An Extra’s POV

After the events of that fateful night—the night that he witnessed Alicia's betrayal—Billy only had one thought.

… To make Alicia his no matter what?

He threw away his noble code and whatever vestiges of pride that were left within him.

The self control that held him back snapped, and now that he was unhinged, he could see the light.

Billy knew what had to be done.

He reached out to Evals Redart, and they both reached an agreement.

He would lure Alicia to the agreed-upon location, and that was where the deed would take place.

The only reason he was successful was due to the effects of the ring he had in his right finger—The Ring of Deceit.

All he had to do was touch Alicia with it once, and he would be able to turn into whoever she trusted most.

Earlier that day, he took the first step and brushed past her, using the ring to touch her skin.

She noticed it instantly and shot him a disgusted look, but Billy knew it was only because she was confused.

She misunderstood his intentions.

'This is all for your own good. For the good of both of us…' Was what he thought of anytime he remembered her reaction to him.

She was simply confused—too confused to see that he was the perfect guy for her.

But soon… that would all change.

The entire shop was occupied by his allies—subordinates of Evals Redart. Their purpose was to act as mere enjoyers of the shop and also to act if anything went wrong.

The shop owner had already been 'settled' according to Evals, so Billy figured he already had the guy's permission to use his place of business.

With everything going well—all according to plan—Billy didn't expect his plans to nearly be ruined by an incompetent waitress.

He would have hit her if Alicia wasn't present. However, since she was around, Billy thought he would just let her go by saying a few words.

Apparently, that was too much for Alicia.

He still remembered the look of disgust that she shot at him. It tore him inside.
