Assistant to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain, #1)

by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Marvin—Trystan’s favorite, if he had favorites, which of course he didn’t; he was evil—his not favorite guard

lol sure buddy

“I’ll ask again. Just in case you did not hear me,” she said coldly.

did i stutter?

since she wanted to rip her father’s head from his neck. But she was certain that would upset Lyssa, so she decided not to cause her little sister more trauma than she had accumulated thus far.

i like that that’s the reason 🙂‍↕️ 👑

With a small smile of resolve, Evie dug deep inside herself with the last of her strength. “I don’t want to be good.” The last word was spoken with a malevolence Evie hadn’t been certain she possessed. But hearing it now—it felt pleasant. More, it felt right.

and so the villain arc begins

“No, I didn’t,” Evie whispered, finding pity for this broken man. “If anyone ruined anything”—she leaned closer to him—“it would be you.”

she’s VILLAINOUS EEK

unmoved. “There is no room in my world for someone who hurt me the way you did. You do not belong walking on the ground I walk or breathing the air I breathe. You don’t get to move on or be redeemed. Your story is finished. Whatever happens to you now is of no concern to me.” She sounded stronger than she felt as she watched her father open his mouth one final time. “He’s…a…monster,” he rasped out. She knew who he meant. Evie let go of his hand and placed hers on his cheek. “We’re all monsters in the end. At least mine lives in the light.”

HOLY SHIZ BRO WHAT A BADDIE

Another swig. “Er,” he interrupted. “Should I take that—”

aw looking after her

But she smiled, and he thought, I can’t be that bad, then.

oh love

if there was anyone I would share this with, it would be you.”

aw

He told me I had potential, that I was capable of great things.” There was a sheen to Trystan’s dark eyes as he stared at the crackle in the fireplace. “No one had ever said that to me before.” He chuckled. “And no one has since.”

😭😭😭 poor baby

“They didn’t.” His lips lifted a little. “I let myself out.”

👑👑

She didn’t realize everything he was already belonged to her.

🤤🤤hellooo

It was both appallingly horrific and devastatingly wonderful that this small wisp of a woman had undone years of building pillars of protection around himself. That he would take apart any wall that kept him from her.

tru wuv

“My notebook. I left it in my father’s office.” “I’ll purchase another for you, and before you say no, consider it part of your supply budget.” He was being kind.

aw

“Why would one need a party for tea? Don’t you just drink it? What on earth is the party for?”

lol

“You may finish her off as you please; just be sure to save the body. I’ll have use for it after she’s gone.”

this is the most disgusting thing i’ve ever read

“What could be better…for The Villain’s whore.” Evie closed her palm and her eyes, feeling the burn of pain in every pore, feeling it pulse in her blood. “Actually,” she rasped out. She opened her eyes. “I’m. His. Fucking. Assistant,” she whispered and smiled, before whipping the dagger up and slitting his throat.

GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE BIIISSHHH

The dagger pulsed in her hand once more, and she gripped it, becoming a mask of calm, as she turned toward Otto’s dead body. She smiled.

oh bros out for blood now

“There. Now you can see me more clearly.” “The horror. Put it out.”

lol sassy king

“I suppose you think your crimes are excusable, so long as you commit them in the dark.”
