Prologue

In the bustling city of Noirville, the capital city of Estria, people from the higher society have gathered in one place to fill their obscene desires and to covet the innocence of the ladies that will be put in front of them to acquire.

In the desolate alley of the city's so called red light street, a building stood ten stories high. Sa unang palapag ay matatagpuan ang mga agency ng illegal brokers na smugglers ng kahit ano—even people.

Walang nakakaalam kung ano ang mayroon sa natitira pang siyam na palapag ng gusali. No one dares and no one's interested, for anyone who comes in this street are people with certain agendas and are busy taking care if theirselves to even notice what's on their surroundings.

"15 million from VIP 7" Narinig kong sabi ng emcee kasabay ng mga hindi makapaniwalang usal ng mga taong naroon din sa pagtitipon na 'yon.

I can't even recall how the hell I came here. But now I find myself standing in front of a masked crowd while under the limelight.

Nakuha na ang iba kong mga kasama and I'm the last item to be auctioned before everything of this ends.

"Woahh, 20 million from VIP 4!" Sigaw ulit ng emcee nang kasabay ng pagtaas ng placard ng isa sa mga audience na may nakasulat na number 4. VIP 4 and VIP 7 were the only ones who put up a fight with each other just to take me home and the latter was first to bid on me.

"VIP 7 raised the bid to 25 million!" I gasped with the audiences as I heard that price. But contrary to them, I ain't satisfied with that measly 25 million! I'm worth more than that!

Nangangalay na ako at hindi pa rin tapos sa pagbid tong dalawang to. From VIP 7's 25 million to VIP 4's 40 million.

Standing in the stage with only bikini on is sure embarrassing. I've been a very bold person but I can't help but get conscious as I can feel their peircing  gazes on my body.

At kahit gaano kong titig ay hindi ko talaga maaninag ang pagmumukha ng dalawang mokong na nagkakandarapa na magbid para sakin. The entirety of this hall is dim with the stage being only the bright place. Pero kahit na madilim ay kaya ko pa ring maaninag ang mga suot nilang maskara. Some wore a metallic silver while the others have shiny gold on them. VIP 7 and 4 have gold masks.

"70 million from VIP 7!" I can hear as the emcee cheered. The crowd was in awe and I can see the figures of their head turn to where VIP 7 was.

This man is filthy rich. Siguro'y may-ari ito ng isang kompanya at galing sa mayamang pamilya.

To be willing to spend millions on a woman in an auction means that he must be having a hard time to get the opposite sex attracted to him.

Isa siguro itong matandang mayaman na mahilig sa mga babaeng mas bata sa kanya. Maybe a divorcee with grandchildren around my age. Or a cheating husband in his late fifties. Nevertheless, I must survive this night.

"Item 10 is sold to VIP 7!" The emcee shouted which pulled me out of my train of thoughts.

Dumagungdong ang palakpakan nang mga tao habang nakita kong may isang tao na tumayo sa kanyang kinauupuan.

I was so caught up on recognizing him na hindi ko napansin na may isang babaeng staff na pala ang nasa tabi ko.

"Let's go to your room now." Usal nito at hinawakan ako ng marahan sa braso upang alalayan ako patungo sa supposed room na tutuluyan ko.

I walked down the stage with my head turned to the crowd searching for the one who have just bought me for 88 million solaries.

Alam kong wala akong dapat ikatakot but my heart is thudding loudly inside my ribcage. Dahan-dahang binuksan ng staff ang pinto ng isang kwarto at tumambad sa'kin ang dim-lighted room na puno ng rose petals sa sahig at kama.

"Aaahh...yess"

"Ughh.. you're so beautiful!"

"Ha..d-don't stop...aahh"

Nakarinig ako ng mga ungol mula sa katabing kwarto. There was a loud squeaking sound which I concluded to be the sound of the bed produced by their intense movements. I can't help but to picture a scenario on my head. I recognized the woman's voice, isa siya sa mga kasama kong i-auction kanina at mas naunang mabili sa akin.

Naglakad ako at isinara ang pinto ng unit. I crossed my arms and sighed.

"This night's gonna be rough." I smirked as I turned my back on the door.
