Being Reincarnated Was My Biggest Mistake

3| How worse can life get?

Today was Sunday, and Platinum was getting bored at home, She is really fed up with the constant darkness and neon lights combination of this world. But She kinda has get used to it now, though she is dying to see the sun again...

She sighed and scrolled through her phone, that was a virtual hologram type screen, like you see in sci-fi movies.

That's when she heard a loud sound, as the glass of the window to her room got shattered. She jerked up, in shock.
There were two men, dressed in black outfits.

How come they break through the security of our house? She couldn't figure out, as her father was a very rich and secured man. Of course he'd need high security if he does sketchy business.

Before Platinum could process the situation, the grabbed her, and tossed her into their hoverboard type jet, through the broken window. She lost consciousness as she smelled the handkerchief they used to cover her mouth.

The next moment when she wake up, she found herself in a room, dimly lit by yellow colored light. She blinked rapidly to accommodate her eyes according to the environment. She found that her clothes were changed into a plain white shirt, that reached her thighs, whose sleeves were also quite long for her small and petite figure. Her hands were locked with handcuff. What else was there? A collar around her neck, with a metal chained hook. Like the one you use to attach chain to a dog's collar.

She felt utter dread. Where was she? Who were those people? What was gonna happen to her now? Her heart was going thousand beats per second.
After a while, the light in the room increased as the door opened with a creak sound. A woman dressed in a maid outfit, came to her.

"You're called, come with me." She said.
Platinum nervously nodded and went after her, hoping to find, if there is a way to get out of here. Her eyes shut automatically at the intensity of the light. After a moment, when her eyes adjusted to the lights again, she was shocked to find herself on a stage, in a what seemed like an underground auditorium.

Her eyes scanned the area, it was a small, black auditorium, with people, who definitely gave the mafia aura, the building was underground with metal pillar with light focusing on stage, where she was standing.

In the crowd of the people, she found her father. He was there sitting in the front row, with a passive face. What was going on? Then she noticed, that boy from yesterday, was also there beside her on the stage. He was in a black three piece suit resembling like a millionaire businessman.

He glanced at Platinum with a smirk on his face, while she stood there shock, and bewildered with fear. Something very bad is about to happen, no doubt.

He made his way to the mic, and silenced the crowd. And then he said-
"A very good evening to all my minions, or maybe I should be a little respectful, all my mates, gathered here. Today, I your handsome boss, Ace, want to tell you a story." He smiled.

"Yesterday this girl" He said glancing at Platinum. "Poor, little girl, interfered in my business without knowing who I am..." He made a sad face.

"And now look, she's here as my gift" he smiled. Platinum's eyes widened in horror. Is he serious? That can't be! Her father was here, why wasn't he saying something? Doesn't he have a reputation to uphold in public? Can't he do something for her daughter?

Ace continued "Here's the moral of the story, 'know your place, before doing something'. But y'know what's the most interesting part of the story? She is the daughter of my very close comerade!" He pointed the mic to the father, who stiffned under all the gazes.

"My very close comerade, who had taken a debt of over a billion dollars from me" he said his voice venomous. But then he switched to cheery tone.
"So what then? I gave him a deal to give me her daughter as a gift, and in return, I'd let him away from his debt!"

Did she heard him right? She knew her father was a terrible and cruel person. But she never imagined that he'd stoop so low that he literally sell his daughter? Tears began forming in her eyes, that's when she found her voice.

"How can you do this to me? How can you sell your daughter to this man?" She shouted as tears rolled down her cheeks. Even for worse life, being a property? She will practically be as a slave in this era, is too much!
Her father averted her eyes and didn't say a thing. While Ace saw there exchange with amused face.

"Please, don't do this! I know, I'm not your biological daughter, I'm an illegitimate child, but still! Please! I'm begging you!" She cried.

"What do you say Mr. Raynott? Would you cancel our deal for your beloved daughter?"

"Cancelling a deal later, make your partner lose trust in you." Her father said quietly, sweat forming on his forehead, his eyes still averted from his daughter.

"So money is more important for you.." she whispered. Well, she knew it all along, or at least she thought she knew. So she got sold for billion dollar, valuable as her name.. she thought sarcastically.
