Janiyah finds herself reluctantly on the auction stage in a world where women are auctioned off for one-night stands because she is desperately trying to get money for her sick sister's medical care. Janiyah becomes increasingly uncomfortable as the auction continues, especially when an unexpected bidder makes an astonishing fifty million dollars for her.

Chapter 1

1 - Auction Star

I was standing on the big stage in front of many people who seemed excited about what was going to happen next. Wearing this long white fitted dress that was full of diamonds on it, provided by our Manager. Somehow, I am not comfortable in this dress, I can feel that I can’t walk properly in this, it seems that I’m inside the web of the spider that wanted to get out from it, but I need to bring this dress as good as it can be. And the make-up artist did put something in my skin to make it more beautiful and shine like what I am wearing right now but at this point, I can feel the itchiness of my skin. He said this is going to be perfect for the eyes of our clients and that’s the cue that I don’t have the right to say no of their plans and ideas.

I had the full spotlight of the dazzling light and I was almost blind but I didn't mind it because the order was to smile when we were on stage, smile even though I tried to show that this job was okay with me. I almost forgot that I even had the dignity to go to this place. Who cares about dignity or self-respect if you need to find a way to survive and help your family.

I have to do this for my sister even though I know everyone here is thinking of nothing but having fun with their money.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome our Auction Star, Janiyah!”

Along with the shout of the announcer is the applause of the crowd. Big business people are here. I won't even wonder why some men's wives are with them tonight because today is the biggest event of the Auction Club where some businessmen or rich people bid for women they want to use.

Even though I didn't want to do it, I smiled in front of them all. I couldn't do anything because I needed the money badly. When I am watching the people in this hall, I can stop myself wondering how could they waste their money for a million dollars for a such thing like this, an auction for women that they wanted to use or display in their lives while my sister is fighting for her life and we, her family has nothing to do but to put ourselves in a different way of providing a money for her operation. I wanted to cry and beg these people to help me but that’s not the way it is. I need to do my best to catch the attention of anyone here just to bid a lot of millions for me.

But inside my heart, I really want to escape from there, because I know what kind of people are here.

"Janiyah, please step forward and show how beautiful you are, especially in the clothes you are wearing tonight. Agree?!” said the announcer.

I did as he said, I went to the front where I could be seen better because of the spotlight that was focusing on me. The applause I heard was loud, but all I could think about was what time it would end so I could leave. I don't know why our Manager chose me to be the Auction Star.

"The bid is now open! First offer, one million for one night!" the announcer said.

One million? Wait, I just heard a while ago before the auction that someone just bid one million for a vase. Does this mean that a vase is the same price as mine? And someone just also said that it’s nothing if they spent 1 million dollars for a lady. One million is also the exact amount that I need for my sister’s operation! How could these people think that a vase is more important than a person's life?

"Two million!" A guy wearing a tuxedo shouted with a paddle number in his hand.

"Three million from Mr. Anyone can beat his offer?"

The offers mentioned by some guys are not enough for me because I will not be able to get the full amount of money that will be paid by the person who will bid me. That’s not enough for my family, it can only pay maybe a half of our hospital bills. As I thought about how to get a higher amount from someone, I moved my body slowly to do a sexy dance, touching from my hips to my neck like I was in front of someone who wants to get me. I walked like I owned the whole stage,

a supermodel like what our Manager told us to do if we really want to market ourselves. And I can hear claps from the audience, it’s working.

But while doing this auction, the nervousness in my chest still didn't disappear. I know how hard it will be after tonight.

“Six million!” another guy offered.

"Wow, six million! That's a lot. And it seems that no one can defeat six million. We are going to close the deal—"

“Fifty million dollars.”

The auction place was filled with silent shocks of what we've heard. I looked at the man in the back who looked seriously in the front—looking into my eyes. I got even more nervous because of him looking at me right now. The man was just wearing a simple white plain shirt revealing his tattoos, dark blue jeans and a pair of black shoes. You cannot tell directly that he can afford to bid 50 million dollars for this. The spotlight came to him and his expression darkened. He walked like a lion, with finesse, and ease.

