LOGINAngela Moraga was kidnapped and sold to a ruthless mafia boss, Richard Henshaw. She was just an 18-year-old girl with big dreams; however, the man who bought her kept her as his property.

"Stop the car!" I yelled as my elder sister, Isabella Moraga, drove down the wrong path. "Oh, Angela! Do you think I would allow Richard to choose you over me? You are leaving this city and never coming back after I sell you off," Isabella yelled furiously. "Isabella, you are making a mistake. Richard and I are not dating. He was only staring at me—please, don't do this," I cried, tied up in the back seat of her car. How did I end up here? It was on a Saturday evening. Isabella had invited me to her boyfriend Richard Henshaw’s birthday party at the club. When we arrived, Richard kept looking at me instead of my sister. Isabella was 21, a partygoer, and we were alike in looks and stature—but she was my elder sister. I saw the angry look on Isabella’s face, and I wasn’t happy about it. She loved Richard Henshaw, who was from a wealthy mafia family, but she failed to understand that I would never betray her. Isabella and I shared the same parents, but she was older. I never thought my sister would read meaning into Richard’s glances. Even when Richard passed Isabella and came to meet me for a toast, I knew she was going to react. I declined Richard’s offer to share a drink. He was 24 years old and feared by many. I wouldn’t have attended his birthday party if not for my sister’s insistence. She brought me to the club and took me to Richard’s party. I was a decent girl, and my parents hardly allowed me out of the house except to go to school. My elder sister and I were close, but I never imagined she would want to sell me off or believe I intended to steal Richard Henshaw. How could I do that? After Isabella offered to take me home, she gave me a drink—and that was the last thing I remembered. I am an 18-year-old girl with big dreams of becoming a surgeon. My focus was on my studies, but now my sister had interfered. Even when my intuition warned me not to, I drank what Isabella gave me. I trusted my sister. I loved her. We talked as she updated me about her campus life. Isabella was already in second year in college, and I was a freshman. However, after I drank it, the alcoholic taste burned my throat, but to make my sister happy, I finished it. Later, I passed out. When I awoke, I found myself in Isabella’s car, tied by my wrists and ankles. Only God knew where she was taking me. I saw she had driven past the city where our parents lives. Mom and Dad were going to be worried. "Please, Isabella, don’t do this. Please…" I cried from the back seat, but she didn’t reply. Soon, her car tires screeched to a halt, and my heart raced. "Isabella," I tried calling my sister’s name as she sat in the driver’s seat, dressed impeccably in a lovely red dress. "Hello, Morgan. I have a special present for you," Isabella spoke softly, and my heartbeat quickened. Who is Morgan? Who is my sister calling? "I will be there. I hope the present is as lovely as you say," the person on the call replied. Isabella looked back at me lying on the rear seat and grinned. "You will see for yourself. Hurry up. I heard the auction is tonight, and I don’t want to miss out on selling her before my parents find out," Isabella said, tapping her steering wheel. "I am not for sale! Isabella, don’t do this! Please, let me go! I am your sister—why?" I yelled. The call went silent for a moment before the man replied, "I will be there. Hold up." The call ended, and Isabella still didn’t look back at me. "Why are you doing this? You were the one who took me to Richard’s birthday party. Why do you want to sell me off? What crime did I commit?" I asked my sister, and she scoffed. "You have always earned Mom and Dad’s love more than I have. The same with Top Hills University. I wanted to go there, but Mom and Dad declined. Yet when you mentioned it, they agreed to everything. You steal everything from me, even though I am the older sister. Men admire you. So why shouldn’t I sell you off? You are going to become a sex slave to a mafia boss. That’s what pretty bìtches like you are born to be—a whòre!" I looked at my sister in stunned silence. "Isabella, what are you talking about? You didn’t pass the admission exam for Top Hills University—that’s why you weren’t accepted. This has nothing to do with Mom and Dad. Please, let me go. I don’t want to become a prostitute. Please…" I cried, but Isabella didn’t bother to look at me. She pulled out her lipstick and painted her lips blood red. "You don’t have to try to look good. You have everything: big breasts, a sexy shape, and a pretty face. I can’t allow you to continue outshining me. So just relax. We have an auction tonight at 8 p.m. Let’s see who buys you. Just pray it isn’t an old man. Hahaha!" Isabella laughed, and I knew begging her was useless. The sound of footsteps approaching the car caught my attention. I saw three men in black come forward to pull me out. "Welcome, Morgan. Here's my sister. But, she causes me so much trouble," Isabella said once she got out of the car. The man named Morgan ordered the others, "Inject her to calm her down." "No, don’t do this! Someone help!" I screamed, but it fell on deaf ears. As I struggled in the back seat, one of the men opened the door and unlocked it. He injected me with a substance that made me pass out. When I awoke, I heard the loud sound of people cheering and a bright white light flashing on me. I was sitting in front of a crowd. My hands were tied, my lips