Chloe is now living with her aunt and her uncle who are not treating her right except for her cousin. She thought that they can only make her do the chores until her hands are sore and her fingers turn black however they did something that she didn't think that they could do. They sold her for their own sake.
Chloe's Point of View
"You love going to the club, right?" I heard my aunt asking my cousin Angelica who didn't even pay any attention to her. "You will go to Delight tonight."
My cousin ran to her mother in a flash when she heard the name of the club. I don't go to clubs that much so I don't know any of them but I know this one since it is so famous and its name can be heard anywhere. It also got an issue about illegal stuff which only made it more popular.
"Mom? I am going there?" She sounded so excited.
Unlike me, my cousin always goes out every night and comes home drunk. We are the opposite which makes us argue a lot but I can say that we have a good relationship. She always protects me from other people and her mom but she is also afraid of her so sometimes she can't.
"Yes, and you are going to bring Sophia with you." What? She wants me to go? Why?
Angelica looks at me with her brows scowling. She is also confused that her mother would want her to bring me. I am also confused because I know how much she hates for me to go clubbing too since she says that I am going to waste her money even though I work at a bakery to buy the things I need at school however she takes half of it as my share in the house.
"I will tell you about it later." She just said before looking at me. "You go to work!"
My mind is telling me that I am not going to like what will happen in that club but what's the worse can happen? There are a lot of people there so I know that no one will harass me. I can scream to catch everyone's attention when that happens.
The night has come and Angelica helped me get ready since I didn't know how to do my makeup. I also don't know what I should wear because I know that there are clubs that have dress codes.
Adrian, Angelica's boyfriend came with us. He is also excited like his girlfriend. I can see it in their face however she always looks at me with a worried look.
"She's an eight." A man said. They started saying numbers as Angelica walked passed them. She also looks proud of herself.
"Let's go, Chloe!" She yelled.
The group of men are now looking at me which made me concious because I am not comfortable with what I am wearing at the moment. It is too revealing for me.
"Woah! She's a hundred out of ten." They all howled which made me more concious.
I just follow Angelica until we reached the bar. There is a bartender who has a buff muscle which makes him also look like a bouncer. Maybe he also helps in the security.
Angelica motioned him to come closer.
"I am here ro sell something so sweet that it is delighting." She whisper to him. What is she saying? What does she mean that she here to sell something sweet?
The bartender looks at me from head to toe which made me feel concious. I can tell that I should be running now but it feels like my whole body is frozen especially when the bartendee got a hold of me.
"What is happening?" I asked Angelica.
"You already know what is happening, Chloe. We need money for my father." My uncle needs an operation and they don't have any money for it. "We are going to auction you."
That is what I last heard from her befoe rhe bartender carried me.
He took me to a place that looks like a back stage and a woman started stripping me. I did my best to stop her but she is too strong too. She made me wear a simple dress and wiped the make up from my face before putting me a lighter one just to smudge it.
"You are ready." She said.
She handed me to a man on the stage. The lights are too bright and all I can hear are men whistling.
Alejandro's Point of View
The sun is about to set but I am still in this office, signing some papers that are starting to hurt my hand. I already want to go home but I need to do this all.
I am busy continuing my work when there is a sudden knock on my door. "Come in," I said.
Flores entered the room and he looked down to show me some respect which I appreciate. He is loyal and a reliable assistant so he has been working for me for a long time. I was young when we met and he was older than me.
"Sir, the owner of the sweet delight called again. He is asking if you are going to join the auction for tonight." He said when he looked at me.
"Tell them that I will think about it." I don't want to go there but they send invitations nonstop as if they think that I will go to their disgusting auction.
"But, sir. They already know about your identity and you are still a member." What he said made me growl in annoyance.
I actually don't know why I ended up signing up for them. All I remember is I was drunk and wanted something sweet when they asked me to join their secret group called Sweet Delights. I really thought that it was for VIPs however when I attended their invitations, it was a human auction for slaves. Men and women are there with their masks on. Well, I do love having a slave and I had so many ones before but nothing interests me which made me want to leave the place already however the owner stopped me. He even threatens me which only leads for him to have a huge bruise on his face. I also remember that he sent me a letter that he would find a woman that would interest me which I highly doubt.
"What's your decision, sir?" Flores asked me again.
I sigh in defeat because I know that he would bother me to attend until the time comes so I don't have any choice.
"Tell him that I would attend his stupid auction and make him remember that he made a promise that he would find a woman that would interest me," I said in a bored tone. "Now, go. I need to finish all of this before going to that boring place."
After finishing all the papers, I went to the bar called Delight. It looks like a normal club that everyone goes to when they want to dance and drink however it has a secret that no one knows except for those who are loaded with money. This is where the Sweet Delight is. A human auction for slaves or whatever you want to do with them. They don't care because all they care about is the greens that the buyers have in their wallets and banks.
I went to the bartender and ordered a special drink called Sweet Delight that can only be ordered there. After taking a sip, I moved my finger to tell him to get closer.
"I want something sweet that makes me delighted," I whisper. I don't know how the owners got this cringe code.
The bartender looks at me and motions me to go on where the auction is which is behind him. I went inside the bar. Down to the stairs that are behind the curtains and there is a lot of old liquor here. I just went straight until I reached a dead end but it was not really the end of that room. There is a secret button which makes the wall open. I put my black mask on before entering to hide my identity.
As soon as I enter the room, I can hear everyone shouting their bids. Most of them are men and I already know that they are auctioning a woman. I went down to the chair where I was designated which was in front of the stage.
"Sold!" The owner yells. "Next is a beautiful orphan woman! She can do all the things that you desire."
"Don't sell me, please." I heard the woman say which made me look at her.
The woman is quivering. She also looks innocent and her eyes show so much fear which makes these men howl like wolves. Whoever this is, she is just making herself more buyable. How pathetic.
"The bidding starts at five million since this woman is so innocent." The man on the stage said.
"Five million!" A man yelled.
The bidding goes on and I can see the woman is getting more scared as it goes on. As usual, nothing is interesting here. I am not even sure if she is really scared or just wants to get sold to have a good life thinking that she would marry her owner. She should be careful because there are cannibals here that only want her to be their dinner.
Her price is now on fifty million which is funny because they want to buy this woman. I stare at her and I must admit that she looks beautiful but not that much. She also looks soft which annoys me the most.
The bidding was about to close when she looked me in the eye. Her eyes were screaming for help which made me raise my hands.
"Sixty million! I will buy her for sixty million!" I yelled.
"Anyone who can beat sixty million?" He yelled as he showed the woman to the crowd. "Sold for sixty million!"
Did I just spend sixty million for a slave?
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
Rumors claimed that Fernanda, newly back with her family, was nothing more than a violent country bumpkin. Fernanda just flashed a casual, dismissive grin in response. Another rumor suggested that the usually rational Cristian had lost all sense, madly in love with Fernanda. This frustrated her. She could tolerate gossip about herself, but slander against her beloved crossed the line! Gradually, as Fernanda's multiple identities as a celebrated designer, a savvy gamer, an acclaimed painter, and a successful business magnate came to light, everyone realized they were the ones who had been fooled.
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.
