Chapter Thirty-Two

Vyco

“Darling, I think you’re right. I need to do something. I need to make this world right, once and for all,” Jessica stated, pacing through the throne room.

Vyco was sitting on his old throne, though Jessica still thought he was the pathetic creature, Devon, who still annoyed him with his bickering thoughts that wouldn’t leave his head.

Watching Jessica in amusement as she moved from one end of the room to the other, he couldn’t help but smile. If he had to watch a woman pacing, Jessica was certainly the one. She was quite the sight; seeing that booty shaking each and every time she turned was a pleasant reminder of the times they had spent together in the past.

“You’ve already said this before. Several times. Make it happen, if that is what you want,” Vyco responded simply.

Finding her and bringing her into the underworld was one of the smartest decisions he’d ever made, and it was one that would truly pay out the most in the end. She certainly wasn’t loyal, but she was stupid and manipulative enough to be helpful.

Now if he could get her to do his bidding, his plan to return would end perfectly in his favor. Vyco would have a quick and easy way to retain his position of power upon the throne where he now sat.

“When should this happen? Should we do it today?” Jessica asked, her impatience almost endearing, if he were able to care. “Wouldn’t it be fantastic to take over as ruler right now?”

She gazed at him, and he knew she was trying to gauge his opinion, desperately wanting approval. She really was a follower. He wondered how she’d ever imagined she’d have made a decent leader. She was never doing anything for herself, always looking for acceptance. What a sad existence.

“How about a week? Gain approval from the underworld, have time to prepare, and when it comes it will be a hard hit, a hit that won’t fail,” Vyco suggested.

He needed more time. He was certainly strong enough to possess Devon, but his full powers hadn’t yet returned.

He wanted to use the raid on the council as time for the underworld to take over the universe. He needed to visit his body and absorb the power to allow the process to fully merge, but the time had to be right. He needed more strength to complete the process, and to find a good doppelganger once more. Those were not the easiest to come by, after all.

Jessica contemplated Vyco’s suggestion before letting out a sigh. ”You’re right, Devon, as usual. I just really want this to happen. It’s so unbelievable. I was a pathetic mortal, and soon I’ll be immortal, and the mate of the leader of the universe!”

He wanted to tell her how pathetic she still was, but he kept that to himself.

You’re just as pathetic as she is to think you will pull this off.

“Shut up!” he thundered.

“What?” Jessica asked, stopping in her tracks.

“That wasn’t meant for you,” Vyco snapped.
