The classic black Corvette roared down the street. His eyes focused straight ahead. He was determined to find out who was trying to take his daughter's inheritance. It wasn't just for Persephone. But Joanie also. Despite everything that had happened between them. Lucifer still loved her.

He pulled into the lot of the precinct. He hadn't spoken to Detective Decker in a few weeks but he was hoping she would help him. After his bout of depression, he helped her on a case but a disagreement caused a bit of a falling out. He buttoned his jacket and walked inside.

When the elevator dinged he walked towards her desk. He was stopped by his pal, Detective Douche. The other man's blue eyes glared at the Devil. Lucifer merely returned it. "What are you doing, here?" Dan sneered.

"To report a crime. That is what you people do here, isn't it?" He started towards Chloe's desk. But felt a hand on his arm. He wanted to swing at the man but maintain his composure. He wasn't here to cause a scene.

"There are plenty of officers. Stay away from Chloe." His voice sounded threatening.

"Are you honestly threatening me? Here?" Lucifer tutted. "Surely you aren't that dumb, Daniel. No I just need a favor."

"Yeah. What else would you need?"

Lucifer noticed someone approaching the two of them. He smiled. "Detective, so nice to see you."

Chloe folded her arms and glared at both of the men. She turned her blue eyed gaze to Lucifer. "Is it? I haven't heard from you in weeks."

He sighed. "So sorry about that. I wasn't quite myself. But I am better now."

"What do you want, Lucifer?" Chloe glanced at Dan. "I got this Dan."

Dan scoffed but walked away. His eyes glued to Lucifer.

Lucifer watched the other man walk away. He returned the glare. Then he turned back to Chloe and allowed a smile to spread across his handsome face. "I need a favor."

Chloe threw up her hands. "Of course you do. And you expect me to drop everything to help you. Sorry." She turned to walk away.

Lucifer promptly followed her. "Detective."

She sat down at her desk and pretended to stare at the computer screen. She noticed him standing over her. His dark brown eyes pleading to her.

"Look, Chloe. I am sorry." He said softly.

She looked up at him. "What did you say?"

"I am sorry. Look, I shouldn't have gone overboard with that suspect. You almost lost the case because of me. I'm sorry."

Chloe laughed. "Wow. Lucifer Morningstar is sorry about something. I should have recorded that."

Lucifer sighed heavily. He would normally return her slights. But right now his mind was on helping his daughter. "Now, will you help me? Its more for Persephone than me."

Chloe leaned forward. Her blue eyes regarding him. "It depends."

He held out the legal papers in his hands to her. "Someone is claiming to be her sister. On her mother's side. Not mine. She is suing for a significant portion of Persephone's inheritance."

"I didn't know she had a sister." Chloe remarked as she took the papers.

"She doesn't."

"How do you know? Joanie could have had other kids."

"She didn't." Lucifer was growing impatient with these questions.

"How do you know, though?"

He scoffed. His dark eyes meeting hers. "Look, I know it may come as a shock to you. But I loved Joanie. We had an actual relationship. She would have told me if she had other children."

Chloe looked up at him. She could see sincerity. "Well, this is a civil matter. What do you want me to do?"

"Look into this woman. Do a background check? Please." He used his nicest smile. He tried to ooze charm. But he knew his charms didn't work on her. He tried anyways.

"I'll look into it."

"Fantastic." He dropped the papers on her desk. "I have to run. Give me a call if you hear anything." Lucifer turned and walked away. Ignoring Chloe's protests.


He found himself sitting in the waiting room of Dr. Linda's office. It wasn't one of his normal appointment times. But he needed to get a few things off his chest. The doctor had a little time. He was patiently sipping tea while he waited for her. Finally, the door opened and a fat curly haired man walked out followed by the doctor.

"I'll see you next week, Phil." She then turned to Lucifer. "Hello Lucifer."

He stood up and watched the other man leave. He smiled his brilliant smile to her. "Hello doctor. So kind of you to see me on such short notice."

