Chapter 59 - Counter Plan!

**Lucifer's POV:**

A letter caught my eyes which was lying on her bed.

I took it and my hands started to tremble as I opened the letter.

***Dear Lucifer,***

***No matter whatever you told me, I still love you. No matter how much horrible you are, you are still my first love. The man I truly ever trusted. It hurts so bad to know that all along you have only loved my body. I am very sick, Lucifer. I think, I won't live many days. If you hadn’t told me how you truly felt about me, I could at least die with a happy memory of you, happy memory of us. Because I will die soon anyway. But it pains me more now. I may love you but it doesn’t give you the right to give me to anyone else. I am my own person. I am leaving, Lucifer. Don’t try to find me. And even if you find me, let me take the last breaths of my life in peace.***

***Camelia.***

"Goodness! Camelia!" My heart clenched in intense pain as I read the whole letter. Some words of the letter were blotchy and smudged. These were from her tears.

"It was all lies. To save you. Why didn’t you just wait a bit?" I fell on my knees in distress.

"I was about to tell you the truth!" Cries left my mouth in loud howls.

It wasn’t a moment to get emotional. I quickly called Ryder.

"Ryder, Camelia left the house. She took her phone with her. Track where she is and also find out whom she contacted last before leaving. Her call list, messages, FB, Instagram- everything! She must be found!" I ordered him, my voice came out frantic and urgent.

One hour later, Ryder called me himself.

"Hello, boss. Ma'am Camelia went to her friend Laura's house and right now she is staying there. Laura was also the last person she contacted with. Her mother is a dermatologist, so she assured her that she could help Ma'am Camelia with her treatment." Ryder informed me.

I felt a little relieved. I ran a background check on Laura before. She was from a decent background and seemed harmless.

"Ryder, assign some guards to guard Laura's house. But tell them do it secretly, don't create disturbance for Laura's family. If Devin gets to know about it, he may want to create mess again." I ordered him.

"Okay, boss. And another thing," Ryder mentioned.

"What?"

"I don't know the reason, but right now Devin is staying in Ukraine. He is not in Russia." Ryder said.

"Why?"

"Boss, I couldn’t get the info yet." He answered. Hearing him, I cut the call.

Right now, Devin was staying at Ukraine and I had time till tomorrow night. I had to stall him.

I would never send my preciosa to him, to that horrific monster. I already made my plan and was only praying for it to work out.

I didn’t get much time and I needed some special elements to carry it out successfully.

I was pacing impatiently but another ring interrupted my thoughts. It was from one of my investigators. He was calling me from Russia.

"How's the situation?" I questioned.

"Hello, boss. He told us. But I am not sure if he told the truth. It seems like Devin blackmailed him. At first, he was reluctant but after showing him the suitcase filled with money, he told me many things."

"Money can buy everything, even loyalty when it comes to lowlifes like them." I remarked.

"Prepare our men and send them where Devin is staying. First, contact the person and take it from them. Doctors and scientists here can manage the rest. Send it as soon as possible but don't create any suspicion." I instructed.

"Yes, boss. We are already prepared. Devin assigned his men from random places because recently he lost protection from Russian Mafia. These men he got are not loyal. They will work for anyone if gets higher payment."

"Why did he lose protection from Russian?"

"Boss, he formed an alliance with them by lying about that he would help them in sex trafficking business and smuggling drugs in America. How can he help them boss when he himself is nothing but a rootless tree here? But later Russians found out that he was lying. Devin narrowly escaped from there. His only hope is getting back to America using Ma'am Camelia as leverage."

"I see."

"That means he is trapped in Russia."

"Yes, boss. And Spanish Leader Rulf contributed in this exposure. So, boss, Russians are also searching for him. Devin is desperate to return here."

Oh. Rulf didn’t tell me about it.

For someone like Devin who lost all his power, he is still pretty ambitious.

I thought.

..........................

Ryder called me again and informed me that my preciosa's condition worsened. She was having frequent vomiting.

She was admitted to a hospital by Laura's parents. I couldn’t do anything.

Thank God that it was one of the best hospitals in Chicago. Laura's mother herself was a dermatologist of that hospital.

The lady tried her best.

At first, I went to the hospital, to see my preciosa. But she needed the medicine as soon as possible. I came out of the hospital building and drove to my warehouse.

Camelia's condition was getting worse and I couldn’t wait anymore. This was not time of ego.

I called Devin.

"Hello, Lucifer? When are you sending her?" It was the first thing he asked as he picked up the call.

I clenched my jaw and controlled my anger somehow.

"Where are you now, Devin? I will send her to you by tomorrow night. But to get back to America, you first have to prove it to me that Camelia was given the medicine." I stated my condition.

"You are in no condition to bargain with me." He uttered arrogantly.

"And neither you are, Devin. I know everything about you."

He stopped.

"I will send Camelia tomorrow. You will give her the remedy and after I see signs of her getting well, I will step down. And if I don't keep my words, Camelia is yours to do anything you like."

"Okay. Send her tomorrow."

"Give me the address where would I bring her? She is too sick to move, so I will bring her through an air ambulance."

"I am giving you an address where you are to bring her in."

After getting the address, I hung up.

He was clever and sent a random address.

Whatever! I knew where he was hiding!

.......................

**A few hours later, **

I got a call from Tris. She was a doctor and worker of my organization.

"Hello, boss. We found two girls and one of them is 21 and another one is 19. And I am sending photos of them. I have already brought them to the warehouse. If you come and see them, then we can decide whom to choose quickly." Tris informed.

She sent me two photos of two girls who almost looked like Camelia. If someone looked at them, he might mistake them as Camelia.
