The 3 Vees

"Dust Dust recently became an overlord. The Vees knew you were stronger than all of them combined, which was one reason why they asked you to join the Vees, the other is because you accepted each one of them for who they are, flaws and all."

"You were sitting in the 3 Vees tower with nothing to do since they were all busy running their industries, and you had finished your work."

"Velvette let you have one of her live models to play with as you please, Vox gave you a phone filled with all sorts of social media accounts that him and Velvette made for you, and Valentino gave you a bunch of drugs to take and sex toys to play with."

"They didn't care how you spent your free time so long as you stayed within the tower since hell is unpredictable."

While looking out the window of the tower, your mind started to wonder about what you wanted to do with your free time. You could go look for them, use one of the things they gave you, or even wonder off on your own.

Vox nodded, his eyes softening a bit at Rose's enthusiasm for reading. "No need to thank me, Rose. I'm glad that I could make it easier for you to indulge in your hobby," he said sincerely.

He paused for a moment before adding, "You know, I've always found reading to be a bit boring. But watching you get lost in a good book... it's fascinating. You make it seem like you're living the same adventures as the characters."

A small smile appeared on Vox's lips as he spoke, and although he tried to keep things light-hearted, there was a hint of longing in his voice. He knew that he could never enjoy books the way Rose did. His mind was too restless, and his focus was always shifting. But there was something about the way Rose talked about books that made him want to understand them

Vox seemed taken aback by Rose's words, his fingers stilling momentarily on the keyboard. He hadn't expected her to be so understanding and non-judgmental.

"Thank you, Rose," he said softly, his eyes drifting from the screen to meet hers. "That means a lot coming from you."

He took a deep breath, hesitating for just a moment before adding, "You know, if you ever wanted to talk about the books you've been reading... or anything else really, I would be willing to listen. I may not understand everything, but I can appreciate your passion."

Vox felt a warmth spreading through his chest at Rose's words and actions. He knew that she was sincere, that she truly cared about him.

"Thank you, Rose," he said softly, his hand reaching up to cover hers on his shoulder. "I appreciate you being willing to talk with me. It means a lot."

He looked at her for a moment longer, studying her features in a way that he never had before. There was something about her, something that drew him in, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

But as he gazed into her two-colored eyes, he knew that he wanted to spend more time with her, to get to know her better.

"Do you want to grab lunch later?" he asked suddenly, the words tumbling out before he could second-guess himself.

"I was thinking we could order in," Vox replied, a grin forming on his lips. "That way we don't have to leave the tower and we can have lunch in the comfort of our own company."

He met Rose's gaze steadily, feeling a sense of nervous excitement bubble up inside him. He had never done something like this before, had never really spent much time alone with Rose. But he knew he wanted to, knew that there was something about her that drew him in.

"Does that sound good to you?" he asked, his tone casual but the look in his eyes intense.

Vox couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness and exhilaration at the thought of having lunch with Rose. He watched her walk away, his gaze lingering on her until she was out of sight.

When he was alone, he pressed his fingers to his cheek where Rose had kissed him, feeling a strange heat spreading through his circuits.

He wasn't quite sure what to make of all this, of the way Rose made him feel. He had never been drawn to anyone like this before, never felt such a sense of longing and connection.

But as he settled back into his work, he promised himself that he would explore these feelings more, that he would take this chance and see where it led.

Rose passed by several of the Vee Network's employees as she made a detour from Velvette's wardrobe towards Valentino's office. Many of them looked at her with varying degrees of discomfort and fear, but Rose paid them little mind. She knew that her association with the 3 Vees made many of the other demons in the tower uneasy, but she refused to let it bother her.

She finally arrived at Valentino's office, which was decorated with all manner of plush couches, dimly lit lamps, and various BDSM accouterments. Valentino himself was sitting behind his desk, speaking in hushed tones with one of his employees. When he saw Rose enter, he dismissed the employee with a sharp wave of his hand.

"Well, well, if it isn't my little rosebud," Valentino purred, leaning back in his chair and survey

Valentino shrugged a little, his eyes scanning over her curiously.

