~ Now Roger said to me, "I am truly sorry about this but credits are credits." His charming appeal faded and a casual business voice replaced it.
I looked at him helplessly and confused. Indeed, I was terrified. My whole was going numb and my head is spinning. I started to see two Rogers instead of one. I didn't know what was happening to me. Roger must've put some type of drug in my drink. That was the only logical explanation that made sense. I have no idea why he did this to me.
All of a sudden, I heard a door open before it closed somewhere towards the left. Instantly, I heard more voices in the room while my head only spun faster. Yet, I tried getting up but found I could no longer move my body. My heart raced in panic, I wanted to cry but couldn't. I wanted to run but my body lost feeling from this intensifying numbness.
Oh, I was frightened to only hear unfamiliar mumbling male voices. Then I heard what sounded like footsteps coming toward me. Soon I saw these terrifying men studying me. Minus seeing two faces of Rogers. Now I saw what appeared to be ten more faces. Since my vision was doubled by the drug. I comprehended these unfamiliar ten faces were likely only five.
The one-man looked down and grabbed my face and said grinning. "Sabrina did spectacular. This one will do real nice. I'm sure someone will bid high on her."
Another man pulled up a chair directly in front of me. Before I even had a chance to comprehend what was going on. He sat down in the chair and started feeling up my body. I couldn't stop his wandering hands and panted heavily. Above my dress, this man cupped his palms up underneath my bra and pinched his fingertips kneading deeply into my breasts. I yelped but my voice barely murmured out. If anything my voice came out sounding like a low cracky raw pitch. I try to move my arms to get the man off my body. But the unpleasant man didn't care and only grinned lustfully.
"This one is engaged," Roger said watching the man violate my dignity. As my assaulter seductively takes his hands out of my dress.
The man took my hand and studied my ring but said wickedly. "Look at that beautiful ring." He lightly brushes my face with a finger. "Too bad you'll never see your fiance again." His creepy voice sent a chill up my spine. I wanted to slam that lustful grin off his face. Like my old masters, these guys were the predator type too. The type I hated the most. Then it dawned on me that Cory and his men never violated my privacy or body. Suddenly, I found my heart regretting what I'd done. It felt as if my heart was pining for Cory.
All while I stared at my glamorous ring for the man to make his attempt to pull it off my finger. Till he noticed it glued itself tightly around my finger like a tiny serpent.
The living gems didn't recognize this to be Çory's fingerprints so the ring stubbornly didn't budge. This man then looked up and smiled more maliciously.
"What's the problem?" Asked a different man standing nearby him.
The man examining me talked grinning. "She's from the Kingdoms the ring won't come off her finger."
"What! How can that be?" Roger inquired super scared and panicked. "Which ranking?" He frantically babbled questions.
The man checking me said focused on the ring. "From the looks of this ring. I'd say somewhere within the highest ranks. Give me a minute, I need to study the ring better." But then he found my enslavement mark. "She's been enslaved before with the slave mark still branded on her. Probably a Kingdom man bought her and then decided to marry her. Most likely it was a man within the Highest ranks."
Another man standing somewhere nearby, grabbed my chin focusing me to face upwards at him. His menacing eyes stared straight through me for a second. Until he slowly dropped my chin and pulled my hair up enough to find my birthmark. (The mark of the Grand Duchess but neither they nor Sally knew that.)
After studying it because he has never seen anything like it and found it to be odd. "She has a birthmark. Looks like three small diamond-shaped stars in a line. I'd say natural birth." He said not thinking much about it.
They were studying every detail about me but why? I inwardly asked since I couldn't openly speak.
The man seating in the chair. Now had a better look at Sally's engagement ring and said laughing defiantly. "She's a Royal!" Moving his finger around the band. "Look at the ring, there are some cut edges on it. Where another band would attach to this ring. It's also white starlit gold and the cuts on these diamonds are perfectly done. The way the star-shaped diamonds go down the band shows it was expensive work. The Royals and their people of any ranks are known to use white gold or gold band engagement rings. However, this ring has the cut edges only the Royals use because a second band will connect with this one making it a whole set. The rest of the Kingdom people only use one band but Royals have traditions and use two bands. This band was handed to her during their engagement announcement celebration. Cunningly grinning he looked at my dazed face. "She'll go for an extremely high price!"