She nodded and let him into the office. She was still apprehensive around him. Ever since the day she learned his true identity. She still lusted for him. But now there was a little fear mixed in. Like if she didn't comply, he would retaliate.

They sat down. Lucifer on the couch. For a moment they were silent. Then Dr. Linda sighed. "So, what can I help you with today?" Her voice a little shaky.

Lucifer could sense the woman's fear and apprehension. He felt guilty for having scared her. "I wish you weren't afraid of me." He said softly.

She shifted in the chair uneasily. "It's a lot to get used to."

"I know. But you have to trust me. I would never hurt you."

She sighed. "I'll do what I can. So your daughter is in town? How is that going?"

He nodded. "Great." He pulled out his phone. He scrolled through till he found a photo of Tristan. He showed the doctor the picture.

"Oh, he is a cutie."

"He is the most handsome child; I have ever laid eyes on." He smiled as he looked at the photo.

"So, you are quite fond of him." She was little surprised. He didn't like other children.

"More than fond. Oh, the things I am going to teach him."

"How are you getting along with your daughter?"

"Same as always. She pushes my buttons. We argue. We make up." He smiled. "She is very headstrong. She won't let anyone get in her way."

"And that angers you?" Dr. Linda asked.

Lucifer shook his head and leaned back on the couch. "No. That's one of the things I love about her. She isn't going to let anyone walk all over her." He regarded the blonde doctor for a moment. "Besides that's not why I am here."

"Oh?"

"No. A lawyer came into Lux. Apparently there is a woman masquerading as Joanie's daughter. She is suing Persephone for a significant portion of her fortune." He paused for a moment. Making sure the doctor was following.

"And this angers you? Are you sure Persephone is her only child?"

He exhaled. "Yes. She would have told me otherwise. I spent a significant amount of time with Joanie."

"Oh."

"I loved her. I don't know why people act so surprised that I actually am capable of real love.'

"Well, Lucifer it's difficult to reconcile the image of the Devil with- "

"With real love." He added on. He could feel a bit of anger rising. Turning his attention to the windows for a moment. Shaking his head. "I know it's difficult to accept. But I loved Joanie. And I love my daughter. Persephone is the only one I love more than myself."

Dr. Linda sighed. "It shows. The way you talk about her. "

"Well, it's true. She is my light." He took a sip of water. "This woman trying to con her way to her money vexes me. She is messing with the wrong family. I don't like what it says about Joanie. Everything you read about her in the tabloids past and present. None of that is the real Joanie. I knew the real Joanie. Even when she got into the drugs." He paused. He was feeling the emotions of losing her again.

Dr. Linda watched his face as he spoke of Joanie. It was clear he was being honest. It was clear that she was another person whose loss affected him significantly. "What are you going to do about this woman?"

"I asked Detective Decker to look into her. I want to get in front of this. Persephone is here on vacation. She doesn't need to worry about this."

"It's admirable that you want to help your daughter. But are you sure that the woman's claims are false?"

"Yes." His voice was laced with irritation. "Why does everyone keep saying that? Joanie wasn't a whore." He practically yelled. He sighed when Linda jumped with fear. He put his hands up. "I'm sorry."

She put her hand on her chest. "Okay. I get it. Maybe you need to direct that anger into getting to the bottom of this."

"That's what I was planning." He sat in silence for a moment. Then he rose from the couch. "I have to go now. Thank you for your time, doctor." He went for the door.

"Hope it works out, Lucifer. For you and Persephone."

Once he was back in his car his mind wandered back to Joanie. In all his thousands of years of life, she had been the one woman he had felt true love for. He had wanted to marry her. But what woman wants to marry the Devil and live in Hell? When she had found out who he was, she was so angry. It was after their daughter was born. She pushed him out of her life. But he never stayed away. He vowed to never leave Persephone. Joanie slipped further and further into a spiral of drugs and alcohol. He always felt guilty for that. The day he found her dead, had broken his heart. He couldn't bring her back. But he made sure their daughter was safe.

He was going to get to the bottom of this. No one was going to drag Joanie and Persephone through the mud. No one. This woman would pay.