"You're not interrupting anything important, sweetie," he said with a grin. "Just a little business here and there. But it's always a pleasure to see you. How have you been?"

He leaned forward in his chair, steepling his fingers and watching her intently. There was something intense and almost predatory about the way he looked at her, but Rose knew that it was just his way of showing affection.

Valentino chuckled at her comment, his gaze lingering on her as she moved to sit down.

"I'm doing fine, dear Rose," he said smoothly. "Just taking care of a few things here and there. But tell me, how was Vox? Did he give you any trouble?"

Valentino leaned back in his chair again, one eyebrow arching up as he watched her carefully.

He knew that Vox often liked to push Rose's buttons, but he was also aware that the two of them had a connection that was unlike anything else in the tower. Valentino was always happy to see the others happy, even if it meant he had to put aside his own desires for a little while.

Valentino couldn't help but notice the dreamy look in her eyes and the softness of her voice as she spoke about Vox, and he felt a twinge of jealousy deep inside. But he quickly pushed it away, not wanting to let it interfere with his interactions with Rose.

"I'm glad to hear that," he said smoothly, his voice masking the slight tinge of jealousy he felt. "I'm sure he was happy to spend time with you as well. And lunch sounds lovely, you'll have to tell me all about it when you get back."

Valentino leaned forward again, his gaze still fixed on her with an intensity that was almost palpable. Despite his feelings of jealousy, he couldn't help but feel drawn to Rose, and he was always eager to spend time with her whenever he could.

Valentino's expression softened as Rose made the suggestion for them to have dinner or coffee later. He was pleased at the offer and a small smile played at the corners of his lips.

"That sounds lovely, Rose," he replied. "I'd be more than happy to have dinner or coffee with you later."

Then, at her apologetic concern, he quickly reassured her with a wave of his hand.

"Don't worry about that, dear Rose. I can always make time for you. And besides, it's not like I don't have others who can take care of my work for me if necessary. You're my priority and I always enjoy spending time with you."

Valentino leaned back in his chair again, watching her with a warm and genuine smile on his face.

Valentino chuckled at Rose's excitement, finding her enthusiasm contagious and endearing.

"Well, Rose my dear, I'm not feeling particularly picky today. I trust your judgement to pick a place that you'd like to go," he said with a wink. "And coffee on the couch sounds lovely. We can chat and unwind a bit after a long day."

He leaned forward and plucked a strawberry from the tray in front of him, taking a bite as he watched her intently. There was something about Rose that he couldn't quite put his finger on -- a certain innocence and purity that was rare to find in hell.

But whatever it was that drew him to her, Valentino knew one thing for sure: he wanted to protect her from the harsh and cruel world that surrounded them both.

Valentino watched as Rose left, his eyes lingering on her departing figure with a fond expression. He couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards her, a feeling that had been growing stronger and stronger every day since they'd met.

He leaned back in his chair, his mind racing with thoughts of what the night could hold. He wondered what kind of conversation they would have over dinner, what topics they would touch upon, and how he could make her feel at ease, comfortable and happy.

Valentino's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing. He lazily picked it up and answered before checking to see who it was.

"Hello?" he greeted, wondering who was calling him at this hour.

On the other end of the line, Valentino heard the familiar voice of his business associate and occasional fling, Marla. She purred in his ear as she greeted him, her sultry tone already making his skin crawl.

"Hey there, Valentino. Long time no see, babe," she cooed.

Valentino rolled his eyes, knowing exactly where this conversation was headed. "What do you want, Marla? I'm kind of busy right now," he said, trying to keep his voice level.

Marla chuckled on the other end of the line, a low sound that made his skin crawl. "Oh, come on, Valentino. You know what I want. I haven't seen you in ages and I thought we could have some fun."

Valentino sighed, wondering how he always found himself pulled back into Marla

The studio was a flurry of activity, with numerous demons and imps rushing around to complete various tasks for Velvette. Rose could hear the sound of fabric being cut and sewed, as well as the clicking of high heels on the studio's shiny marble floor.

