My heart raced as I shivered in fright. I was standing backstage, blindfolded, hands tied behind my back, and naked. Not the type of naked like you're wearing an open swimsuit and feeling insecure, but freaking butt naked. "We've saved the best for last. Here's Mia, a twenty-four-year-old ready to fulfill all your needs." He just called my name! I thought it was a mistake - if he was who I thought he was, how would he know my name and age? I questioned myself, my heart still beating in terror of what's about to happen. Two men came forward and dragged me onto the stage. The first one untied my hands before following the other one to drag me. No, I don't want to go. I struggled to set myself free from their iron grip, but my efforts were completely useless because I was thrown onto the stage like a ragdoll. "We don't need to mishandle our product." I heard the guy with the microphone warn the two guys who threw me on the stage. Product! That darn bastard called me a product! I'll show them who's a product... I stood up and yanked the blindfold off my eyes.Well... Maybe that was a bad move. Soon enough, I discovered that I was standing on a stage with dozens of different pairs of eyes watching me, well, my body. Some whistled while others laughed. I panicked, quickly using my hands to cover my breasts and my lower abdomen, but it was just impossible; my hands were too small.
"Ok, as you all can see, Mia here is a feisty one; she would be good for all you young folks." The... I don't even know what to call him - since he was like an MC, so I'll say MC. The MC gestured for me to turn around, and I shook my head immensely. There was no way I was acknowledging the fact I was a product for them to check. The MC walked toward me harshly, grabbing my hands, which I was using to cover my breasts, and turned me around. "See, this girl got nice stuff." "Get your hands away from me." I spoke for the first time since I was dragged into a bathroom and scrubbed clean by a maid. My teeth were clenched together tightly as I stared right at the stupid MC. "See what I mean, fierce..." The MC joked about my actions, which got the other men seated laughing also. I glared at each and every one of them seated there. Was this a joke to them? Was I a joke to them?"Since this one was newly brought in, bidding starts at two thousand dollars, increases with a thousand dollars." My eyes widened when I heard the amount that bastard wanted to sell me for. Two thousand dollars? Wow, that's a lot of money. For a struggling artist like myself, two thousand dollars was a lot of money.
"Three thousand dollars..."
"Ten thousand dollars..." I was surprised by the amount they called at first, but after a few bids, I became used to it. Rich people, always ready to throw their money away. The bidding continued; a person said five hundred thousand dollars, and the rest just stopped bidding. Some grumbled but still dropped their bidding cards. "Five hundred thousand dollars going once, going twice..." The MC, the auctioneer, was about to strike his little hammer on the table when I suddenly spoke up. "I never said I wanted to be bought." I said calmly, even though I had no calm bones in my body at the moment. Only frightened, angry, and embarrassed ones. The man looked both sides, as if I wasn't talking to him. Pointing at himself, he asked, "Were you talking to me?" No, I was talking to the idiot behind your glasses. I badly wanted to say, but bit my tongue and held it in. I was in the presence of most of the richest and powerful men in the country; one word from them, I would be done for, but my mouth just wouldn't shut up. "Of course I was; did you see anyone behind you when you checked?" I asked sarcastically. For a moment there, I forgot I was butt naked. "Did your parents not teach you manners, little girl? You mouth should be full of thanks, and not spitting rubbish." The MC spark earning a snort from me. That was what everyone had been telling me since I got here. Hello, I was freaking kidnapped from my town and dragged all the way here. Who what and why should I be grateful? "You want a thank you? For what exactly? Huh who in the hell said I wanted to be bought?" I asked the MC shocking him. Guess he thought I wouldn't speak back, well he thought wrong because even I can't control my tongue when I get this mad. "I advise you to keep you mouth shut, or else..." "Or else what? You'll ruin your product for the buyer..." I said pointing at the old idiot who wanted to buy me for five hundred thousand dollars. I would confess, that was a huge amount of money but I wasn't for sale. "He was an old man which I could bet was in his late sixties of early seventies. A man like that would have more than two wives but still look for a woman outside to satisfy his needs. Tsk tsk I shook my head in disgrace. The MC calmed down when I pointed at the old man, who guess he was someone big in the city, if not in the whole country. "I don't care about what's happening here, but I promise not to sue if you'll take me home right now." I said in the most threatening voice I could muster. The hall went silent, before everyone burst in a loud laughter. What was so funny? Did they think I was bluffing? I looked around and saw everyone of them was laughing, except one guy. A handsome guy was seated at the back, silently but intensely watching me. His gaze was so intense that I became aware that I was not wearing any clothes. Covering my body with my hands would be useless, so I looked away hoping to forget it again. "Look here honey..." Did he just call me honey? "You can try to call whosoever you wish, the police are like pawns to the people here, so I advise you respect yourself before they choose to humble you." He