Her eyes were bowed the whole time,
but when she lifted them to have a
quick look, they ran into the Master - Master Khalid.
Octavia quickly bent her head again,
fear and shame taking over her completely.
She didnt want to look at any one, not
even the master.
Her sister's words rang in her head:
"On no occasion must you disobey him.
If you do anything wrong, Master Khalid
would kill you".
She needed to do this; needed to get
through this - no matter what.
"And it's time for the bid..." The boy on stage commenced.
"Who goes first?"
He turned to look at Octavia and the
rest of the girls on stage.
"Let's go with the blonde one. Highest
bidder..."
Octavia listened as the men started
dragging the bid, acting like they were
pricing a commodity.
Her breath became unleveled as
conniption gripped her. She can do this,
she kept assuring herself.
Soon, the bid for the first lady was over
and the lady walked down the stage,
going to meet the winner - her Master
for the night.
Octavia knew instantly she was the next.
But still, she tried not to look at anyone.
"And....here we go - the se*y looking
lady", the boy smirked and shot Octavia
a back glance.
"So, what's it gonna be? Who gets
her??"
"I want the blue eyes" a man sniggered
from the crowd.
"500 dollars".
"Ahh! That's quite much. Anyone else..."
"800 dollars" another said and a gasp
from the ladies arouse.
"1 thousand dollars..." Said another.
"2 thousand dollars.."
"2,500.."
Octavia was almost whimpering as she
heard the men struggle for her. And her
heart skipped when she heard someone
say
"50,000 dollars".
What the..hell?????
At first, the hall went dead silence as
eyes searched for the owner of the
voice.
Then, they found him Master Klaus.
Octavia also found him and tears
pricked her eyes when she found how
huge he was. He was so huge and looked like he was going to kill her.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!! Obviously, we have
a winner" the guy on the stage said, and
an applaud began.
That was a huge sum of money to
Khalid's account.
"Congrats, Master Klaus. You deserve
her"
The hall became a little bit noisy as they
talked about and Octavia didn't need
anyone to tell her to go to him.
She gulped nervously as she climbed
down the stage, taking steady steps
towards him and she was so grateful
she didn't trip along the way.
She finally got to where he was and his cold face had a smirk on it.
"She's pretty", one of his boys beside him whispered and the Master nodded
in satisfaction.
She was worth the money. All eyes were
still rotating around her.
"What's your name?" He asked when
Octavia stood very close to him.
Normally, she'd have snobbed him
cause she doesn't reply strangers. But
considering the circumstances she was
in, she had no choice.
"Octavia", she replied, sounding like she
had a lump in her throat.
"Hmm", he nodded agreeably.
Everything about her semeed nice.
The bid had already continued with the rest of the girls on the stage. So, lesser attention was being paid to Octavia and she was thankful for it.
"Come on, then. Let's get straight to
business", the Master said and started
walking away and for a second, Octavia
thought of running away.
Yeah, it was only for a second because
the next second, she was dragging her
legs behind him.
She glanced at her sister's table as they
walked pass, but Mica wasn't looking at
her. She didn't want to.
She followed the man out of the noisy
hall and came out to a hallway and with each step they took, Octavia's fears increased, knowing they were getting closer to the room.
She tried as much as possible to
prevent herself from whimpering and
finally, they got to the room.
Master Klaus opened the door and
walked in and Octavia slowly did same.
It looked just like an hotel room,
designed for the purpose.
The door went shut as Octavia walked in
and looked at the room.
"You should start undressing" Klaus
said as he started unbuttoning his shirt.
He took off his tie, the shirt, then turned
around to see if Octavia was done. But to his surprise, he found her still clothed - just like she was.
He arched his brows at her.
"And why are you still in your clothes?"
He scoffed, but she kept her head
bowed, unable to move.
"I'm talking to you! Why aren't you
undressed?? Are you trying to play
games with me?" He growled, and
slowly, she looked at him.
"I'm sorry" she whimpered and turned
around, headed for the door.
The hell, she didn't know what she was
doing. She wasn't thinking straight.
She was about turning the knob when
Master Klaus gripped her hair from
behind.
"And what the f**k do you think you're
doing??" He growled and she winced at how painful it was.
He pulled her back by the hair and took
her to the bed, pushing her roughly.
She whimpered as she fell on the bed,
her hair over her face.
"Please..." She whimpered, crawling into
the bed.
"I'm not ready..".
Klaus huffed and climbed up the big
bed. He held her legs and pulled them
roughly so her back touches the bed.
"Do you think I'm stupid by participating
in the bid? How dare you come here
when you're not ready??" He snarled into her face and dived his hand into her dress.
"No...!" Octavia winced and tried fighting him off, but couldn't.
She needed to stop him.
Although, she knew she'd agreed to this
and had no reason to stop him, her
sister's instructions kept replaying in her
head, but she couldn't heed to any of
them. She wasn't thinking straight.
When the man suddenly touched her
panties, she let out a shriek and a
heavy wind came howling at him.
They took him from the bed and landed
him in a rough way, so rough, he broke
a table during the crash. He also
bounced on the wall and by the time he
finally landed on the floor, he was unconscious and had blood gushing from
his head.
Panic filled Octavia's eyes as she stared at him - lying still on the floor.
And at that moment, she knew she had
just made one of the biggest mistakes
of her life.