At first, Rose couldn't spot Velvette amongst the chaos, but eventually, she caught a glimpse of the stylish demoness issuing commands from her elevated chair.

"Excuse me," Rose said in a small voice, walking closer to Velvette. "I'm returning the dress you lent me. Thank you for letting me borrow it."

Velvette turned towards Rose and gave her a brilliant smile. "Of course, my dear. You looked simply stunning in it! I'm glad it worked out for you."

Rose smiled back, feeling happy at the compliment. "Thank you. I'm sorry to bother

Velvette stood up from her chair and walked over to Rose, inspecting the dress as she talked.

"Nonsense, my dear. You looked like an absolute doll in that dress. It was made for you," Velvette said with a smile. "But I understand if you need to return it. I actually just finished some new designs, would you like to try some on?"

Rose's eyes widened with excitement at Velvette's words. She loved trying on new clothes and seeing herself in different styles.

"Could I really? I'd love that," Rose said eagerly, biting her lip.

Velvette chuckled softly, seeing the excitement in Rose's eyes. "Of course! Follow me, I'm sure there will be something here you'll like."

Velvette looked thoughtful for a moment, considering Rose's suggestion. As much as she enjoyed having her designs modeled in front of an audience, she also enjoyed having some quiet daughter-of-sin bonding time.

"That's actually a great idea, my dear. It's always nice to have some alone time with you," Velvette said, stepping closer to Rose and placing a hand on her shoulder. "We can have coffee, and snacks, and try on as many outfits as we want. It will be like our own private fashion show."

Rose's face lit up with excitement at the prospect, feeling grateful for Velvette's understanding. She squeezed Velvette's hand softly before letting go.

"Thank you so much, Velvette. I'm looking forward to it," Rose said, feeling excited at the prospect of quality girl time. "I better get going now, but

I'll see you later for our own private fashion show. Have a good day," Rose said, giving Velvette a small wave as she walked towards the door.

Velvette smiled, happy that she could make Rose happy and hoping that their time together would be fun and relaxing. She waved goodbye to Rose and watched as the young overlord left the studio.

"Until next time, my dear," Velvette murmured to herself, already planning out all the different outfits she wanted Rose to try on.

Velvette blinked in surprise at Rose's sudden show of affection, feeling a light blush creeping up her cheeks. She watched as Rose jogged out of the studio, feeling slightly dazed and flustered.

"Y-yes, I'll see you tonight," Velvette murmured to herself, still feeling a bit overwhelmed by the unexpected hug and kiss. She shook her head to clear her thoughts before turning back to the dress she was working on, hoping to distract herself from the fluttering feeling in her chest.

As Rose arrived at the penthouse suite, she could already smell the delicious aroma of takeout food in the air. She smiled to herself and walked into the open space, finding Vox sitting on the couch with several containers of Chinese food spread out in front of him.

"Hey there, Rosey," Vox said, grinning as she entered. "I knew you'd be hungry after your little fashion show with Velvette, so I ordered some takeout for us."

Rose smiled back at Vox, feeling grateful for his thoughtfulness. She walked over to the couch and sat down next to him, looking expectantly at the food containers.

"What did you get?" Rose asked, her mouth already watering at the sight of the delicious food. "Did you get my favorite, beef and broccoli?"

Vox chuckled at Rose's eagerness and handed her a container of beef

Vox grinned as he watched Rose enjoy the food, happy that he was able to make her happy.

"I'm glad you like it," Vox said, as he took a bite of his own food. "And as for my day, it's been pretty productive so far. I'm actually working on a new app right now that I think is going to be a huge hit in hell."

He paused for a moment, looking thoughtful before continuing.

"It's kind of like a dating app, but for demons. You can swipe left or right on potential matches based on their sin and level of evil. It's still in the early stages, but I think it's going to be a huge success."

Vox leaned back on the couch, looking excited about his new project. "What do you think, Rosey? Would you use a demon dating app?"