No one wanted to speak, we just stared at the man until he stood up. I couldn't believe what I heard. This is the first time that someone will offer that much money.

We were all surprised by what the man said, my world seemed to stop when he slowly walked closer to the stage, or should I say, closer to me still not taking his eyes off me. What is he doing?

"S-sir? A-are you sure?” Even the announcer stuttered to say that question completely when the man who offered a lot of money for me was nearby.

Who is this man?

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" asked the man.

Even his voice is so unique that you will also get nervous if you hear it. Someone came up to his side, a man handed over a piece of paper. I also looked at the announcer and my Manager who was surprised to see the paper he was holding.

"50 million dollars for this lady. Is that enough?” the man asked and showed the paper he had written on, I knew it was a check.

My Manager couldn't answer right away, he was just stunned by the man and the check he was holding. I'm sure my Manager will accept the money because it's the first time someone has offered such a huge amount just for a girl.

"Announce it," I heard the Manager whisper to the announcer so the announcer quickly took the microphone.

"Anyone can beat the 50 million dollars from this man?" he asked. No one answered, the people were silent, perhaps also surprised by what happened.

"The deal is now closed. 50 Million Dollars for Janiyah!” He screamed so loudly.

I still can't speak, as if the words I want to say won't come out. The man looked at me seriously and we were all even more surprised when he turned and walked out of the Auditorium Hall.

"Janiyah, let's go. Your colleagues will be next.” The Manager said happily. I followed him and so did the man who was with the man earlier.

"My boss needs you now."

Because of what the man said, my Manager and I stopped. "Yes, I will dress Janiyah first. I'll take her to where your car is." My Manager said with a smile but the man shook his head.

"My boss ordered that I wait for the woman and I will take her myself." The man still answered seriously.

My Manager and I looked at each other, he sighed and nodded to the man. "Alright, please wait for her outside because there are also women getting dressed inside." The man didn't answer what the Manager said so he just pulled me into the dressing room.

"Wow, you see that? That man is big time and you are lucky because he chose you.” He happily told me.

Am I really lucky or him? I will not be able to get the money the man gave in full because we will only get twenty-percent of all the money received. He will take the excess. But because I need to have the money to provide the needs of my family such as to expand our house to buy some foods for us,, I just accepted that's the way it was. Twenty-percent of the fifty million that the man gave is also a lot.

"Get dressed, that customer of ours looks impatient. Faster.” He rushes to me.

I followed what he said because I wanted to leave too. When I entered the dressing room where my colleagues were, I heard their whispers about me. The news reached here immediately that some rich man bought me.

Someone is happy, someone is surprised and someone is envious of what happened. I don't care because like them, I'm just working.

"I will send the money to your bank tomorrow, Janiyah." I turned to my Manager when he spoke.

Now I'm out of the dressing room and going to the parking lot with the male staff.

"Okay, sir. I will wait.” I smiled sparingly. I need the money today but I can't do anything because it's in the rules that the Manager should send the money.

"Let's go," I said to the man.

I just followed him to the parking lot, letting him open the SUV, a Cadillac Escalade in front of me.

“Get in.” I heard a baritone voice from inside the car. I wasn't looking at the man, I just went in to end this madness.

"Who are you?" That's my starting question to the man.

He is wearing shades, it's night and he's just inside his car. Why does he still wear glasses?

"That is not our agenda today. I bid fifty million dollars for you so all you have to do is obey everything I command you."

Who is this person and if he can talk it's like he really bought me for more than fifty million.

"I guess you're new to the world of women's auctions? I won't be able to get all the money you gave me." I said directly.

It's a secret but I don't care. We shouldn't be telling customers that.

"What? What do you mean?" the man asked me.

I took a deep breath and faced him directly. "Twenty percent is mine and the rest is theirs so don't act like you paid me more than what I got half." I said long.

I was surprised when he turned to his side and took the same paper as before.

"Maybe this is too much for you to follow me," he said while writing in the paper he was holding. “Another fifty million dollars. All yours.” I couldn't react when he took my hand and placed the check.