taped shut, my legs bound. I was displayed like goods ready to be sold. "Attention, everyone! This young woman is up for grabs tonight—a virgin with porcelain skin. The bidding starts at one million dollars!" the host shouted, and I was stunned. I tried to break free. I couldn’t see the crowd in the darkness, but the stage was lit with bright lights. How could Isabella do this to me? "Five million dollars!" someone bid. "Ten million dollars!" three others called out. "Twenty million dollars!" another bid, and the hall fell into tense silence. "Twenty million dollars, going once?" the host asked. "Fifty million dollars!" another bid, raising his paddle. The hall fell dead silent. How could anyone bid fifty million dollars for me? I shivered on the stage. "Fifty million going once? Fifty million, anyone else?" the host asked, but no one raised the bid higher. "Sold!" the host announced, and I fainted at the realization that I had been sold against my will. I swore to get my revenge on Isabella if I ever got out of this place.Isabella's POV:"I didn't say anything," I lied, my breathing heavy, and Ethan looked into my eyes. His eyes narrowed at me with disbelief."I see that you want me to punish you. After all, I already purchased you tonight, so I have the right to deal with you however I like," he let go of me and started unbuttoning his shirt."What are you trying to do?" I asked him tearfully as he smirks, taking out his gun from his waistband and holding it straight against my head."Strip," he orders, and I tremble. "Please, let me go. I don't want any of this. I don't want to be a prostitute," I try to beg him, but he cocks his gun, as if he wants to pull the trigger."Do not make me repeat myself. Are you going to tell me everything you know about Richard Henshaw? Do not think that I am stupid. I saw all the past relationships photos with Richard. Do you think I only just wasted my 70 million dollars because I have nothing of importance to do with my money?" He asks, his voice dripping with anger.
Isabella's POV:I stared at Ethan's face in shock after his lips parted from mine. My heart was racing so loudly in my chest, even though this isn't the first time I'm getting kissed by a man. But something in the way Ethan kisses my lips is so different from how Richard had kissed me. Knowing that Ethan is my rival's brother, I know I cannot have any high hopes about the man.The car screeched to a halt, and Ethan pushes me away from his thighs while I sit next to him in the back seat. My heart races as I see the driver opens the partition and announces to Ethan, "We have arrived, boss.""Got it," Ethan says as he adjusts his suit properly and gets out of the car, before looking over at me still sitting inside."Do you need an invitation to get out of my car?" Ethan asks coldly, and I look at his handsome, fair face and bite my bottom lip.Shaking my head, I mumble, "No, sir."My body is still hot from the kiss he has given me in his car, and I know I cannot relish that kiss. After a
Isabella's POV:The jerking of the car made my body trembled as I noticed that I was not sitting properly inside of this car.Where am I? I pondered as my eyes fluttered open and I take a look around, seeing the unfamiliar faces that I do not know of.I swiftly recoil away from the fair-skinned man who sits and looks at me. His black eyes colder than Richard's."You're finally awake?" He asks, his voice calm as he wears a black suit."Yes. Who are you? Why am I in this car with you? Were you the one who bought me?" I ask, as I am a little relieved that he isn't an old man."Mmm," the man presses his lips into a thin line. Not bothering to reply to me. I take my time admiring him and wondering where I have seen his cold face before.He is busy going through his phone, and his phone rings aloud."Hello, sis," he says, his voice softening as I thought that he doesn't speak much. But he proves me wrong by answering the call."Brother, where are you? This is almost midnight and you are not
Angela's POV:"You can slap me if you want if that will make you feel better," Richard said, his eyes watching my face intensely, and I sighed and looked away from him. "Let's go," Richard turned to walk out of the room as he pulled the office door to unlock it. Sighing, I walked out of the room with him, knowing that there was nothing that I could do to save Isabella. When we stepped downstairs and walked out of the building, the voices of different people filled the air as Richard led me to his car. I caught sight of Isabella. She had passed out from shock. I didn't know what they used to sedate her, but she was asleep. A man was carrying her on his shoulder, and he took her to the black Jeep that was ahead of ours. "Richard Henshaw," a deep voice called out in the crowd, and I stilled, seeing the man who had called Richard. He stepped out of the crowd, his group of bodyguards standing behind him. "Why does your property resemble mine? Are you sure that you haven't swapped the
*RICHARD POV* As I stepped downstairs into the living room, Damon and his colleague stood from the black couch and smiled at me. "Richard Henshaw," Damon said, his voice laced with mockery as his eyes locked with mine. "To what do I owe your visit? I already told you that I did not detain anyone

Richard's POV; "Are you happy now? What did you aim to achieve?" I asked Damon, after watching Angela leave the hallway. Damon turned to face me, his lips pressed into a thin line. His gaze hardened as I knew that he was looking for concrete evidence to put me behind bars. My father ensured everyt