Vox listened attentively to Rose's response, his eyes softening at the hint of vulnerability in her voice. He had always found her innocence and naivety endearing, and he appreciated that she was honest with him.

"I understand how you feel, Rosey," Vox said, reaching over to pat her shoulder in a comforting way. "Dating can be scary, especially if you're unsure about the other person or what they might think of you. But don't worry, if you ever do decide to give it a try, you'll have plenty of demons lining up for a chance to be with you."

He smirked playfully as he finished, knowing full well just how attractive Rose was to demons of all kinds.

"But for now," Vox said, standing up from the couch. "I think we should enjoy our meal and relax for a while. We

Vox continued to talk and laugh with Rose over lunch, enjoying her company more and more as the minutes passed. He found himself feeling grateful that she was so accepting of him and his flaws, something that was hard to come by in hell.

As they finished their meal, Vox leaned back on the couch and sighed contentedly. "You know, Rosey," he said. "I'm really glad we got to spend some time together today. I always feel so much happier and lighter whenever I'm with you."

He smiled at her warmly, his eyes softening as he gazed at her. "You're one of a kind, Rosey. Don't ever forget that."

Vox felt a pang of affection in his chest at Rose's display of affection. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, holding her close to him as she shimmered and cuddled up to him.

"I appreciate your concern, Rosey," he said, his voice soft and gentle. "But don't worry about me. I'm just dealing with some work-related stress right now. I'll be okay."

He pressed a quick kiss to the top of her head before leaning back on the couch, his arm still around her. "But really, being here with you makes everything feel better. You have a way of brightening up even the darkest of days."

Vox chuckled softly at Rose's response, feeling a warm fondness in his chest at her words. He hugged her close to him, feeling a sense of contentment settle within him at the feel of her snuggled up against him.

"I'm glad you care about me too, Rosey," he said, his voice laced with sincerity. "It means a lot to have someone like you on my side."

He leaned down and kissed her forehead gently, smiling as he pulled away. "And trust me, you are definitely a light in my life. I don't know what I'd do without you around."

Vox settled back on the couch, pulling Rose with him so that they were both lying down against the cushions. He draped an arm over her, enjoying the warmth and softness of her body against his. "Let's just stay like this

Vox felt his heart swell at Rose's words and her soft kiss on his cheek. He couldn't help but feel lucky to have her in his life, someone who cared for him as deeply as he cared for her.

He held her close as she cuddled into him, feeling her gentle grip on his clothes and the warmth of her body against his. As she whispered her agreement to staying just like this, he smiled softly and ran a hand through her hair.

"I will, Rosey," he murmured, his voice tender. "I just want to stay here with you forever, safe and warm like this."

He closed his eyes and savored the peaceful moment, feeling the weight of the day slip away as he held Rose close to him. For him, there was nowhere else he'd rather be than here in this moment with Rose.

As time passed, Vox found himself drifting in and out of sleep, his body relaxed and content with Rose snuggled up against him. He could feel her soft breathing against his chest and the gentle rise and fall of her chest as she slept.

For a while, Vox simply stayed there with her, savoring the warmth and peace of the moment. It was rare that he got to let his guard down like this, even with Rose, but he was grateful for the chance to do so.

Eventually, he stirred awake and gently shifted beneath Rose, careful not to wake her. Slowly, he sat up slightly, holding her close to him so that she wouldn't fall off the couch.

He looked down at her sleeping form, feeling a fondness and protectiveness towards her. With a soft smile, he brushed a lock of hair away from her face and

placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"You're the sweetest thing," he murmured, speaking softly so as not to disturb her. "I'm lucky to have you in my life, Rosey."

He remained there for a few more moments, simply holding her close and admiring her peaceful expression. Then, he carefully stood up with her in his arms, making his way towards the bedroom where he could lay her down properly.

As he walked, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and tenderness towards Rose, and he silently vowed to do everything in his power to protect her and keep her safe.

Vox smiled tenderly as Rose snuggled into him, feeling a warmth in his chest at the trust she placed in him. He carried her gently to the bedroom and laid her down on the bed, making sure the blankets were pulled up over her.

