What if he harms you because of me?” “He wouldn't dare. Just remain quiet here,” he replied.“I know you are in there, Austin! I need my property, Mister!” I heard Dennis's voice, and a chill crept down my spine.“Where do you think you are going with my property? You think you can save the day like you always do?

Chapter Five Jane's Point of view As the words echoed in the hall, One million eight hundred thousand for a late bid? My eyes widened, and I stumbled backward. I turned to see who had outbid Mr. Dennis and saved me from him. The calm man who had followed Mr. Dennis to the party looked extremely simple but had an aura that exuded wealth.

The harsh light shone on me, making me the center of attraction as I was placed in the middle. My hands began to shake as I sighted my father seated on a king's chair close to me. I couldn't help but look at my father's emotionless face, as cold as stone. The heavy doors of the auction creaked open from the front as two men trooped in. The intimidating demeanor of the one in front changed the atmosphere as he walked in like a king in control of his people, while the one beside him seemed out of place, his eyes wide in awe and his mouth agape. People parted ways for him as he stepped in. The air was filled with tension as murmurs spread through the crowd. The first man walked with authority and nodded to his friend with a smile as they made their way to their seats. "More bidders remai

CHAPTER THREE: FORBIDDEN CLUBJane's POV:I couldn't tell if I was going to puke or faint.The women around me had either resigned themselves to their fate or they paced, and some of them silently cried. I couldn't imagine what they had been through. I could smell their sweat through the cheap perfume they used to cover it up. It was clear that some of the women hadn't bathed in days.How could people treat other human beings this way?I was tapping the heel of my stiletto nervously against the floor. How could my father do this to me?Sure, he had taken me to a few of his client parties and asked me to be coy with the men, but this? He was selling me to a man that neither of us knew just to pay off his creditors.Anger at my father threatened my sanity, making me want to attack the guard again, but I thought of Lorianne.

*CHAPTER TWO: THE PARTYAustin's POVThe music was blaring over the loudspeakers, pumping the bass into my chest with an energetic rhythm. The drinks were strong, and the girls were decent.I sat on a sofa at the furthest end from the dance floor with Wade on the opposite end and his twin brother, Gabe, between us. A girl in a hot pink two-piece outfit wedged herself between them, and they took advantage of her attention, whispering in her ear and pouring her a shot of vodka."What is it about twins that get women off, Austin?" Dennis asked me, shaking his head as he watched Wade and Gabe laughing and flirting with the woman in hot pink.Dennis sat in an armchair across from us while Nick sat next to him in another armchair, entertaining a woman who sat on his lap.Nick's hand was on her thigh beneath her denim mini skirt.I tossed back a shot of vodka.

CHAPTER ONE: AUCTION.Jane's POV;I was used to being showcased at my father's high-end events, where he'd flaunt me to impress his connections. This time was no different. He insisted I wear a sleek, attention-grabbing dress that would draw admiring glances from the men. It was a familiar routine: his associates would fawn over me, vying for my attention and his favor.Inside this particular club, the scent of cologne mixed with cigar smoke and alcohol reminded me that I was in the dark, dim world of male lust and power.My father pulled me through a few groups of men who were laughing and chatting.The man's eyes glanced in my direction, taking in my ample breasts and my fiery red hair, piled in an elegant updo of curls. No one forgets a redhead. Some of them greeted my father before he guided me into a dim hallway and opened the first door that we came to, jerking me inside.
