Mia's POVThe bidding bar was a cacophony of voices, each one louder than the last. Men, young and old, raised their bids, their eyes ravenous. The numbers climbed higher and higher, each one a testament to the desperation of my situation.In the sea of faces, one stood out - an elderly man with a predatory smile. Every time his hand raised, my heart sank a little deeper. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving with him. I closed my eyes, whispering a silent prayer to anyone who was listening.Then, a voice cut through the chaos, clear and unmistakably female. "Two million dollars."The room fell silent. All eyes turned to the source of the voice, a young woman sitting at a table near the back. Her expression was unreadable, but her eyes were fixed on me.The auctioneer hesitated for a moment, then spoke up. "Two million dollars, going once... going twice..."I held my breath, hardly daring to believe what was happening. The old man had dropped out of the bidding, but this woman was offering three times as much as anyone else. Who was she? And why was she willing to spend so much money on me?"Sold!" The auctioneer's gavel came down with a finality that made my heart skip a beat. It was over. I was sold.The woman rose from her seat and made her way towards the stage, her eyes never leaving mine. As she approached, I could see that she was young, maybe a few years older than me. She was dressed in designer clothes, her hair perfectly styled, and she carried herself with the confidence of someone used to getting what she wanted."Congratulations," she said, her voice low and smooth. "You're mine now."I didn't know what to say. I was still in shock, still trying to process what had just happened. All I could do was nod dumbly.The woman smiled, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. In fact, I have a proposition for you."—Bab terkait

—Third POVAs they arrived at the mansion, Alessandra gave Mia a tour of the place. "Here's our room," Alessandra said, opening the door to a spacious bedroom. "It's big for you," Mia remarked, looking around in awe. "That's the size of our house."Alessandra smiled. "Well, I like my space. And I want you to feel comfortable here."Mia nodded, still a little nervous. Alessandra's reassurances helped, but the whole situation was still overwhelming."I know this is all new to you," Alessandra said, "but I promise I won't hurt you. And I have a proposition for you."Mia looked at her, curious."I'm a busy person," Alessandra continued. "I run multiple companies and have a lot of extra-curricular activities. I often come home late and don't have time for relationships. That's where you come in. I want you to take care of my personal cravings, to fulfill my needs."Mia was taken aback. "I've never done anything like this before," she admitted."Neither have I," Alessandra said, "but I'm

—Alessandra could feel the tension in the room and decided to break the silence. "What do you want to wear to sleep in?" she asked Mia. "T-shirt and shorts," Mia replied. Alessandra got a t-shirt and shorts and gave them to Mia. "Here, I'll just take a shower," she said as she headed to the bathroom.After a few minutes, Alessandra emerged from the bathroom with wet hair, looking even more stunning than before. Mia couldn't help but stare for a second. Alessandra caught her gaze and smiled."Do you prefer to sleep alone?" Mia asked.Alessandra shook her head. "No, I prefer not to sleep alone," she said with a chuckle.Mia laughed too and said, "So the big bad CEO is afraid of the dark, huh?"As they got into bed, there was a lot of distance between them. Alessandra suddenly grabbed Mia and pulled her closer. "Here, come closer," she said, back hugging Mia. "Don't worry, nothing will happen tonight.Mia felt Alessandra's warm breath on her neck and her heart started racing. She co

She texted her parents to let them know she was okay, then headed downstairs in search of coffee."Good morning," Alessandra greeted her from the sofa, where she was typing away on her laptop.Mia smiled and asked if there was any coffee. Alessandra pointed her to the coffee maker and then informed her that the housekeepers were aware of her stay and that she could ask them for anything she needed."Monica is my favorite, so she's got you," Alessandra added with a smile.They then discussed the story they would tell if anyone asked about Mia's presence in the mansion. Alessandra suggested that they say Mia was a younger sister of a friend of hers who was here to model until she got a job.Mia was hesitant. "Do you think they'll believe that I'm a model?" she asked. "I don't exactly fit the requirements."Alessandra smiled. "Trust me, you'll fit in just fine," she said.

"Come in," she called out, her voice steady.The door creaked open to reveal her brother, a serious expression on his face.
