Starr's POV
"Get the f**k away from her Elijah ! "
I hear someone scream , Elijah lets go of my neck , and i fall to the floor , gasping for breath .
" Lorenzo , stay the f**k out of this he growls . "
" No man , I won't , you could've killed her ! " Renzo yells at him and comes towards me . " What was this about anyways ? "
" I was going to send her on a mission today to extract information from Valentino , but she refused to wear what I asked her to "
" Are you crazy ! Valentino is too dangerous , he can kill her ! "
"Okay , that will save me the trouble then " Elijah smirks at me evilly .
Renzo is about to yell at him again , but I grab his arm .
I don't want them to fight because of me .
" Renzo , its okay , I'm fine " I whisper , since its painful to talk .
He scoffs and walks out , throwing an angry look at Elijah ,
" Now , where were we , ah yes , your first mission . I will be sending you to a bar , where Valentino , my biggest enemy will be tonight . I expect you seduce him , and get as much information out of him . "
" What kind of information ? " I ask , since i know its pointless to refuse .
" Anything , but in particular when he plans to attack me . And if you even try to escape or tell someone , I will make sure your pretty little head will be disconnected from your body in seconds " he says in fake sweet tone .
I nod numbly .
" Use your voice Tesoro "
" Okay " I roll my eyes . "
" I'm letting that eye roll go since we don't have much time anymore . Maria will come and do your make - up , and Stefano will bring you to the bar and back . Remember what I said , don't even think about escaping . "
I get up and walk out of his office , thinking I should probably go back to my room .
Once I'm out I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding .
That man is the definition of danger . I would rather die then stay here , so I decide to make a plan to escape tonight .
I arrive on my room , and find a pretty woman waiting there for me .
" Ah , you must be Starr , I'm Maria , I'll be doing your make - up " she smiles at me .
I smile back , since she seems really sweet .
" Since you're naturally pretty I'll focus on making your pretty eyes pop , and covering up your bruises.
She sits me down on a stool and gets to work .
After a bit she asks me " would you mind taking off your hoody , I need to know what you're wearing to theme your make - up to it "
" Uh , sure I guess " I reluctantly start taking off my sweater , and I hear a soft gasp .
" Well then , uh , I'll be doing a smoky eye look " she says awkwardly .
I squirm in my seat , trying to pull the dress lower .
When she's done she makes me stand and look in the mirror .
I see a completely different person staring back at me .
I almost burst out in tears .
I don't even look like myself anymore, rather a girl you would see at a strip club. Sure, I look gorgeous , but I hate this .
Maria sees my expression , and pats my back .
" You'll be fine " she says .
I shake my head , and thank her .
Renzo suddenly pops into my room .
" Oh wow Starr , you look- well damn you look amazing " he says his eyes wide .
" Yea , if you think looking like a slut is amazing " I say rolling my eyes .
He gulps and looks a bit guilty .
" Uh , Stefano is waiting at the car , I'll bring you there . I wish I could come , but Elijah assigned me to do something else " he looks annoyed
" It's fine Renzo , thank you for being a good friend
" We get to the car , and I turn around to look at him . He's been so nice , and protected me from Elijah multiple times . I will miss him .
I pull him into a hug , and I feel him freeze .
To my relief he hugs me back .
" Aww Starr , have you already gotten attached to me " he says teasingly I don't reply
" I'm gonna miss you " I mumble .
" Ha , so you're the clingy type . Don't worry babe , I'll be here when you get back " he winks at me .
" I didn't mean it like that " I slap his arm gently .
I hear someone clear their throat , and I turn around .
" Oh right , you need to get going . Starr , this is Stefano . Be careful , Valentino is not someone to be messed with . He will kill you in a second if you piss him off "
" Don't worry about me Renzo , He can't be worse than Elijah " He bursts out laughing , and I hear a low chuckle from Stefano .
About 30 minutes later we arrive at a club .
" Okay Starr , I can't come in with you , but there's a microphone in your installed in your dress , so I can hear everything . I will be there immediately if something goes wrong "
" Thank you Stef , is it okay if I call you that ? "
"course , be careful "
I get out of the car and smooth down my dress .
I feel a bit better knowing there's a microphone , but now how will I escape .
There's probably also a tracking device .
I walk into the club , and immediately feel out of place .
This is definitely not my kind of environment . There are guys all over the place , and girls in nothing but underwear .
I look around the club trying to find someone who matches Valentino's description . Then my eyes land on him .
He has about 5 girls all over him .
How the hell am I supposed to get him to notice me .
He has black hair , that is starting to gray .
Renzo said he's about 50 years old .
I shudder , even thinking about him touching me makes me want to puke .
I decide to walk past him first of all , and see if he notices me .
With my head high , I strut past him , trying to look confident .
I sneak a look behind me , and I see him staring .
He winks at me , and I hold back a gag . Instead , I smirk at him , and sit down at the bar .
A drink won't hurt , I need to calm my nerves .
I order a scotch , and after only 2 sips I feel a presence behind me .
I close my eyes , take a deep breath and turn around with a seductive smile on my face .
Sure enough , it's the man w***e Valentino .
" Aren't you a pretty little thing "
