It's been 2 years ever since you and Mammon started dating, you were pleasantly surprised when Mammon was the one who confessed instead of you, but now it's been so long ever since that, and Mammon finally convinced Lucifer and Diavolo to let you live in Devildom permanently, he was also planning to convince Lucifer to move you into his room; let's just say that project is still in progress. You hear a loud knock knock at the corner, letting out a soft 'come in' and the door opens. Mammon heads inside with a cup of tea for you, "Hey MC! I got ya' some tea, since uh.. You've been pretty busy.." Mammon says, handing you the cup and sits beside you. "Aren't you supposed to be in your room and working on your schoolwork?" You chuckle, reminding Mammon of his 43 late assignments in which if he doesn't do, a certain someone will take away his precious goldie.

"W-What d'ya mean?! I did all 34 of the work I was s'possed to do! Don't underestimate the Great Mammon!" Mammon says, boasting about how he's done 'all' of his work. "You idiot.. You mean the 43 schoolworks you were supposed to do?" You giggle out, being amused at Mammon trying to find a way out of this situation, and you giggle even more when Mammon's face turns bright red due to getting outed. "Y-yeah! I meant 43! Just a slip of the Great Mammon's tongue!" Mammon says

"Well, finish or not... I'm kinda busy MC... Another long photoshoot and such, and well.. I know I promised to take you on a date but are you free later at 7?" Mammon says, looking away in guilt when he sees your face sadden up. "I'm truly sorry MC... They called so suddenly so I-" Mammon tries to say something but you quickly cut him off "It's fine darling! We can just go to the cafe tomorrow! Now hurry along dear, wouldn't want you to worry your team by being absurdly late." You giggle out, giving Mammon a goodbye kiss making him fluster up, you chuckle at how even if you two have been dating for over 2 years, he still gets flustered by a peck on the lips. "W-well.. I'll be goin' now, Love ya' MC" Mammon says, heading out the door as you go back to finishing your schoolwork.

As Mammon heads towards the shooting place, he comes across this person he's been talking to recently, "So... Made up your mind, Avatar of Greed?" The mysterious figure says, holding out a dagger and hands it out to Mammon, "Yep.. Are you ready to keep up your end of the deal this time?" Mammon says as he takes the dagger out of their hand and slips it in his pocket. "Of course of course, after all, this one seems different so I hope you won't run away with your tail between your legs" The mysterious figure chuckles out, and proceeds to walk away "And by the way pretty boy, you should head to your.. Whatever that is, cameras and such, wouldn't want your photo crew to go bankrupt due to your lack of presence" the mysterious figure says as they walk away, leaving Mammon all by himself

☆☆☆
After what it felt like 3 hours, you finally finish on the last bit of schoolwork you had, and helped Mammon a little by doing some of his assignments, you get a text from Mammon

The Great Mammon: Hey MC! I'll be home in 30 minutes with some food!
You: Thanks darlin, we can eat the food tomorrow, I'm kinda tired
The Great Mammon: Alrighty hun, almost home

You smile at the texts, happy that tomorrow will be a fun day for you, waking up to food Mammon bought for you, having a fun date with him, strolling through the park, just thinking about it makes your heart skip a beat or two. As you head towards the bed, going into a deep sleep content with what happened today.

As Mammon enters the door he seems irritated yet at the same time, adrenaline is coursing through his blood. Well.. Plan A didn't work so I guess I'll have to do plan B.. Sorry darlin' but business is business Mammon chuckled as he headed towards your room.

You woke up feeling heavy and puffing your chest, having the worst headache ever and your sight was blurry, you see a blurry Mammon on the phone talking... You can't hear well yet you could also sum up his conversation on the phone "Yeah Yeah.... Well you DID..... Don't give me that you little..... Better give me the money for the assassination... Good.." You were hearing nothing and everything at the same time What...? What is Mammon talking about.. Who is he talking to... Assassination? W-what's happening? You thought as the pain worsened and your clothes were visibly dark red as well as your blanket "M- mammon...? W- what's happening? I'm in.. so much.. pain.." You say softly, your mind not thinking straight and jumping to so many conclusions, but all Mammon does is chuckle softly, "I'm sorry dear but haven't you already learned? The Great Mammon treasures nothing more than riches" Mammon exclaims, with a smirk on his face as you were extremely dumbfounded

Your lover? Assassinating you..?

Did he even love you while you were dating for 2 years? Or was it all just for grimm

Oh right... He's a demon... The Avatar of Greed, he never cared about your feelings or your love for him, he only cared about riches and treasures

After all, everyone always said that a human isn't supposed to be dating a demon, let alone the Avatar of Greed as it only leads them to getting tricked. You should've taken their words to heart and not helplessly fall in love with him. Now look where it got you

Dead, and betrayed by your lover. The Avatar of Greed.

Look where your selfishness took you.
