Kiera’s POV

We were assembled behind a stage, and shortly after, the four Madams came in with a box. Each of us was handed a set of lingerie and a pair of heels, as we stood in a straight line.

“Put them on quickly,” Madam Naomi instructed.

My hands quaked as I nervously removed the pajamas, and donned the lingerie. It was a bra and pant set. The lace-like material made it very transparent and anyone could clearly see our intimate areas.

The Madams nodded in satisfaction as they observed us.

“Tonight, some of you will get new masters, but that’s not the end. You have a 2-month probation period. Your masters can do whatever they choose to do with you. If after 2 months, they're pleased with you, then you become their permanent property. If not, you will be returned here, and your lives will be 10 times worse.”

Madam Naomi's words sent a chill down my spine.

“For the sake of the new girls, I’m gonna say this again. You have a maximum of one month to get a new master, if not, El Diablo’s face would be the last thing you ever see. So when you get on that stage, exhibit your feminine charms. Be as sexy as you can, and don’t hold back. Your lives depend on this.”

At this point, all I could do is to accept my harsh reality. I had no urge to fight it, and neither did I have the strength to shed any more tears.

“You!” Madam Naomi pointed at me.

 “You go first.”

Dread washed over me, as a sinking feeling gripped my heart, beads of sweat gathering on my forehead.  Uncertainty clouded my mind, unsure of what to do when I get on the stage. Choking down the huge lump that sat in my throat, I took a step forward.

“Follow him,” she pointed to one of the guards, and I trailed behind obediently.

My head was lowered as I climbed onto the stage, my heart pounding in my chest as I lifted my head to see a room filled with masked-suited men. I wanted to run off the stage, but I was well aware of the consequences that would follow.

As my eyes scanned the room, the day’s event flashed before my eyes. The heartbreak of seeing my boyfriend getting married to my stepsister, the humiliation I faced at Royal City Hall, the robbery, and finally this.

A pool of tears formed in my eyes, but I only dared to let them drop.

“Save me, oh lord,” I mouthed, as the stage light shone on me.

From the opposite wing of the stage, El Diablo emerged. His steps were precise as he closed the distance between us.

“Tonight, I welcome you, my distinguished gentlemen, to our lair of pleasure. Take your time to absorb the beauty of the creatures that would be presented to you, and make your choices.”

I stood before these men like a piece of item, waiting to be picked off the market.

“The starting price for this breathtaking damsel is $20 million. Let the bidding begin,” he said, laughing hysterically.

“$25 million,” the first man raised his hand.

$27 million, came from the next. One after the other, the men placed their numbers on my head, and finally, a voice came through.

“$60 million!”

My eyes suddenly flashed toward him. He wasn’t part of the initial bidders, how’s he suddenly interested in me?

A devilish smile formed on El Diablo’s face, “$60 million… Can I get $65? Anyone?” After a moment’s pause, he sealed the deal.

“$60 million, sold.”

Narrowing my eyes on him, my new master stood up and was escorted to a private room, where the payment transaction was likely to take place.

I didn’t know if I should count myself lucky or curse the day, and as I was being led through the backstage where the rest of the girls were waiting, my eyes fell on Emerald, and I nodded, signaling her that I had gotten a new master.

A smile formed on her face as she mouthed, “Take care.”

I was handed over to Madam Leah, who ushered me into a compact, closet-like room, permeated with a vanilla scent and containing a vanity stocked with cosmetic items, along with an abundance of sexy dresses on the hangers.

 “You should count yourself lucky. Life here is terrifying,” she said, and I nodded.

She examined me critically before reaching for one of the dresses on the hangers,

“Wear this.”

Leaving the lingerie on, I slipped into the red mini V-neck dress that fell below my bust line, and the expression on her face said it all.

“You’re ravishing. I wonder how you got yourself involved with a man like El Diablo.”

She led me to the vanity where she did my makeup and held my hair up in a messy ponytail that emphasized my facial features and for the first time in my life, I felt truly beautiful.

“Your master would be very lucky to have you. I hope you never return here. This is no place for someone like you.”

