Lustful Paradise

After bidding his girlfriend and her mother goodbye, Lucifer made his way to a nearby hotel, where a helicopter waited to take him to a luxury farmhouse in the countryside, where all the crew members and cast were staying to do the shoot.

The first thing on his schedule was a briefing from Amanda and James about the scenes that needed to be shot.

He also needed to rehearse for the scene with Vanessa Cruz, the protagonist of this series. After that, he will participate in the actual shooting of the episode.

This was his first time acting in a web series, so he was eager to learn more about it and everything related to filmmaking in general.

As he looked outside through the helicopter window, watching the sun setting on the horizon and giving away the last rays of light before disappearing below the skyline. Lucifer couldn't help but wonder what his experience on the set would be like...

'Well, time will tell.' Lucifer thought as he watched the beautiful scenery passing by quickly while they flew through the sky at high speed.

A short moment later, the pilot informed Lucifer that it would take around three hours for them to reach the destination.

He just nodded at his words without uttering a single word before leaning against the back of his seat and closing his eyes to rest.

Around three hours later, when the helicopter landed at a remote area near a farm, the pilot informed Lucifer again.

After hearing his announcement, Lucifer thanked him and opened the door of the cabin before climbing down onto the grassy ground beneath him.

The weather was warm yet pleasant around here, unlike the city, where everything felt stuffy and humid. So it wasn't long until he started enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.

Looking over toward a small hill nearby, Lucifer spotted a large mansion situated atop its peak.

And surrounding the entire place were tall trees, giving the place a serene and beautiful look that could calm anyone's heart who comes to visit such a wonderful setting.

The moment he walked out of the helicopter area, two people approached him from the car waiting nearby with big smiles plastered on their faces, ready to welcome him inside.

One of them was none other than the actress, Vanessa Cruz herself.

"Welcome Lucifer! I see you're able to make it here tonight," Vanessa greeted him with a warm hug, then led him toward their car waiting outside, which would take both of them up the hill where all their crew and staff were staying at the farmhouse.

Lucifer nodded his head as he wrapped one of his arms around Vanessa's waist and pulled her closer to himself while walking to the car. "Of course, I promised you that I would come today, didn't I? But I didn't think that I would receive a grand welcome from you directly like this."

"Oh, don't mention it. If anything else, I am the one who should appreciate your presence; not anyone can get to make a connection with the son of Steve Reynolds, one of the richest people in the world." Vanessa replied with a gentle smile before leading him inside the backseat of their vehicle and closing the door after she sat right beside him.

As soon as their driver took his seat at the steering wheel and started driving, Lucifer asked, "So, you're being nice to me because my daddy is rich? Oh my heart. Why does everyone think of me as a meal ticket? Am I not the sexy man that can make everyone fall on their knees with just a wink?"

"Hahaha... Your cockiness is unmatched, isn't it?" Vanessa laughed while shaking her head. She seemed pretty amused by his witty reply to her words. "But you know what? People know about Steve Reynolds, not you. You are yet to leave an impression on the world that will overshadow the huge shadow left by your father in this world. You don't have any achievements that we know of as of now apart from your status as the managing director of a model agency and the role you played in the commercial ad, and the whole world got to know you due to your status as the son of a billionaire. That is, of course, unless there's something I'm missing..."

Vanessa had a point. Even though the modeling agency's business was flourishing, it still wasn't the greatest feat, and Lucifer didn't have anything to do with its success either.

It was Lisa who established it and had been nurturing it from its early days with her effort, hard work, and dedication. She was the one who deserved all credit for it.

And he had just taken this position and had become the managing director of Miracle Model Agency due to being her son, but he doesn't have any achievements that he could boast about.

Lucifer hadn't achieved anything significant by himself to date in his life so far, apart from the fame he got for his kiss with a supermodel in a commercial ad.

As for his father's business empire... He wasn't anywhere near the position of being a part of that world yet.

Still, if people knew about everything that had been going on behind the closed doors in their mansion...

Then perhaps their impression of him might change drastically overnight!

"Hahaha... It's true. You caught me there," Lucifer laughed as he ran his hand through her silky dark hair and looked into her mesmerizing eyes.

He then leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "However, I don't care about achievements, nor do I care about other people's opinions. If I want something, I'll do whatever it takes to make it mine. And no, I'm not saying this because of my father's wealth or connections."

As those words fell out of Lucifer's mouth, Vanessa couldn't help but feel captivated by his charismatic aura, especially when he spoke those words like a devil's promise.
