We arrived in front of a beautiful mansion. Expensive cars lined the entrance and dashing men and women stepped out wearing the most ridiculous gowns and tuxedos.
I was in awe as I was helped out of our car by Harry. I lifted the ends of my dress so it doesn't tangle with my heels as we walked up the steps leading into the shimmering mansion.
"You're to be on your best behaviour." Liam whispered into my ear before wrapping his arm around my waist. "I swear if you embarrass me I will give you hell." He leaned into me and smiled.
To a stranger this would have looked like an act of love and kindness. But they didn't know Liam. They didn't know the cruelty behind his words and the pain he was giving me with his arm harshly wrapped around me.
"I want to introduce you to this man named Jason Ambasso." Liam started "you may remember him at one of the functions I took you to."
I did remember. He was the leader of The Seven another powerful gang besides The Circle and I also remembered clearly being very surprised that the two leaders talking peacefully when to everyone else's knowledge they hated one another..
"Yes. I remember."
"Right. Well tonight we're going to kill him."
His voice took my breath away. Kill him? I stared at him with wide eyes. "Kill him? Why?" I asked with fear creeping up in my voice. "I'm not going to help you kill him if that's what you meant with proving myself to you."
"That's exactly what I mean." He smirked.
"Liam please I —"
I felt a gun get pressed to the small of my back. A gasp left my lips as I stared at Liam. I knew it was Harry who was pressing the gun against my back. I felt so trapped. Tears started to form in my eyes as I stared at the cruel being in front of me who was my brother.
"I don't want to hurt you. But I will if I have to." Harry mumbled behind me. "And you know that Liam won't hesitate to hurt you. So follow instructions so I won't have to hurt you."
I frantically nodded which seemed to please Liam as he nodded at Harry who pulled the gun slowly away.
"Now Jason has too many guys in here protecting him so that's where you come in.." Liam smiled as he caressed my cheek. I refrained from pulling away in disgust. "He has a thing for you. I noticed it when I first introduced you to him. So we will use that to our advantage now."
"You're pimping me?" I asked shocked.
A laugh escaped Harry's lips as he shook his head at my accusation.
Liam joined.
"No I'm not asking you to have sex with him I'm asking you to seduce him until I can kill him. Take him into a room do your thing and I'll take care of the rest." Liam finished.
"And if you fail.. you don't want to know what I will do to you."
With that they casually strolled away from me. Harry grabbed a glass of champagne from a waiter who carried a tray passed him. I stood in the middle in absolute shock.
I didn't want to lead this man to his death despite knowing he's a cruel human but if I didn't then I will face Liam's anger and I don't think I could handle it again. Being locked in that room with only my thoughts it was too much for me.
My eyes spotted Jason Ambasso. He was in the middle of the ballroom in a discussion with a few other men.
I quickly grabbed a glass from another waiter who walked past me and strolled to where Jason was. I tried not to make it seem obvious that I was going straight to him as I allowed my eyes to wonder and take in everyone who was here with me.
The women wore gowns that were more extreme than the next. I couldn't imagine how much they cost as they glistened under the beautiful chandeliers. I stared at my dress and noticed how plain it was compared to theirs. But it had a beautiful look to it despite not being so extreme to the rest.
As I approached Ambasso, I pretended to knock my fragile shoulder against his.
"Oh my god I am so sorry.." I groaned not looking up into his face. I stared at the champagne that I had slightly spilled on his sleeve with a frown.
"God I am such an idiot!" I continued my act.
I could feel his eyes on my face. His fingers suddenly came down to my chin and he firmly lifted my face to meet his eyes.
"I know you.." he mumbled and his eyes sparked in recognition. "You're Olivia.. Olivia Castello."
"Oh! You're Jason Ambasso!" I faked a smile. "I am truly very sorry I have ruined your suit." I frowned and pointed at his sleeve which now had soaked the champagne in.
"That is completely fine." He smiled. A shiver went down my spine as I nodded. "Excuse me gentlemen." Ambasso grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the crowd we were standing with. "Where is your brother?" He asked as his eyes roamed the ballroom trying to spot Liam.
"Uh.. he's somewhere I'm sure." I smiled.
"I'm surprised he's let you out of his sight. You seem to be very important to him."
I nodded. "Liam wants me to be apart of his family. He's allowing me my own space. He wants it so bad so he doesn't want to ruin whatever relationship we have." I quickly came up with a lie.
He smirked. "I'm sure that's it."
I bit my lip and looked away from his intense eyes. I felt like he was staring right into my soul and figuring everything that was going on. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew already. He's a powerful gang leader. He's not foolish.
I looked back at him and gave him my best seductive eyes. "At least let me help you clean your suit.." I trailed off suggestively.
He seemed to have caught onto what I was saying as he nodded. "If you insist." With that he grabbed my hand and led me down a corridor. We climbed a few steps and arrived in a hallway that had doors lined along the sides leading all the way down another corridor.
This place was huge..
