Obsession
**Unknown POV**
"She certainly did kill him huh?" Demon Lord Shiuku muttered watching the scene before him.
Shiuku had decided to watch her a few minutes before seeing that pervert in the forest. I mentally had been wondering how far Shiuku would have things go after Aileen was forced to take her shirt off. Surely he would have sent someone soon had that girl given Aileen and opening.
No one was allowed to play with 'his woman'. Not now that she was here in his dimension. He would be the only one to cause her pain, or pleasure.
That Aileen girl was a very unhealthy obsession for him. He uses his ability to watch her almost daily. There was no doubt that he would have me enter her dream again tonight. He wanted to see her badly. He wanted to tease her body again.
I'd be stuck turning a blind eye to him touching her again. People hate being third wheels, imagine having no choice while the girl fights with her own desires.
Think... "Yes, but did you see how crazy her eyes looked? You want her because she's strong and comes for a strong family yes? Well clearly she is still broken inside from her childhood."
"She's over come a lot. She's allowed set backs." He smirked, "Did you see the fire in her eyes though? Her aura was radiating with power. She become determined to save that girl's life. I find that simply wonderful."
"Until she stabs you with a knife." I exhaled softly. Shiuku needed to leave that girl alone. Aileen didn't need any more complications. The girl is close to Lena too, whether she knew it or not. Lena clearly likes her. Knowing Lena, she would see a lot of herself in Aileen. Anyone with a functional brain could see that. Those two are very alike at their core. Very kind and caring, but unwilling to admit it.
Shiuku twirled his glass, checking out Aileen through the opening small portal he made. According to Kaibec, Shiuku had use this same ability since she was a child. One of Shiuku's generals had lost his life to a human in another dimension; Aileen's father.
The demon lord had assumed he would produce a strong child. When he saw that he had indeed produced a daughter, Shiuku had chosen to watch her grow intently. He needed to make sure she had a strong soul. Unfortunately, she passed. Then Shiuku's fixation really started.
Shiuku laughed darkly, "once she bears my mark, it will be impossible for her to harm me."
"And how do you suppose to do that? I don't think she'll agree to be yours." I filled his glass up with more champagne. "Not to bring down your mood, but she is engaged as well is she not?"
Wrong words. The demon lord grabbed me by the collar and threw me against the wall. Aileen's image disappeared as the portal evaporated. The wind was instantly knocked out of my lungs. Never tease a demon about his obsession. I should know this by now.
His voice had my teeth chattering together. "I will deal with fiance in time. He is not a concern. She doesn't love him and will grow to love me. She will love the family we will make."
An awkward silence followed. I did not dare to say anything further to upset him. Being one of his most trusted men, did not make my life invisible. If he bored, or got too annoyed with me, he would end my life with no mercy. If I really made him angry, well I could bet on torture that made me pray for death. Neither of those options were to my liking.
"This little event did give me the perfect idea for my strong little one. No matter how much she wants to be like her Father, she leaves herself open to an obvious weakness. One that'll make it very easy to take advantage of. One to make her my strong little wife."
He did not explain his plan to me. It was probably better that way. I don't think I could control my facial expression if it was a horrid as his tone would imply.
I nodded not wanting to tick him off further. Now Shiuku was staring at a picture I had taken for him about a month back.
The girl looked beautiful in it. The day I took it was one of the rare days she would wear a dress. Before I went out to take the picture for Shiuku, I had never seen her in a sundress. Light purple shades from the dress highlighted her snowy complexion and black hair. Aileen rarely had her hair out of a ponytail or bun, much like Lena. But when her hair is down, damn did it have me take a few breaths. Just like when Lena did.
Lena would kill me if she knew I was helping Shiuku with this. Not like SL Lena would ever forgive me anyway. But I did still feel dirty stalking the girl.
Kaibec's bold decision made all the more sense to me now. If only had the courage that little monster did. If only I wasn't so spinless. If only I wasn't so damn terrified of Demon Lord Shiuku. I should talk to Kaibec if I ever have the chance; that little monster.
"Devon, I want this picture framed before my future wife comes to live here." Shiuku smiled at the picture tracing his fingers over her toned body. "I'm going to go crazy if I don't get started on making this baby soon."
I nodded again while he fantasied about his obsession. Thank God I can't read minds.
Go take a cold shower my Lord. I thought to myself, to scared to voice my opinion. No way am I risking getting on his bad side. I committed too many atrocities to survive. I'm not giving him a reason to kill me now.
Shiuku left, leaving the picture behind. I carefully picked it up frustrated. I may be an evil bastard, but I didn't want to see this girl have to endure any more.
"Go home soon Aileen, before its too late." I whispered to her picture.