warned.I could swear all the hairs on my hair stood up in fright. I felt the shiver down my spine when I saw the look on his face. He was serious, seriously serious. But I couldn't just back down like this. My pride just wouldn't let me. "Fine... Then... Then... I'll just," I struggled to find something threatening to say, but my brain was to scared to think of anything at the moment. The MC looked away from me and picked up his little hammer which he dropped earlier to confront me. "Sold to ..." My heart raced. Was this how I would he turned to a slave? "No no no, I can't take her." The old man who raised a bid for five hundred thousand, said stopping the MC from hitting his hammer on the table. I breath a sigh of relief. "Why?" The MC asked confusedly. I was also curious so I brought all my attention to him. "She's too much. She might as well kill me with high blood pressure from too much talking." The old man explained. I smiled in relief. For the first time my mouth saved me instead of putting me in more trouble. I inspected the MC face but instead of anger or sadness I expected to see on his face, I saw a sadistic smile plastered there. "What's going on?" I asked my tone trembling, when the huge men from earlier climbed the stage and began walking towards me. I think I spoke, well thought too soon. I looked towards the MC for an explanation. I could bet he could see the worry in my eyes because he smiled even harder as he walked towards me. Bending down he whispered into my ears. "Women that don't get sold because of some reasons, we have those reasons taken care of. And since you're case is because of your mouth..." He left the sentence incomplete but I understood it as clear as crystal.
They were going to cut off my tongue.
"Please, I'm sorry, I just didn't know what was going, I..." I begged, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. And just when I thought, it was over for my mouth, I heard a voice that sounded like an angel. "I'll buy her, for a million dollars!"Mia's POV"Ladies and gentlemen, the renowned artist who came hand in hand with the owner of ALM industries and Hamilton's Enterprise, Mia Andres ". The master of ceremonies of the event announced as I walked on the red carpet and into the event hall. Claps sounded from every corner of the room, and I smiled, waving the guest with my left hand, while my right was held by Alexander who was walking right beside me. " O. M. G, that's Alexander Hamilton". A group of women exclaimed jumping up and down like over excited teenagers. " Really? He is so hot!" Another person in their group said eyeing Alexander. I held his hand even tighter in mine before throwing the women a small smirk and then walking pass them with Alexander and Josh who was behind him. We walked pass them, and after a few more minutes of waving, settled at a far corner. " Imagine how those girls were looking at you just now " I huffed, still glaring at them. " It was almost as if they wanted to eat you alive ". Alexa
Mia's POVHe was here, right here. He came for me. I stared at Alexander who also was staring back at me.His black orbs were staring straight at me as we walked forward. For the first time since I knew him, I was able to read every single emotion in them. Anger, hurt, worry, guilt... And the one I had gotten so familiar with over the last few days before Verona destroyed everything, love. " Alexander". I muttered as I blinked back the tears that had began forming again in my eyes. " Mia, are you alright?" Alexander asked walking towards me. When Gregory and Killian dragged me here, I didn't cry. After getting slapped by both of them, I still didn't cry. Even when my hands felt numb because I've been up here for a few hours now, I still didn't cry... But now, just seeing Alexander's face and hearing his voice which was filled with so much concern for me, and my were already getting teary. " Stop right were you are " Gregory commanded pulling a gun from behind his pants. " Wha
Mia's POVMy cheeks stinged even more and I winced in pain growling under my breath. My entire face felt so sore. Why wouldn't it, in the last hour I had been slapped more than five times by Gregory's huge hands. It was a miracle my head was still stuck to my body right now. And my hands... I wiggled my hands which were handing just above me firmly tied together with a strong rope. The only difference from how I looked right now and a picture of a madman being hanged... Was the fact that my head wasn't the one on the rope. My face had begun to swell from the constant slaps, while my hair which I had previously tied in a pony tail was scattered around my face looking so disheveled. I sure as hell didn't think this was exactly what was going to happen after I left the old lady's house. It has taken me a bit over an hour to get here because of how late it was and how hard it was to find a taxi, and after I did arrive what welcomed me was a hot slap from Killian!My face was pushed
Alexander's POV" What makes you think I care about here?" I growled at Gregory on the phone. I was just with Amelia in the hospital, who had surprisingly woken up when I got a call from the bastard.He said he has Mia and was going to kill her... Why was I going to care about that? I thought.But the truth was that I immediately became terrified." Dear brother, I heard a good source that you're in love with this woman, so... I think you do care ". Gregory said sounding nonchalant. I could bet he had a smirk on his face right now.I clutched my phone tightly and I gritted my teeth in anger.This sounded way to fake to be true.Mia was working for him, she was his ally, why on earth would he kidnap her?" Mia is in my hands, and I advise to come quickly, or else..."

