Chapter: Chapter SevenNaomi's PovMy eyes stared at the man who bought me. Ten million dollars was a whole lot of money. My goodness! What was he thinking?"You can go over and meet your buyer." Alex announced and I sighed. What a way to remind myself that I was nothing but an object of sexual gratification.He didn't rise like I expected him to do when I approached and I stilled when he didn't move a muscle. Who was this man who was acting like a statue?"Let's go." He said when I neared him. It was so low but I heard the unmistakable command in it and I was a bit worried.He didn't seem like a friendly man. There was a way he carried himself or better put, there was an air of confidence around him, he oozed danger and warmth.Okay, Naomi, you're beginning to be distracted. I noticed a man walking close to him giving me the stink eye and I wondered what must have caused this."I'll send it to your account. Forward the details to me later." He said and the man noddedWe walked out of the hall together in m

Chapter: Chapter SixNaomi's PovMy legs froze for a minute as I tried to fathom what was happening. Why was I the first person called? Alex would never allow me to be sold or would he? A hand hit the door and I jumped out of my thoughts. "I'm sure that you're not deaf are you?" As if free from bounds, my legs finally moved. The girl I hugged earlier stared at me with pity and fear in her eyes. I was going to be sold. I was leaving this place that I had become very familiar with and it was really baffling. "I'm sorry about that.""Now, go to that room. Marcella would prepare you. We can't have you looking shabby. Your buyer is not a pauper." The man sneered at me. Well, these men were horrible people and they would do whatever they liked just to feel good and most importantly make money. I had gone past the point of caring if they had a conscience. It must have been seared a long time ago and I didn't have time to worry about them one bit. Marcella turned to inspect me from head to toe and she clicke

Chapter: Chapter FiveNaomi's P. O. VI stood there confused and shocked about the flood of girls that suddenly rushed into the showers, not able to reason what was going on. There were like a hundred girls of all ages in here, if not more, and all naked. I just stood there, unable to move due to fear that I would perhaps hit someone or something. I knew that I had to ask someone, or else I wouldn't know how to move, or what to do next. Nothing made any sense, and it wasn't an all that wonderful feeling to be caught unaware by your surroundings. "Hey, please excuse me..." I asked, trying to call the attention of a girl with long dark brown locks and beautiful large green eyes. She had to be a few years younger than me, perhaps seventeen or so. She had scars on her back and arms, most of them terribly fresh, the rest slightly starting to fade away. Looking at her carefully, I knew that I had recognized her from somewhere, for her face looked so familiar to me. That is when I realized that she was the

Chapter: Chapter FourNaomi's P. O. VI sat in the tiny cubicle like structure, as water from the shower head above cascaded over me. The relatively warm water soothed my muscles, and merged with the slow tears running down my face, totally drowning them by making them a part of the water that dripped from my cheeks and face, to the floor. The events of the day flowed before me, like scenes of a silent movie playing in strips of films. My body ached all over, making me feel like I had gotten into a brutal fist fight, and got more bruises than I should have. Maybe I did get into s fight. How else was I to describe the way in which I was violently treated, if not as a one sided war? The only thing that I could do was take all the hits, all the torture. I could only lay motionlessly on any surface that I was placed on, before being made use of in every way possible. My heart wrenched at the memories; how had I become nothing more than a rag doll to fellow human beings? How had the world turned so twisted t

Chapter: Chapter ThreeNaomi's P. O. VI stood before him in my usual attire that they dressed me up in, anytime he requested for my presence; a light pink colored, strapless body tight dress, and some high heels. My hair was held up into a high ponytail, and there was light make-up applied on my face. I looked like what he wanted me to look like; a doll. A Barbie doll to be precise. That's how he liked his "toys". My eyes were cast down as usual, and a plastic fake smile was plastered on my face. He liked it when we smiled. In a case where we didn't, he would make sure to punish us in the most severe of ways. My whole body was already hurting, and the rod bruises we're just the icing on the cake. I didn't think that I could have handled more, so I'd rather be something that I hated with passion. The bright side of it though, was the fact that I had taken a shower, gotten all cleaned up, and my bruises were tended to. We all waited for the days that he would pick us, only for the anticipation of feeling

Chapter: Chapter TwoNaomi's P. O. VI shut my eyes so tight and turned away, unable to bear the sight of what was going on. Their screams tortured me, and made me remember things that I tried my best to lock away. My eyes stung with unshed tears, each passing second making it harder not to cry as the sound of multiple cord whips sliced through the air like knives, before the sound of them landing on bare skin came. Then the screams followed. The boy and the girl begged; they begged for them to stop amidst tears. I didn't have to open my eyes to see that. Truly one could get used to their own pain and suffering, but never other's. Or maybe it was just me. Maybe I just still had that little sliver of humanity remaining in me, that made it impossible for me to bear the sight of the suffering and pain of others. Even when I couldn't do shit about it, I always wished that I could. But unfortunately I didn't own even my own life. The stupid mocking laughter of Albert and the others echoed within the large