"What do you want and you seem so desperate to buy me?" I asked, annoyed.

He just looked straight into my eyes which made my chest beat faster.

"What?" I asked.

He slowly approached me. I wanted to get out of the car but I don't know why I couldn't open the door.

"I'll pay you monthly, do what I say." What did he want me to do, why didn't he want to straighten me out when it was over?

"Tell me," I said.

If this job is the only way to make our living get better, that's fine. Even though I'm sure the man next to me right now can't be trusted.

He licked his lips so I was even more nervous, what the hell is he doing.

"Be my wife for at least one year."

2 - The Wife
“Oh God!”I immediately got up from my bed, and wondered how did I get home here? I was with the man just last night. And now? Wait, what happened? I was just talking to him about the money and the last thing he said was. "Oh my gosh!""Janiyah, what happened?"I turned to my mother in shock as she rushed into my room. Her face was worried, maybe because of my shout. What just really happened? Because of the last thing the man said I passed out and now, I don't know how I got home."Are you alright? Are you feeling well?” Mom asked.Am I feeling fine? What does she mean? I looked at my mother in confusion because of what she asked. "The man brought you here last night, he said you passed out on the way and luckily you have your ID in your bag so they know where to take you," she said , it was a cue for her that I was wondering what was happening.Who sent me? That man or his men? Do I still need to thank him for what he did or not? Well, maybe not because I don't want to see that man

3 - Meet The Family
Wait, why is this man full of surprises? "What are you doing?" I whispered to him, I could still hear the applause of the people around us. Why are they applauding? And why is also I can hear the applause of the people here as well?"I'm just telling them that you're going to stay here," he said without hesitation.I clenched my fists, if it wasn't for his men who seemed to kill their boss who made the wrong move, I would have hit the man next to me a long time ago.“I went along with what you ordered because I thought we would talk, and I thought you would give me a sensible job. I'm not kidding here, man.” I told him.He looked at me seriously and signaled the people to leave and then they went back to what they were doing. "Let us talk to my office," he said and left first.I sighed and then followed him. We went up the stairs which you can tell that their stairs are really expensive because it’s a glass. He walked into a room with the word 'Office' written on it, before I followed

4 - First Day at Work
A few hours later, my family and Javier's conversation ended. I'm just listening to them, my family has a lot of questions for Javier and Javier doesn't run out of answers either. I don't know if everything he answered about my family is true.."Are you really rich?" my brother asked. To me that question is offensive but Javier answered professionally."My family is rich but I have my own business right now, and Janiyah is my new secretary." It seems true if he says it."Dad, Mom, he needs to go now," I told them. Only then did they notice me as if they hadn't been with me since earlier."Oh, go with him, Janiyah." My mother said with a smile. I just nodded and then looked at the man next to me."Let's go? I'll take you outside—”"Aren't you coming home with me?" I immediately covered his mouth and pulled him out of the house. Oh God, why did he have to say that."What are you doing?" I asked him bluntly when we got out and were next to his car, it was also his driver would open the c

5 - Same Room
He wasn't lying because four hours later he arrived from Hong Kong. How long is the flight from there to here?"Good evening, Master Javier." I heard the guards greet him. I went down the stairs from his room and looked at him as I walked. He was just looking at me and I don't understand why I was nervous while looking into his eyes that didn't want to let go of me."How are you here?" That was his first question when we both got close."I'm doing fine here, Javier. I thought you were in Hong Kong, why are you here?" I asked him softly because I didn't want his employees to think who I was to ask such a question to their boss."I told you that I was going home and I ended my meeting immediately so that I could go home and talk to you," he said.Just that fast? He just came home right away just to talk to me? I'm fine anyway, but I'll admit it's better if he's here so that when I have questions, I'll just ask him."Have you seen your room already?" he asked. I want to hit him, how dare

