The Auction Ring The Lifeless Body
“Sev! Sev!” shouted Michelangelo at the top of his lungs. “Come fast!” he shouted. “What? What?” Severino came running. He saw that Michelangelo had Renata in his arms covered with his robe. “What happened, Michel?” he asked. “She is not… not breathing!” Michelangelo stammered. He was on the verge of hyperventilating. “What are you talking about?” shouted Severino. “Please! Sev!” said Michelangelo. A single tear dropped from his eye. Severino ran to Michelangelo and placed his finger over Renata’s nose. He then moved his finger to her neck to check for her pulse. “There is a faint pulse, Michel! We have to take her to the doctor, NOW!!” ordered Severino. “I… did this,” sobbed Michelangelo. “I killed her.” “Stop it! Stop doing that! You don’t think when you are angry and now you are feeling guilty? Snap out of it. First, think about her, and then think about your guilt,” snapped Severino. Michelangelo realized that he was right. She needed medical assistance as soon as possible.
The Auction Ring The Death
Sameeksha was on the other end of the hospital treating her patients when she received a message from a nurse. “Come to ER stat! Your friend is here!” Sameeksha didn’t know which friend, but she read ‘stat’ and knew that she had to run. And people only came to the ER in emergencies. Which of her friends came to the ER, she didn’t need to know, she just wanted to be with them, whoever they were. The moment she saw Severino and Michelangelo standing inside the ER she understood it was Renata. Why always her? Why did she keep getting hurt when she was near Michelangelo? Why couldn’t he protect her? What happened this time? All the questions kept swirling inside her brain. “What happened to her? Why is she here?” she shouted from the other end of the room. She could see tears in Michelangelo’s eyes. But Michelangelo didn’t say a word. Severino asked her how did she know that Renata was in the hospital. She replied that everyone in the hospital knew about her and her friends. She demanded
The Auction Ring The Guilt
Sameeksha went inside the ER room and placed her head on Renata’s shoulder. Her tears kept falling on Renata’s shoulder. She didn’t know how she was going to tell everyone about the death of Renata. She kept her hands over the dead body and kept crying for long. Michelangelo wanted to run in but didn’t want to make Sameeksha angrier. She was right. He killed Renata. He didn’t know his anger was capable of such a thing. He could not believe that the girl he loved, he killed her himself. He stood outside the room and kept looking at Sameeksha lying over Renata’s chest and wailing her eyes out. His guilt was on the verge of killing him. He wanted to grab a scalpel and stab himself in his heart. The death of his love broke Michelangelo. The tears kept falling from his eyes. He was not allowed inside the room, he could not leave the hospital. He didn’t know what he should do. “Michel! Let’s go,” suggested Severino. “Where? Where can I go? My home is lying dead on that bed. Where can I
The Auction Ring The Morgue
Sameeksha shut the door in Severino’s and Michelangelo’s faces and lowered her face to cry. She could not believe that the girl who saved her, was dead. And now she had to inform all the other girls. How was she going to do that? Her hands and her mouth were not working properly. How was she going to tell them or even type about Renata on her phone. She decided that telling the girls over the phone about Renata was not the right way to tell them about her. This was a piece of face-to-face news. She curled her quivering lips into a small ‘O’ and exhaled a few times. She took out her phone and typed in, “I need you all to come to the hospital ASAP. There is something I have to tell you. Don’t call as I won’t pick up the phone, just come and I will tell you everything.” And she hit ‘send’. The cryptic message was enough to give anyone a heart attack. The girls saw the message and immediately left their jobs to come to the hospital. “Dr. Malhotra, we will need this room,” said a nurse.
The Auction Ring The Funeral Arrangements
A staring match was happening between the girls and Vicktor. They didn’t want him inside and he didn’t want to leave without saying his piece. “Girls! I…” Vicktor opened his mouth. But Hazel stopped him midway. “Don’t! don’t say that you are sorry. Your syndicate murdered her. Your Michel murdered her. What is there to say? What could you possibly say that we would want to listen.” “It’s true that I am here to say sorry, on Michel’s behalf, on my syndicate’s behalf. But I am also here to tell you that we need to organize her funeral. You guys cannot keep her here all her life. She needs to go,” said Vicktor. “She is already gone. And what life are you talking about? The life that your Michel took?” snapped Sameeksha. “Girls! What I meant was you guys need to bury her and get peace. Not suffer the way she suffered after meeting with Michel. Rest assured, Michel is suffering enough. He is going crazy. He kept hitting himself because he killed her in his anger. The doctor had to seda
The Auction Ring The Acceptance
The morning of the funeral arrived. Just like the rain took her, it came back to say sorry at her funeral. It was raining cats and dogs. The dark and gloomy day became darker and gloomier. The girls wore black dresses and came out of their rooms. “Are you guys ready?” asked Sameeksha. “I don’t think I will ever be,” sobbed Hazel. “Me too,” said Ambrosia. “How can this happen? We saw her one night before. She drank with us, she talked with us. How? How??” sniffled Valentina. “We will never forget her,” said Sameeksha and extended her arms to hug everyone. All ran to her, and the girls remained in each other embrace for minutes. The girls took their umbrellas and came out of the house. For the first time, no one was standing outside. Since the day they met Michelangelo, they always had someone at their door, if not someone at least their bodyguards. Today, the corridor was empty. They slowly walked to the lift and entered. Tears kept dropping from their eyes. Today was the last day
The Auction Ring The Eulogy
Tikhon did not say a single word after that and left with Aurora before the funeral started. All were standing scared, even the girls. Was he not afraid of giving kill orders before so many people? Angela and her people screamed the moment Vicktor moved a step forward. Thank God! He didn’t take out his gun or they would have fainted for sure. “What the hell was that?” screamed Angela. “Don’t worry about that. Father, please continue,” ordered Vicktor. He looked around, a few people left with Tikhon, but a few remained. All the Consiglieres made sure the nominees remained behind. They didn’t one point cut because they didn’t pay their respect to an Odal. The father opened a page of his diary and started reading from it. He had made a small speech in honour of Renata. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The times of loss come to all the time for mourning comes to all but in all those times, the Lord is with us to show us the path. We are
The Auction Ring The Attack
Tikhon was not ready to come to the funeral as it was just an Odal’s funeral. Vicktor sent him the invitation and also asked him to support Michelangelo. “If you come, he might say yes to Supreme Boss,” pleaded Vicktor. “People don’t say no to me. If I select him, he will have to say yes or I will wipe out his whole family, his whole clan,” said Tikhon. “But if you do that,” suddenly Vittore walked in, “he will become Supreme boss reluctantly. If you want him to do your bidding, you will have to make him think that it was his idea.” “What do you mean?” asked Tikhon. “I know my boy. If you kill us all, he will make his life mission to kill you. But if he becomes Supreme boss on his own, he will do everything that will make SMS even greater,” said Vittore. “How?” “Come to the funeral. Pay respect to the only girl he cared about. To save her he bought her. He even hit Narciso, Marcellus, and Yoshiro because they touched her. He killed Stephan because he touched her. And then threat
