Starr's POV
I'm about to respond when the devil himself walks in.
Valentino sees Matteo taking care of my new injuries.
"What happened here?"
"Christian assaulted her"
"What the f**k, I told everyone she's mine" he says angrily.
"I know boss, I'll deal with him"
Valentino walks over to me, caressing my cheek.
"Well well kitten, it looks like Elijah needs more provocation. Matteo, hang her up"
"Boss, is it really necessary to hurt her more" Matteo says, I can't believe he's standing up for me.
"Are you questioning my orders Matteo, have you forgotten who I am and what I've done for you"
"Of course not sir, sorry" he mutters and looks at me defeated.
He unties me, and hangs me by my arms. I'm in a star position, and I have a feeling I know what's coming next.
When Valentino starts ripping off my clothes I shut my eyes and shiver in disgust.
Valentino starts setting up the camera facing me. I desperately want to cover up my naked body.
"I am going to record myself whipping you now kitten."
I look up and see Valentino grinning evilly, and Matteo frowning.
I sigh and close my eyes. I have no hope left except Elijah, but I know he doesn't care about me.
When I feel the first whip on my back I can't hold back the sob that escapes my lips. Tears start pouring down my face.
After 5 whips I feel something warm and thick run down my back. Blood.
"Good job kitten" I feel his hands touch my back. I wince away when his fingers dig into my cuts.
His hands run down too my ass, cupping it.
"Such a beautiful ass princess" he says and slaps it.
Before I know it, he's whipping me again, over my already fresh wounds. I feel my eyes starting to close, and I look at the camera one last time.
Please Elijah, come.

Elijah's POV
I clench my jaw watching the second video sent to me. Watching Valentino break my principessa's arm was already enough, but to see her hung in the air like a piece of meat tipped me over my tipping point.
She's completely naked, and I see Valentino run his disgusting eyes over her multiple times. I just want to rip out his eyes, and hear his screams.
My Starr screams when he whips her back. I feel shivers of rage run down my back when I see her tears cascading down her cheeks. She doesn't deserve this.
He starts whispering to her, cupping her ass with his hand, and I see shivers racking through her body. When he starts whipping her again she stays completely still, just letting out an occasional whimper.
Her head lifts slowly towards the camera, as if begging me to come save her. Then her body goes completely limp.
My nostrils flare when I see Valentino doesn't stop. Then to my surprise, a guy comes and grabs the whip from him. "Enough boss, don't you see she's unconscious"
I see a smirk on Valentino's face.
I suddenly see from Starr's back. There are so many deep red welts in her her, blood dripping down. I see red. I fling my phone against the wall and see it break into a thousand different pieces.
Then one of my men bursts through the door.
"Boss, we have her location"
I shoot up "tell Renzo to gather all the men, and get there as fast as possible"
I'm getting my principessa back tonight, and from then on keeping her with me forever.

Starr's POV
I blink my eyes open, feeling am overwhelming pain in my back. I try to move, but cry out in pain.
"Well well, look who's up" drawls a voice I know too well.
I just want to sink back into unconsciousness. It was so peaceful.
Valentino starts coming towards me, and I shrink away from him. He chuckles.
"You are so attractive right now kitten, I really want to f**k you right now. With all my marks on you, so helpless in front of me, my d**k is getting so hard"
His hand runs up and down my leg, and I flinch when he squeezes one of my bruises.
"But now is not the time for that, once Elijah is dead, I will take you whenever I want" he growls in my ear.
"For now, I'll satisfy myself in whipping you more. It seems 6 whips weren't enough"
No, I can't take anymore whips in my back. It's too tender already.
"No please, no more whips" I beg him quietly. He just laughs, and I feel the first lash on my back, rolling open my wounds.
I scream in agony, and he just continues. After 3 whips I can't feel my back anymore, my whole body is numb.
After 4, I feel my eyes closing again.
After 5 I hear the door to the room slam open.
I rip open my eyes, and see Elijah standing there. His eyes find mine, and they contort with rage.
Renzo and Stefano run in after him. They start coming towards me, when I feel the cold metal of a gun pointed at my back.
"Long time no see Elijah" Valentino chuckles from behind me.
"Give up Valentino, I have your house surrounded, all your men are dead, you won't be getting out of here alive" Elijah seethes.
"No I won't, but none of you will either"
I see Elijah's jaw clench, and he motions for Renzo and Stef to surround Valentino.
I hear a gunshot behind me, then silence. I try to look back, but a hand gently grabs my face.
"Don't look Tesoro" Elijah breathes into my neck, while untying me.
I feel my limbs free, and I drop onto Elijah, glad for his support. I still can't believe he came.
He carries me to the door, and I see an injured Matteo lying outside, still conscious.
"Wait Elijah, take Matteo with you, he helped me, please" I beg him. I don't want Matteo to die because of me.
Elijah stops and tightens his arm around me. I whimper when he touches my whip marks. He quickly loosens his hold, and stares at Matteo.
"Renzo, Valentino, Take him with us, take him to a doctor."
I let out a grateful breath "thank you"
"Of course principessa, I'll do anything for you. I will never let you go"