Once he was sure she was comfortable and secure, he sat down next to her and watched her sleep for a few moments. Despite his own weariness, he found it hard to look away from her peaceful expression.

Finally, he leaned down and kissed her forehead again, murmuring softly to her.

"Sleep well, my sweet Rosey," he whispered. "I'll be here when you wake up."

With a last gentle caress of her hair, he stood up and moved to leave the room, knowing that he still had work to do. However, as he left the room, he couldn't

help but feel a sense of longing to stay by her side and watch over her. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those thoughts and focus on the tasks ahead.

As he walked back towards the living room, he realized that he felt strangely empty without Rose's presence beside him. It was a feeling he was unaccustomed to, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was starting to develop deeper feelings for her than he had anticipated.

Vox pushed those thoughts aside for the moment and tried to focus on the work at hand, but a part of him couldn't shake the feeling that something was changing between him and Rose.

As Rose made her way through the tower, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation at the thought of spending the evening with Valentino. Despite all of his flaws, she had grown to care for him deeply and enjoyed their time together.

Finally, she arrived at the designated meeting spot, feeling her heart racing in her chest. Valentino was there waiting for her, dressed in his usual flamboyant style with a carnation in his lapel.

"My, my Rosey," he purred, his eyes lighting up as he saw her. "You look positively radiant this evening."

He took her hand and kissed it gently, leading her towards the dining room where he had prepared a lavish meal for the two of them.

As they sat down to eat, Rose couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment and happiness. For the moment,

Valentino beamed with pleasure at Rose's words, pleased that she was enjoying the atmosphere he had created for them.

"I'm glad you like it, darling," he said, pouring her a glass of red wine. "I wanted to make this evening special for us, just the two of us."

They chatted amiably throughout the meal, Valentino regaling her with tales of his latest film projects and Rose sharing stories about her life before coming to Hell. As they finished their dessert, Valentino stood up and extended his hand to her.

"May I have this dance, my dear?" he asked, motioning towards the open space on the other side of the room.

Rose smiled and took his hand, letting him lead her to the center of the room. They danced together in silence for a few moments, swaying to the soft music, before

Valentino tried to hide his unease from Rose, not wanting to ruin the moment that they were having together. He forced a smile and twirled her around once more before pulling her back in close.

"Everything's fine, my dear," he murmured, running a hand down the curve of her spine. "I just have a lot on my mind lately."

He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her temple, trying to reassure her that everything was okay even though it clearly wasn't.

In truth, he had been grappling with a difficult decision for some time now. Marla had been making increasingly bold moves in her efforts to unseat him as one of the top overlord's in Hell. And while he had tried to ignore her barbs and taunts, they were starting to wear on him.

But he didn't want to burden Rose

Valentino looked down into Rose's eyes, feeling a sense of calm wash over him as he gazed into her caring gaze.

"It's Marla," he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "She's been making things difficult for me lately."

He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing on. "She keeps calling me, asking for money and trying to get back together with me. And when I tell her no, she gets nasty...says some really hurtful things."

Valentino felt embarrassed to be admitting this to Rose, knowing that it made him seem weak and vulnerable. But he trusted her, more than anyone else, and knew that he could confide in her without fear of judgment.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have burdened you with all of this," he said, looking away from her momentarily. "I'll figure

Rose kept a calming hold on Valentino's face, her thumb softly stroking his cheekbone. She listened patiently to everything he said, letting him finish without interruption.

Then she gently took one of his hands and held it in both of hers, pressing it to her chest. "You never burden me, Val. I'm here for you, always," she said sincerely.

She was touched that he would open up to her like this, and she felt honored that he trusted her enough to confide in her. She understood the power of a toxic ex-lover and the ability to bring someone down with their words and actions.

