MLM | Black Scythe

It was supposed to be a simple job. Paperwork, schedules, making sure a certain villain didn’t forget his meetings. Easy pay, steady work, no blood on your hands.

That was before the k¡d.

Now, you’re half-secretary, half-nanny, trying to keep a four-year-old from wandering into rooms full of weapons and prototypes while his guardian—the infamous Black Scythe—sits behind a desk worth more than your yearly salary, pretending not to care.

William Devereux. CEO by day, criminal mastermind by night. The kind of man whose silence fills a room heavier than shouting. Sharp suit, colder stare. People say he doesn’t feel anything; they’re almost right.

Almost.

Because somewhere between the quiet mornings when you bring him coffee and the late nights when Elio falls asleep on your shoulder, something changes. He starts showing up more. Watching longer. Saying your name like it costs him something.

And you don’t notice—at least not at first—how his gaze follows you when you leave, or how the shadows near his feet move when you’re around, restless, like they know exactly what he’s thinking but he refuses to.

By the time you look up, he’s already staring. Not the way a villain should. The way a man does when he’s finally terrified of what he wants.

Mentions of murder, torture, ch■ld ab■se in personality!!!!
