"Under the rain, the beauty was found."The man walked closer to where Mia was and bent down to her height.
Then he removed the piece of cloth in her mouth."Wow, I thought the picture was just editing, but you are even more beautiful in real life than in a photo," he chuckled excitedly, running his hands across her cheek.
Shrieking away from his touch, Mia requested frightfully, "Wh-h-hat do you want from me? Why… Do you keep me here? Let me go."
"Oh I'm sorry my beauty, but I can't let you go so easily. You see I have too much to lose to just 'Let… you… go..."
"I'm sure someone must have paid you to bring me here. Just let me go. I-i-i will pay you an amount even bigger than what that person gave you," she pleaded.
The man laughed at her ridiculous pleas, "You want to pay me a higher amount. Well then, let me tell you how much I was paid… 2,000,000 dollars!"
Looking at her shocked face after hearing the amount, he chuckled, "Now will you make it bigger or….?" He swept a perverted gaze at her body and laughed again.
Mia couldn't believe that someone would do something so wicked. Well, of course there was someone, her stepsister, and mother might have been the ones who sold her to the black market.

In the Graceland French restaurant.Two gentlemen were seated opposite one another."Isabella wants a mother!" Eden said, relaxing his back on his chair.
"Tell me something I don't know," Ken, his friend, responded, not surprised by the little girl's request for a mother. It was high time his friend considered getting her one.
"Ken, I intend to get a mother for Isabella."
A little surprised, Ken said, "What?! Well, that's nice, but that also means you are going to get yourself a wife right?"
Eden nodded, "Yes!""In that case, Aunt will be pleased to have a daughter-in-law,"
Contemplating for a while, Ken narrowed his eyes at Eden, "Wait…. don't tell me you have already found yourself a wife?"
"No I haven't, that's why I called you here because I need your help."Eden said seriously.
"Oh I see! So… what do you need my help for?" Ken inquired.
"I need the perfect mother for my Isabella before Mother's Day. I need someone who will love her as if she were her own daughter," Eden revealed his major concerns.
"Well, you can't find a wife like that on such short notice," Ken stated.
"That's why I need your help!" Eden sighed.
Ken gave another discouraging remark, "Well, you totally can't find a wife in this city because all the girls here will only be chasing after your money. No one will care about Isabella at all."
Placing a hand underneath his chin, Eden asked, "So what are you suggesting?"
"I'm suggesting you get your future wife on the black market."
"What?!!
"Wait…. Wait! I know what you are thinking, but before you say anything let me finish. Black-market girls are always obedient and good because they will forever be thankful to whoever or whatsoever got them out of that hell. Even if it's for pleasure… or taking care of your daughter."
"…"
"And anyway, I heard some new girls that just came in this week will be sold tonight. They will still be feeling scared and sad. But when you come and buy them, not those stinky men, they will be grateful, and will happily take care of your daughter for you."
Staring into thin air, Eden contemplated for a while. He had never thought of these but it just might work.
**********
The hour of the night had come when different businessmen would bid for girls on the black market.
Some had already taken their seats ready for the show, amongst them was Eden. He had decided to follow his friends words and look for a wife in the black market.
A few minutes after all the chairs were filled, a lady came in to give a little performance.
She danced to the excitement of most of the men seated.
Finally the time for the auctions began, the host came onstage with a mic to greet the guests, their prospective buyers."Welcome wonderful guests to the black sale of the week. Today we have a beautiful… seductive… And please keep in mind virgins here for you today to satisfy all your needs, whether in bed or at home. Now tell me my fellow guest, are you all ready?"
the host voice resounded from the mick."Yes… we are ready!" the crowd roared with excited cheers.
"Well, in that case, I won't waste much of your time. Bring the first sale onstage, boys!"
**********
After all the sales, it was finally time for Mia to come onstage. Hers was the closing sale for the day.
"Now we have reached the last sale of the day, my fellow gentlemen, please Meet Mia, she is new, beautiful, tall, sexy, and a pure virgin. The perfect girl for you!" the host announced.
The men gasped in awe at her beauty. It was true that Mia was really a beauty. Even more so when she dressed up.
She was clothed in a long sexy red gown, which made her waist, shoulder, and thigh visible for them to ogle at.
Her fair-white skin, beautiful long brown curly hair that cascaded down her shoulders and a perfectly shaped round face that had a pair of soulful blue sky eyes with full luscious lips mesmerised them all, including Eden.
"I can see you all standing for her, then let's get to business. Starting price is at 10,000!"
"20,000!"
"50,000!"
"100, 000!"
"200, 000!"
Mia was at a loss of words as she watched them shout out countless prices for her, like they were buying lollipop.
However, she could do nothing but watch the bid go on.
"500,000!"
"600,000!"
"800,000!"
"1,000,000!"
At the high price of one million with no other voice heard again, the host wanted to call it the end, "One million! Going once! Going twice! Then one million it I…."
Before the host could finish his words, he heard something very shocking that rendered him speechless. His mick even dropped to the floor.
"50,000,000!"
Everyone gasped in shock wondering who would buy a slave for fifty Million. Even Mia was in shock.
She knew well that she wasn't worth 50,000,000!Regaining himself, the host picked up his mick and continued the show, "F-fifty million! Going once... Going twice! Fifty Million it is. Sold!" He banged the hammer down.
That was it, all it took for Mia to be sold to the mysterious man, who bought her at a hefty amount of fifty million.
Her mind was in a dismayed state.She didn't know who he was or what he wanted from her. All she knew was that she was bought for an expensive price and there was nothing she could do about it.
Sent away from the stage, Mia's heart was throbbing faster than it had ever drummed before.
Following the instructions of a staff, she changed her dress and followed the staff out towards what seemed like the VIP parking lot.
As only a black car was parked there. She suspected that it was the car owned by the man who just bought her.
In front of the car window, Mia saw a reflection of someone. She turned around, and her eyes landed on the charming Eden Parker.
