Dancing With The Devil Chapter 1: Sold at an Auction
It was Auction Day. The sun had barely risen, casting a pale light through the grimy windows of the old warehouse. Inside, the air was thick with the stench of sweat and desperation. Shadows danced in the dimly lit space, moving with an eerie life of their own. Her father had taken another loan to gamble, chasing after dreams of quick riches. As always, luck had not been on his side, and the creditors were relentless. This time, he had nothing left to give. Nothing except her. The auction room was packed with men, their faces hidden in the dim gloom. They clapped and cheered as different girls were brought onto the stage, each one a sacrificial offering to their base desires. The auctioneer's voice echoed through the space, a frightening chant that punctuated the filthy spectacle. The men raised their tags, their laughter mingling with the cries of the girls, creating a roar of misery and greed. Two sturdily built men dragged her onto the stage. She stumbled, her feet barely catch
Dancing With The Devil Chapter 2: The Black Dress
The first sensation she registered was the throbbing pain in her head, followed by the dull ache that pulsed through her body. She opened her eyes slowly, squinting against the muted light filtering through a small, barred window high on the wall. She tried to move, but her muscles screamed in protest. The memories of yesterday's auction flooded back, the man that was in here with her…. What had happened? She couldn’t remember anything that happened after their short convo, she felt a shiver run down her spine. She struggled to stand, her limbs stiff and uncooperative. The events of the previous night were a blur. The last clear memory she had was of the man that had an eerie shadow lurking around him— who was he? Now, she was awake and aware, every fiber of her being adapted to the unfamiliar and ominous surroundings. She approached the door, testing the knob with a rapid unsettled hand. It was locked, as she had feared. She twisted it harder, pulling and pushing, but the door r
Dancing With The Devil Chapter 3: My Escape
Ten minutes later, she was still sprawled on the floor, her body tense with anticipation, her mind racing with thoughts of escape. Her heart pounded in her chest as she listened for any sound, any hint that the door might open. And then, finally, she heard it—the faint click of the lock turning. The door knob twisted slowly, and she bolted upright, ready to spring into action. As the door creaked open, she lunged forward, pushing the maid aside with all her strength. The maid stumbled, taken completely by surprise, and fell against the wall. She didn’t waste a second. She bolted down the hallway, her bare feet slapping against the cold stone floor, driven by a desperate need to escape this horror of a life her father had created. Her surroundings blurred as she ran, her breath coming in short, panicked gasps. She spotted two bodyguards stationed by the door of what looked like a living room. Without hesitation, she sprinted past them, her speed and determination not fazing them. She
Dancing With The Devil Chapter 4: Awakening and Dread
She woke up to a distressing hunger that felt like a beast clawing at her insides. Her head throbbed with a dull ache, and every muscle in her body protested as she tried to move. She had no idea how long she had been unconscious, but the desperation in her gut told her it had been too long. Two days, she guessed, maybe more. Slowly, painfully, she managed to sit up and look around. The room was different from how she remembered it. The portraits that had once lined the walls were gone, leaving behind faint outlines where they had been hung. The only thing that remained in the room was the bed she lay on, its sheets crumpled and dirty from her restless sleep. The emptiness of the room felt like a physical weight pressing down on her, amplifying her sense of isolation. She struggled to stand, her legs trembling as if they might give way beneath her. She took a few unsteady steps, trying to orient herself, when she heard a soft knock on the door. Her heart leapt into her throat as the
Dancing With The Devil Chapter 5: Shadows
Dante's phone buzzed loudly, cutting through the tense silence that hung between them in the room. His expression darkened as he glanced at the screen, and without a word, he turned on his heel and rushed out of the room, the door slamming shut behind him. She was left standing alone, her heart pounding in her chest. The room seemed to close in around her, the shadows deepening in the absence of Dante’s oppressive presence. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. This was her chance. She moved quickly, slipping out of Dante's room and into the hallway. The mansion was a labyrinth of dark, ornate corridors. She moved cautiously, her footsteps echoing off the polished wooden floors. Eventually, she found her way to the front of the house. The heavy front doors opened easily, and she stepped outside, drawing in a deep breath of the cool evening air. She paused on the front steps, taking in the sight of the mansion. Despite its dark and gloomy vibe, there was something

""I'm so sorry," she stammered, her heart racing. She turned to see him striding toward her, his face filled with fury. The room seemed to close in around her, the walls shrinking as his towering presence approached.He stopped just inches away, his breath hot and rapid. "This is the only picture I have of my mother," he said, his voice low and menacing. His eyes, dark with rage, bored into hers. "What are you going to do about this?"She took a step back, her mind whirling at what she had just done. The broken frame and the torn photograph lay on the floor between them, a silent testament to her mistake. "I'm so sorry," she repeated, her voice trembling. She took another step back and stumbled onto the bed, her eyes never leaving his. The mattress creaked under her weight, adding to the tension that crackled in the air.Dante followed, his eyes dark with anger. The air around him seemed to vibrate with his fury. "What will you do to make me forgive you?" he asked, his voice soft but

She clutched the bedspread, her knuckles white with tension. "What do you want?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady, though it wavered with fear.He took a step closer, his eyes gleaming with malice. "You looked so scared earlier," he said, his voice a low, menacing purr. "it was almost cute.Thought I'd come check on you." She backed away, pressing herself against the headboard. "Stay away from me," she pleaded, her voice shaking. He ignored her, advancing with a predatory smile. "Come on, don’t be like that. You'll enjoy this," he said, reaching out to grab her. Panic surged through her, and she tried to push him away, but he was too strong. His hands were rough, tearing at her clothes as she struggled and screamed for help. The fear and helplessness were overwhelming, choking her as she fought in vain against his advances. Just when she thought all hope was lost, the door flew open with a thunderous crash. Dante stormed in, followed by two guards. His eyes blazed wi
