Chapter Five: The Devil Wears Prada
The city's pulse quickened as Star decided to go along with Vito's plan, the promise of power and riches luring her further into the darkness of Lake City's underworld. With the next party looming on the horizon, she and Fiona had rounded up five girls, their net casting wide to grab unsuspecting prey in the tangled web of influence.
Yet, as the night approached, a ripple of discontent stirred within the ranks. The newest recruit, the intern that Star had hired at the bank that was eager for a taste of the high life, began to grow suspicious of the shadowy dealings that lurked beneath the surface. When Star extended the invitation to the upcoming party, the intern hesitated, a flicker of doubt betraying their resolve.
Star's temper flared like a match in the darkened room. "What's your deal, huh? You think you're better than us?"
The intern, eyes wide with fear, stuttered out an excuse, their to settle a plan of action , crumbling under the weight of Star's fury. But Star, fueled by a manic determination, refused to accept defeat. The promise of power and influence beckoned, and she would stop at nothing to ensure the intern's compliance.
As the tension reached its height, Star's manic energy crackled like electricity in the air. Star called the Intern to come closer to her. The intern came closer as told. Star pulled out a knife, "get on your knees" ordered a psychotic Star, as drool became pouring from her mouth and her eyes rolled, seemed as if she was delusional. She then shoved the knife in between the intern's breast. "How much did you pay for these things?" Star said through gritted teeth. The intern trembling. "I will slice them off one by one, and enjoy doing it" said Star then lightly kissed the intern on the lips as Fiona stood afar watching. The intern, bullied by her relentless onslaught, relented, her agreement to attend the party was a nightmare occurring before her eyes with Star's unwavering determination and sick demanding personality. With a triumphant smirk, Star watched as she reluctantly agreed to attend the party, her resistance melted away like snow in the heat.
"Fiona, we need to round up the rest of the girls," Star declared, her voice cutting through the night with steely resolve. "It's time to lay down the rules and make sure they know how to be seductive and to dress to impress." Fiona moved with a silent understanding, their partnership forged in the fires of shared ambition.
The city outside seemed to hold its breath as Star unleashed the full force of her temper. Her words, sharp as broken glass, cut through the air like a blade, leaving no room for disagreement. As the ladies arrived, Fiona asked them to line up, "Listen up, ladies," Star's voice rang out with authority. Star outlined the guidelines with a sense of importance. "No questions asked, no hesitation. Ya'll need to understand the game we're playing. We're not going to this event to just party - we will be there to make a statement."
The streets whispered tales of Star's wild temper. The echoes of her manic energy vibrated through the walls, leaving no doubt that in the game of power and influence, she would always be the queen of the streets. Star's descent into madness became a testament to the unforgiving nature of power and ambition. She stood self assured on the verge of a steep cliff, her fate hanging in the balance as she danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.
