Mia's POV
"I'll buy her for a million dollars." For the first few seconds, I thought it was an angel speaking before I realized it was the handsome man from earlier who was looking at me.
The normal me, you know the me before knowing that my tongue was about to be cut off, would sneer at the price, but my tongue was on the line, so I kept quiet. Can't argue with my savior. Plus the price was mouth watering.
"Are you sure about this, Mr. Hamilton? As you have seen, this lady can be quite brazen." The MC said, addressing the man with respect.
I could bet that all the darn auctioneer wanted was for me to suffer, but maybe the price would be worth more than that.
"Are you questioning my decisions, Williams?" The handsome man raised a brow as he threatened. He was terrifying, even more than Williams, the MC, and auctioneer.
Was I making the right decision choosing to be bought by him? But I literally had no other choice. It's either this or my tongue gets cut off, and the way I see these people, they would still sell me off after they've cut off my tongue, so yes. I had to be making a good decision by keeping my mouth shut so I can be bought in peace.
"Sold to Mr. Hamilton for a price of a million dollars." He knocked the hammer on the table, and that was it. I was sold.
Mr. Hamilton walked up to me. He was even more handsome up close. He had that kind of face that made women just want to get in his bed and stay with him forever because if they lost him, they knew another woman would snatch him in a heartbeat.
I was still fantasizing about his face when I felt something warm around my shoulders. The next thing I heard was, "We need to get you something to wear." He had taken off his jacket and placed it around my shoulders to cover me up. Again, I forgot I was naked.
"Thank you." I hurriedly said before wearing the jacket and fixing all the buttons. The suit jacket was large enough to cover my body from my shoulder to my mid-thigh, so I was no longer naked. He must be really muscular because of how broad the shoulders of the jacket were.
I walked alongside him until we reached the underground VIP garage. "Thank you for helping me out today." I backed away slowly, ready to run. "Until we meet again." I whispered before running away from him. "Hey! Wait!" I heard him yell after me, but that only made me pick up the pace.
"Shit!" That was the last thing I heard him say before I was completely out of his sight and ears. I ran and ran until I was sure Mr. Hamilton or anyone else from that shady place wouldn't be able to find me. That was a close one.
I stopped to catch my breath. As much as I was grateful to Mr. Hamilton, there was no way I was agreeing to be his sex slave or anything. I loved being free, and why I got kidnapped still remained a mystery to me.
I walked cautiously down a dark alley, looking left and right like a fugitive. It was getting really late, and from what I noticed, I was no longer in Queens, which was the town I grew up in.
"Stop!" I heard someone yell. I immediately looked behind me and saw a black, really expensive car heading my way.
What the hell! It was Mr. Hamilton. I picked up my pace again, determined to lose him in the chase. As I was running, I saw a narrow alley and quickly crept into it. There was no possible way his expensive car would pass here, so I could say I was safe.
I stayed in the alley for a while, needing to be sure he was gone before coming out. A few minutes later, I took a turn and headed out.
What took you so long?" A voice whispered behind me. Immediately, I jumped and turned to face the person, my hands on my chest. What, it was Mr. Hamilton. How did he get here? Could his car fly? My eyes widened at my own thoughts.
"What is this? Why are you following me?" I asked, still facing the aftermath of the shock he gave me when he whispered all so creepily behind me.
"Is that supposed to be a question?" He raised an eyebrow as he asked. I could see the amusement dancing around his dark black eyes.
"I already thanked you for saving me. Now I want to go home!" I declared.
I felt his gaze moving all over my body before he returned his eye to met my face.
" And you were going home like this?" He gestured to his jacket which was the only thing I was putting on.
Holy shit!
I forgot, again.
Could that be why he was following me? Did he want his suit jacket back?
" And you have my phone". He added.
His phone?
I reached into his pockets and brought out the said phone.
It was the latest Samsung that was yet to come out. I have only seen this on advertisment anytime my sister paid the subscription for our decoder.
" Here, take it back. But I have to keep the jacket, I'll return it back to you when I arrive home". I said giving him back his phone.
I was scared that something might happen to it in my hands, and them I'll have to pay for it.
And God knows that I don't have the kind of money to buy this phone.