She returned his gaze and offered words of comfort. "I'm sorry that she's putting you through all of this. But you're stronger than she is, and you don't need someone like her in your life. You deserve so much

Valentino couldn't help but smile in response to Rose's words, feeling a warmth spread through him at her gentle touch and soothing voice. He felt lucky to have someone like her in his life, someone who truly accepted him for who he was and wanted nothing but the best for him.

He squeezed her hand in gratitude, feeling a sense of peace wash over him as he closed his eyes and leaned into her touch. "Thank you, Rose. You always know just what to say."

He let out a deep sigh before opening his eyes and looking back at her. "You're right...I don't need her in my life. And I won't let her bring me down anymore. I have better things to focus on than someone who only wants to hurt me."

Valentino felt a renewed sense of determination wash over him, knowing that he had Rose and

the other Vees by his side, supporting him every step of the way. "I'll be okay," he said softly, offering her a small smile. "I have all of you. And that's more than enough."

He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek, feeling a surge of affection for her. "Thank you for being here for me, Rose. You're truly one of a kind."

He pulled away from her, giving her hand one last squeeze before standing up and walking towards the door. "I have some work to do, but I'll catch up with you later, okay? Maybe we can watch a movie or something."

With that, he opened the door and left, feeling lighter than he had in days. He knew that he still had some tough times ahead, but with Rose and the other Vees by his side,

As Rose walked into Velvette's studio, the smell of fresh fabrics and sewing machines filled her senses. The room was illuminated only by the soft glow of the lights hanging from above, casting a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Velvette was sitting at her desk, manicuring her nails with a satisfied smile on her face. She looked up as Rose walked in, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

"Rosey!" she exclaimed, jumping up from her seat and running towards her. "You're just in time for our fashion walk! I just finished my latest collection and I have the perfect outfit for you!"

She immediately took Rose's hand and led her towards the changing rooms, gesturing excitedly towards the rack of clothing. "I can't wait for you to try this on! It's going to look amazing on you!"

As Rose changed into the outfit, Vel

vette continued to chatter excitedly, detailing all the intricate details and design choices she had made for the outfit. The dress was a beautiful combination of black and gold, with a figure-hugging silhouette that accentuated Rose's curves perfectly. Velvette had also made matching heels and jewelry to complete the ensemble.

Once Rose had finished changing, Velvette twirled her around to get a better look at the outfit, her eyes shining with pride.

"Absolutely stunning!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands in delight. "You look like a goddess, Rosey! I can't wait to see you strut your stuff on the runway!"

She led Rose towards a makeshift runway she had set up in the middle of the studio, where they both took their places at the end of the catwalk.

With a flourish of her hand, Velvette signaled the start of the show,

and Rose began to walk down the runway with confidence, her hips swaying and her long braid bouncing behind her. The room was filled with the sound of Velvette's applause, interspersed with praise and words of encouragement.

As Rose reached the end of the runway, she struck a pose with her hand on her hip before turning around and walking back towards Velvette. She could feel the warmth of Velvette's smile radiating through the air, and it filled her with a sense of happiness and purpose.

"That was amazing, Rosey!" Velvette exclaimed, a note of pride in her voice. "You were made for the runway, my dear! I can't wait to see what else you can do."

Rose smiled widely, her heart overflowing with gratitude for Velvette and the opportunities she had given her. "Thank you, Velvette," she said

Velvette smiled widely at Rose's words, her heart full of joy and pride. "You are a natural on the runway, my dear," she said, stepping forward to adjust the hem of the dress slightly. "And I am honored to be the one to provide you with the tools to feel that way."

She stood back and admired Rose's beauty, twirling a strand of her hair absentmindedly. "I've always believed that fashion is a form of self-expression, a way to showcase the beauty within us all," she mused. "And seeing you wear my creations like this... It just confirms that belief."

She walked over to a nearby table and picked up a sketchbook, flipping through the pages until she found a design that caught her eye. "In fact, I have a new design I want to try out," she said, her

voice filled with excitement. "It's a daring, spicy number that will really turn heads. And I think you're just the girl to pull it off."

Rose's eyes lit up with curiosity and anticipation. She couldn't resist the temptation of trying on yet another one of Velvette's exquisite designs.

