"These are my main men, I typically trust them with most stuff so there's no reason for them to be shooed off during meetings" Javier said, pointing to a group of 4 men.

My night was restless, I couldn't sleep without Dante. And well other reasons concerning the fact I was sleeping in the enemy's home,

"Your close with your guards?" I asked yawning.

"Not a chance... They've just stuck around long enough" he answered. We were in his warehouse, I was receiving a "tour" and also trying to gather as much intel as possible.

"If it isn't a bother, where was Jason posted?" I asked, my tone dull and unrevealing of any emotion.

"Just a low rank guard, if he survives long enough. Maybe he'll climb the ladder of my positions" he said smirking.

I held back a gag as he walked me down a flight of dirty stairs. "These are our cells" he said, pushing keys into a metal door and swinging the door open.

Two guards nodded at us both as we walked down rows of cells, there were numbers of people in cells. Crying for mercy, bleeding out on floors. "Who are all these people?" I asked, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets, trying to ignore the foul oder of blood.

"Some people who didn't pay protection fees, and some just random people me and Vladimir picked off the street to play with. He was trying to find girls who looked exactly like you, but got mad and would beat them when he realized he couldn't replace you" he said yawning.

I grimaced and looked down, I'll definitely get these innocent people out. Those assholes.

We walked down towards the end of the stone hall when he stopped at one cell, "This is Jayda" he said. I snapped my head up and saw her, she was in sweatpants and a tank top, her dirty blond hair was sticky with blood and dirt.

The bags under her eyes were heavy and numerous bruises and cuts painted the canvas that was her skin.

We walked into the cell, he turned to face one of the walls. "She was one of Dante's soldiers" he said. Jayda looked up at me tiredly, her face contorted into one of the craziest expressions I'd ever seen.

'I'm getting you out' I mouthed, putting a finger up to my mouth. Her eyes widened, but she nodded and looked back down, settling against her metal restraints.

"Why'd you take her?" I asked, clearing my throat. "We thought she'd give us info and trigger an attack, but no luck. I'm just waiting for her to die" he answered.

I glared at his back but my face went to normal when he turned around. "Let's go back up to another room I'm to show you" he said.

I looked back at Jayda, before walking out. I hope she knows she'll be okay, she just has to wait a little longer. I just need some more time

We walked back up to another room.

It was basically just a room for meetings and plan making, there was a table in the center and other boring pieces of furniture.

"Sit" He said, taking a seat at the head of the glass table. I sat a few chairs away from him, "Our next mission is tomorrow night to which you'll be leading. It's at a popular Casino in Chinatown, Viktor and Dante are meeting" he said handing me a few files.

"It's not an attack, a simple pick and dip. You get information with the squad your leading and report back as soon as you can. No action just listening" he continue.

"Who's in the group?" I asked. "You, two of my best spies, and Jason" he answered.

A few more files and papers were slid to me, "these are just relevant files you'll need since you insisted on being included in this charade" he said.

I heard the door open and close, I didn't bother to look back until I heard his voice.

"Stella" he said hungrily, marching towards me. I looked to see Vladimir nearing me, my heart started pumping in my ears and I sighed, standing up.

I grabbed his extended arm and flipped him over the glass table, making it crack. "If you fucking touch me I'll rip your balls off" I warned.

"I take it your glad to see me" he remarked. "Does it fucking look like that dickhead" I yelled

"Alright Stella back up we need him alive" Javier said standing up. I rolled my eyes and let go of his twisted arm, he got up slowly and fixed his shirt.

His eyes seemed more darker and tainted than ever, like swirling pools of dirt. His blonde hair was messy and stuck to his forehead.

"Vladimir, I'm ordering you to keep your distance from Stella or you'll pay the consequences" Javier warned.

"Boss we need you to sign off a few docking agreements!" A man yelled from outside. Javier straightened his jacket, "I'll only be a moment" he said glaring at Vladimir as he walked out.

Vladimir smirked, "I knew you'd come back to me" he said propping his head on his elbows. "Fuck that, if you ever got a hold of me I'd let myself die" I growled.

His face became angrier, "Your mine Stella, I've branded you with the time in your cell. If only you agreed to my affection it would've been so much easier" he sighed.

"Let's get this straight, I will N E V E R be yours, not in your wildest dreams. You fail to understand that if you had be, I'd kill my self. So fuck off" I said, standing up and walking out.

He tried to follow me but I turned around and swung at his face, slamming the door.

I'll admit he does scare me, but not the kind of scared it was before. A scared as in a scared to be around him kind of fear.

And I know just punching him isn't gonna satisfy me, but like I said.

I just need a little more time.

The next day

Another restless night was proof enough I needed to go back home, I've only seen Jason once in training and that was it.

I missed the way Dante held me at night, or the way he checked me out even in pajamas. Or how he made sure to tell me how much I mean to him every day.

Just the little things

Javier had a dress sent up for tonight, I'm due at the casino in a few hours.

I hopped out of the shower and dried myself off.

I slid on a pair of black panties and a strapless bra. I began to do my makeup, I filled in my eyebrows and applied eyeshadow, mascara, and lipstick.

I threw my hair up in a messy bun with strands of hair falling down, and walked to the bag that held my dress and heels.

It was red and long, there was a slit on my leg side for it to pop out when I walked. It had a strap that went around my neck and it the backed stopped a little before my tail bone.

Not gonna lie, I'm taking this with me when I leave.

I put on a pair of dark heels, diamond choker, and made sure I had a gun and knife strapped onto my thighs with a band that held it on.

Just incase anything happened.

I went and memorized the files Javier and handed me with information, the idiot. He gave away information like air, exactly what I needed. I reapplied my red lipstick when someone knocked, "Ma'am, it's time to go" a male voice yelled.

I grabbed a few things and made my way out of the door, meeting a guard and Jason's face.

He was wearing a simple tux, his dark brown hair slicked back. We walked downstairs along side one another, "Have you found anything out?" I whispered. "Yes, I've gotten locations on docking points, and you?" He asked.

"Yes, and Jayda. She's in the cells, alongside other innocents" I answered.

His eyebrows furrowed and he shook his head, maids opened up the doors for us. We made our way to a black suv outside and drove off, letting the night take place
