Beautiful Obsession

Chapter 3

Kiara

I was told by one of the prostitutes that there was an auction going on here and that soon, the room will be filled with businessmen who will be choosing one of us as their 'sluts'. She said the last part in such a squeaky and happy voice while clapping her hands that I started to freak out.

The once dimly lit room was now filled with a bright light that made my eyes ache. The entire crowd settled down when a man's voice sounded across the room, the same man which made me witness 2 murders and dragged me to watch something so brutal and heart breaking.

I saw a girl standing about two feet away from me. Her huge hazel eyes held so much fear that I just wanted to go over to her and give her a warm hug. She seemed like the only decent girl in this crowd of sluts that reeked of stinking perfume and arousal.

I walked over to her and she gave me a quick glance before stumbling over her feet. I quickly held her and she jumped back in fear.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to give you a hug," I gave her a warm smile and her tensed expression relaxed a bit and she forced a smile in return.

I stood right next to her and I just wanted to hug her so much and tell her that everything will be okay even though I don't know what the hell is going on in my life right now. I slowly hugged her and at first, she was shocked and she slowly hugged me back but what actually surprised me was when she let out a painful whimper.

I quickly let go and looked at her eyes watering. "W-what happened?" I asked, guilt consuming me even though I didn't know what caused her pain.

"M-my back," she shivered and I slowly turned her around. When she lifted her shirt, my eyes widened in horror and my hatred towards the people that did this was so much.

Her skin had fresh wounds, she had about seven slashes on her back and the skin around the open cuts seemed to soft, like wet tissue which was probably caused by the hot water.

"You were one of the girls outside?" I asked, my voice came out as a shocked whisper. When she nodded her head, my eyes started to tear. She seemed much younger than me-

"How old are you?" I asked and she hesitated before replying.

"S-seventeen," she sobbed and a lone tear left my eye. She was two years younger than me and she had to go through this. I was left speechless and I didn't even know how to comfort her. She suddenly jumped up in shock when the two large doors opened and men started flooding the room.

After a few minutes, the room was half empty and the ones remaining were me, the decent girl and a handful of others that seemed disappointed and they started complaining.

The girls mouths snapped shut when a man entered the room. I looked at him and I had to bite my lip to prevent myself from gasping at his beauty. He was so handsome yet he had this dark aura which made him all the more hot. His lips were set into a straight line, his sharp jaw was clenched and when our eyes met, he was staring at my... lips. I quickly detached my lips from my teeth and looked down.

I looked up and my eyes widened when I saw him walking towards me, every step of his held pride and power, his head was held high and I nearly snorted when I noticed how his three piece suit screamed money. Such a typical rich brat. He seemed to be in his early twenties but his body was one of a grown 30 year old.

He stopped two feet in front of me and I looked up at his body which was towering over my small frame. His eyes roamed my body and his brown eyes nearly turned black with an emotion that he didn't even try to hide... lust.

I hated the way he looked at my body, every time his eyes swept over me, I felt more humiliated and exposed although I was wearing some clothes. "I'll take her and the little girl next to her," his voice held so much power and authority.

The girl next to me was visibly shaking now. I held her hand in a way to comfort her and she relaxed a little bit but she was still shaking. Oh lord what if she was having a mild panick attack?

"Yes, Mister Gonzalez. Please come over here to make the payment," a voice said from the other side of the room. The man walked over there and I heard a little thud next to me.

I looked down to find the girl on her knees, struggling to breathe. I gasped and quickly sat on my knees as I rubbed her shoulders and chest, trying to get her to breathe. Her eyes started watering and I became more panicked. I shot up and turned to the only people left in the room, which was the handsome guy, the man that brought me here and the guy that was helping with the 'payments'.

"Someone, please help. She can't breathe," I panicked and the handsome guy just ignored me, his back still facing me. I hated to be ignored, especially now that someone was probably about to die.

"Can someone please help!?" I yelled, frustrated and that got at least one head to turn which was the handsome guy. He just looked between me and the girl then his back was towards me again. This infuriated me and I walked over to him and roughly pulled his shoulder so he was facing me. He was much taller and intimidating than me so I was a little frightened at first but then I thought of the girl's life and his stupid arrogance and I got back to angry mode.

"Can you not see, that girl over there is hyperventilating? She can't breathe, can you stop feeling too much for your prideful butt and help her with at least a glass of water? I'm sure showing some humanity won't kill you," the last part irritated him but he sucked in a breath, as if to control himself from bursting then he looked at the guard who was staring at me, amused.

"Danut, go get the girl some water," he said and returned to whatever he was doing with the other dude. I stood there, watching between the girl and the door waiting for Danut to return with some water. When his mere shadow appeared by the door, I ran towards him and grabbed the bottle of water and quickly went to the girl.

Her whole tiny body was on the floor and she was shaking. I first threw some water over her face and then put her head up. After a few gulps and splashes on her face, she sucked in a deep breath and sat up. I rubbed her shoulders soothingly and once she regained her composure, I stood up only to bump into a hard chest.

I looked up to find the man glowering down at me and he suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. I protested but his grip was too tight and I didn't want to pull my arm out of its socket. I heard a muffled cry and saw the girl being carried bridal style behind me and her mouth was cupped with Danut's hand.

"She has been whipped on her back, you causing pain for her!" I yelled at him and he stopped mid way, and quickly threw over his shoulder. We carried on screaming while being man handled by two extra large men.

We were yanked in the back of a black SUV and the car drove off.
