Dilara

Chapter 85:

Thank God.

'This will take ages if you make every woman strip her jewellery and skirts.' Another voice says.

The man sighs and lets me through. I let out a breath.

I walk through the huge oak doors and I'm taken aback by how many people are here.

Some of the most dangerous people to walk this earth.

'Stern faces people, it's showtime.' Vittoria says through the earpiece.

***********
I've been dancing with so much men, and I still haven't recognised Christianto yet.

I should've at least bumped into him once by now.

Even by accident.

This man I'm dancing with now, keeps on bragging about how much money he has and it's boring me.

I keep a smile on my face, dancing with him and speaking when it feels appropriate too.

We change partners again and I fall into some strong arms.

A strong scent hits me

This perfume, I've smelt it before but only once. I look up and see dark brown eyes staring at me.

It's Christianto.

Bingo.

'So you're the mysterious Demons messenger.' He says.

I nod my head, making sure not to speak.

'I don't think I've seen you before.' He continues.

Come on Dilara think.

'I've been kept hidden.' I say, putting on a thick French accent. 'I'm Zane's most valuable asset.'

'Well maybe we can drink, and I'll give you the package and then you'll dance with me some more?' He asks.

'I would enjoy that very much sir,' I reply, making sure to keep the accent.

His eyes linger on mine and I give him a sweet smile, batting my eyelashes.

He holds my hand and we walk over to a waiter. They turn around and I thank God that it's Lorenzo.

He holds out the tray of wine towards us and Christianto picks out two.

Lorenzo makes sure not to keep his eyes on me for too long.

'To a new, dangerous alliance.' Christianto says raising his glass.

'A dangerous alliance,' I reply.

We clink our glasses together.

I make sure to stroke his arm while taking a drink, making him wrap it around my waist and rest his hand on my hip.

The action makes me cringe internally, but I put on a smile and make it look like I'm admiring him.

Christianto takes something out of his pocket, and places it in my hand, tightening my fingers around it.

'Make sure it gets to the owner safely.' He says.

He kneels down and kisses my hand. He then turns it over and kisses my palm.

I have to fight the urge to snatch my hand away.

'You can trust me,' I smile.

I look down at the USB.

Perfect.

'What's going on mum?' Alessandro asks. 'Why are you out here alone?'

He's speaking into the earpiece, but he's forgotten to mute himself.

'Nothing, leave me alone.' Vittoria snaps.

I guess she also hasn't muted herself.

'You don't look ok, you look pale as if you've just seen a ghost.' Alessandro says.

A moment of silence passes before she speaks again.

'Alessandro he's alive,' Vittoria mutters.

'Who's alive?' He asks.

The song changes, meaning for us to change partners.

'I'll meet you again later little butterfly.' Christianto says.

I think I just vomited inside of my mouth.

'It's been a pleasure.' I reply.

'Your brother,' Vittoria replies. 'Adriano's alive and he's here right now.'

My heart drops.

Lorenzo immediately looks at me, but his face betrays nothing.

That's impossible.

'That's impossible,' Alessandro says.

Christianto spins me out and two strong hands grab me. I look up and I'm immediately notice these beautiful grey eyes, through a silver mask.