Without warning, the door swung open and two bodyguards entered. Before I knew it, they threw a black sac on my face, making it impossible for me to see anything.

They lifted me from my seat and took me away. From that moment on, I heard nothing but the sound of footsteps. 

heard a door creak and a few walks later, I felt myself being shoved into a car and I braced myself for the unknown, my heart racing with fear and uncertainty.

As the car drove away, I tried to imagine what my new master would be like, and goosebumps spread through my body.

After roughly an hour's drive, the car came to a standstill, and as the door opened, someone grabbed me by the wrist and extracted me, leading me to God knows where.

The next sound I heard was the clicking sound of the door, and suddenly I felt myself being lifted off the floor. The person's movements suggested they were climbing the stairs.

Lowering me down, I felt my wrist tighten once again. Another door clicked open, and after a few steps, we came to a halt.

“You can take the sac off now,” a masculine voice commanded.

I was slow and concise, as I grabbed the tip of the sac, pulling it off my face.

The moment my eyes opened, I was met with the sight of the most handsome man, yet as I narrowed my eyes and looked closely at him, I felt a sense of familiarity.

Then, I remembered him.

    Kiera’s POVMy eyes grew wide like saucers,“You’re the homeless guy from the grocery store!”My mind instantly swallowed itself, struggling to understand how that could be possible. I rapidly blinked my eyes and shook my head, wondering if I was hallucinating due to the immense stress that I'd been through today.He took a few steps closer but I retreated.“I know it all seems impossible to you right now, I know you have lots of questions but I need you to calm down. I’ll explain everything to you once you’re settled and in a good frame of mind,” he said.“No, I need an explanation now,” I insisted.The ringing tone from his phone interrupted, and he excused himself to answer it.A couple of minutes went by and there was no sign of him.

I was fully clothed, so why was I being dramatic?Gabriel stood at the window, his body blocking the harsh rays from hitting me, and I propped myself up, squinting as I stared at his shadowy figure.“I’ll have one of the house staff get you a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Get dressed and meet me outside in 15 minutes,” he said, taking his leave before I could even open my mouth.I was ready and out in 15 minutes.“Get into the car,” he commanded.“Where are we going?” I asked, but he remained silent, striding over to open the front door for me.“Please get in,” he said politely.As I sat in the car, my eyes traveled to Damien’s wi

    MIGUEL’S POVI sat in the dimly lit room, smoke curling around me as I took a long drag from my cigarette. I gulped down a glass of whiskey relishing the fiery sensation as it coursed down my throat. Just as I flicked the ash from my cigarette, the door swung open, and Joe walked in. The look on his face was evident enough for me to know that he had something to say.“Speak up, before I lose my patience,” I said.Clearing his throat, his voice came forth, “Kiera showed up at the wedding venue.”Her name pulled a string in my heart, and I simply nodded and poured myself another round of whiskey.If I’ve ever felt any form of affection towards any woman, it would be Kiera. Cold as my heart may be, she fascinated me. Her beauty, innocence, her perception of the world, and everything about her made her special. But the affection I had for her was no match compared to the hatred I have for Gabriel. Despite the fact that our families have been sworn rivals for ages, the bastard was also res

I just told you I don’t want any part in this, and you’re asking me to marry you?” Her gaze narrowed, disbelief etched on her face.I let out a deep breath, trying to maintain my composure. “I need you to be calm.”“How can I be calm? You just dropped a bomb on me!” She protested, her feet tapping anxiously against the floor.“Do you find me so unattractive? Don’t I possess the qualities you seek in a man?”She shot me a glare, her voice sharp.“It has nothing to do with that. I don’t know anything about you. I don’t trust you, let alone love you.”“No one’s talking about love here,” I replied, frustration bu

Next, I saw his hand creeping towards his pocket and I clicked the gun as a warning, my gaze unwavering on him.All at once, he pulled out a small pouch and flung it towards me, and it landed at my feet.“That’s just a fraction of Miguel’s diamonds,” he said, his voice trembling slightly.What? How did he get his hands on Miguel’s diamonds? Unless he…I exchanged glances with my informant, skepticism etched across his face as his brows knitted together.I lowered myself to pick up the pouch, the gun still trained on the stranger. With a flick of my wrist, I opened it, and I couldn’t suppress my shock as I caught a glimmer of the diamonds.I raised my eyes to meet his gaze, “How did you find me?” I questioned eagerly

