The Mafia's Angel

Chapter 2

Starr's POV

I snuggle into the warm sheets. Wait, warm sheets?! Where am I.

I slowly open my eyes, and find myself in a large bedroom. My feet and hands are bandaged, and many of the cuts I had before were also covered up.

I hear the door open slowly, and look who it is. Someone who I have never seen before gives me a warm smile and walks in with a tray of food. He sets it down on my bed and sits.

"Hi, my name's Lorenzo, but my friends call me Renzo, so since we're friends you can call me that" he says still smiling.

"I don't even know who you are" I rasp, my throat extremely dry. 

He hands me a glass of water, and I accept gratefully.

"Well, we might not be friends yet, but I am telling you this, we will be"

I roll my eyes at him and grab the plate with the grilled cheese on it. I moan when I bite in.

"Well, if you made this sandwich I suppose can be friends"

"Its good isn't it" he says smirking.

"No it's not good, it's f*****g delicious" I say, and devour it in a few bites.

"Renzo, how long have I been here?" I ask when I'm done.

"About 4 days"

"Why am I here, why did I get moved out of the cell, who is the person who kidn*pped me, who's that other gu—"

I get cut off but the door opening again and the other guy walks in.

"Lorenzo, leave" he orders.

Before Renzo walks out he says.

"Go easy on her Elijah"

He just glances at him, then back at me.

His deep blue eyes stare at me unwavering, cold, I can't see any feelings or expressions.

He walks closer. "So Tesoro, it seems like you saw something you shouldn't have. What am I going to do with you" he says, and there's an evil glint in his eyes.

I want to beg him to let me go, but I know it will do no good. I clear my face of my terrified expression, and stare blankly at him.

In a monotone voice I ask "why am I in this room"

"You're only alive because Lorenzo begged me to save you"

I'm shocked. Why would he do that.

"Since I can't let you go, I've decided you're going to work for me. You have three choices. Stripper, assassin, but I doubt you'd last long, or you extract information from my enemies. What will it be?"

No way am I going to kill someone so assassin is not an option. Stripping in front of hundreds of strangers makes me want to puke, so I guess I'll do the last one.

"The last one" I murmur quietly.

I feel his hand grab my chin and jerk my face to face him. "Look at me when you speak Tesoro" he orders.

For a few seconds we stare at each other, but he finally let's go and walks out of the room. Before closing the door I hear "you start tomorrow"

Tomorrow?! I don't even know what I have to do. I feel my eyes drooping and I welcome the darkness of my sleep.

"Agh" I gasp, when I'm waken up by a splash of water in my face.

I look up to see a very scary looking woman dressed in a maid clothes. Why couldn't Elijah have let me become a maid I think to myself.

"Get up, I brought you some clothes to change into after you wash" she says and stalks out.

Geez, what's her problem. I wipe the sleep out of my eyes and look at the clothes. My eyes basically pop out of my head. These aren't clothed, it's underwear.

I look down at what I'm wearing right now, and I still have my hoody. Okay, I'll just have to wear that overtop.

I shower, and start getting dressed. I put on the thong and push-up bra and  the mini dress that barely reached my thighs.

I look in the mirror. I look like a w***e. I dry my hair, and leave it down. My hoodie, that reaches down to my mid thighs, covers me and I sigh thankfully.

I open the door, and look out into a hall. I creep down the hall to a staircase, and walk down, to end up in some sort of living room.

Wait, now could be my chance to escape. I see a door, and rush over to it. To my surprise it's unlocked, and I rip it open.

"Now now Tesoro, where do you think you're going" I hear a cold voice, and feel something cold and hard pressed into the back of my head. It's Elijah.

He has a gun to my head. I stop moving completely and he chuckles.

"Now, you are going to do exactly as I say, or I will first give you to my men, then blow your brains out"

That sends shivers through my whole body.

"You are going to follow me into my office, where I will explain exactly what you are going to do"

I nod my head, and feel the gun leave my head.

I turn around, and follow Elijah. He walks into what I assume is his office and sits on his chair behind his desk.

"Now, first things first. Take off that hoodie, it looks horrendous"

"No" I say bravely, surprising myself.

"No? And why not" he smirks at me.

"The dress is disgusting" I basically spit at him "it doesn't cover anything"

"And you think I care?" He laughs coldly. "The whole point of this job is to seduce information out of people. Now take it off" he grows serious again.

I feel my face contort in anger, and I don't move. "I will not walk around in this dress"

Before I know it I'm pushed up against his wall, and he has his hands around my neck.

"Tesoro, you don't know who you're dealing with, so I suggest you do as I say"

I shake my head, tears springing to my eyes, as he starts to squeeze my neck harder.