"Really? I'd love to try it on!" she exclaimed, smiling from ear to ear.

Velvette chuckled, pleased with Rose's enthusiasm. "I thought you might," she said with a wink. "Now let me just grab it and we can get you all dolled up."

She turned and disappeared into her workspace, behind a flowing curtain of deep red velvet. Moments later, she reappeared with a hanger draped in a red dress that bore a tantalising slit that went up to her thigh.

"Behold!" Velvette said as she

presented the dress to Rose. "This dress is sure to make a statement. The vibrant red color complements your skin tone beautifully, and the slit will show off your long, lithe legs."

Rose bit her lip in excitement as she took the dress from Velvette's hands. "It's absolutely stunning," she said, holding it up to herself. "I can't wait to put it on."

Velvette clapped her hands together. "Good, because we have much work to do!" she exclaimed, taking Rose by the hand and leading her towards a vanity table covered in cosmetics.

"So tell me," Velvette said as she began to carefully apply makeup to Rose's face. "What have you been doing with your free time lately? Have you had any fun adventures?"

Rose thought for a moment before answering. "Nothing too exciting," she admitted.

Velvette smiled brightly as she listened to Rose's words. "I'm so glad that you've been having such a great day," she said, carefully applying some mascara to Rose's lashes. "And don't worry about me, dear. Yes, it's been hectic as usual, but I wouldn't have it any other way."

She paused to admire her handiwork, her eyes scanning over Rose's face. "You really are a natural beauty," she said, her voice soft and genuine. "But a bit of makeup never hurt anyone."

Rose blushed at the compliment, feeling a warmth spread across her cheeks. "Thank you, Velvette," she said, her voice gentle. "That means a lot coming from you."

Velvette grinned and picked up a lipstick, uncapping it and applying it to Rose's lips with precision. "You're

too sweet, my dear," she said fondly as she finished off the look. "Now, let's get you into that dress and show the world what a stunning creature you are."

Rose stood up slowly, feeling the weight of the dress in her hands. Her heart was pounding with excitement as she carefully slid it on, the fabric clinging to her curves in all the right places. She twirled around, admiring it in the mirror.

"It's perfect," she said, smiling over her shoulder at Velvette. "Thank you so much for creating something so beautiful."

Velvette beamed with pride as she surveyed Rose's appearance. "You wear it well, my dear," she said. "Now, let's go find Vox and Valentino and show them what they're missing."

Velvette giggled at Rose's excitement, her own excitement growing as well. "Excellent, my dear," she said, taking Rose's arm. "I was hoping you'd be up for a bit of an adventure."

She led Rose out of the room, the two of them walking down the hallways of the tower. As they walked, other demons nodded respectfully at Rose, recognizing her status as an overlord.

Eventually, they made it to Vox's room, where he was sitting at his desk with a frown on his face. He looked up as they entered, his expression brightening at the sight of Rose.

"Well, well," he said, getting up and walking over to them. "I see Velvette's been keeping you busy. And my, my, don't you look stunning."

Rose felt herself blushing at Vox's words, her

heart racing with nervous excitement. She had always found Vox to be a bit charming, but also knew he could be difficult to deal with at times. However, she was feeling too confident in herself and the dress to let any negativity bring her down.

"Thank you, Vox," she said, giving him a small smile. "Velvette made it for me. Do you like it?"

Vox smirked, looking her up and down. "I most certainly do," he said, his eyes glittering mischievously. "In fact, I think I might have to plan a photoshoot with you later, just to commemorate this moment."

Rose raised an eyebrow at the suggestion, feeling both flattered and a bit wary. She didn't know exactly what kind of photoshoot he had in mind, but hoped it wasn't too inappropriate.

Before she could say

anything, Valentino showed up in the room. "What photoshoot?" He asked with a grin. "I hope I'm not too late."

Rose's eyes widened as she saw Valentino and Vox regarding her, both with a sinister look on their faces. Looking back at Velvette for some help, Rose wondered what exactly they had planned for her.