Chapter: Chapter Thirty FourLuna's PovNo, no. I'm not having this memory. This is not happening to me, I told myself in my mind. There is no way I'm having her memories so soon!However, there was nothing I could do about it. It felt like I was stuck in the shadows, watching the whole thing play out right with my own eyes. I actually fought. Change the narrative or something, do something different, break out, walk away, but… I was simply a bystander. It felt like I was being held in, caged, and forced to watch everything. He was dripping wet, and his hair was plastered on his face. He came to stand next to me at a little distance between us and shook his hair.He was like a prince fallen out of a book. The wet strands fell over to his chin, and when his electric blue eyes turned to me, I shifted mine immediately, and blinked rapidly as if it could take away the awkwardness of the situation. I recognized him immediately. He had been Keira's crush since elementary school, but he'd left the country to stay wit

Chapter: Chapter Thirty ThreeKeria's PovMaids rushed to me, bringing napkins and wipes, getting more water for me to calm down. That fast?Was I gaining Luna's memories that fast? What memory did I lose in return?Mom, Dad, Emily, Nikkie… ah, Nikkie… how much I missed him. He said he'd be back by winter. What would happen if he heard my family couldn't find me?“Luna. Are you okay?” Zane asked, dropping his newspaper to look at me with tenderness that would soften even the strongest heart of stone.“Yeah, I am. I was just a little startled.”No time! That was all that was ringing in my head. There was no time to be enjoying elaborate meals, getting swayed by handsome, too–good-to-be-true men, and letting them open my eyes to pleasures I'd never known actually existed.This place was awkward. How could three men share just one woman, and there would be no clashes? I'd slept with Zane and Ryder, and Caleb asked me for a walk. Was he going to sleep with me too?I gulped, suddenly feeling tingles racing down my sp

Chapter: Chapter Thirty TwoLuna's Pov“Any help you can render will be appreciated. I would have promised you raw gold from my Kingdom, but once I go back, I don't think I'll be able to return here.” I said to her, “Wait. Are you guys seriously going with this mad concept of a thing?” Nikkie asked, and Emily rolled her eyes. “I told you to play along. Fine, she's sick in the head. Play along.” Nikkie came, and crouched in front of me, looking up at me through his pretty eyes. “Even if your head is messed up, you still remember a lot about us, right? I was planning to return this winter and give you a present… because I have something to tell you. Unfortunately, I had to come back early because of your accident, but I still hoped I'd be able to give you the present anyway.”“Is the present a love confession?” I asked, and pink crept to his cheeks for a while, “Hold it for now. If you help out well, Kiera might be here by winter to receive your gift.”“Are you going to push this opportunity away? Back then, w

Chapter: Chapter Thirty OneKeira's Pov“How are you going to turn me into the real Luna?” I asked. “Into the better Luna. That's what I'm going to do. You're going to become even better than Luna ever was, so they will be unable to resist your charm. First, you'll have to convince them that you're the real Luna, and that the seer doesn't know what she's saying.”Valerie moved closer to me, and trailed a hand along my cheek, moving her finger to rest lightly under my chin. “You're capable. I know it, sweet little thing. Your family will welcome you soon.” She got closer, and whispered into my ear. “You just have to wait a little while longer.” She said, and I closed my eyes, and nodded. Keira, this isn't your world. Emily is waiting. Mom, dad… they're all waiting. Even the kids at school will be eager to find out what happened, and why you suddenly didn't show up.“So, we're friends from today to everyone else. Follow me.” Valerie said, hooking her arm around mine, as she led us out. Funny enough, instead of

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Luna's PovNikkie stepped back under my intense gaze, and Keira's mom cleared her throat. “Keira. Sit. Don't scare him off,” then she turned to Nikkie, “Nikkie dear, I'm sorry if she appears to be a little rude. She's still recovering.”Nikkie pulled on a dazzling smile, “Sure.”Immediately after breakfast, Emily pulled me to my room, and Nikkie followed. She pushed me down onto the bed, and folded her arms.“I don't understand. You hate broccoli, yet you eat every last bit of it. Meanwhile, chicken feet that you can kill to have, you flung them away.” She said, and I made a face, “and… Nikkie here…” she glanced at Nikkie who was smiling, with his hands behind his back like some proud master. Emily sighed, “Nikkie is someone you've loved and always dreamed of right from kindergarten.” She said, and my jaw dropped slightly, before smiling.She sure had good taste in men, but how could she love him since Kindergarten? Did she know he was her mate since then?Ah, there's nothing like m

Chapter: Chapter Twenty NineKeira's PovI turned to Ryder, and took in a deep breath, ready to speak. However, a maid came to pour water into my glass, and as she did so, she slipped a note into my lap subtly. I took it without raising any suspicions, and she left after pouring me water. Slowly, I pried the note open, and saw it was definitely a note from Valerie.*Come to my room immediately.* She wrote, and I swallowed.What more did she want from me? Slowly, I rose to my feet. “Where are you going?” Zane asked. “I need to clear my head.”“Someone will be coming very soon to see into your problems. Won't you stay to meet the person?” Ryder asked, but I shook my head. “I need this walk. Just a few minutes to myself, and I'll return.” I insisted, and walked away before any of them could say a word.I made my way to Valerie's room, while looking back to ensure I wasn't being followed. What more did she want? I gave her the key, so why was she bothering me? I shortly knocked on her door. “Come in.” She said
