My Family Sold Me Novels & Stories

I won’t let him call me that. “Either way, you’re still family, now calm down.” He looks at me waiting. “Fuck you! Family don’t sell each other. Family don’t try and use each other and hurt them for their own gain. I’m not part of your family or theirs.” I look to my parents. “The day they sold me just to get some quick cash was the day I became unlinked from this family.” “Your aunt Evalyn, do you remember how she died?” He looks at me waiting.

That didn't mean that I thought I deserved to be sold off to a man older than me. “ Then accept this, everyone in this family has a responsibility and this is yours” he declared, and he packed the few items that were remaining in my closet. "your mother and I have been making sacrifices for you ever since you were born, it's your turn now," he said and I couldn't believe that my own father was selling me off as payment for the fact that he raised me, he might not have put it like that but that was exactly how it sounded to me.

She must have left through there. I rush toward the window, but all I see is a rope hanging all the way down. She’s already gone. I step back, feeling numb, and sit on the bed, trying to think through what to do. But then I remember the letter, the word “deal.” So the marriage was a business arrangement? Why? I know my uncle is strict, but not to the point of practically selling his daughter for the sake of a deal.

“You inherited it. Then ran it into the ground, and sold it to Victor Pierro at an incredibly low price.” My mother splutters. My father sucks in a deep breath. “I negotiated a profitable deal—” “You sold this family’s main source of income. Along with all your other assets, and in the space of a single year. All for a series of cheap thrills in your own lost casino. Impressive, really.”

It had even surpassed my brothers’ company. I vividly remembered how much I had struggled in the past, so I could not bring myself to move away from this place. Of course, the biggest reason was that I did not want to be away from my brothers. This place was close to where they lived, after all. But all those sentiments were not worth anything anymore. I put the house for sale online and intended to sell it off for cheap. Then, I transferred fifty million dollars for taking care of me over the years. It was my way of thanking them.

I muttered in a low voice. " What did you say? " Amelia asked din surprised. It was like she heard me, but didn't believe. "He... bought... me" I repeated a bit louder dragging each of the words. " My family sold me because my dad was deep in dept, and the people he owed promised not only to release him of his debts, also to give him a lot of money if he gave up one of his daughters, so he gave me up. " Amelia eyes widened in shock, she blinked at me once to confirm if I was telling the truth.

The words hit me. I looked at him, at the crowd, and then at Charles. This was an auction. “Father?" My voice trembled, but not with fear. With betrayal. “You sold me to him!” He lit a cigar, his movements were slow, he was thinking.. He exhaled a thick cloud of smoke before finally looking at me. Unmoved. Unbothered. “I made the best decision for this family.” I took a step closer, fists clenched. "For the family? What about me? Do I mean nothing to you?"

she said. “My brother is the one they love, not me. When I have anything that my brother wants, my parents will take it from me and give it to him right away. I've spent more than two decades in a family like that, and I've always been depressed. But I'm able to work now. I don't feel happy at all, therefore I keep working hard because I want to leave the family. However, I never imagined that my parents would treat me so badly. For 10 million dollars, they sold me. I'm not sure if I can return to that house. I believe they would treat me poorly as usual even if I went."

After we finalized the divorce, I immediately packed my belongings and prepared to leave. “Don’t take anything yet! Let me check if you took anything valuable!” Mary wanted to search me. She said mockingly, “Why are you acting so happy? Without my son, you’re nothing! I bet you’ll live like a dog!” I did not bother with her. I rented a storage room and put my items there before going to the lottery center to get my reward. Aside from taxes and some donations that I made, I still had $40 million with me. Six months later, I received the amount in my account.

Mother said and I exhaled. “Yes Ari, you should sell it. This is an order from your parents.” My father supported my mom. I looked across the faces of my brothers and both Ryker and Liam nodded their heads in support. So I was really doing this? Was I really going to sell off our family heirloom just to get the money to pay Damian back and get a rejection?
