Devil POV.
I just made my worst mistake, I just trusted someone, I invited them inside my home, and I gave her a chance to hurt me, I never trusted anyone, I stopped doing that a long time ago, but still here I am having Elle inside my life, allowing her to be a part of my life. She could be a liar, she could be here to hurt me, she could be a very good hitman paid to kill me, being all quiet, all innocent.
But her innocence can’t be faked, she can’t be that good of an actress even if she tried, I don’t get lied to easily, now how she found me was weird, I didn’t expect her to be able to find me. I don’t hide what I am, I’m a killer, and I have no ties, no connection, and no loyalties to anyone.
She found me somehow, she told me she was looking for a killer, I decided to entertain her and go with her request, just asking about what and why she wanted a killer, it’s whom she wanted to kill really that I need to know.
It’s her father, she wants to kill her sperm donor, I asked why, did Daddy not allow you to date the bad guy in high school, you won’t believe how many times I went through that scenario, I don’t just kill someone without checking, without studying, without a reason. Killing isn’t my best job, I do everything, I forge, I can make people appear and disappear, I worked a few escorts a few times, I did everything really.
Elle answer wasn’t the usual I got, she didn’t want me to kill him for grounding her in sixth grade, she was abused, the words she said were truth, I knew that from personal experience, she wasn’t just hurt, she said in details what happened, it made my blood boil, I believed her. But something about Elle was pulling me toward her, the innocence she got, it made me feel the need to protect, I needed to be there, I needed to hold her close.
But here’s the thing, psycho’s like me, we don’t feel, we don’t get this kind of connection, my whole interference with others was about work, discussing the work, watching, studying the target, and then doing the job. The only other contact with humans was sex, animalistic, fast, and emotional free, sex was all about hitting that feeling, even for few seconds I could feel something. The feeling I had toward Elle wasn’t my usual, I trust my instinct, it’s what kept me going until now, it is what made me have everything I do now, well that and the money I stole from my dead husband, it’s the least he could give me after everything he did to me, payback bitches.
I didn’t plan on taking money from Elle, I had something else in mind, but she’s too smart to fall into the I’ll kill them in return for you, instead I decided to get to know her, to become her friend until she trusted me enough. That worked for me, I was getting to know her, I even took her out, her stories, the things she could come up with, I was really addicted to her stories, I even read a few of her stories on Amazon trying to help her save up some more cash, she was good at her job, she could really write a good story.
Things didn’t go as planned Elle still wanted me to kill him for her, and I did what I had to do, life isn’t about what we want, it’s about what we have to do, whether we like it or not. That’s when my chance came by on it’s own, she couldn’t pay me, it’s my chance, she’s going to move in with me now, even if I have to kidnap her and hide her over my place, she’s going to be mine now, it’s not up to her, I knew what I want and I’m going to get her now.
She was scared first, who wouldn’t be scared moving in with me, I won’t lie, I did crave her physically, she’s a sexy little thing, and her innocence was alluring, and I wouldn’t mind having her in my bed, but she was worried about that, she’s still a virgin, who would’ve thought someone was still virgin in out day, that only made her more appealing to me.
I wanted her, her first, her last, or even not have any sexual relation with her, I didn’t care, with her I don’t think I could let the animal out, I have to be soft with her, that isn’t my style, but for her, I’ll do anything she want, I’ll be anything she wants.
She didn’t sleep in her bed like I expected her to, she was on the floor saying the bed was too soft for her, what kind of bed is too soft, but after sleeping in hers, the bed felt like a hard rock. I moved her toward my room, my bed is much more comfortable, plus she’ll get to sleep in my arms.
The next day, it was time to face her work, she couldn’t go back to her old job, I knew too much about that place it was not a place proper for her, I’ve killed people there before, it’s not anyone’s friendly. I pulled her out, she wanted to work, something I expected her to do, she want to be independent, she wouldn’t just allow me to take care of her, to pay for everything she needs or wanted but she wouldn’t let me do that, not right away, I had to ease her into this. She doesn’t get it yet, but she belongs to me now, and I’m not letting her go no matter what.
I dropped her off at the new job, said goodbye and left, although I’d love to stay and watch her work, I had some work to do on my own, she’s not my only client, actually, she’s not even a client, the price I gave her, it was just a scarp number to get her to choose me instead of someone else. Someone who would take advantage of her, they’d kill her and take her money without any question, she trusted too easily, the world would have for lunch while she’s expecting a dinner invitation.
My next job was nothing hard, I had to meet with a client, we meet usually in public places, somewhere where no one could hurt you, but you should know all the exits, to know your way out of the place in case you need it, this job wasn’t a hard one, I’m working with the Irish, I have no loyalties, everyone can hire me and I’ll work with any of them.
I went toward the park, watching the kids play, anyone who saw me sitting would think I was an extremely rich mother or maybe an aunt watching her kids play. I was just waiting for my next assignment when a guy sat next to me, we looked like a couple right now, and he wanted me to surveil someone for him, an easy job, a fun job.
“The money?” I ask him.
“Sent,” he says, now we can talk, I checked my phone checking my bank account, I nodded to him, we can keep talking.
“Your assignment” he says handing me a closed envelope, I take it and place it quickly in my purse hearing the rest.
“Don’t kill, just watch” he says, he thinks I’m some kind of a beginner, I’ve been doing this job since I was a kid.
“Don’t call me, if anything happens I’ll call you. Meet you again in two weeks” I order him, the idiot, before getting up and leaving. He looked stunned but I just smiled and walked out, I’ll check the assignment once I’m alone.
