Hi there, my name is Lucifer and I think you know who am I already. I have gone by many names from the dawn of time- the prince of darkness, the serpent, Satan- the list goes on and on, and I didn't ask for these names but I guess it kinda grew on me. Well, at least it tells you all you need to know, I am the whole personification of evil. I'm sure you are familiar with the old story about my rebellion against dear old dad which led to a great war in heaven- blah blah, and in the end, my father cast me down from the heavens. What you haven't heard though is about a certain time when I lived among you humans as one of you. Shocker right? But yeah, I did, and the only way you could understand this story is if I start from the beginning so here goes, this story began in the city of New York, sometime around fall the year 2020... ** ** ** Dr. Henry Bates, a scientist researching interdimensional portals becomes accidentally possessed by Lucifer, Lord of hell and the prince of darkness after an experiment goes wrong. Now Lucifer is determined to understand what it is to be human, taking on the doctor's identity while he figures out what triggered Henry's portal to lead to hell in the first place. His decision would attract a lot of friends, enemies, lovers, and emotions as well as rekindle grudges that have been held since the great war in heaven. Would his ordeal he more than he bargained for or would life as a human be a walk in the park?

Doctor Devil Chapter 1 In the beginning- Part 1

*OCTOBER, 29 2020*

Doctor Henry Bates, a famous billionaire, and scientist sat alone in his office at the top of Omega Technologies, an organization is known for its groundbreaking researches in both science and technology. With just thirty minutes left to the unveiling of the organizations latest project- his lifes work, his eyes fixed squarely out the glass window, staring deeply at the nothingness of the evening sky.

The moon had risen reasonably in the night, partly lighting up the spacious room and adding to the uncertain mood the night already carried. A flat-screen TV hung up on the wall, displaying a news correspondent giving the news update. Although Henry had turned the volume low to avoid hearing what the news had to say, he could not help but listen to the woman on the news.

"We are coming to you live from Omega Technologies where quite the crowd have gathered for what everyone is calling the biggest step yet for mankind as they launch the MIRROR BRIDGE, a machine they claim could create inter-dimensional portals to anywhere in the universe. This project has been said to be the original research of Dr. Henry Bates, one of the lead scientists of the organization with over thirty percent ownership of the organization's shares."

"Dr. Bates, a physicist who was a graduate of Harvard University at the age of nineteen and had gotten two Ph.D.'s by the time he was twenty-nine, was recruited by Omega Tech shortly after. Still, Dr. Bates had risen from promise to prominence as he stands as a major shareholder and the current C.E.O of the Company. The whole project has been a mystery from the beginning due to concerns from the company that it could be hijacked by their competitors but that is all in the past now as the whole world is watching and waiting for the big unveiling. What is next for Mankind? One can only guess and hope for the best... Courtney Preston, Channel 6 news."

Henry scoffed. He always considered it funny how the press made things seem like there was no pressure when every fiber of his being clung on whatever outcome the night brought. He turned off the TV, tossing the remote back to the table before he made a shrug. It wasn't like the pressure got to him anyway.

After years of research and testing, the project struck all involved as auspicious in every way and he was willing to bet all he had to see it succeed. It was a compound process that involved the emission of beams of neutrons at an impenetrable wall. Usually, no neutrons should be on the other side of the wall but if the presence of neutrons is detected with the help of a neutron detector, it would only mean that they may have gone through the wall by oscillating into the mirror world becoming mirror neutrons and reappearing in this universe.

A couple of tests and experiments at various speeds later, the mirror neutrons were achieved, and Henry's theory was that an antimatter-induced fusion with the mirror neutrons would cause a reaction resulting in an open passage to the mirror world. The experiments carried out were on a small scale which resulted in no notion other than the theory was highly plausible. The only problem now was that antimatter being so unstable that a gram of the substance if not handled properly could cause a nuclear explosion.

Unlike then, Henry was willing to risk everything to make it work on a bigger scale. He believed it would and now the time had come to prove it.