6 - Make-Over
As Javier said, we left in the morning. He said we were going somewhere but he won’t always be with me because he also had other things to take care of so two of his helpers went with me. Girly and Sandy. If I'm not mistaken, they both seem to be my age, twenty-seven years old."The driver will pick you up for your next appointment after in the mall," said Javier when the car stopped at a mall.I frowned but didn't say anything. I just let him do what he asked me to do. "Girly, this is the list. Make sure you follow that and finish immediately before the next appointment." He handed something to Girly. I want to take it but he's still here, maybe only later when he leaves.He turned to me. "You'll be okay here," he said. That was not a question but he immediately decided that I would be fine with whatever Girly and Sandy and I will do at the mall."Yeah, are you going to follow us inside or are you going to leave?" I'm afraid to ask even though he's leaving right away."Do you want me

7 - Girlfriend
We ended up at Hillary's shop and I still can't get over what she said earlier that she wasn't Javier's choice to be his wife. Me too, I don't know why because I'm just a stranger in Javier's life."Thank you, Hillary." I smiled at her. She hugged me."I hope you like all the clothes I chose for you," she whispered.Yes, all the clothes she chose for me are so beautiful. No wonder why he is Javier's stylist. Even Javier's simple clothes suit him.“We're going first, Hillary. Thank you very much again.""Thank you too, Janiyah. We're friends already, right?" she asked. I smiled widely and then nodded.There's nothing wrong with her being my friend, she's also kind. "We are friends now," I told her.After we finished at Hillary's shop, we went to the restaurant. It's not on the list but it's noon so we need to eat three first. "Why here?" I asked Girly because It’s a luxury restaurant. It can only be done at a cheap restaurant."Don't worry, Miss Janiyah. I have Master Javier's card wit

8 - Angela
We arrived at what he said was his friend's shop. I thought that my day would be quiet with him because he doesn't talk much, but I was wrong, because his friends are always talking to him and me. They have a lot of questions and I still haven't chosen what to wear."Great, you're beautiful. You look like her—”"Luella, stop it." Javier stopped his female friend who had been approaching me for a while. "Come here, Janiyah. Choose the gown you want." Javier pulled me to his side and handed me the album with the options on it.While I was looking at the beautiful gowns, I couldn't escape the whispers that were close to me. I looked at Javier, he was far away from me because he was talking to someone."Yeah, she looks just like her. Maybe the only difference is that Janiyah is simple and modest.”"I know right, is it her twin?""I don't think so—oh shit, Javier is coming."They stopped talking when Javier came next to me again with a girl."This is Lhian, she's a wedding organizer.

9 - Engagement Party
The week of Javier and I's wedding came, I was surprised by the influx of people at his mansion. A few are his family and friends. It's like I'm in another world where I'm lost because they're the ones I see. I can say that this is not my life, this is not me."Hey, have you seen Javier?" Someone went to me, a man who is just as tall as Javier, he's wearing a polo shirt and I also see his tattoo that is similar to Javier's tattoo on his arm.I saw five men here with tattoos on their arms."Hey, I'm talking to you. Have you seen your boss?” he asked again.Boss? Did he think I was a maid here? Well, I can't blame him either because Javier hasn't introduced me as his wife yet so maybe they thought I am a maid."Oh, I'm sorry. I have never seen him," I answered. And yes, what I said is true. I haven't seen Javier again since the number of visitors to his mansion increased.He told me the other day that there will be a party at his mansion and some guests will be here, I didn't expect man

10 - Meeting The Family
So, this is the day I am waiting for. And Javier and I are getting married tomorrow. I know, this is so fast. But I cannot control it. Javier is the one driving the car, he did not bring guards and driver and I was also sitting in the front seat. This is the first time that he will be driving and it will be just the two of us together. I feel like this is the first time I've ever felt even more uncomfortable."You're so quiet," he began after a few minutes of silence between the two of us. I don't have anything to say so I don't even know what topic to open."You too, Javier. You've been quiet for a while, I don't want to speak first because I don't have anything to say either," I answered.I heard him sigh, there was traffic on the road so the car stopped. I can feel that he looked at me so I also turned to him which I wish I hadn't done. Why is that? He just looked at me as if I was being electrocuted."Are you sure you're okay with us going to my family's house now?" he asked whic
