The Devil and His Son" In a world where darkness reigns supreme, and the boundaries between good and evil blur, the Devil's greatest creation is not chaos or destruction-it's his son. Born in the fiery depths of Hell, Lucien is no ordinary child. With his father's cunning and a mysterious human heritage, he possesses powers that could either shatter the world or save it. But Lucien's life is not one of ease. As the heir to Hell's throne, he is both feared and hated by demons and mortals alike. When a prophecy foretells the end of all realms-Heaven, Earth, and Hell-Lucien becomes the key to preventing or fulfilling this destiny. Torn between his father's malevolent guidance and the rare love he finds among humans, Lucien embarks on an epic journey to discover his true purpose. "The Devil and His Son" is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, power and vulnerability, love and hate. In a world where everyone has their own agenda, Lucien must navigate a web of deceit, ancient secrets, and brutal battles to decide the fate of the universe itself. Will Lucien embrace his dark destiny, or will he forge a path of his own?

Chapter 1 Birth of Darkness

The air was thick with sulfur, the ground seething with molten rock. In the heart of Hell, where even the bravest demons dared not tread, something unprecedented was occurring. The sky, a constant swirl of fire and smoke, seemed to pause as if holding its breath. Deep within the infernal palace, hidden away from the prying eyes of Hell's denizens, the Devil himself stood over a fiery cradle, his eyes glowing with a mixture of pride and trepidation.

There, wrapped in shadows and flames, lay Lucien-his son.

Lucien was no ordinary demon. His birth had been prophesied eons ago, whispered among the damned, and feared by even the most powerful of Hell's rulers. The offspring of the Devil and a mortal woman, Lucien was a creature of two worlds, his very existence a violation of the natural order. His skin was pale, almost human, but his eyes burned with the fires of Hell, and tiny, sharp horns already protruded from his forehead.

The Devil, a figure of unimaginable power and malevolence, gazed down at his son with a rare flicker of something almost like affection. Yet beneath that veneer of fatherly pride, there was a deep, gnawing fear. Lucien's potential was immense, perhaps even greater than his own. The Devil knew that this child could either be his greatest triumph or his ultimate downfall.

As the infant Lucien opened his eyes for the first time, the flames around him flared violently, reacting to his untrained power. The Devil's hand hovered over him, the fire calming under his influence. The child was dangerous, even now.

"Lucien," the Devil whispered, his voice a low rumble that shook the very foundations of Hell. "My son. My heir. You will be the one to reshape the worlds, to bring the heavens to their knees and reign in an era of darkness."

Yet even as he spoke these words, a shadow of doubt crossed his mind. Lucien was still an enigma. His mother, a mortal woman of rare beauty and strength, had given him a humanity that was alien to Hell. The Devil had kept her hidden, a secret from the other demons, and now she was gone, lost to the mortal world she belonged to. Lucien would never know her, but the trace of her humanity lingered in his blood.

The Devil dismissed the thought with a sneer. What did it matter? Humanity was weakness, and Lucien would have none of it. He would mold the boy into a weapon, a force that would command fear and respect throughout all realms.

As Lucien grew, so did his power. From an early age, he showed signs of his unique heritage. He could summon flames with a thought, control shadows, and even manipulate the minds of lesser demons. The denizens of Hell spoke of him in hushed tones, both in awe and in fear. Some saw him as a savior, a figure who would lead Hell to its rightful dominion over all creation. Others saw him as a threat, a being too powerful to be controlled, even by the Devil himself.

But Lucien was still a child, and like all children, he was curious. He would wander the dark corridors of the infernal palace, exploring its endless labyrinths, seeking out the secrets hidden within its walls. One day, during one of his explorations, he stumbled upon a chamber he had never seen before. The door was ancient, inscribed with runes that pulsed with an eerie light.

Compelled by an inexplicable force, Lucien pushed the door open and stepped inside. The room was unlike any other in Hell. It was small and dimly lit, with walls lined with strange artifacts. But what caught his attention was a large mirror standing at the center of the room. Its surface was smooth and reflective, but as Lucien approached, the reflection it showed was not his own.

Instead, the mirror showed the image of a woman-a woman with gentle eyes and a kind smile. She was beautiful, her features delicate and serene. Lucien felt a strange warmth in his chest, something he had never experienced before. It was as if the woman was familiar to him, as if he had known her all his life.

"Who are you?" Lucien whispered, his voice echoing in the chamber.

The woman's image remained silent, but her eyes seemed to convey a deep sadness. Lucien reached out to touch the mirror, but as his fingers brushed against the surface, the image faded, replaced by his own reflection.

Confused and unsettled, Lucien left the chamber, the image of the woman lingering in his mind. He didn't understand the emotions that had stirred within him, but he knew one thing-there was more to his existence than he had been told.

And so, the seeds of doubt were planted in Lucien's heart, setting him on a path that would challenge everything he had been raised to believe.

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