The first thing I saw was her—Kiera, lying beside me, her face serene in sleep. In that moment, I was struck by her beauty. She was stunning in a way that made my chest tighten. Her hair tumbled in soft waves around her face, and her lips, slightly parted, looked so inviting. Watching the rise and fall of her chest was hypnotic, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away.For so long, I had held back my feelings for her, but the incident with Linda had pushed me over the edge. I had confessed my feelings without thinking, and ever since, Kiera had been acting a bit awkward around me.I knew she wouldn’t be thrilled about sharing a room, but I craved the closeness, the intimacy of just being in the same space. When Abuela suggested it, I felt like I had hit the jackpot. I pretended to argue against the idea, but deep down, I knew there was

But that wasn’t what kept me awake all night. No, it was the thought of her with Gabriel.I couldn’t shake the image of them together. The way he looks at her makes it seem like she is the last drop of whiskey in a dry bar. What if something happened between them last night? Did she look at him the way she looks at me? Did she touch him? The mere thought made my stomach burn.I flung the covers off and swung my legs over the side of the bed. Do I trust Kiera? The two of them in the same room felt like dangling cheese in front of a mouse—an invitation to disaster, too tempting, too dangerous. Even if Kiera held her ground, I knew that smooth-talking bastard Gabriel could charm the skin off an apple.Just as I was about to drown in my thoughts, a knock echoed through the room.I barely had time to collect my thoughts when Be

Gabriel and I barely spoke to each other, and I could tell she sensed the tension in the air, but she said nothing, her silence almost deafening.Gabriel eventually retreated to his room, leaving me across from Abuela, who was diligently knitting a scarf, her needles clicking like a clock.“Mrs. Vanessa?” I finally ventured, my voice almost swallowed by the silence.“Oh, come on, dear. We’re past the formalities, aren’t we? You’ll soon be my daughter-in-law, so you might as well start calling me Abuela,” she replied, a knowing smile tugging at the corners of her lips.I forced a smile back, the warmth barely reaching my eyes, “Okay, Abuela. Thank you for the amazing meal. It’s been a long day, so I think I’ll call it a night.”Her gaze lifted, eyes sparkling with mischief that sent a shiver down my spine, “Rest well, my dear.”As I nodded, my heart raced with a flutter of anxiety.Upon our ar

Miguel had transformed me into his sex toy, exploring his dirtiest darkest fantasies.

I glanced at Catherine, a conspiratorial grin breaking free as I mouthed, “It’s Rafael,” followed by a soft giggle.“Hi, Mom,” he said, his voice like a soothing melody that instantly warmed my heart.“If I didn’t know you better, I’d swear you’ve forgotten all about your mother,” I teased, though my heart ached a bit as I said it.“Mom, that’s not fair!

An awkward silence settled between us, and I was left fidgeting with my hair, my lips pressing together as I cleared my throat, avoiding his piercing gaze.“You.. umm.. you’re not joking?” I finally managed to ask, my eyes flitting around like a trapped bird looking for a way out.“Why would I want to joke with something as delicate as this?” He replied, his voice steady, almost too steady.My heart tumbled into my stomach, it was as if he’d thrown a grenade into my

Besides, why must it be me who spills coffee on you? What happened to you spilling coffee on me?” Her tone was a dramatic cocktail of sincerity and jest.“Fine, let’s toss that idea. How about we tell her I was in some sort of trouble and you saved me?” she countered, trying to keep the tone light.“Abuela would want details, and we wouldn’t want to give her the slightest hint about how we really met,” I shot back, noticing her brow knitting together as she pondered.I sighed heavily, resting my head against the car seat. My thoughts were a chaotic storm.“Wait, what if we say we met on a dating site? It seems realistic and doesn’t raise any
