Ch. 32: The Hurt Never Stops

Once the rest arrived, they all sat at the large table. Asmodeus was ready to hear this, it was the most entertaining thing he's heard in a long time and he just HAD to know how this happened.

"Okay, spill! Right now!" Bee shouted, excited and leaning forward on the table. "How did you two get together?!"

Mammon looked at Glitz.

"Do you want to start, Love?" He asked with care. "I can handle it if you want, I know it's... not easy to tell."

"I can handle it." Glitz said, before looking down, "... My sister is dead."

A pin could be dropped and ring like a gong with how quiet it just got as the Sins/Royal family gazed at Glitz in shock.

Pushing through, Glitz clenched her fists and continued.

"It was two years ago... she had to go to the Pride Ring... she didn't realize it was Extermination Day." Glitz said as tears began to form in her eyes.

"W-Why?" Emily asked.

"I asked her to go as my representative for a business meeting in Pride." Mammon said, feeling guilty as he gazed at the table.

"When I heard the news, I... was a lot of emotions." Glitz said, "We tended to fight and insult each other a lot, but... she was still my sister... my better half."

"And when you lost her, you lost a part of yourself." Asmodeus said with a frown.

"That's putting it lightly, I became a complete wreck." Glitz said with a sad chuckle as she began to cry. "I couldn't perform, I couldn't eat, I couldn't even speak without falling apart because I always assume Glam is there to correct, argue, or finish a sentence if I can't think of what to say next. But-But without her...."

"You felt empty." Emily said, clenching her hand against her pants.

Emily could related, for a time anyway. She felt empty and lost after her fall but she was lucky enough to gain a new family with a new sister to help her.

Plus... being sinfully gluttonous and eating everything in sight. She even secreltly still eats furniture and other non-food objects when nobody is looking or around.

"I was at my lowest during one practice, throwing angelic knives at a board and.....I saw my reflection...." Glitz said, thinking back to that day. "It was like seeing her again... and I just broke. Nearly stabbed myself if it wasn't for this big greedy teddy bear."

"Well, I couldn't let my best employee go out like that." Mammon said, smiling.

'Teddy bear?' Everyone thought about the strangely cute nickname.

"Something about that day kinda... just switched for me." Mammon said, "I don't know why but I stopped caring about money for a minute and started to care more about her."

"I honestly never thought I'd hear you say something like that, former boss." Fizz said, holding his hand up. "No offense."

"Non taken and right? I never thought I'd see it but it happened and I don't regret it." Mammon said with a smile, holding Glitz close and planted a kiss on her cheek.

SNAP!

"Sorry, I had to get physical evidence for later." Bee said with her phone out.

"Why?" Asmodeus asked.

"Cuz Tex and Loo won't believe me if I didn't." Bee said.

"I oughta charge you for that pic." Mammon said.

"I can pay it." Bee said with a grin.

"I think we're missing the point here. Uncle Mammon is in love!" Charlie said, so happy for Mammon and Glitz.

"So my hearts not made of stone." Mammon said, crossing his arms, "Sue me."

Glitz leaned against him and held onto one of his arms.

"It's alright, Mam-Mam. I don't mind if our relationship becomes public." Glitz said.

"Mam-Mam?" Asmodeus said as he tried to not laugh.

"Ah, shut it." Mammon told Asmodeus, before turning to Glitz, "Oh, I don't either, but I just don't want people to think you are with me for money, I don't want you to endure that kind of abuse."

"If anyone tries then I know my big greedy teddy bear will handle them." Glitz said.

The two then started kissing.

"Awwww." Emily and Charlie let out, finding this adorable.

Mammon then used his arms to lift her up and they started to kiss... harder.

Charlie is very glad she left Lucy with Vagge at the castle, because she didn't need the kid seeing this.

"Should we be watching this?" Fizz whispered to Ozzie.

"I mean, I'm the sin of lust but this is even awkward for me." Ozzie replied, looking away. "Most of all, it's my brother."

"I think we've heard enough, let's leave them be." Emily said, standing up. "I'd rather get back to the Pride ring anyway, I do have a hotel to run."

"And I've got a baby to check in on." Charlie said as she got up.

"Speaking of babies, I've also got some news." Bee said with a smile. "Loona's expecting in a few months."

"Wait... so both you AND Loona are pregnant?" Emily asked, "... Do condoms not exist in Gluttony?"

Bee chuckled a bit and patted Emily on the head.

"How many times have you been there, Sinnamon Roll?" Bee asked, "You should know the answer."

That made Asmodeus laugh.

"Okay, I'm heading home." Emily said, feeling a bit disgusted.

She stood up and walked out of Mammons house and did not stop until she got back to her limo.

"Razzle, Dazzle, take me home." Emily said, as Dazzle held the door open for her.

The two goats dragon... things... hissed and saluted. The limo started moving and Emily watched the green sky blend into the yellow of Gluttony. She was playing on her phone through most of Gluttony, when she got a call from Charlie. She answered and put her phone by her ear.

"Yes, Charlie?" She asked.

"I have to say, that was a bit of a shock." Charlie said.

"You think?" Emily asked, leaning back. "I hope they're ready, because they'll have two babies to deal with."

"Yeah... so how's the hotel?" Charlie asked, "It's been a while since I got to just sit down and speak with everyone."

"I can say the same." Emily said, smiling a bit. "Angel has been busy working under Asmodeus, seems pretty happy honestly, so I haven't seen him much. Alastor has been out quite frequently, not sure about what that's really about. Sir Pentious has been doing great work at Carmilla Carmine's company, I hear he even has his own office now, really becoming a big shot, I even have heard him talking to his remaining eggs about someone special."

"Pentious is in love?! I need to get time to go over there!" Charlie said, extremely happy.

"Yeah. So, really Niffty and Husk are the only two constantly at the Hotel. Well, then there's Velvette, but... she's on a date." Emily said.

"Oh... well bringing her up kinda ruined my mood." Charlie said, losing her joy.

"Hey, when you get to know her, she's not that bad, just got swept up with some bad people." Emily said, "Like you said, everyone deserves a second chance. She's actively trying to better herself, unlike some people."

"Yeah, speaking of, I heard that Valentino was found dead... got anything to do with that?" Charlie asked.

"I...KRRR!...Wrath...KRRRR...lose you..." Emily said, pretending her phone is losing signal. "KRRR! Phone...BZZ...signal...KRRRRR!

"Emily!" Charlie said, knowing this was fake! "Don't you DARE!"

Emily ended the call, with a somewhat guilty grin on her face.

"I mean... I do tend to lose signal in Wrath, so it's not that much of a lie." Emily said, putting her phone away.

After a few hours, Emily was back at the Hotel. She got out of the limo and stretched.

"Ah, home sweet hotel." She said, walking inside and sitting at the bar, "I hope Velvette had a good date."

Right after she said that, the doors open. Emily looked over and saw Velvette... and she was crying. Velvette ran up to her room and Emily could hear the door slam.

"Husk... I'm gonna need a couple bottles." Emily said, frowning sadly and sighing loudly.

'Verosika, what the fuck did you do?' Emily thought.