I stretched my hands for Mr Hamilton to take back his phone, but he just kept looking at me.
Was there something on my face? I was tempted to touch it to check, but I shook my head.
I shivered in the cold. It was getting really dark and the wicked night breeze had begun. I needed shelter, fast. I was only wearing a suit jacket, I was bound to feel cold.
Mr Hamilton finally collected the phone from my hands.
" Ok, I'll be leaving now". I smiled trying my best to avoid his gaze.
" Where do you think you're going again? " He asked still staring at me.
Home? I wanted to answer but something told me that the question was rhetorical.
" Who's going to pay me back my one million dollars I spent to get you? "
So he wants me to pay him back?
There was no way in hell I could get that kind of money.
" I thought... "
" That's were your wrong, stop thinking about anything. You belong to me now".
" You... "
My temper rose up again.
How dare he something like that.
I thought he was a nice person who saved me from dogs not knowing he was a wolf!
" I didn't ask you to save me, you did it on your own. Like I said at the... Whatever that place is called, I don't want to be someone's slave". I yelled at the handsome dude in front of me.
But he was unfazed by my outburst. More like he was expecting it. I did lash out earlier that almost got my tongue cut of.
" You don't have a choice. Unless you want to pay me back the one million dollars I bought you with? "
My chest went up and down as I heaved for breath.
Despicable, just despicable. He knows I wouldn't be able to afford to bail myself and now uses it to threaten me, just perfect.
" Good. Now that that's settled, you're coming with me".
He grabbed my hands and began dragging me to where I presume he parked his car.
I couldn't even struggle. If I did where would I go? I didn't even know where I wa snot to talk of having someone who could help me out.
Was this going to be my life now?
I followed, more like allowed myself to be dragged by Mr. Hamilton, down to where he parked his car. Which was quite far from where he caught me.So the man ran all the way there just to catch me? I found it amusing. He left his expensive car, which I could bet cost way more than a million dollars, to catch me, who only cost one million? What if his car got stolen or worse, wrecked? Didn't he think about it before chasing me? But then again, rich people have no worries. They're rich."Where are you taking me to?" I asked once inside his car."To my house." He answ curtly, getting onto the driver's seat.I was surprised when I saw Mr. Hamilton open the door to the driver's seat and hop in.I thought rich men always had drivers or chauffeurs to drive them about. Why was he doing it himself? Could it be that Mr. Hamilton was not as rich as he portrayed himself to be? I glanced at the man on the driver's seat, carefully scrutinizing his every expression. Or could it be that he just loved t
"Be my daughter's maid." I blinked, trying to decipher his words. Was it code for something?"I don't get it." I shook my head, confusion etched on my face.Alexander crossed his legs, his gaze piercing mine. "What don't you get?" he asked, his tone firm but curious.I took a deep breath, my nerves tensed. His stare was unsettling, making my heart race. I clutched the blanket, my eyes darting to my clothes. I was no longer wearing Alexander's suit jacket but a silk extremely comfortable nightgown.My eyes widened as I looked to look at Alexander. "Did you..." I trailed off, my voice barely audible.Alexander's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What if I did?"I could feel the heat rising up to my face. I didn't could be embarrassment, or anger or both, but all I knew was that I was wronged. Alexander had seen me naked few hours ago, but that still didn't give him right to undress me.My temper flared and I lost control of my mouth. "You perverted..." " It wasn't me". We said at t
Lilly left few minutes after she threatened me and gave me a scare. As much as I hated to admit it, that girl was as scary as hellHow can someone be so cute, yet so vicious at the same goddamn timeI got up immediately, to look around. The place was beautiful, and huge. I had never even visited a place like this in my dreams not to talk of in real lifeI had less than two hours to get ready for the day. But for a person who was used to getting ready in under ten minutes, two hours felt like a whole lot of timeI got down from the bed, taking in the beauty of the room. Everything was so gorgeous and screaming expensive. I saw a white door by the corner of the room, and with me being me, I went there and opened iI gasped in amazement at what I saw. It was a fully furnished walk in closet. Everything was there, rating from the shoes to bags to the clothes... Even the underwear, everything was therAnd what surprised me the most was that, they were all my sizHow did Alexander know my s
