  "Not bad, the new General Pride cleans up nicely don't you think?" Bella teased.

  Ever since my little face off with the new General Pride who's name is Alexis, Bella has been relentlessly teasing me about it.

  "Knock it off," I growled.

  "Oh come on, just wait until you see her. I will help you pick your jaw off the floor," Bella said.

  She wasn't kidding about Alexis being beautiful. Alexis finally came out of the dressing room in her new uniform. Her uniform consisted of a black pair of jeans and a black suit jacket with three silver star buttons going up the middle over a white shirt. Her brown hair was tied back into a ponytail and she wore a gold necklace with a gold plated pendant that was a pair of black wings. Even though her eyes were black something about them drew me in.

  Bella cleared her throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Told you so. Now stop drooling over her and let's get down to business."

  "Question, is there some reason why I don't get to wear shoes?" Alexis asked.

  "Common etiquette is that citizens of Hell who aren't a part of the Royal Family not wear shoes as a sign of submission to the Royal Family," Bella answered before I could say anything. "The other Seven Deadly Sins don't wear shoes either for that same reason. They might be Generals, but they're not a part of the Royal Family."

  "So would wearing shoes be a punishable offense?" Alexis questioned.

  I could see her curiosity was starting to get the better of her and I liked that. That might be a sign that she would assess the situation before figuring out the best route to get revenge on her enemies.

  Bella nodded. "Yeah it is. But we make sure to investigate to figure out why they decided to wear the shoes. Most of the time we find out that it's people who are trying to usurp the throne and they are banished for treason."

  Alexis tilted her head. "Banished for treason? Why not execute them?"

  "Because citizens of Hell can't be killed. Not even by the Eternal Lake of Fire. All it does is toss you into another dimension where you'll be tortured for all eternity," Bella explained.

  Alexis nodded. "Hmmm, sounds fun."

  Bella gave a sarcastic snort. "It sure is!"

  I rolled my eyes. "Alright you two, let's get down to business. Come with me."

  I led them down a hallway to the briefing room. Before we entered, I turned to Bella and said, "Bella, you stay outside. We'll be talking about matters that don't concern you."

  Bella nodded and walked away. I opened the room to see the other Seven Deadly Sins sitting around the table waiting for me. Wrath smiled when he saw Alexis beside. "How am I not surprised that the crazy woman is the new General Pride?"

  I chuckled. "Yeah I know. But she's perfect for the job. And remember who it is that controls you."

  I pointed to the gold necklace that was his neck. It was the same type of necklace that Alexis was wearing. All of the Seven Deadly Sins had the same necklace on.

  I motioned for Alexis to sit down next to Wrath and I sat at the head of the table. I touched the table and it turned into a screen that showed a couple of buildings that some of my enemies were hiding out in.

  "Okay, General Pride for your first assignment, I'm going to send you to this building. A couple of my enemies are hiding out there," I said.

  Alexis's jaw clenched. "Yes sir. Who's the owner of the company?"

  "His name is Ryan Reynolds," I said. "He said he founded the company on behalf of a dead ex-girlfriend of his and the company is called: Alexis Co." I smirked. "I take it you know him?"

  "Oh yeah, he's my cheating ex-boyfriend. The asshole had the nerve to buy my company!" Alexis snarled.

  Lust gasped. "Well not only is he an enemy to King Julius but now he's an enemy to General Pride, aka the Crazy Lady. I hope he gets the Lake for his punishment when he comes here."

  "Actually he isn't an enemy of mine, his secretary is," I answered. "She's a witch that has conspired with a rebel group of Demons to take over the throne five years ago. She escaped punishment and is now pretending to be a human."

  "Oh," Lust said. "But I still hope he gets a bad punishment when he finally gets here."

  Gluttony snorted. "Speak for yourself. But that's also a reason why I don't date. Too messy and every chick I sleep with knows this. Some of them did try to attach themselves to me. But I'm called Gluttony for a reason."

  Lust rolled her eyes. "Of course you are."

  "Alright settle down you two. The next enemy is this person," I said.

  I pressed a couple of buttons on the screen and pulled up another image. It was an image of an older man smiling as he looked down at a couple of papers on his desk. I looked over at Alexis as her eyes flashed in anger. "The stupid lawyer! He worked for my traitorous grandparents! I'll make him pay in the worst possible way ever! Then I'll go after my grandparents next!"

  I snapped my fingers and a flash of light came from her necklace and she groaned in pain. "Alexis, calm down. You'll get your vengeance in due time. Once you get your vengeance he'll be sent to Greed for further punishment. He's a Demon in disguise and he worked alongside the witch to try and take over the throne. He also escaped Hell before I could hand him his punishment. I think the fact that they escaped so easily and are now working for this company tells me that a regular human was involved. This Demon is now a lawyer for Alexis Co."

  If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  I could tell by the way Alexis balled her hands into fists that she was seething. She was seething so bad that Wrath's eyes went wide in horror as he looked at her with his jaw dropped. "General Pride, you might want to cool your anger down a bit before your powers go out of control please."

  Everyone else in the room including me gasped in surprise. That's because I've never once seen Wrath say the word please for anything. Not to mention that actually worked! Alexis sighed and calmed down. She gave Wrath a grateful look. "Thanks…"

  There was an awkward silence in the room when Wrath broke it by saying, "You're welcome dear."

  Envy looked at Alexis with jealousy. Which makes sense because Envy equals Jealousy to me. I had to admit that I was a little jealous too. She whined, "I wish you said please to me first Wrath! That's not fair!"

