Hi, Deckerstars! I apologize profusely for the extremely late update. This took me quite a while to write as I needed to work out a few kinks, for lack of a better word. This second chapter will be split into two parts. Hope you enjoy part 1 and remember: reviews good, flames evil!

The detective sat on the couch for what seemed like hours. She played and replayed Maze's words over and over in her mind, trying to make sense of it all and suddenly, it all fell into place. Lucifer, despite him being the Devil, has never hurt her. Well, he did hurt her by leaving Los Angeles without so much as a single word, but that's beside the point. Chloe didn't understand why he had to leave, but she's sure that he has his reasons for doing what he did. Maybe I should have a talk with him in the morning and tell him that I still love him and want to be his wife. The detective decided as she finished off her glass of wine and made her way upstairs to bed.

The next morning, Chloe drove to LUX after instructing Maze to take Trixie to school and rode the elevator up to the penthouse. The doors opened, and she called Lucifer's name. "Lucifer? Are you here?" The detective hollered for the umpteenth time but was once again met with nothing but silence. Her heart then skipped a beat as her mind went into panic mode. Please don't leave me again, Lucifer! I need you! Chloe thought as she searched every room in the penthouse, hoping to find her husband-to-be in one of them.

Coming up empty, she returned to the living room and plopped down on the couch, her face in her hands. Chloe then noticed something on the coffee table. It was a piece of paper with her name on it. The handwriting bears a striking resemblance to Lucifer's. The detective carefully took the note and opened it. As her eyes scanned over the words, tears began to form and blurred her vision. Why, Lucifer, why are you doing this?! I don't care that you're the Devil! I love you! Chloe thought as she broke down into heart-wrenching sobs. The note still clutched in her hand.

My darling Chloe,

By the time that you read this letter, I will have gone. I'm sorry for leaving you once again Love, but I can't bear the thought of you being married to a monster like me. I apologize from the bottom of my heart that you had to find out the truth about who I am the way that you did. I can only hope that with this revelation, you will forget about me and find someone who truly deserves you. I also release you from our engagement, so you are free to give your heart to a man who is not the epitome of all evil. Tell Maze, Beatrice, Ella, Dr. Martin and Detective Douche that I'm sorry. Please don't come looking for me. It's better this way.

Forever Yours,

Lucifer Morningstar

The detective cried for quite a while before chastising herself for crying and got herself together. I have to find him! He needs to know that I still love him! With newfound determination, Chloe left the penthouse and LUX, got into her car and drove like a madwoman to the precinct. When she arrived, she made a beeline for her desk and got to work on locating Lucifer. Ella and Dan stared at her with bewildered looks on their faces, but are afraid to say anything. They know that to disturb a determined Chloe Decker is a recipe for disaster.

Chloe managed to use the GPS on Lucifer's phone, silently thanking God that he hadn't thought to turn it off, and found his location. The detective then got up from her chair and speed-walked toward the stairs. As she was about to ascend the steps, she heard Dan call her name. "Where are you going in such a hurry? Did a case come up?" Chloe turned her head to face her ex-husband and said, "No, it's not a case. It's Lucifer. He's left again, and I have to find him before it's too late."

Dan wanted to say something more, but Chloe had already gone up the stairs and left the precinct. He then looked at Ella to see if the forensic scientist knows what's going on. Ella just shrugged and went back to her lab. She then sent a quick prayer that Chloe can find Lucifer soon. I'm not going to miss the wedding of the century! The lab tech thought as she went back to analyzing evidence.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the City of Angels, a black Corvette sped along the highway as the driver stepped on the gas as hard as he could. The former Prince of Darkness blinked back his tears as he drove along the freeway, taking him away from L.A. and his beloved detective. Why can't I have my happiness?! Can't the Devil finally have a chance at love?! Lucifer raged in his mind, sending a chilling glare up at the clear, blue sky. The Lord of Hell drove until the city all but disappeared behind him.

Suddenly, the Corvette began to slow down, sending the vehicle to a screeching halt in the middle of the highway. "Bloody hell!" Lucifer cursed as he realized that the car had run out of gas. "Thanks a lot, you cruel, manipulative bastard!" The former Lightbringer yelled at the top of his lungs. "I wanted to spare Chloe the cruel fate of being the Devil's wife, but you just had to put a stop to it, didn't you?!" Lucifer seethed, not noticing that a familiar-looking car had pulled up behind his.

Chloe managed to follow the GPS signal and found Lucifer just outside the city limits. She stopped her car behind his, turned off the engine and got out of the car. The detective heard Lucifer's rant, and her heart went out to him. She wanted nothing more than to throw herself into his arms and kiss him with all the love that she has for him. I can't do that yet. Not until he knows that I'm still in this. Chloe thought as she walked up to her former, nay, current fiancé and announced her presence. "Lucifer."

Lucifer stopped his ranting; his eyes widened as he heard her voice call his name. He turned around and saw her looking at him with such love in her sea-green orbs that a part of him wondered if he should throw caution to the wind and just be with this beautiful, enchanting creature that is Chloe Decker and cherish her for all eternity. The other part of him is saying that this is a result of his broken heart. A mirage conjured by it to taunt him.

The King of Hell took a deep breath and said, "Detective, why are you here? I explicitly said in my note to not come find me." Chloe let out a soft laugh and replied, "I guess that I need a refresher course in following instructions." Lucifer didn't share the detective's amusement, opting instead to staring her down with a stony expression on his face. "Why are you here? I released you from our engagement. You are free to love and marry whomever you choose." The Lord of Hell asked again. Chloe stepped closer toward him, closing the space between them with each step. She stopped a few inches away from him and said, "I love you." before placing her lips on his.

Lucifer stood ramrod straight as he felt Chloe's lips on his for the fourth time. He was tempted to return the kiss, to let her know that he loves her with everything that he has, but he pushed the detective away and whispered, "No, you don't love me. No one loves a monster." Chloe sighed, shaking her head at how stubborn Lucifer is being. You just had to fall in love with him now did you? Her mind chimed in flippantly.

Hey, you stay out of this! The detective retorted, effectively shutting her brain up. She then focused her attention on the Devil, determined to make him see sense. "I know you think that you're some monster. That everyone is afraid of you. Well, I'm not scared of you. I love you, Lucifer Morningstar and I want to marry you." Chloe began. The King of Hell quietly gasped at the detective's words, he wanted to say something to her, but the words were caught in his throat.

"I'm sorry for freaking out on you yesterday." The detective went on. "Seeing your true face took me by surprise, but now I know that it's still you beneath the devilish exterior." Chloe finished. She then reached out and took Lucifer's hand, placing it over her heart and said, "This beats for you and you alone. I will remain by your side come hell or high water." Chloe said with a loving smile.

The Lord of Hell looked from his hand on Chloe's heart to the detective as a warm, fuzzy feeling spread through him. My Chloe loves me. Lucifer thought. She truly loves me! He then took Chloe's hand and placed it over his own heart and said, "This beats for you as well, Detec...I mean, Chloe. I promise to stay by your side for eternity, come hell or high water." The detective smiled brightly at him and said amusedly, "I thought that brides were the ones who ran away. Never thought I'd see the day where there would be a runaway groom." The fallen angel chuckled at Chloe's comment and drew her into his arms. "Well, this groom is done running away." He said as he leaned in and kissed his soulmate as the sun shone brilliantly behind them.

See? I told you it would work out lol. Part 2 will be posted as soon as I get around to writing it. Be patient with me!
