Chapter 68-Don't Mess with Starr

Author's Note-Please be aware that there will be some strong language used in this chapter

When her mother called to ask if now was a good time for a visit, Chrissie told her to come on over. The coast was clear as she thought Dimitri was not home, but she soon found out she was mistaken. There wasn't anything in the world that stressed Chrissie more than witnessing an argument between her mother and Dimitri which was about to happen as Starr's car just turned into the driveway.  She already felt the knots in her stomach beginning to form as she heard the car door slam and the sound of her mother's heels on the pavement.  The doorbell rang and as she tried to get downstairs to answer the door before Dimitri did but it was too late. Dimitri already answered the door and the trouble was about to begin.

Dimitri:  What the hell are you doing here?

Starr: Well hello to you too.  Not that it's any of your business, I'm here to see my daughter as I am certainly not here to see the likes of you.

When the sound of the loud voices reached Chrissie's ears, she began to feel sick.  She knew what to expect of this day as this happened every other time her mother came to visit.  Dimitri and Starr would have a fight and later he would be furious at her.  The stress would cause Chrissie to have one of her "episodes" tonight and plenty of regrets the next morning.  She was dreading this as she approached the stairs as this sounded like the worst argument these two had ever had.

Dimitri: We don't want you here so its best if you leave now.

Starr: I just spoke to my daughter on the phone and she told me it was fine to drop by for a visit.

Dimitri: Why don't you get it through your head she doesn't want to see you.

Starr: I want to hear those words from her mouth not yours.

Dimitri:  I already told you she is not coming down so why don't you be a good little girl and go back home to your husband.

Chrissie knew she couldn't hide anymore when she heard that last remark, because no one ever spoke to her mother that way and got away with it. All went quiet for a few seconds but it wasn't long before the loud explosion occurred.

Starr: Now listen here Count Chocula  Just who the fuck do you think you are talking to?  Don't mess with my temper.  Now you get out of my fucking way as no one is going to tell me I can not go into a house that I paid for.

Starr pushed Dimitri out of her way and he fell right on his ass.

Cheech decided it was time for him to get into action.

Dimitri:  That son of bitching dog.

Dimitri: CHRISSIE  Your damn dog peed on me again.  I'm going to take a shower and I'll be back when your monster I mean mother leaves.

Starr: What a good boy you are Cheech!  You deserve a treat.

Dimitri slammed the door loudly as he left the house enraged. Whatever it was that Chrissie saw in that man, Starr couldn't figure out.  All Starr knew at this moment is that she had to find some way to make her daughter understand that she didn't have to settle for the likes of that no good bastard. Chrissie was always a very happy and cheerful girl with the most beautiful smile.  Now she was quiet and withdrawn, a mere shell of the girl she once was.  What Starr wouldn't give to see that smile just one more time.

Starr: Chrissie, we need to have a talk.  Are you ok?

Chrissie: I'm fine Mom, never better.

Starr: Now why don't I believe you?

Chrissie: I am fine Mom.  Really I am

Starr:  How is your relationship with Dimitri?  You do not look happy.  He isn't hitting you is he?

Chrissie:  No he is not hitting me and my relationship with Dimitri is fine.

Starr:  You know you are a beautiful girl who has a lot to offer any man.  Maybe you should look around some more.  What about that nice guy who you work with, the one who just moved here from Isla Paridiso.

Chrissie: You mean Mickey?

Starr: Yes Mickey.  I seen the way he looks at you and he likes you.

Chrissie: Mickey is nice but I'm not sure that he likes me that way.

Starr:  I'm usually not wrong about these things.  You do deserve to be in a loving relationship by someone who treats you with respect.  The perfect man will be your partner and will treat you as his equal and he will be as happy to live his life with you as much as you will want to be with him.  This is the way your father treats me and it is what you deserve too.  Can you honestly tell me that is the way Dimitri treats you?

Chrissie did understand why her mother was saying this, but her mother just didn't understand her relationship with Dimitri and she couldn't tell her.  She wasn't the good person her mother thought she was.  If truth be told she was a horrible person who couldn't be trusted to control her own actions. There was no way she could tell her mother any of this as it would destroy both of her parents to learn what their daughter had become.  She questioned if she should seek professional help but Dimitri said it wouldn't be a good idea to tell anyone as this would have to be reported and she would be in trouble with the law.  Dimitri was keeping her secret life quiet and he would help her end this madness inside of her this she was sure of.

