Chapter I (unedited)

Alessio Romano:

It has been six years and it's about time I bring my queen back. I'm not so sure how I will do it, but I know damn well that I will have her. For the past six years, I've had some lower-class demons and my best friend looking over her and reporting back to me on everything she does.

I remember one time a year ago, one of the demons had called me and was stuttering over his words. He had the right to be when I found out what he was saying. She had a fucking boyfriend… that was until he magically disappeared and was never to be heard from again. I didn't kill him. I kept him alive in a cell and tortured him. It was my favorite pass time when I needed to relieve my stress. That reminds me, I need to go do my daily torture session.

"Valik! Get my fucking plaything ready and set up my knives!" I screamed, clapping my hands together in joy. Valik is my advisor and had been the advisor for my family for generations.

I swipe my tongue across my lips, groaning just thinking about the guy screaming in pain. It's music to my ears. There's nothing better than that. Unless it is my queen moaning from underneath me and screaming with pleasure as I fuck her from behind. Thrusting hard and fast, at a speed her head cannot comprehend. All it knows is that it's pleasurable and begs me to keep going, never stopping. Letting another groan out, I shake my head and adjust myself.

A small knock is heard on my office door and the door knob twists. Valik enters and bows, letting me know that my chamber is ready. He then bows again and leaves, shutting the door silently behind him. Grinning, I get up from my chair and head to my lovely chamber.

It's time for blood to spill.

Harmonia Luciano:

"Xavier! Stop that!" I giggled as he kept on tickling me.

"I won't stop until you tell me that I'm the best friend you've ever had and that you love me." His tickling got hard and faster, making me laugh even more. So much so that I was struggling to catch my breath.

"I can't breath," I pant out. I'm pretty sure my face is bright red, like a tomato. Eventually, he stops and I'm able to catch my breath. "Xavier, you are my bestest and only friend. I love you!" I jumped attempting to squeeze the life out of him as payback. Though that seems to go in vain.

Xavier brings me into a headlock and ruffles my hair. "I love you too my munchkin!"

"Not my hair!" I screeched while slapping his hands away, trying to prevent it from getting too messy. "You know it takes me a while to do my hair!" I huffed and crossed my arms; a pout on my face. He raised his hands surrendering, however, he is unapologetic about his actions.

"Xavier? Can we head to the park?"

"Sure thing munchkin. Let's go," he just smiles at me. This time, the smile doesn't reach his eyes like it normally does. I wonder what's wrong. I'll wave it off for now and ask him later what's wrong. I know he needs some time to think about his shit before he can tell me about it.

Xavier Russo:

I've been assigned, well more like ordered by my best friend, the king, to look after our future queen. The kindest person I have ever met. Harmonia Luciano. The moment I met her, I knew my life was going to be interesting and it was an adventure every day with her. I must say, my king has chosen a wonderful queen.

The only problem is, it's been six years and this week is the week my king will take Harmonia, whether she likes it or not. It's also been six years since I met her. Meaning, it's been six years that I have been lying to her. Over the past few years, the guilt has started to build up and I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to hold on.

I just hope when the day comes, she won't be too upset with me. Harmonia is the only other friend I've made. I cannot lose her.

On our way to the park, as I walk behind her, I look up at the sky and pray that I won't lose her. I'm not sure what I would do if it did. Maybe grovel at her feet until she forgives me?

I'm sorry Harmonia, but this week is going to be hell.
