Fallen Angels (15)
Lucifer stood and turned to glare at a fallen angel no demon locked down by his power in anger. Staring at her figure all he could feel was disgust. He couldn't believe he had ever thought he was in love with her.
"Why?" he asked her coolly, restraining his urge to annihilate her and everything in the surroundings.
"She deserved it! She killed my love! I had to get her back!"
"He never loved you. In fact, he was using you and you fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker." Lucifer coldly responded.
"No that's not true. He said he loved me. You said you loved me too! How could you say these things that would hurt me?" the former angel screamed.
"I don't love you. I have never loved you. With your own hands, you killed the only person who loved you truly and unconditionally." He told her, "And now I'm going to kill you."
"No! no! I don't believe you!" she screamed before trying to run away. He approached her slowly as his power exploded out. He would obliterate her and then follow the wishes of 'His' angel. Then he would wait until she was reincarnated. No matter how long it took. Even if she didn't remember him, he would watch and wait for when he could see her smile again.
There would be no peace for him in a world without her.
"Cut!" a loud voice called out.
As the director ended the scene, Valentina got up as quickly as she could while trying to ignore her aching body. Her stomach was still hurting from when she got hit and her back was sure to have bruises from the batons tossed at her.
She joined Yuri and Rio in bowing to the director and staff members in thanks.
Sarah Lee beamed at them as she congratulated them.
"Rio, Valentina, Yuri well done to all three of you! Thanks to all your hard work were done filming everything. The only thing remaining is for the editors to edit all of the footage properly. To celebrate, I'll treat everyone to some delicious food and drinks tonight so let's party!"
As the staff members cheered, Rio joked with Sarah Lee, "Since it's the director's treat, I won't be shy and will order the most expensive thing on the menu."
"Me too me too!" Shawn chimed in as he walked over.
As everyone laughed, Sarah Lee dismissed them, and Valentina quickly ran away to the dressing room. While filming, they had given her fake blood capsules to bite but since she had been hit in the paper-like body, she inevitably coughed up blood. Not wanting to worry everyone, she mentally apologized to Rio and the janitorial staff for the cleaning they would have to do.
As Valentina changed into her original clothing, she glanced at the mirror and saw that her back and stomach area were forming light purple bruises that hurt when she lightly touched it.
This damn fragile body! She would have to get some ointment later. Thankfully she wore a loose, long-sleeved button-up dress that didn't compress the injury. After casually putting up her hair, she opened the door to go out.
Unfortunately, she saw that Rio was waiting outside the door. She respectfully greeted him and wanted to take a detour, especially after his previous warning, but he held out something in his hand.
When she tilted her head questioningly, he clarified.
"Ointment for your bruises. It looked like you were hit pretty hard earlier. Apply it immediately" After placing it in her hand, he walked away.
"Oh, thank you!" Valentina called out to him. Again, with the overly niceness, but she was appreciative. After applying it, she met up with Shawn, Rio, Yuri, and Sarah Lee as well as Gia and the choreography coordinator Miss Moore.
Seeing that everyone was gathered Sarah spoke, "I've given the crew manager a card to treat the crew members to wherever they want to eat. As for the immediate cast, I made a reservation at Blue Robin Lounge so we're going to be eating there. We have a private room so there's no need to be concerned about looks or changing. Let's just have this casual dinner to celebrate and we'll have an official one later."
Hearing that they were going to Blue Robin, Valentina along with everyone were very excited. Blue Robin Lounge was a place where only money could get you in. Since it was commonly frequented by celebrities, top CEOs, and more, you needed some type of status to even get a reservation. She had heard rumors that the food there was delicious with a constantly changing menu, and they only served the best of the best in terms of drinks.
Excited at the thought of a free expensive meal, Valentina vowed to stuff herself tonight.
The small group took a nondescript celebrity black van and quickly arrived there. As they walked through the front entryway, Valentina was immediately wowed by the interior decoration.
With expensive wood paneling, lush greenery, and unique lantern-type lights, it gave off the atmosphere of a classy restaurant in a tropical jungle.
When Valentina inhaled the fresh scent, she could feel her worries clear away.
The group followed their assigned waiter into a private area on the highest floor. One wall was completely floor-to-ceiling glass windows that allowed you to view the city with no obstructions. The room itself was tastefully decorated with elegant but comfy couches loosely placed in a circle, greenery, and gold-edged marble tables spread around. The arrangement allowed people to comfortably eat while chatting with each other.
Everybody arranged themselves and Valentina somehow ended up sitting beside Rio and Sarah Lee. Yuri on the other hand was on another couch with Shawn beside her and Rio close to her. Gia and Miss Moore were sitting together leaving one set of chairs open.
As everyone started looking through the menu and calling out their orders to the 2 waiters, Sarah Lee cleared her throat.
"So as a surprise for all your hard work, I've actually invited a very special guest to come and say hello to you all."
When everyone turned to look at her in surprise, she smiled mischievously and continued, "Rio and Shawn have already met this person and today just happened to be really convenient, but the big boss of Platinum Entertainment himself is actually here tonight and agreed to stop by. Now I know the only people signed to Platinum Entertainment are Rio and Shawn, but meeting more people in the industry is never a bad thing. Do your best to make a good impression today ha ha ha ha." Sarah Lee's boisterous laugh rang out while the blood pressure of the people in the room increased drastically.
