Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

“Ten thousand dollars.”

“Twenty thousand dollars.”

“Fifty thousand dollars.”

“One hundred thousand dollars.”

The shouts of lecherous men filled the grand auction hall in a city famously known as ‘Sin City.’ A city notorious for its sins, yet unfortunately, it’s everyone’s favorite.

Dim lighting created an alluring atmosphere as guests entered the lavish auction hall. Everyone was required to wear masks. The only spotlight allowed was on the stage where—a beautiful girl stood as the object of the lecherous men’s bidding.

The girl was stunning. She wore a gold dress so sexy that her bra and underwear were almost visible. It was almost as if she were naked. She stood inside a golden cage, her hands bound in handcuffs, her eyes tightly covered with a black cloth.

Her face was pale, her lips trembling with fear. The room was freezing from the powerful central air conditioning. Yet, despite the cold, sweat trickled down her forehead—surely from sheer terror.

Standing as a spectacle for these men made her courage falter. The black cloth over her eyes was soaked, drenched by the tears that wouldn’t stop flowing. Her wrists were red from struggling as she was forced into the golden cage.

“Yes, the highest bid stands at one hundred thousand dollars. Who dares to go higher? I guarantee, the buyer will not be disappointed,” the host announced with a sly smile.

“One hundred fifty thousand dollars.” A handsome middle-aged man raised the bid. Though no longer young, he cut a dashing figure. His aura of handsomeness stood out.

Everyone in the room was awed by this man, daring to bid the highest. The host smiled slyly as the price climbed.

“Ah, I forgot to mention. The girl in the golden cage is still a virgin. I assure you, you’ll be satisfied,” the host added.

The men grinned wickedly upon hearing that the girl in the golden cage was a virgin. Their hungry eyes had been fixed on her flawless beauty all along. Her milky white skin, flawless under the spotlight, made her look like a goddess. No one could resist her allure.

“Two hundred thousand dollars.” The middle-aged man upped his offer, determined to claim her. His eyes were filled with lust as he stared at Luna’s breathtaking beauty.

Luna—the beautiful girl—trembled even more as she heard her virginity being bid on for such an outrageous sum. Blindfolded, she could only guess what her buyer looked like from his voice.

Tears streamed down Luna’s face again. She never wanted this! She never wanted to sell herself. Luna never wanted to be a prostitute surrounded by lecherous men.

Circumstances had forced her into this cursed place. She wanted to run, to escape this cursed event. But Luna had no strength or courage left. She was too weak.

“Wow! Two hundred thousand dollars! Anyone willing to go higher than that?” The host’s voice echoed through the silent hall.

Silence… No sound came from the grand auction hall. It was clear no one could top the bid from the middle-aged man.

Luna grew even more terrified! With her hands cuffed and eyes covered, she felt as if she wanted to die. She had been uncomfortable in her outfit from the start. Sadly, there was no way out. All she could do was surrender to her fate.

“Alright, it seems the highest bid is two hundred thousand dollars. To confirm, I’ll count down. Three… two… on—”

“One million dollars.” A tall, imposing man in a black mask stepped into the room. His handsome presence instantly drew all eyes.

Everyone was stunned. One million dollars for a virgin? Two hundred thousand was already outrageous, but someone dared to bid five times that amount.

The host was shocked. “A new bid! One million dollars. Anyone willing to go higher?”

The middle-aged man couldn’t accept being outbid. “One million five hundred thousand!”

“Two million dollars!” The tall, handsome man said coolly, as if money were just leaves easily gathered.

“You—” The middle-aged man was provoked. But he couldn’t start a fight here—security would drag him out if he did.

“Two million five hundred!” The middle-aged man increased his bid, determined to claim Luna.

The handsome man just smirked arrogantly as someone tried to top him. “Three million dollars,” he said without hesitation.

Luna was shocked to hear her price reach three million dollars. Was she really worth that much? The astronomical price sent shivers down her spine. What kind of man could afford her at such a price?

“How dare you!” The middle-aged man exploded with rage. He slammed the table, unable to control his anger any longer.