Mia's POVAs soon as I saw the door close, my eyes went back to the food on the table and I rushed it into my mouth. "Uhmm..." I moaned in delight. It was fucking delicious. Or was it just because I hadn't had anything to eat since morning. My stomach had started to hurt, but instantly calmed down as the food went down my stomach. " I did not die from a heart break, I did not die from a car crash, there is no way I'm dieing from ulcer ". I said to myself, taking more bites of the delicious porridge in front of me. After I left Alexander's house, my ulcer cramps became worse. Because I was an artist and public figure, I wasn't allowed to eat much, sometimes not at all, all for the same reason, ' you have to maintain your figure 'For fuck sake I have had this figure even before I became famous and rich. My stomach had suffered a lot, and even after coming here, I hadn't had time to just treat myself to a good meal. Though the ones I ate at Alexander's this past few days, were ama
Mia's POV" You can sleep here for the night Ms". I walked into the small room, but not before flashing the old lady a thank you smile.She turned around to leave, but hesitated turning back to face me " Please, whatever is bothering you, I doubt it's worth you taking your life. " Actually it is. But I kept my mouth shut and just nodded, forcing a smile to my face. The old lady smiled back and then left, leaving me alone in the small room. "Oh shit " I cursed collapsing on the bed. Few hours ago I had walked out to the road, willing to end everything, my entire life... When suddenly I heard someone yell at me to quickly cross. It was then I became aware that I was in the middle of an high way, surrounded by fast moving cars. All the feeling of suicide disappeared from me almost instantly and got replaced with fear, fear of death. It took my almost ten minutes to cross the damn road, and thankfully I did because a huge truck began passing though. If I was still there at that t
Gregory's POV"Mia? No ". The lady shook her head. This time she was trembling for real, so that meant she was lying. I snickered shaking my head with a small smirk on my face. "You gave her a head up didn't you?"She dropped the pretense, and her face turned stern. "This wrong. What you're doing, and I just wanted to help "Help? I laughed shaking my head. " How is it in your position to help? "Killian grunted behind me in annoyance. " Should I take care of her boss? " He asked with a small whisper, and I could tell the receptionist heard it because she began moving backwards I moved forward copying her steps, and she kept on walking backwards until her back touched the desk and she couldn't go any further." You people... You people can't do anything to me. I'll..." Her hands moved around the desk probably looking for her phone. Oh I was right. The second she got it, she waved it at me, " I'll call the police if you come any closer ". "Police?" I snorted in laughter. " Should
Gregory's POV" Killian, I promise you that after this is all done, and I'm sitting on the Hamilton's throne, I'll give you Mia to play with " I said all of a sudden as we walked into the hotel. " Mia? " Killian repeated looking surprised. " What do you mean? "I glanced at my usually emotionless bodyguard who now had a pink stain on his cheeks. He looked away when he noticed my gaze on him. " I'm not blind, I've noticed that you harbor designs on her for a long time now"Though Killian tried to hide it, I could tell he wanted Mia. Who wouldn't? The girl has an amazing body figure and the face to match. " But Ms Mia is your woman boss, I wouldn't dare ". Killian argued shaking his head firmly. " You already have, and I don't mind it. " I stated. " After I've defeated Alexander, Mia would be of no use to me any longer. I would most definitely kill her, but I wanted my longest bodyguard to have his wish with her first ". I said nonchalantly. If the new plan works, Mia would litera
