It didn't even look as if this house belonged to anyone, more like those places you see that are for events, big parties or body dumping. Cassie stared at the house and wondered where the owners even got this kind of money from; this place was her apartment but three million square feet larger. Cassie approached the gate and wondered how she was gonna get inside, after a second she just decided to call Akuma.

"Yeah?"

Phones have caller ID so why are you addressing me like that? "I don't know how to get in here."

"Oh, wait a second," She heard some movement on the phone and then some beeping, "Okay there." As he said that the gate door opened up. Cassie hung up without saying anything else and made her way down the path to the front door. Waiting for her was Akuma, "You should really say bye when you hang up." When I'm about to come and see you?

"I didn't think I needed to."

"You're right, bye would be the last thing you're saying to me anyways." Akuma smirked while saying that and turned to enter his house. I guess I fell for that one... man, when is this going to be over? Her only reason for being here was that dumb promise she made to Akuma, she doesn't go back on her shit, but this time she really wished she could.

Cassie entered the home and found herself staring at anything she could. It looked like no one even lived in this place and it made even less sense that someone like Akuma did. Cassie was then approached by a woman.

"Welcome, are you a friend of Akuma or someone who's here for his father?"

"Uh... Akuma?" She nodded.

"Then feel free to leave your bag anywhere. We'll be sure it's returned to you."

"Oh, I'm fine just carrying it."

"Besides, I doubt she'll be leaving after I'm done with her." Akuma said from the top of the stairs. Cocky ass-

"Then If you need anything just call me!" Cassie nodded to her before making her way up the stairs and finding Akuma smiling at her. Why the fuck are you smiling like that?

"It's true though."

"What is?"

"That you won't be leaving."

"I don't live here, so I will be leaving."

"That's what you say now." Cassie just sighed to him and followed him as he led her down a long hall.

"Where are we going?"

"The pantry is locked, the key is up here somewhere... I just forgot where." Man, you must not eat at all. Akuma checked multiple doors until he found one room he went into, he then opened every drawer before simply just leaving with a key in his hand.

"Why's that up here anyways?"

"They say it's to prevent anyone from stealing, I think that's a load of shit. The chef lives in that room so I think she just keeps it to make it easier on herself." Cassie nodded and they went back downstairs until they found the kitchen, it was then she realized something.

"Wait, so you just left her room like that?"

"Yeah, we have people who take care of that." Why put more work on them? Working for you must be too much already. Cassie stopped and turned back to the stairs. "Where are you going?" Cassie ignored him and found her way back to the room.

She found it as Akuma hadn't even closed the door either. Cassie shut each drawer until things looked as normally as she could get them. She sighed and went back out to shut the door. Cassie went back down and found herself tired of the stairs already, but she didn't let that show and found her way back to the kitchen where Akuma was at. "And you were doing what?"

"You shouldn't make them work harder than they already are."

"So what? They get paid to clean and shit, so why not give them some work?" Cassie said nothing and just wanted him to move on. Akuma thankfully did and opened the pantry and to Cassie's surprise, it was much bigger than it looked. The doors were only a bit taller than her, but the inside of the pantry roof was almost the same as the kitchen roof. Akuma went inside and Cassie followed. This was too much food for just two assholes... his dad has to be like a million pounds or something!

"Now, what do I want you to cook for me?" Akuma was browsing like he was shopping and it only pissed her off. Though, she didn't say anything and just waited for Akuma to say what he wanted. "Okay, I want you to make me shrimp and rice, baked pork chops and pizza." He said this and began looking for ingredients. "This'll be something that I can eat over time, hopefully your cooking isn't shit."

"Wait, who said I'd be cooking all this for you?"

"You did?"

"No, I meant like one thing!"

"Well, you signed the terms and conditions and they can't be changed now." He came back with some stuff in his hands, he pushed all of it onto Cassie. "So I would get to work if you want to leave here, though I doubt you do." Before Cassie could say anything Akuma turned back to get a few more things. Cassie sighed and turned to set all of it onto the table. Maybe the workers here would be willing to go along with me in killing him.

...

Cassie decided to start cooking the pork chops first, since they'd be baking she didn't do too much besides season them, put a small amount of water in the pan and put them in the oven to let them slow bake.

She then got to work on pizza as Akuma explained he'd be eating that today, it was easy enough and now she stood pulling the tails off the shrimp while the pizza baked. Akuma was still in the room, but she somewhat forgot about him as she worked, it was then Akuma decided to get up and do something. He came behind her and grabbed her, she panicked and dropped the shrimp she was holding.

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like?" I know what the hell you're doing, but I'm thinking maybe you're crazy and don't!

"Then let go of me!"

"Why?"

"Because... because we're too close."

"That's your excuse?" He got near her ear, "So since it's so weak I'm going to assume you don't really mean it. So I'll stay right here." They began to move back and forth as Cassie tried to move closer to the stove in order to get away from him, but obviously Akuma was a bit stronger than her and Cassie more or less just wanted him to give up.

"A-akuma!"

"What?" Cassie was going to say something, but she felt his lips near her cheek now. "You smell really good... maybe you taste good too." She then felt his lips at her cheek. As much as she wanted to resist him, it wasn't like this was something she didn't want. She just didn't know if she actually wanted to let Akuma have his way. So she kept struggling.

"Excuse me?" Akuma grunted a bit, but kept hold of Cassie. She tried to use this distraction to escape, but Akuma pressed her against the counter as he spoke.

"What is it?"

"Your father is on the phone."

"Tell him to fuck off." Akuma was turning to kiss Cassie once more, but the woman kept talking.

"He says it's about work and he'll make the decision if you don't." Akuma sighed and reluctantly let Cassie go. She quickly moved away from him making Akuma laugh a bit.

"You moved pretty fast for someone who wasn't resisting." I was... well kinda. "But whatever, I'll go and talk to dad." Akuma went out of the kitchen and after a bit the woman went up to Cassie.

"I'm sorry I didn't come in sooner."

"You were helping me?" She nods.

"I do work for Mr. Flueric and Akuma, but I know how he can be, especially towards you Ms. Ann."

"You know my name?"

She nods, "I know this may seem somewhat bad, but Mr. Flueric had us find out a little bit about you, he's being sure Akuma isn't involving himself with undesired women. Luckily he's fine with you," More like unluckily, why couldn't he have Akuma relocated or something so he can't see me? "But Akuma talks a lot about you when asked if he'll ever marry, he really intends to marry you." Cassie stared at her, "But I understand if you just don't feel this way, his advances can be unorthodox, but I hope you and him can work things out." Cassie didn't know who this woman was or what to feel about what she said, but she saved her life!

"Thank you so much!"

"No need to thank me, besides you being a very decent chef, it was just my way of returning the favor you did." Without saying another word the woman left with a smile.

Cassie stared for a bit. What favor? Cassie shook her head before turning back to the counter and returned to what she was doing. It was then she opened her mouth and nearly let out a gasp. She's the fucking chef! God, I'm an idiot!
