In Valentino's club, a place full of secrets and excitement, neon lights made shadows dance on the walls. This club was where the most powerful demons in Hell came to have fun and enjoy themselves.

Valentino, a powerful demon who likes to control others, asked Angel Dust to come to his private room. This room was very fancy and looked like a place where secret plans were made. Angel Dust, the most famous performer in the club, walked in confidently, but he was a little nervous inside.

The moth demon wanted to talk to Angel about a new job, but this job was going to be very different and a bit scary. The spider wasn't sure what to think, but he knew he had to listen to what Valentino had to say.

"Ah, Angel, my precious star," Val said sweetly, his voice smooth but a bit scary. He walked around Angel like a cat watching a mouse, his fancy clothes making soft sounds. "I have a new job for you, one that will really shake things up down here."

Angel raised an eyebrow, his arms folding defensively across his chest. "What kind of job, Val? Your jobs always have a tricky part."

The greyish-lavender skinned demon chuckled, revealing a small bottle with a glowing liquid inside. "It's easy, really. Just a little something to help you shine even more on stage," he said, offering the bottle to Angel. The light from the liquid made weird shadows in Angel's eyes.

The  arthropod looked at the bottle carefully. "And what's that supposed to do? Make me sing and dance at the same time?"

"Something... more unique," The sinister moth purred, pressing the bottle into Angel's hand. "This potion, my dear, will allow you to bring life into our dreary existence. You'll be the first in Hell to offer a... very intimate performance."

Angel surprise turned into worry. "Hold on, you're not saying I... have to help make a baby, are you?" he said, finding the thought almost too strange to believe.

Val's smile didn't falter, but there was a sharpness in his eyes that made it clear he was serious. 

The grip on the bottle tightened, as the jumping spider realized what Valentino meant "You want me to get pregnant?!" he blurted out, his voice full of disbelief.

The Overlords smile grew wider, his eyes sparkling with a cruel kind of joy. "Exactly, my dear. Think about all the attention, the fame! Our customers always want something new, and what could be more new than seeing the miracle of life, but with a Hellish twist?"

The spiders heart pounded, the full impact of Valentino's scheme hitting him hard. "You can't be serious. That's... Val, this has to be a joke. That's really wrong! Even by your standards!"

"Business, my dear," Valentino responded, his voice casual. "You'll go through with it, and you'll be thankful for the chance. I've already chosen your... partner for this task."

As the Overlord explained more, including the part about a certain brown, cat-like demon, Angel felt completely trapped.

He stepped back, a mix of disbelief and fear in his eyes. "No way, Val. I'm not doing that. That's... That's crazy, even for Hell," Angel said, his voice showing a vulnerability he rarely let show.

Valentino's smile only grew bigger. His eyes sparkled with a mean joy as he looked at Angel. "Oh, Angel, my dear," he said in a way that didn't sound nice at all, "I didn't ask if you wanted to do this. It seems you've forgotten who's boss here. Bitch."

Suddenly, with a quick move of his hand, Valentino made a chain appear around Angel's neck. This chain showed how much he could make Angel do whatever he wanted. It shone with a strange light and got just tight enough to make Angel remember he wasn't in control of his own life.