He lunged forward, ready to throw a punch at the handsome man who had outbid him. But before his fist could connect, security guards grabbed him.

“Don’t you dare mess with me! You don’t know who I am!” the middle-aged man roared. “I could ruin you! Don’t play games with me!”

The handsome man smiled behind his mask. “Save your threats. I hate being threatened.”

“You—” The middle-aged man tried to attack again, but three guards dragged him out of the hall.

The room fell into silence. All eyes were now on the man who had dared to make the highest bid. He was the center of attention.

The host smiled. “Any higher bids?”

No one answered. The handsome man’s offer was simply too high. No one would dare to top it.

“Alright, since there are no more bids, the winner is the gentleman at the far end, with a bid of three million dollars.” The host pointed respectfully at the handsome man in the black mask.

Luna paled even more as she realized she belonged to a lecherous man. Her lips trembled with fear. She had lost her virginity for three million dollars—a staggering sum. Her heart ached, never imagining she would end up in such a world.

“Wait here.” The guard shoved Luna into a luxurious hotel room prepared by the event organizers. The burly guard had a menacing aura that terrified her.

Luna sobbed. “I didn’t sell myself. Please, let me go.”

She tried to touch the guard’s arm, but he shoved her harshly, causing her to fall onto the floor of the lavish hotel room.

“Don’t resist! Your aunt sold you to us! If you don’t behave, don’t blame us for throwing you into a brothel! Do you want that?” the guard barked before leaving Luna alone.

Luna hugged her knees and sobbed. Fear enveloped her. She wanted to escape, but how?

Luna had been sold by her own uncle’s sister. After her parents passed away, she was raised by her aunt. But she never imagined her aunt would be cruel enough to sell her into such a cursed place.

The door opened. Luna slowly turned her gaze—to see a tall, imposing man stepping into her room. The lights were dim, so she couldn’t see his face clearly. But even in the half-light, she could tell he was incredibly handsome.

Luna swallowed hard, still crying. “S-sir, t-thank you for buying me… B-but I’m not a prostitute. I-I didn’t sell myself.”

The handsome man approached Luna. He removed his mask and said coldly, “If you didn’t sell yourself, why were you up for sale?”

Luna dared to look at the man before her. Even in the dim light, she was stunned by his beauty.

“S-sir, p-please let me go.” Luna was too confused to explain. She was afraid that explaining would only make things worse. All she could do was beg for his mercy.

“If I let you go, I’ll lose three million dollars. That’s not a small sum. Do you think I want to lose my money?!” he hissed.

Tears streamed down Luna’s face. She didn’t have that kind of money. “S-sir, I-I’ll pay you back.”

He gripped Luna’s chin and stared into her reddened eyes. “I don’t want my money back. I bought you. That means tonight, you belong to me.”

Luna tried to resist, but it was useless. She couldn’t escape. No matter how hard she tried, she would lose.

Luna realized there was nothing she could do. All she could do was surrender. She was sure that no matter how much she begged the man before her, she would never be free.

The man stroked Luna’s cheek roughly, wiping her tears away. “Save your tears. I don’t want you serving me while crying tonight.”

Luna’s lips trembled as his fingers traced her lips. The scent of his masculine cologne overwhelmed her, making her feel powerless.

Luna’s tears stopped. She was terrified of the man who had bought her. Behind his handsome face lay a cold, ruthless aura. It made her helpless.

“What’s your name?” he whispered hoarsely.

Luna bit her lower lip. “L-Luna… m-my name is Luna.”

The handsome man pressed his lips to Luna’s and kissed her fiercely. Luna’s eyes widened as he stole her first kiss from a man she had never met.

“Have you never kissed before?” he whispered against her lips. He guessed Luna was inexperienced, as she was unable to kiss him back.

Luna nodded meekly, like a little kitten responding to her owner.

The man smirked at her reaction. The next moment, he moved his lips to her ear, nibbling and licking until Luna’s body trembled from the sensation.

“I promise I’ll be gentle, Luna.”
