Chapter 5: The Bidding

As Samaira stepped out of the elevator and walked through the lounge bar area, a man bumped into her, Samaira turned her face away as the strong smell of alcohol hit her nostrils

“Hey, Samaira, Is that you?”

Samaira turned to look at the man and froze, he was the last person she wanted to meet today, s ignoring him she tried to walk away but then he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, she fell on his chest

“Let me go Tahir,” she struggled to free herself

“Hey, c’mon, what's the hurry?, its not that I haven’t touched you before,”

He smiled as he straightened her and held captive both her hands

“Leave my hands and let me go,” she hissed

Tahir had been her co star in a couple of movies and they never gelled. When she started her career as an actress he was already an established star, he had once barged into her room in the middle of the night and attempted to molest her

She hated him from the core of her bones and meeting him here was not a great sign

“So what are you doing here, It's not like you can afford this place anymore right,”

He looked at her beautiful face that was already flushed with anger, then his eyes widened, as if somehting occured to him

“Holy Shit!, are you here to audition for Jimmy, shit Samaira!!,”

His look of incredulity almost killed her spirit, "Leave my hand," she just wanted to run away

“Wait, come with me,”

“No, let me go Tahir,’

“C’mon babe, It's for your own good, better than doing topless shoots,” he dragged her forcefully with him

“I’m not...,”

Before she could say anymore he had dragged her to a VIP room

As soon as she was pulled in forcefully into the room she looked around

There were some old time directors who had worked with her papa, some old colleagues of him.. they were all big shots from business and film fraternity

There were some were upcoming actresses trying to link up with these men

Her eyes widened in anger as they stopped on Mohan who had Simone wrapped around his arm, Simone was her rival, not till Samaira moved out of industry due to the tragedy did Simone get an opportunity to rise, and it was Mohan who had kept her as his mistress.

As soon as Samaira’s gaze landed on Mohan who had a lusty sneer on his face, her eyes filled up with hatred but she looked away

“Guys, look whose here?, the high and mighty, ex upper class socialite, ex superstar now a fallen princess,”

 "Samaira what’s wrong with you, you look so.. so poorly,” Simone piped in sarcastically

“Simone, dont be rude! Samaira just had a photo shoot up here, and guess who it was with?”

Tahir left no stone unturned to put her down

Samaira looked at him in a desperate attempt to shut him, but he was a shameless pig, he ignored her eyes that were pleading him

“She did a photoshoot with Jimmy for a lingerie brand, that too topless,”

The room was filled with gasps and grunts, people looked at her with disdain

“Samaira, why did you have to do that, you should have simply asked me for help,”

Mohan pushed Simone away and sat upright

Just then there was a beep on Tahir’s mobile, he smirked as he looked at the content of the message

“Well now that she is here why not let her entertain us,” Simone scorned

“Sure, Samaira, since you went topless up there, how about giving us a good show,” Tahir smirked, "We will pay you well,"

“Let’s have a strip tease, her moves were always great when she was a star,”

Mohan bent forward and placed a huge stack of cash on the table

“Samaira, all this and much more will be yours, all you have to do is strip for us,”

Samaira was seething with anger as she looked at all the losers in the room right now, she turned around to make her way out but Tahir pulled her hard and pushed her to Manoj

Samaira was shocked as she fell on Mohan’s feet, his face bent low, close to her face

“Dance bitch, or do you want me to tell everyone how your mom begged me to take her in as myr mistress, just so that I let you have your house,”

He sneered as he clutched her jaw in her hand

Samaira’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at him with hatred

“Never, I’ll never do what you want me to do, you’re a swine, a b*stard of the first order Mohan and I’ll never give in to you,”

“Hmm,” he left her face and sat back, lost in thoughts

“Well, then don’t blame me for what will happen next,”

He looked at his guards who walked up to her and grabbed both her hands and legs

“NO, LET ME GO YOU B*STARD,” she yelled and fought back but they were four and she was one, while the crowd cheered them on

The men took her to the wall, she was shocked to see that the wall had hand and leg cuffs, she was cuffed to them and she couldn’t move her hands and feet anymore as the grip was tight, everyone laughed heartily at the show that was to begin

“Okay, let’s play,” said Tahir

"Wait," everyone looked at Simone who had a sneer on her face

"She needs to enjoy the game too right?, let's add more value to her presence,"

All looked at Simone with questioning gaze till she stood up, grabbed a bottle of wine and walked to Samaira whose eyes widened as she realised what she planned to do

"B*tch, I had to waste so many precious nights of my life getting f*cked by men just to get that one chance you kept getting repeatedly in the name of nepotism, rotten products like you should have some rotten fun,"

"NO Simone, don't do this,"

