VALENTINA'S POV"How is she?" I was hearing voices."You can rest assured. There are no severe damages. She just needs to rest and in a couples days will be up on her feet.""Matteo." I heard the authoritative tone of a man call. "Yes, Don.""What about him?" The don, as I heard he was called, questioned."He has been locked up in the confinement room for now." Matteo said, and from the voice I could tell it was the man from before. "What about her?""She's good. Just waiting for her to wake up." The don said.I was too weak to open my eyes, even though I was fully awake."I'll leave the boy to you. Don't kill him, yet." The don stated before I heard footsteps distancing. Then a breeze of masculine cologne wafted into my nostrils, I had to hold myself from moaning. "I guess, I didn't warn you enough, of you refused to run at the first hint." He said, and his voice, like stone dipped into water. That was how low and gruff it was. It sent shivers down my spine that I nearly shivered.

VALENTINA'S POVThe footsteps got closer and louder, and I could see his shadow...a man holding a gun.My heart thumped with trepidation as I stumbled back, eyes travelling around the room, as I tried to find where to hide. I looked towards the corner and saw a refrigerator.I gagged, nearly spilling the content in my stomach as I opened the fridge. It was filled with so much dust and rotten foods and cobweb. I didn't have a choice and hurried into it before closing it against myself.The footsteps finally, echoed in the room."Where is she?"

I said while he removed his belt. "Then when will you ever be?" He questioned frustrated. "I really wish you could be more like her." "Like who?" I questioned with furrowed brows . "Kaitlyn!" He yelled. This wasn't the first time he'd mention that to me though. "If you loved her that much, you should have never left her." I said and his face twisted to something terrifying. "What did you just say?" He questioned. I was sick and tired of him thinking he could boss me about. "I have somewhere to be Mark. I really don't have time for this." I said, about to leave when he thrust me back unto the bed. "You're going to your stripper's lodge again aren't you. To sleep with men again isn't it?" "I told you I'm sleeping with nobody.

"It's truly an honor to finally meet you in person."I stood behind him, sipping my champagne, totally uninterested.Besides, he didn't bother introducing me. It was as though I was non-existent to him.I rolled my eyes and looked around, sighting all the gentlemen and women laughing amongst themselves with elegance.I mentally mocked myself.

I nearly rolled my eyes again, but instead forced a professional smile.A smile that seemed real after so many months of practice. Being a stripper is huge work."Pleasure to meet you princesa."

Valentina's Pov"Beautiful, dangerous, innocent. That's exactly what I want." His tone lowered like stone dipped in water. His voice wrapped around me like a cloak.He wrapped a hand around my neck before yanking me closer to him. His hot breath sent thrills through my body.His grip got tighter as the string I was wearing was doing very little to cover me up. My chest heaved and I knew he liked it."She's one of our best strippers boss. You can have her for as long as you want. My hand tried to release the grip he had on his neck.He looked down, with a very dangerous smirk on his face. I shrunk under his gaze."I...I have to perform soon. I'm...I'm next..."
