Micheal Banes is the man who had it all. The money, the fame, the looks, he had power and even a nine month old daughter who he can't seem to raise. He hired a nanny to take care of her while he's at work and drop her off at his parents when the car...
I sat down in my seat looking at the people talk about stuffs. Then my attention went to Micheal. He was looking at his watch for the last hour. "Now for the man of the night, Mr. Micheal Banes, everyone!!" The spotlight hit him as he got up with a smile as we cheered him on. As he got up on stage he smiled down at us.
"Thank you all for coming here tonight to my charity ball. I would like to thank my committee for doing a wonderful job. I know that everyone in here is successful and happy but sometimes we have to take into consideration the people who are suffering around us in everyday lives. I wanna show people that we aren't self centered as they think we are." People clapped as he was being filmed. He looked at me with a smile.
"I wanna thank the people around me for getting me here tonight, it wasn't easy for me and I know what it's like to be on a budget, I know what it's like to be going to bed hungry but I knew the potential I had and I used it and now I'm here today. It doesn't mean that I won't forget. People didn't see what I could have done but look at where we are tonight!"
People whistled and agreed with him. "So why not give back because one day, they'll be our future so tonight be as generous as you can as we get this auction started." As he walked off stage, people applauded him. I felt so proud right now. Then a woman walked on stage, she looked dramatic if I do say so myself.

"Yes for those who know me I love to be unique." She twirled in her dress earning some chuckles. She was such a beautiful aging woman. She smiled at the crowd. "I would like you all to remember this as my son comes back on stage. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has their secrets. It takes a brave person to come out and take that kind of judgement with his head held high." I was very confused.
Micheal made his way back to the stage with his daughter making everyone gasped in shock. "It's true!" Then the whispers came. I bit my lip, looking around. "Yes I do have a daughter and I just can't bare that people see her as some kind of mistake, well she's not!" He looked at her daughter with so much love in his eyes. "This little girl brought so much happiness to my life and I wouldn't change it for the world. All I ask of you tonight is to accept her as a human and not because she's my child. Her name is Andrea Banes and she's part of my future."
His daughter looked at him with a smile and tried to grab the mic as he spoke causing females to aw. "Okay princess, that's not to eat." He then looked at us. "Well that's all I ask of everyone here. Thank you." People slowly but surely clapped him on. That was so brave of him. He made his way back to his seat next to me with his daughter. "I'm so proud of you." He smiled at then his daughter. "Thanks Monica, I appreciate it."
Andrea looked at me with a big smile. "You remember me?" She stretched her little arms to me. "Can I hold her?" Micheal looked down at her then me. "Sure, why not." I brought her in my arms smiling. "Don't you look gorgeous." Andrea babbled to me like she knew what I was saying. "Your daddy did a good job dressing you." I kissed her cheek making her giggle. "My mom dressed her actually." He explained.
"Alright! Let's get the auction started shall we? When you hear your name please make your way to the backstage." I bounced Andrea as she played with my fingers.
"Ariel Wright"
"Mason Hill."
"Payne Mason"
"Linda Perry."
"Mira East"
The names went on and on but I clearly wasn't paying attention.
"Don't be mad at me, Monica." I looked at him. "Why would I be mad at you?"
"Monica Rhodes." I gaped at him as he took Andrea from me. "You're dead when I get back." All he did was chuckle and waved as I was escorted to the back.
"Last but not least, Jessica Skye."

Micheal Banes
"Last but not least, Jessica Skye." My heart dropped. Before I knew it, my mother was next to me. "Find out who let her in and now." My mother shook her head. "It will look bad! Just calm down now." With that she called dad. "Is that the woman who has my son smiling?" Dad smirked as he sat around the table. "Dad not right now."
Mom clapped her hands. "She is! Plus she's amazing with Andrea already! She may be the one." I sighed, trying not to blush. "Come on let's get the auction thing started already." Then the lights turned colors making Andrea go crazy.
"First up we have the amazing Ariel Wright!" The red head woman walked down the run way with a smile, she had on a fitted green dress that didn't make her look so bad, no ass or breasts. "Let's start at $4,000?" A man raised his hand then a man stood. "$6,000." The first man looked at the other. "20,000." His bidder sat back down. "Sold!! to Mr. Vincent for $20,000, please step and claim your prize."
The middle aged man took her hand as people cheered him on. "Up next we have .." And they went on and on until they got to the woman I hated most. "Okay next is super model Jessica Skye!" She did her model down the runway making me role my eyes. "$80,000!!" An old man called James Orion. "$80,000 going once, going twice..." A another man raised his hand. "100,000." James shook his head. "$200,000!!" He wasn't going down tonight. "$300,000." James turned red. "$600,000."
"It's getting hot in here! Jessica is on a roll." That good for nothing bitch smiled, feeling faltered. I felt her eyes on me but I ignored them. "$100,000,000." James looked at the man and turned to the host. "200,000,000!!" Sebastian didn't bet yet, shocking.
"The highest bid in 6 years! A new record!! Sold to Mr. James Orion." She made her way to him. Fucking bitch. "Now we have a lovely lady that has been working here for a couple of months, Monica Rhodes, everyone!!" I sat up, looking at Sebastian who sat up as well. This dick.
She strut down the runway like she owned it. She was killing it getting every man's attention. "Calm down men!!" Then I felt a cloth on the side of my mouth. "You're drooling dear." Mom smirked making me blush.
"Alright we'll start as 8-" She was cut off by Tony Giovanni, that old fuck. "$3,000,000,000." Everyone gasped. "A new record!! I doubt anyone would want to go high-" Sebastian stood up. "$10,000,000,000." Applauds came from the room. Monica looked shocked herself. "Going once, going twic-" Tony raised his hand. "$20,000,000,000!!" Monica covered her mouth as Tony went to claim her but Sebastian held him back. "Not so fast old man I get what I want, $100,000,000,000." People applauded at this battle.
Jessica looked pissed. "Anyone wishes to go higher?" I looked around and saw no one. "Going once going twice..." I wanted to stand up but I couldn't. "SOLD!!" Sebastian smirked picking her up in his arms making her grab his arms. "It's just one date, Micheal, don't look so pissed." Dad spoke taking a sleeping Andrea from me, she could sleep through anything.
"Please enjoy the rest of the night." I looked at Monica and she looked at me. "You did great Monica, I don't think anyone can beat that record." She chuckled. "I'm glad I could help." She hugged me giving me a kiss on my cheek. "I'm still going to kill you don't worry." She smiled at me as I glanced seeing Jessica looking at us before walking away. "Kill me later."