After the 'act' with Lilly in her room, the girl listed a lot of ground rules. Some of which I was not able to catch because I was still shocked by the fact that the girl was a good actress. By the time she was done, we had taken over three hours and I was only able to scam three rules. ' Don't mess with my hair: You're not allowed to touch it no matter what Always be at my Beck and call: If I call you and you don't answer, we have a problem. And last one which I found very absurd,Don't fall for me dad! 'The first rule, was understandable. The girl had golden beautiful locks that I feared I would ruin if I touched it, but it would feel good to run my hand in it, but I was going to keep that one. The second rule, that was a typical spoilt brat move. Me, Mia have to always be at a little girl's beck and call. I felt my pride and self dignity disappear when she said that. I had to bit my lips to prevent myself from saying something that would make her tell her dad something terrib
Mia's POVHow dare they?What did they think I am to them? Huh, their fucking property?I am a freaking adult! They had no right to sell me like a used object in an auction house. My family I thought was just poor, but we had our dignity, yet they just sold me out?I knew they had always loved my older sister more than me. She was the obedient one, and the nice one and also the most pretty. She was the breadwinner of the family while I was just their second child. "Dargh!!" I screamed loudly. Using my hands to cover my ears. " Is that my phone?" Alice asked pointing at the broken phone that I threw on the floor. "Er...I want to be alone right now". I murmured rather angrily as I took my frustration elsewhere. "Mia, you're buying me a new phone!" I heard Alice yell after me and I snorted. Where the hell was I going to get money for a new phone? I let my legs lead me back into the house and inside Lilly's room. Why did it lead me here? Probably because it was the only place in t
" What about my Lilly?" Alexander asked dropping the papers in his hands, giving me his full attention. The boldness I had gathered to knock on the door suddenly disappeared as he stared at me." Well... Er..." I stammered. " If you don't have anything reasonable to say, leave". Alexander resumed his gaze at the large paperwork in front of me. How should I begin?Should I... I glanced up at Alexander who was behaving like I was no longer in his study. I was already here, let's just get this done and over with. " Do you know what's going on with her?" I asked after a few moments. Alexander hands scribbling something on a paper froze, then he looked up at me. " What do you mean? " " Lilly came back home today in tears. Well she wasn't exactly in crying, but I could tell she had cried. Her eyes were red and puffy and her voice hoarse. This isn't the first time this has happened, I noticed it for a few days now. "Now Alexander's attention was fully on me. He had dropped the pen in
I stared at Lilly's door for minutes without moving. Today was a Saturday, and would be the best time for me to get to know Mia like Alexander suggested. But... What the hell am I going to say to the girl? Alexander was out... Went to work on a Saturday, a sign of a typical work addict, so Lilly was in her room all by herself. Ok, I'm doing this. I stretched my hands and opened the door ever so slightly. Lilly was seated on the floor, concentrating on something so intensely. " What are you doing?" I peeped into Lilly's room from the slightly ajar door. The little witch looked up at me from her position, before she looked away. " What are you doing here? I didn't call for you"Yeah you didn't. Alright Mia, you're already here, so let's do this. I opened the door completely and walked into the room. " I just thought, you know... to check up on you, see how you're doing ". Mia shrugged her shoulders before continuing what she was doing. Walking closer to her, I looked down at
Third person POV. It's been weeks since Lilly and Mia became friends. Lilly began warming up to her slowly, and Mia began liking the little girl's company. The girl friendship with her came with a lot of benefits, one of them being that Mia no longer lacked food. No matter the hate the other servants in the house feel for her, they couldn't do anything, especially when Lilly backed her up. Alexander on the other hand, was always at work. He was yet to see the new friendship formed my his daughter and Lilly... But someone else had already noticed. " So... You and the 'little witch' are on good terms now?" Alice asked air coating the little witch. She had noticed that Mia no longer complained about her as often as she normally did. " Well... " Mia shrugged. The girl was good company, and could be really fun to be with, but there was no way she's admitting liking her. It would hurt her pride way too much. " We just came to an even ground". Alice raised her brow at Mia. She didn'
