chapter 1: Sold

Naomi's P.O.V

If you're wondering how I ended up chained to a bed, terrified and about to be sold, like cattle - well, let me explain.

I was happy once. or at least, I thought I was. But when my father started drinking, everything changed. He became a monster - abusive, violent, unpredictable. He gambled away our money, took his rage out on me and my mother, and shattered whatever safety we thought we had. And when is debts caught up to him, he made his final betrayal.

he sold me.

...

The who bought me blindfolded me, stripped me down and tied me up in some freezing room. Hours passed, just me, the dark and my own frantic thoughts. 

then - the door opened.

footsteps crossed the floor. heavy. slow. measured.

 " I guess the worthless old man ran out of ideas". a man's voice drawled. "Selling his own daughter?" 

he leaned close enough that i cloud feel the heat of his breath

"You are pretty though, even prettier like this" 

the mattress dipped beside me. a hand skimmed up my leg and groped my thigh.

i flinched, muffled by the tape over my mouth.

"mmm"

he chuckled, amused by my struggling

"you're a feisty "

his body fully encloses me, straddling mine. he pulls my hair back exposing my neck as he descends upon me.

as I squirmed as much as I could, I then hear the door open again

"What the hell are you doing!" a man barked

the weight lifted off me immediately

" Relax. just having a little fun" 

"Are you fucking kidding me!! fun? you could've cost us money" he shot out

"Yeah, but I didn't, did I? no thanks to you" 

their argument faded into the background as rough hands suddenly hooked under me, lifting me like i weighed nothing.

the auction.

were I was being dragged to put on display.

...

bright lights blinded me as my blindfold was ripped away. my pulse thundered in my ears. The heat of the stage making it worse. My palms began to sweat as I hear the auctioneer.

"And here we have is Naomi Stewart. "The auctioneer announced, his voice booming like a death sentence." a twenty-three-year-old. Smooth brown skin, long black hair, brown eyes- and untouched."

 my stomach dropped. How the hell did they know that?

numbers flew across the room, shouted by faceless monsters in the crowd. Each one higher, more vicious

then -

three hundred million.

the room stilled

"Sold" the auctioneer roared, the gravel clacking like a gun shot, making me jump to my senses.

the blindfold went back on. i kicked, screamed, but was dragged away, and thrown to the ground like garbage.

My life was over! 

I was being sold to a complete stranger. great. 

voices murmured nearby - low, threatening, amused.

and then a chair scraped across the floor.

my blind fold was still on but i could feel him. Whoever had bought me. he ripped the tape from my mouth in one brutal motion.

as he sits Infront of me he rips of my mouth tape

"Do you know who I am?" he asked, voice smooth and dangerous

my throat was raw "N-no..."

"Answer me when I'm speaking to you" his sudden roar made me flinch. a hand clamped around mt throat, not squeezing fully, but enough to remind me of my situation

"I - I don't know" I stammered, trembling.

he let go, and I coughed, air burning my lungs. Then he tilted my chin up with just two fingers, his lips brushing my ear.

" You will soon enough" 

a shiver shot down my spine.

before I could speak again, strong arms swept me off the floor. i kicked, protested - but he only laughed, tossing me onto the bed somewhere nearby.

air caught in my lungs. I tried to adjust myself, feeling wide strong hands forcing my thighs apart.

terror clawed at my chest 

he slid his hands over my most intimate part.

"wh-what are you doing"

" Relax" he said softly, too softly. "I don't break my toys on the first day"

he forced two of his fingers in my intimate area, pain so unbearable breath caught in my lungs.

"See sir we wouldn't lie to you. the girl is virgin Mary herself".

the tension disappeared from my body, as he takes his fingers out

"She even tastes better than i thought".

tears flooded my blindfold

"Get her dressed, put her in the car and dose her." he says to the other person in the room

I struggled hard, panic tearing through me - until the sharp sting of a needle made the world dissolve into black.
