Becka's POV

The same man from earlier led us out of the dark room, had our chains removed and gave strict orders to a few woman to help us get ready.

Jessica and I parted ways.

_______________

30 minutes later I looked like a super model. I was wearing a purple dress, its almost sweeping the floor, it has a huge black waist band and white heels.

I was wearing light makeup and my hair was lightly curled.

Seconds later the man from earlier came in, grabbed me by my arm pulling out of the room.

"Wait here." He said as he walked off.

Suddenly, lights flooded the room and i found myself on a stage.

"The last item of the night is Becka the Beauty. Bid starts at a $100 thousand." A man said.

My breathing got heavier as I heard all the bids rising. I looked in the front row and saw an old man smiling at me which made my skin crawl and honestly I felt like throwing up.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard,

"Two million!" Someone in the last row at the back said.

My heart beats were getting really loud. The lights dimmed and I was taken off stage and into what appears to be a waiting room, it was dimly lit with candles but bright enough.

I closed my eyes and tried to process everything that has happened to me over the past few hours.

"Becka?" Someone said, turning around quickly a small gasp escaped my lips as I stared at the guy in front of me.

He looks to be a year older than me. His white button down shirt hugged his muscles perfectly, a star tattoo on the side of his neck and those crystal blue eyes stared at me.

This man is so .....

I blinked a few times and bowed my head trying to calm my racing heartbeat.

The man sighed, then said, " Drink this."

He handed me a glass of water, I took a step back but he took one forward and looked at me.

"Please, you will start to throw up any time soon, drink this and will help to make you feel better." He said.

I found my hands moving on their on taking the glass and bringing it up to my lips. I took a long big sip and soon felt my eyes getting a little heavy.

The glass disappeared from my hand and then strong arms lifted me.

"P-put me down, I can walk." I stuttered.

"No I'll carry you, you need to rest and its been a long night, that's why I gave you the glass of water." He said as I found my self cuddling up in his arms as cold air hit my skin.

Eric's POV

I placed Becka in the back seat of my car and fastened the seat belt around her.

I took a quick glance at her and even in that dress she's wearing she still looks beautiful.

Quickly shrugging off my jacket I placed it over her until I reached home, well our home.

Locking her side of the door, I climbed in up front behind the steering wheel and started the car and drove off.

Glancing at the clock it was already 1 in the morning, I can't believe that I stayed up all night.

Taking my phone out of my pocket, I looked for Isaac's number and pressed the call button.

* ring ring*

The phone rang while I skillfully inserted the earphone in my ear. The phone rang a couple more times before he answered,

"Hello?"

"Hey, man sorry to bother you but please take over my meetings today, I won't be coming in today." I said as I came up to a stop light.

"Good morning to you too man, if you don't mind me asking why won't you be at work today, after all you're my boss?" Issac asked.

"Sorry to wake you up buddy but I have an emergency." I replied as I glanced in the rear view mirror at Becka sleeping then stared back at the road.

"OK man, good night." He said.

"Good night ." I said before hanging up.

Taking out the ear phones and placed them on the passenger seat. Finally I pulled up in the drive way of my mansion and parked right in front of my fountain.

I got out the car, went over to Becka's side, unbuckled her seatbelt and lifted her up in my arms.

I locked the car and walked up the steps, unlocked the front door went in and locked it behind me.

I walked up the stairs to my bedroom still carrying the sleeping Becka. Pushing the double doors of my bed room open, walking over to my king sized bed, I gently placed Becka down.

When I was pulling back, I realized that she had a tight grip on the collar of my shirt.

Soon I found myself staring at her and a smile slowly tugged at the corner of my lips.

Using my hand I gently pried her hand off then kissed the back of her hand.
However, before I left I made sure to take off the heels she's wearing.

I went downstairs into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of wine. I sat down on the couch just as Hannah the house maid came in.

She's old, she's been there for me ever since my mom died after giving birth to me.

"Rough day?" She asked.

"No, just tired." I replied.
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" I asked.

"Oh, I came to get a glass if water and you yourself should be the one who's resting. Chop, chop off to bed Eric." She said making me chuckle.

Even after all the years that she spent with me and my father, even up till the day my father died a few years back, she's still the same old Hannah that I admire.

If it wasn't for her and dad I wouldn't be the person I am today. I am the owner of Slade's Industries, my full name is Eric Anthony Slade.

I have companies in three different states. And this year, well by the end I'm hoping to have one to set up in both India and China.

"Goodnight Hannah." I said giving her a hug and went straight to one of the guest rooms.
