The Mafia's Angel

Chapter 3

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 to 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 a 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 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 smokey 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 look like such a cheap slut. 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?"

"Yea of 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"