Just as he reminisced on the key moments that had brought him so far, Anthony Huffman, his assistant walked in, plugging his brief moment of reflection. Anthony- Tony as he was fondly called by everyone was a young man in his early twenties, average in height with thick short hair. He was dressed in a black shabby suit and a pair of round glasses, fondling his fingers as he fidgeted into the room.

"Dr. Bates," Tony said as he pushed back the frame of his glasses to balance it on his nose. "It's time sir."

Henry heaved up a sigh as he got up. He took a moment to button up his jacket before turning to face Tony, his visage steaming with confidence.

"Let's go." He said with a smile.

Tony followed silently as they headed for the elevator.

"What about the helicopter?" Henry asked.

"It should be arriving in about in eight minutes, just enough time for your speech sir."

"Okay."

"Uhm, Miss Murphy called. She said her flight got delayed due to weather conditions and she wouldn't be able to fly in tonight. She'll take the first available flight back once the airline can travel." Tony said and studied his bosss expression.

"Okay," Henry said after a little hesitation as the elevator commenced its downward trip.

Tony pushed back his glasses once more. He understood he was trying to starve out any distractions that could prevent him from achieving the nights goal.

"Are you ready for this?" He asked.

"To be honest, no," Henry admitted mildly. To Tony, his firm composure seemed to betray his words.

Alright, Tony said then returned his stare to the elevator buttons.

The crowd below roared in applause as soon as they sighted Henry. He returned their warm welcome with a wave as he took his position before the stage stand. Tony stood behind him as well as a few other members of the company's board. The crowd's uproar gradually died down with a firm raised hand hinting he was ready to speak.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Good evening. Today marks a phenomenal breakthrough in the history of science as we know it, but I want to start by asking this question, do you dare to dream? Do you dare to make all your wildest imaginations become reality? I'm sure you do." Henry said after a brief pause. "And right here at Omega Tech, we work tirelessly to make your dreams come true. Imagine wanting to be in another continent, let's say Asia for example, and only having to do so in just three steps."

Murmurs of awe dispersed around the whole crowd.

"Okay, okay, I think I'm getting ahead of myself... Or let's say you are late for that job interview you desperately need, or your wife's water just broke and there's traffic... My fiancƩe couldn't make it tonight because of the weather at Washington." The crowd immediately showed their sympathy with an 'Awww'.

"Yeah, but what if I told you all those obstacles would mean nothing with the Mirror Bridge. Ladies and gentlemen, what will be achieved through the mirror bridge today could dawn a new era in transportation, and with further research inter-dimensional travels would be possible."

Just then, a chopper began its descent, a notable imprint of the company's logo on its sides and Henry knew he had to round up his speech. "Now I want to take this moment to appreciate my team- they are all at the site right now, but I bet they are watching this. They are the best and I believe they would want me to end it all on this- Keep dreaming, if you can dream it, then it is possible. Thank you." He said finally with a nod which only seemed to raise the noise of the crowd as cameramen took photos and reporters threw questions from all sides. Luckily, security had lined up on the pathway to the helicopter for such happening, and as Henry and his assistant headed for the helicopter, none of the crowd could get to him.

"Good evening doctor." The pilot said as soon as they were settled.

"Good evening," Henry replied. "Take us to the site."

The site, located at the edge of the city was just another Omega lab facility where bigger experiments were carried out away from the city's residents.

Dr. Bates and Tony alighted from the helicopter immediately it landed and headed for the control room. Everyone was about to jump to their feet in a show of respect but Dr. Bates wouldn't let them.

"No, no, no, remain on your seats." He said as he walked to the center of the room where Karen, another senior scientist in Omega Labs and a part of his elite team stood.

"Karen," He said spreading his arms wide for a hug. "How'd I do?"

"You did good Henry." She replied with a smile. "You even got through to some of us here; we are all hyped up and ready to go."

Henry smiled in delight as he stared at the monitor screen.

"Okay then, let's make history people. Launch it!"

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."