  I chuckled. "Yeah I know but life isn't fair. Anyway, I'm sending Alexis to the witch first and then I'll send Greed to the lawyer. Greed, you'll be helping Alexis get her revenge after she deals with the witch. The rest of you stay on stand by until I hand you your assignments."

  "Yes sir!" Everyone responded.

  "Great, you're all dismissed except for Alexis," I said.

  The rest of the Seven Deadly Sins gave me amused looks as they left the room one by one because they knew what I was going to do next. In order to put Alexis's DNA into the system for future assignments she has to have sex with me. I tried to do it by drawing blood instead one time but it didn't work.

  "Alexis, come here," I said.

  She gave me a confused look at first but then did as she was told. I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms. "I forgot to tell you, in order to seal the deal we have to have sex at least once."

  She giggled. "Oh really? If you wanted sex all you had to do was ask."

  I kissed her before she could say anything else. After I took her clothes off I laid her down on the table and took my clothes off next. I made sure that she was ready for me before I thrusted into her. Her moaning my name was like music to my ears. After I climaxed Alexis climaxed shortly after. I rolled off of her and gave her clothes so she could get dressed. Watching her get dressed shouldn't have turned me on but it did.

  But I wanted to have sex with her again but I decided against it because that would require her to get dressed again. She looked at me with a smug look knowing that she had just satisfied me. "Like what you see?"

  "Oh yes, I do but I want you to get started on this assignment," I admitted. "This assignment might take a while unfortunately." I went to a drawer and picked up a ring that would help Alexis disguise herself while on her assignment. "One more thing, take this ring with you because once you get back to Earth people will be able to see you and that includes the guy who owns the company."

  Alexis nodded. "Alright then."

  Before she turned to leave I grabbed her once again and kissed her. After I let her go she left the room and even though I wanted more of her I knew I would have to wait. I would get her and claim her as mine sooner or later.

  {Alexis}

  Much to my surprise Julius was able to get me a fake resume so that I could work for Ryan at his company. If I was still alive I could've just used my old resume but since I'm considered dead I can't use that resume. As I looked over my fake resume I was impressed. Apparently Julius had a couple of his servants become wealthy on Earth and owned businesses that were in competition with mine. So Julius contacted them and helped them come up with a story about how long I worked for them. That way if Ryan called for a reference I'd have a good one.

  My fake name was Cassandra and for my disguise I looked exactly like Ryan's type. Ryan liked semi skinny women with hourglass figures that had big butts. From what I remembered he was definitely a butt man. Sarah had a big butt but not much of an hourglass shape to her. I had a big butt and my disguise gave me a big butt.

  Anyway, I walked into the company for my final interview and it was a one on one interview with Ryan. I was wearing a light blue dress and had blonde hair and grey eyes.

  As soon as I entered the room Ryan's eyes immediately locked with mine. I could tell based on the look in his eyes he was already drooling over me. Asshole.

  Ryan composed himself and looked at my file. "Well, Cassandra, you have quite the resume here. Even though I have a secretary already I also am in need of a Personal Assistant. And I think you're perfect for the job! You're hired! I'll have my lawyer draft a contract for you by the end of the day and you should receive it in your email that you've provided. Provided everything goes well you'll start working at 7am on Friday."

  I nodded. He stood up and held out his hand. I took it and shook it. He smiled. Without another word I started to leave the room. As I was leaving I heard him chuckle to himself, "Well, Cassandra I'll have you in my bed sooner or later…."

  I almost stopped short when I heard that but I kept walking pretending as if I heard nothing. Creepy bastard.

  {Ryan}

  After I got off work I went home and I got settled in for the night because I had a long business meeting to go to in the morning. I was kind of excited because the new PA starts working for me on Friday. Having her around was going to be a huge help and it also helps that she's drop dead gorgeous and totally my type.

  I looked at Cassandra's file again and looked at her picture. There was something about her that reminded me of Alexis. The only difference was her hair was blonde and her eyes were grey.

  The way she carried herself as a prideful woman was what reminded me of Alexis that most. Alexis was very proud of her company and her accomplishments and that's what attracted me to her. She was beautiful and smart and had everything going for her. I admired that and I was planning on proposing to her until Sarah came along. I made a mistake in complaining about my life being boring to Sarah. I had it made and I was taken care of. All I had to do was stay faithful to Alexis and that was all she asked of me.

  Not to mention she was having sex with me every chance she got and she was good in bed. Even with all that I became complacent and I got drunk. I started thinking about what I would do with the lifestyle that Alexis could provide for me with her money.

  Sarah walked when I was drunk and I guess from what she told me I complained about my life and said something about only wanting Alexis for her money.

  I had a feeling that Sarah lied to me about what I said but since I don't have any proof I'll just have to take what she said at face value. If I just wanted Alexis for her money I would've gotten together with Sarah a long time ago.

  Sarah's from a rich family. She's spoiled rotten and she's not wrong about the fact that I could get a job regardless and she could stay home and take care of the kids.

  But that wasn't what I wanted. I didn't want Sarah. I wanted a life with Alexis and now it's not possible.

  As I stared at Cassandra's file the doorbell rang snapping me out of my thoughts. I quickly hid the file in my briefcase so whoever it was wouldn't see it. I answered the door and it was Sarah. I frowned because she looked like she had been crying. "What's wrong?"

  "Can…" She stuttered. "C-can I come in?"

  I nodded and stepped aside. "Sure."

  Sarah entered the room and sat down on the couch next to me. She looked at me. "So I take it you're getting ready to settle in for the night?"

  I nodded again. "Yeah I got a long meeting to do in the morning. Why?"

  "I'm pregnant…" Sarah said.