Chrissie:  Mom, I know you don't understand this but Dimitri respects me in his own way.

Starr:  That man doesn't know the meaning of the word respect.

Chrissie: Can we talk about something else and enjoy the afternoon together.

Starr sighed as she knew she failed once again, but she wouldn't give up.  She would never give up on her daughter.

Meanwhile:

Still enraged Dimitri decided it was best that he go for a drink.  Starr always seemed to push all his buttons but he knew in order for his plan to work he needed to keep his cool.  Pretty soon she wouldn't be pushing her way into that house as it would be his free and clear along with the Landgraab money and Chrissie's shares in Langraab Industries.  He would be set for life and he wouldn't need prissy little Chrissie, her bitch of a mother, or that damn dog around.  He already had a bullet with the dogs name on it waiting as soon as he plan was set in motion.  He lived for that day but for now he had to bide his time.

Looking across the room he spotted a hot looking number who was more his speed and he planned to bide a little time with her before it was safe for him to go home.

Dimitri: Can I buy you a drink.

Valerie: You can if you think you can handle me.

Dimitri: The real question is, can you handle me?

Valerie: Why don't you get a hotel room and we will find out who can handle who?

Dimitri: That sounds like an offer I would be a fool to refuse.

As they were leaving Dimitri's phone rang and when he seen his Caller ID he knew he had to take the call.

Dimitri: I need to take this call I'll be only a minute, wait for me in the car.

Valerie: Don't be long, I want to see if you live up to expectation.  By the way what is your name?

Dimitri:  Dimitri Bautista and yours?

Valerie:  Valerie Landgraab, hurry up with your call.  I don't like to be kept waiting.

Dimitri laughed as he couldn't believe his luck when he heard her last name.  He had another Landgraab heiress to scam!  This one would be work as she wasn't as innocent as little Chrissie.  He would have to use blackmail with her because he knew just from looking at her that she had to have a skeleton or two in her closet.  However that would have to wait until after he finished with his first mark.  He picked up the phone and hit redial.  It was his boss who was requesting a progress report in person like it or not he was going to have to go to Moonlight Falls.  It was best not to prolong this any further as he did indeed have a report to deliver but it wasn't the report his boss was expecting.  It was time to let them know that he was now the boss of this whole operation. He would make his travel plans tomorrow as he had a busy schedule for the day.  A wild afternoon with that sexy wolf in his car and a busy night working on sweet little Chrissie.

Later on that evening at Starr's house:

Nick:  From the look on your face it seems that things did not go so well with Chrissie today.

Starr: Damn that fucking asshole.  He is making our daughter into a nervous wreck and I am sure he is only after her money.  It just kills me to see what he is doing to her.

Nick:  I know how you feel as I have the same frustrations.  I want that man out of Chrissie's life but I'm afraid our hands are tied until she asks for help.

Starr: I'm not giving up on my daughter and I am going to watch that fucking bastard closely.

Nick: We are both going to watch the whole situation closely because I don't trust that bastard either. One thing I know for sure the day I find out that fucker ever lifts his hands to my daughter, you can be sure it will be his last.  I'll kill him with my bare hands.

Meanwhile back at Chrissie's House:

When Dimitri returned Chrissie could tell that Dimitri was furious and this was not going to turn out to be a pleasant night.

Dimitri: Is she gone?

Chrissie: Yes she is.  I'm sorry I didn't know you were home when I told her it was ok to come over.

Dimitri: You know you have been a very bad girl.  I don't want that woman in this house.

Chrissie: I'm sorry it won't happen again.

Dimitri: That is not enough you need to be a good girl.  I have things for you to do and you will do them.  Do you understand Chrissie?

Chrissie: Yes Dimitri

Dimitri: You are getting yourself all dressed up tonight and you are going out.  Search for a human any one will do and you know what to do.  Tomorrow morning you will not remember anything I told you but you will know what you did last night.  You will remember that you wanted to stop but you could not control yourself.  Do you understand Chrissie?

Chrissie: Yes Dimitri

Dimitri:  Now that is what I like to hear.  You go and be my good girl and do this for me.

Chrissie went and did as she was told.......

and the very next morning she was filled with regrets.  She just didn't understand what would possess her to do such things.
