Please do not stop on my behalf

Alicia's p.o.v

Balling my fists and giving Devlin a well faked smile,I left the room.Going into the restroom,I fished out my phone from my bag and dialed my lover's number.

He picked on the first ring " situation report" came his deep bass voice.

Alicia's eyes said, tight-lipped smile." Devlin's got the girl and she is showing herself to be a nuisance,what should I do next?

He chuckled lightly," relax babe,let their relationship blossom till we can get one and use it to kill the other,but I leave her in your capable hands,I sent her boyfriend to her home which I will call him back.

"She has no idea that it isn't her boyfriend right?

I made sure of it,she has no idea the current boyfriend is just a puppet.She knew he was shaking his thighs in well controlled amusement.

She isn't bothered about that right now and she looks like if she has the opportunity she would blast both I and Devlin's head off. In reality she was quite afraid and she said that to gain a small encouragement from her lover.

The man on the phone,shushed her," you are afraid of a bird that hasn't known when to fly,you are way past that behavior,Ali.

She smiled faintly for the little encouragement ."she is bent on arresting devlin and he now knows that I know his secret and is quite wary.

"Devlin is not a fool,he would avoid that at all cost. your work is to wait, gain his approval which I know his demon side already approved and strike.

And what do I gain from it? She asked.

" A small percentage of wealth,my love,and queen when I take the over demon realm and visit earth and watch them fall on their knees for you as my queen with no objections whatsoever,his voice low.

Her breath came in rapid,his queen,she a queen of the demon realm! Oh.. she squealed internally,she would first of all deal with that pompous detective from the gutter.

Hesitating in her thoughts,Devlin had asked her to deal with a boy called Lucas, a big business tycoon who was once Devlin's friend.but that would clash with her lover's plan,Lucas was their errand boy.

The detective boyfriend and her sister whom Alicia had never seen where in cohorts with each other. She wondered what her lover was communicating with detective sister using the boyfriend puppet.

Well she would do her part for the power,she had lied to Detective mirabelle when she said she loved devlin.she grinned pleased with herself.

Checking her appearance in the mirror,she gasped at her reflection,she gasped." Oh what a beauty I am,how could Devlin not see this?

Walking out of the restroom,she went into the kitchen to check if he had again rejected her food and found it empty,she stood looking at the empty food pot too stunned to make anything out of it.

Had he eaten the food? Why would he eat it today of all days,well..she had wanted him to eat it so why was she now asking herself if he ate it.

She shaked her head muttering, covering back the pot,she silently ventured to the room where he had kept the captive detective and saw him giving the food to...her!

Fury so raw she tasted it,she wanted to go in there and break the plate and pour the food on the detective, having Devlin feed her like she couldn't do it herself.

Alicia had broken out in sweat when she was preparing the food, burnt a lot and had to perfume the entire house before Devlin got back,only to have it given to s...she!

It was like mirabelle knew she was standing there and winked.

Damn her! Alicia fumed and was about entering the room to confront them when the door bell chimed.

They had not heard it, because they were obviously using their eyes to attack each other,Devlin's finger was stained with his blood though they were in a dark room,yet he didn't withdraw his hands.

Were they playing cannibalism now? She asked herself puzzled,with an exasperated sigh she went to answer the door.

She would go to her lover tonight and not suffocate on the two idiots in the room.she opened the door to find his father and....Sh...Sheila!

Devlin looked so much like his father but the height and pale skin was not from him.he seemed shocked to see her too and so was Sheila.

Just great,she muttered and stepped back, they came in.she didn't bother going to call Devlin Instead she called but it was a shout,she hoped the idiot would hear as it seemed he was lovestruck now.

A few minutes had passed before Devlin came down,eyes narrowed as it zoomed in on his father and widened further when he saw the girl called Sheila,the Sheila in question was gorgeous quite alright and she did well to conceal her emotions this time.

"Father! Devlin in low voice barely audible.

Well,said the father a man of 65 years,who eyed Alicia." I said I should come pay a visit to my son who can't visit his aged parents,eyes now looking at Devlin.

Devlin hummed,an evil glint coming into his eyes, demon spirit was back." I really appreciate it,what can my wife get you and..

"My gorgeous girlfriend,Sheila and soon to be wife.said devlin father now sporting a slightly bulging stomach.hands playing with Sheila's.

Alicia who had a glass pressed against her lips watching the interaction between them almost choked on the glass.

Devlin was already at her side,patting her back ever so gently, whispering.what the hell was he whisphering? Words of comfort?,she raised her eyes to look at him only to be faced with eyes filled with the most ever convincing worry.

She stopped coughing and settled down returning his worry look with her fake gratitude own.

He stepped away a few steps but not too far from her." Congratulations in advance to my- would - soon to be..

Alicia found herself cutting him off," soon to be,not would soon to be .. darling ,to ease the way she had cut in.

Devlin turned a furious glare in her direction, Alicia breathe in fear,she averted her eyes.

Thanks wifey, voice said in a clipped tone,soon to be stepmother.

Sheila had the guts to smile.so what was going to happen to my mother exactly? Devlin said a smile plastered to his face.

Was he seriously happy about this? Of course demon spirit was the one at work,she loved demon spirit right now not the coward Devlin himself, behaving like a saint he wasn't.

"Well I plan to divorce her, she's too old to do the things I want,said Devlin's father sipping his champagne unbothered.

Good,good Devlin applauded,I was even thinking of telling you, congratulations father.

The father smiled,eyes beaming.

Alicia turned to face Sheila and found a look of disgust in her face,she stared at father and son like they had gone nuts.

" Sorry to interrupt,but have you seen my sister,it is not like her to just disappear and not give us an early notice of it. Sheila worry evident in her tone.

Devlin faked the most compassionately looking expression." Oh dear, that's not a good thing,but I would try to help you locate your sister,I really would help.

Devlin's father squeezed Sheila's hand in a comforting gesture" let me know if she isn't back,I wouldn't want to see the worry in your face,it saddens me, love.

Devlin nodded and hummed yes let's us know,what about her team? He asked one perfect eyebrow up.

"They said until she was still missing for the next twenty four hours they wouldn't start a search.

Alicia who had her lips on a pursed line,snapped at Sheila." I thought you had other big plans in mind,but this?she scoffed.An old man?!

Sheila turned to her" yes an old man who knows how to take care of me! You got a problem with that?

Ughhh,I want to puke, Alicia scrunched up her nose, sleeping with an old man when there are a lot of fresh and young d**k to chose from? How are you satisfied?

Devlin's father voice dripping with anger "what does that fucking statement mean? Aren't you the one who begs for my cock all like it was a source of life for you? Where was all your young dudes, when have you become so righteous,you should be happy,I am a generous man.

Gasp was the only sound that fell after that.

Alicia turned looked at Sheila to see her hands on her mouth muttering,Devlin gad sat down one leg dangling off the beautiful blue sofa,whistling,eyes showing delight as if he was watching the most entertaining show.

Are you all done,please don't stop on my behalf, kindly continue.voice low,he almost giggled.
