I found myself in a room with luxurious decor. I could read the writing on the door; the VVIP sign indicated the importance of the room's occupant. It was certain that the owner of this room was the man who had spent fifty million to buying me.
I saw a comfortable sofa without anyone on it. Beside it was a small table with a cigar emitting smoke, suggesting that someone had just used it. But as my gaze wandered, there wasn't a single person in sight.
Yes, after the tense auction, I was now in a strange room belonging to that man. Earlier, Mr. Bryan had dragged me down from the stage and taken me away. Where was he taking me this time? No one knew.
After such a large amount was decided as the final price, Mr. Bryan looked like he had won a lottery ticket. He kept pushing me from behind to walk faster to some place.
We walked down a long corridor, with doors on each side labeled VVIP. Was this place a hotel or perhaps a hidden lodge? Mr. Bryan did not say anything after we left the auction site.
As I walked, Mr. Bryan spoke from behind me, seemingly informing me about who had paid for my body.
"You should be proud, Olivia. The person who bought you is Mr. K. He is a wealthy man and a VVIP guest today. What I know is that Mr. K always treats women well," Mr. Bryan told me.
I never thought of being proud of all this. Especially since the person who bought me was not someone I loved. I had promised myself to give this body to the man of my choice. What Mr. Bryan said he would not change my principles.
"Sir, didn't he pay more? Don't I get a single penny?" I asked, trying to confirm Mr. Bryan' answer was about fifty million.
"Never ask about my money! Your father's debt plus the interest is very much. Not to mention that while you were with me, I had to provide you with food and those clothes aren't cheap. Fortunately, Mr. K paid more, so I get compensated for all that."
Mr. Bryan' explanation was truly annoying, confirming the saying that moneylenders have no mercy and no regard for amounts. They will not give any extra they get but will always ask for more.
For a moment, my body felt weak hearing this. But what could I do now? Nothing.
As soon as my steps reached the door with the VVIP sign, Mr. Bryan immediately pushed me in. For a few seconds, my eyes were captivated by the ornaments and all the luxury in the room.
"Sit down!" Mr. Bryan said, startling me and making me sit on the sofa.
I saw Mr. Bryan's eyes wandered as if searching for someone. Sure enough, as his smile formed, a man walked from the interior towards us.
Is that Mr. K? I thought, looking at him from head to toe.
I could see clearly, his face was indeed handsome. Unfortunately, a mask covered half his face—the area from the eyes to the nose. Even so, it didn't hide his authoritative and commanding aura. His tall body suggested he had strong muscles beneath his suit.
I heard Mr. Bryan praised him, like trying to flatter the wealthy man.
"Mr. K, I am very grateful to you. I assure you will not regret buying this girl. In fact, I guarantee her smooth skin, even—" Mr. Bryan stopped talking like Mr. K placed his finger in front of his lips.
Mr. K then dismissed Mr. Bryan with a wave of his hand. Just like that, Mr. Bryan immediately bowed and left. For the first time, I saw Mr. Bryan seemed powerless to argue.
Before completely disappearing behind the door, Mr. Bryan still managed to glance at me, giving a mocking look. Yes, he was very happy to get his money and let me go to the stranger in that room.
After Mr. Bryan left, it was just the two of us in the room—yes, me and Mr. K. At this moment, the man was looking at me sharply. For some reason, my body felt frozen under his gaze. My legs weakened, as if they had no strength to move.
Suddenly, the man moved to grab his cigar and took a puff. Only then did I realize his body looked large, sturdy, and firm. I would not be able to fight back if I tried to escape now. That's why my fear grew. My heart, which had been beating steadily, now raced again.
After exhaling smoke, I heard Mr. K spoke with a baritone voice that made my skin crawl.
"You look like a kitten," he said, moving his hand, "Come here," he then called.
He wanted me to come closer, but my fear was too great for the distance he desired. I tried to move as he wished. However, my body fell, and I prostrated at his feet. My legs felt so weak; I couldn't even rise, let alone move. This situation was very intimidating for me; how did he do it?
"Mr. K, I beg you. I will do anything. Whatever you want, I will do it. I just want to be free, Mr. K." I finally expressed my desire.
Without looking at him, I continued to prostrate, hoping he would grant my wish.
Unlike what I imagined, the man touched me, helping me to stand from that position. Our eyes met; I couldn't avoid it when a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting." I didn't know what he meant, but that word confused me.
Mr. K pulled me closer to his body. At this moment, I could even smell his intoxicating scent. Yes, he had a sharp, alluring aroma. Unfortunately, I wouldn't fall into the category of women easily influenced by body scent.
I saw him lean in, then whisper directly into my ear, "You are already mine; of course, you will do whatever I say."
His words pressured me, as if something bad was about to happen. Sure enough, from his current position, I felt a kiss directly on my slender neck. My eyes widened; no one had ever done that before. It felt so ticklish, I now felt dirty. What he did made me look like a common cheap woman.
I couldn't speak or resist. I was sure that one rebellious move would bring something bad upon me. Fear, of course.
My feelings were mixed, and thoughts of ending my life even crossed my mind. I was sure the man wouldn't stop there. This time the neck, in a few seconds or minutes, I didn't know what he could do to me.
After kissing my neck, he wiped his lips and smiled faintly. A smile with many meanings, making me more entangled in fear of something.
He wiped his lips while saying, "I have been looking for you for a long time."
What did he mean? Why had he been looking for me for so long?
