Book One of Virtues Series: Numbness

Chapter Fifteen: Getting To Know You (Adams' POV)

Ah~ Chaos~ Watching the city from afar as people rob, steal, cheat and kill for their own selfish reasons. It was a beautiful sight~ seeing all those people commit sins, filling us with their evil. I stared at the city of Caleumtropolis with a confident smirk. Being the leader has its perks, people following my every whim and not a single one of these pathetic sins can ever stand up to me. I was the embodiment of Pride after all and if they dare challenge me I would make sure they never live to do it again.

I valued loyalty and most of all, order. We had managed to round up an army already, the sight of it could make anyone cower in fear. It was huge in number with a lot more muscle than seduction wise creatures courtesy of Luxuria, and when the citizens see this army they will surely run away at the sight of it.

I should go check on Alexis~ I should teach her some respect her elders~ He thought as he walked away from the window he was facing at earlier and started to make his way out of the "throne room". On my way to her room, I spotted Invidia, combing her hair as she walked down the same hallway as me, along with Avaritia and Gula, who was snacking on some potato chips he had managed to steal from a convenience store in the city. When they saw me they instantly stopped what they were doing and looked at me with such fear, moving close to the wall as they continued to stare at me walking past them with dilated eyes. I chuckled at this.

Yes, feed me with your fear~ I thought as I felt myself grow stronger from their gazes. The only person who has not shown fear towards me was Ira, and I loathed that worm. Yes, it was true I trusted him with the position as my second in command but I didn't tell him about my plans. I know he is out to get me...to take me down and claim my right as leader of the Sins. I wouldn't give him any openings though, after all I am a man of order....

"Well well~ Where do you think your going?~"a familiar annoying voice said behind me as I turned around and saw Luxuria in, what looked like a short silk bathrobe. Ah, Luxuria, Marie Schneider, my personal pleasure reliever~....that was all she was to me~ nothing but a sex object~ and this woman didn't mind at all~

"Ah, Luxuria~ out of your room I see~ are your bruises finally healed?"I asked her in a fake sweet voice that could make any woman swoon, after all, it worked on my wife or rather EX-wife.

"Well yes~ that medicine Ira gave me healed up all my wounds and bruises. So now, my body is as sexy as it always has been~" She says, using her seductive voice as she starts to approach me, stroking my chest in small circles suggestively. Pathetic. This woman only came to me like this when Ira wasn't around. I knew of their little "affair". Back then, she wasn't as submissive when I met her....she was scared, shy and innocent~ I loved the fact that she screamed when I would do her, watching her face change in agony as she begged me to stop. But now, she had submitted to her sin, Lust, and now it was honestly boring, despite the fact that her face would show such an arousing expression.

"Well that's good...now, if you'll excuse me I have to check on Alexis...a father and daughter talk you might say~" I say towards her but then, I felt her grab my arm as I turned around with the same expression I had when talking to her. Unlike Wrath, this woman was absolutely a puppy towards me, she would follow my orders and do whatever I ask. Hell, I could make her jump off a building if I so desired, and she would willingly do it for me.

"aww, why do you check on that little brat all the time?~ why not stay with me? I could give you a good time~"She tells me in a flirtatious manner. My patience was wearing thin from this woman. With my eyes purple, I grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up with this smirk on my face.

"My patience was low Luxuria...~ you should know by now what happens when you try to approach me with my patience low..."I tell her as I watched her squirm in my hold as she gripped my arm, trying to break free from my hold as I chuckled darkly at her attempts. Soon, I dropped her as she clutched onto her neck and made my way to Alexis' room.

I opened the door and found her in the corner, hugging her knees as she lifted her face to glare at me and my, those eyes definitely showed me she was indeed my daughter.

"Alexis, I think it's time....i teach you some manners...."I say looking at her as I slowly closed the door behind me.

I demand obedience....and I will get it....
