Unable to face the possibility of encountering them at work, Alyssa called in sick, retreating further into the safety of her own home. The walls of her house became her sanctuary, shielding her from the outside world and the turmoil that awaited her outside.

But even in the solitude of her own home, Alyssa couldn't escape the relentless tug of her thoughts. The memory of Ray's warning lingered in the back of her mind.

With each passing day, Alyssa found herself sinking deeper into despair, her once bright spirit dimmed.

Lucifer's keen eyes narrowed as he took note of Alyssa's prolonged absence from work. He couldn't shake the nagging feeling that Remial, or Ray as he was known in his human guise, had said something to Alyssa that had prompted her sudden retreat.

As he pondered the situation, a frown creased Lucifer's brow. He knew that Remial wouldn't divulge their true nature to Alyssa outright; that would be too risky, even for him. But whatever Remial had said seemed to have struck a chord with Alyssa, enough to keep her away from work for an entire week.

A sense of frustration simmered beneath the surface as Lucifer contemplated his next move. He needed to find out what Remial had told Alyssa, to gauge the extent of the damage and determine how best to proceed. Alyssa was not just an ordinary mortal; and Lucifer was determined to keep her within his grasp, no matter the cost

With a flick of his wrist, Lucifer summoned one of his loyal minions and issued a command. "Find out what remial told Alyssa am sure he told one of my brothers and sisters," he ordered, his voice laced with a steely determination. "I need to know what she knows , and I need to know it now."

Ramiel, shrouded in the protective veil of his angelic form, kept a vigilant watch over Alyssa's house from a safe distance. His keen eyes scanned the surroundings, ever watchful for any sign of danger or intrusion.

Despite his desire to get closer and ensure Alyssa's safety, Ramiel knew the risks of drawing too near to Lucifer's domain. The hellhounds prowled the streets like sentinels, their keen senses attuned to any trace of celestial presence. To reveal himself would be to risk discovery, and Ramiel could not afford to jeopardize his mission.

As Alyssa went about her day, a lingering sense of unease gnawed at the edges of her consciousness.

Alyssa couldn't shake the sensation of being watched. Each time she glanced out the window or ventured outside, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone—or something—was observing her from afar.

With a furrowed brow, Alyssa scanned the streets for any sign of unusual activity, but there was nothing out of the ordinary to be seen. Yet the feeling persisted.

Lucifer materialized in front of Alyssa's house, a sense of urgency gripped him, driving him forward with a determination born of desperation. With a flick of his wrist, he shrouded himself in his human disguise, masking his true identity from mortal eyes as he approached her door.

His heart pounded with anticipation as he raised his hand and knocked, the sound echoing through the stillness of the evening air. Each moment felt like an eternity as he waited for Alyssa to answer, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts and possibilities.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the door creaked open, revealing Alyssa standing on the threshold, her expression a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. For a fleeting moment, Lucifer's resolve wavered.

But then he squared his shoulders and met her gaze head-on, his features carefully schooled into a mask of calm. "Alyssa," he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil raging within him. "How are you feeling I miss you at work these past few days.

Alyssa didnt know what to say as she opened the door and found luke standing their her mind replaying rey warning.

Luke looked at her questioningly "Aren't you going to let me in?"

As Alyssa stood at the threshold, her gaze locked with Luke's, a surge of conflicting emotions swept through her. But despite her reservations, there was a part of her that longed to trust him, to believe that he was the person she thought he was.

As Luke's words pierced the silence, Alyssa hesitated, her mind racing as she struggled to make sense of the turmoil within her. Part of her wanted to invite him in, to hear what he had to say and perhaps find some clarity amidst the chaos. But another part of her was wary, afraid of what truths might come to light if she let her guard down.

After a moment's hesitation, Alyssa stepped back, allowing Luke to enter her home. "Come in," she said softly, her voice betraying the uncertainty that churned within her.

As Luke glanced around Alyssa's house, taking in the familiar surroundings with a sense of curiosity, his gaze inevitably returned to her, the uncertainty in her eyes impossible to ignore. A pang of unease tugged at his heart as he sensed her discomfort.

Unable to ignore the elephant in the room, Luke spoke, his voice tinged with genuine concern. "Alyssa," he began, his words careful and measured. "I can't help but notice you seemed... afraid of me now. Is everything alright did I do something to make you feel this way?"

Alyssa's heart clenched at Luck's question, torn between her desire to be honest and her fear of causing further discord between them. She struggled to find the right words, her mind racing as she weighed the consequences of her response.

Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Alyssa finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "Luke," she began, her words cautious and measured. "I... I don't know how to explain it, but... something happened, and... I just... I don't know what to think anymore ."

Her voice trailed off, the weight of her uncertainty hanging heavy in the air between them. She longed to confide in Luke, to share the truth of Ray's warning and the doubts that plagued her mind. But she couldn't bring herself to utter the words, afraid of the rift they might create between them.
