorry." Lucifer kissed her eyelids and licked her tears away.

Sumire wakes up and sighs deeply. How did she fall asleep again? She knows she isn't used to being in this body yet. But, she has already spent most of her time sleeping. When she woke up earlier it was mid day. What frustrated her, was how he wasn't here again. She looks around for clothes, as much as she wanted to search for him and immediately seduce. Sumire knew she couldn't walk around with clothes.

While she searched Sumire found a note slipped in her hand.

My heart.

My love.

My wife Norah.

I'm going to be in a meeting

But I'll be within the grounds.

Her lips curved to a smile reading the note. 'I suppose that part of him hasn't changed.' Lex always knows how to cheer her up.

'Lex?'

Sumire called out through the bond. For a moment she was worried it wouldn't work. But Aoi did explain that the circumstances in the eighth life time is different.