She looked at her in horror as Simone raised the bottle up, then pulling something that was tucked into her cleavage under her top, she unwrapped the paper, exposing a white pill, holding it between her thumb and index finger she rolled it with a cunning smile on her lips

Before Samaira could say anymore, she popped the pill into the wine bottle and shoved the bottle onto Samaira's mouth, forcing to keep her mouth open and having her gulped more than half bottle

Samaira felt her mind go numb, she felt dizzy as she coughed violently, trying to catch her breath

"Simone, that was a brilliant move, I will surely launch you as a female lead in my next project, since you made sure I will have fun tonight, I'll make sure you will have success and money too,"

"Thankyou Mr. Mohan," she came and took her seat next to him

"Alright let's begin," Mohan looked at Tahir who smiled

“ So people, let's make this slow and one by one, How much for her stole to be removed?,”

People began shouting random amounts and Mohan was the highest bidder, in no time her stole was snatched off her neck, revealing her fair skin

"Samaira was beginning to feel uncomfortable, her mind felt fuzzy 

“How much for her top?”

Tahir shouted at the crowd,

“C’mon people don’t be stingy, its not everyday that you get to see Samaira stripping for your eyes,”

Samaira’s heart beat wildly in her chest, she prayed to Gods to save her this one time and she would try and avoid problems.. but when did she even invite them?

Her heart sank as the people kept shouting big amounts just to see her top taken off her body

“NO, Stop this immediately Tahir, stop it,” she cried aloud, yet sounded weak and slurry

Finally Mohan’s bid was again the highest and her top was to be taken off rudely

“NO, Please don’t do this Tahir, please,”

She begged him to let her be, but he walked to her with a smirk on his face

“You have held on too long to your hollow pride Miss Samaira, time to let it go,” he sneered

“Tahir, looks like my bid is the highest each time, I guess I’m gonna win the jack pot today, finally after her skirt is taken off, I want you all to leave her alone to me, is that clear?”

Mohan spoke in his ugly tone with an ugly look on his face filled with lust

“Sure Mohan sir, she will be all yours, but atleast let us have the privilege to get a glimpse of her body,”

“ha ha , Tahir, don’t be funny, after she leaves here today, her body will be available for everyone to see and touch,” Mohan laughed

Samaira felt disgusted, she wanted to cry aloud, but she had decided not to cry, still she was afraid, her body was acting up as heat spread across it

‘Oh! Raul, where are you, please come and save me, Raul, please find me somehow,’

She kept praying and hoping hopelessly in her heart, knowing well what pill they gave her, she couldn't loose her face, not at any cost

Tahir extended his hand to her chest and pulled apart her top, tearing it in the process

“Aaah! NOOO!,”

She screamed, thankfully she had a corset within the top so her modesty was still safe

“Heck, I’m not bidding extra for this piece of clothing, Tahir, just pull it off,”

Mohan ordered and Tahir abided, he simply tore the corset with his strong hands, the fabric was strong so he pulled out his Swiss knife and slit it from the centre

Everyone gasped as Samaira’s fair cleavage, skin and black lacy bra was revealed

“Please Stop, don’t do this,”

Much as she didn’t want to, a tear slid off her eye, she was but just a 22 year old after all, her mind was already battling a hundred elephant's stampede happening within

“Samaira darling, I heard you wanted money for Shain’s treatment, didn’t you?”

Mohan looked at her red face that was now filled with rage

“You b*stard, even if you’re the last person on this earth I’ll never use your blood stained money to heal my nephew, you're an asshole, you will meet your end soon, I curse you,”

She spat out as she looked at him with hatred, her face going red already

Mohan’s face turned black as his eyes widened ferociously, "BItch, you forgot what happened to your mother?," he glared at her dangerously

“Tahir, no more games, tear off every piece of clothing on her body till she has nothing on,”

Samaira’s heart skipped a beat, she looked at Tahir

“Tahir No, please don’t do this, I beg you don’t,” she finally shut her eyes as she couldn’t see any light, she knew she was doomed and nothing could save her now, not her mom and papa, not her brother, nor her boyfriend Raul, neither her will power which was now sabotaged by the effects of the pill

Tahir walked to her and hooked his fingers into the belt of her skirt, he slid his hands over her skin for a while, her face was full of sweat, shame and fear

Tahir pulled her skirt roughly and she shrieked

“NOOOOO!,”

*BANG*

Just then the door to the room was kicked open, a man with extremely killer looks and great body walked in with his long legs.

The room suddenly went quiet, Samaira was shocked, she simply shut her eyes again and thanked her stars.

OH! dear stars, Is it true that for every single monster on earth there are 5 angels that each person has.. right or am I imagining..

All Hearts !!
