Illegal Temptation

Chapter-2

Walking inside he saw the bunch of rich man's in the counter. It looked like an auction as everyone was yelling the amount. He looked at them confused but bought his attention back to the hazel eyed beauty. Not able to find her. He went to a lady who was trying to grab her attention.

"The girl that performed right now? Where is she. I want to meet her" he asked sharply not beating around the bushes.

"Who? Ohhhh Ruhi *chuckle* vo bhid dekh rhe hai (you see that crowd) they are here to pay for the night with her" she laughed as she told him.

"Pay for the night" his eyebrows wrinkled as he asked.

"Today is the day of month. She is not sold every night. It's just once a month. After today she will not be seen for weeks until she heals" she told him.

"Heal? What does that mean" he was growing impatient now.

"Are you new here or what sir? Well she is the 'Ice Princess' of our brothel. Mens throw money to buy a night with her. She is not sold every night. Just once. Because even that once is deathly for her." She spoke. It added more to his confusion.

"Listen here girl. Tell me everything fast. Don't beat around the bushes" he spoke darkly. His voice held warning.

She gulped. "Ruhi will be sold to the cruelest man tonight. Everyman over there is a sadistic. They have their ways with her and every time they are done. She ends up into hospital. Today is one of the day. After today she will not be seen until next month. No one comes between them even if she is barely breathing. Poor girl last time she was not even recovered and still pushed into it again." She gave him the information almost everyone knew.

"Why don't anyone interfere" he raised his question.

"Sir this is her punishment. She committed a crime once and since then she is punished like this. None of us go through this. It's just Ruhi. Our maalik punishes her. If she is able to breathe after everything she is beaten up badly to not make that mistake again" the girl told as shiver ran down her spine. She pitied Ruhi.

"Doesn't she protest" he spoke.

"They have not left her in a condition to protest. We call her ice princess because even after so much brutal abuse. She haven't spoke a word.  It's been four years. Even after every beating or cruelty no one has heard even a scream from her. It's like she has turned numb to all these" she told him.

"Is there no way out" he asked. He himself was surprised how he was taking so much interest in that girl.  Ruhi.

"No, she is bound to this brothel after that mistake." She said.

"What mistake" he again asked.

"That--" the girl was speaking when she was cut off by one of her friend. She has urged her to come out as the auction was coming to an end. They wanted to see who bought her today.

He walked in long strides as he neared the place.

"Ten lakh"
"Twenty lakh"
"Fifty lakh"
"Seventy lakh"

"Seventy lakh one ! Two! Th-"

"Fifty million" a very deep voice penetrated the hall. Everyone's head snapped towards the voice. Seeing him every one backed away. They knew who he was. It was better to back away if they loved their life.

"Fifty million one! Two! Three!

SOLD" the mc shouted.

After sometimes he saw a woman in her sixties making her way towards him.

"Namaste sahab, apne toh bhut badi dav kheli hai" ( Greetings sir, you have played a big bait) she said seductively.

He ignored her.
