I stood frozen like a deer in headlights watching all of the people study me.

"Gabriela Anders is 22 years old. She is 5'7 and has brown hair and eyes. Her blood type is -AB. The bidding will start at 2,500 dollars."

I watched as I saw people raising their hand. It went by so fast. I'd get a glimpse of a woman her hand before I saw an elderly man raise his. I swear the speed of it all almost gave me whiplash. I was trying so hard to keep up that I didn't even realize that the bid was already at 10,000 dollars.

I was wondered why the hell anyone would want to pay that much money for me. I'm nothing special. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw the silhouette of a man stand up and I heard him say,

"50,000 dollars"

My mouth dropped to the floor as I was completely bewildered by this unknown man. No one else seemed to share my thoughts because the auctioner kept going.

"50,000 going once...going twice...sold to the gentlman in the back."

Everyone quietly clapped, and the curtains closed. Almost immediately I was rushed off of the stage and brought outside of the auction house while I stood outside with a guard.

The wind blew, and a shiver went all over my entire body. I thought that they were a bunch of inconsiderate assholes for making me stand in the cold at night with barely anything on. I clenched my teeth together and wrapped my arms around me as another breeze came by.

We waited outside for about 5 minutes when I saw a black BMW pull up at the curb. I tried to make out the image of who was inside but the windows were tinted black. Soon after the car pulled up, a woman dressed in a pant suit got out of the driver's seat went around the car and opened up the backseat door.

I hesitated before stepping towards the vehicle. Before I got in, the driver gave me a reassuring smile. I stepped into the car and praised the lord that the heat was on. I let out a sigh of relief and rubbed my arms trying to warm myself up.

I jumped when I heard someone clear their throat. I couldn't put my finger on it; he looked really familiar almost as if I just- OH MY GOD! He's that hot guy from the dollar tree. My heart started pound a thousand miles per hour, and I felt as if I could hear it in my ears. I realized I was staring at him like a maniac and looked at my feet.

The car ride was silent. My mind was racing the entire time. Was he stalking me? Why exactly did he pick me? Is he as dangerous as that woman said he was? That last question seemed to loop in my head, and I was so distracted by it that I didn't even notice the car pull to a stop. I watched as the mystery man got out of the car and walked over to my side to open the door.

I had my arms wrapped around myself when I got out mainly because I didn't want to expose my tits to him and also because it was extremely cold. We walked up the cobblestone driveway in silence until another breeze came by. I visibly shivered and my teeth started to chatter.

I heard a sigh of annoyance to my left, and I looked over and saw him taking off his jacket. Underneath his button down, I saw his muscular arms. He handed the jacket to me without saying a word or even looking at me.

"Thank you." I replied nervously as I put the jacket on. He didn't reply he just gave me a stiff nod before continuing to walk. It made me awkward that he hadn't even replied, but I just kept walking pretending that I wasn't offended.

The driver had opened the front door for us, and then we were completely alone. I studied his handsome face as he took out his phone and delivered a text to someone. Even under the illuminated light of his phone he still managed to look amazing.  I felt the urge to reach out and play with one of his curls.

"Tanya will take you to your room in a moment." he said. His voice was exactly as I had expected it to be. Deep and raspy. I gave him a nod and with that he left me alone and probably went to his room. Once again I felt like my feelings had been hurt. He couldn't even of had the decency to take me to my room himself.

It wasn't before long when Tanya had come to collect me. She seemed to be in her mid 30's, and looked as if she had just woken up because she was wearing sweatpants and a tank top with her strawberry blonde hair in a messy ponytail. She was very talkative. On the way to my room Tanya had managed to talk about her husband, two kids, and her celebrity crush. I was just glad that there would be a friendly person here that I could speak to.

She stood in front of the doorway with a look a mischief on her face. Like as if she knew something that I didn't.

"Are you ready to see your room?" she smiled at me before opening the door. It was absolutely beautiful. The walls were a soft cream color with gold accents. The color scheme was soft pinks and creams. There was a baby pink chandelier in the middle of the room. The king size bed was along the far wall and was covered with silk blanket and huge pillows.

I was completely speechless. Tanya chuckled at my bewildered face and said,
"Well I'm sure you want to get some sleep. The closet is already filled with clothes, and you a have personal bathroom to your right. Goodnight."

I sighed in relief that I was alone. I walked over to the closet and picked out silk blue pajamas. I haven't even bothered taking off my makeup or brushing out my hair. I just wanted this horrible day to end. After changing, I climbed into bed and went to bed almost instantly.
