"I thought that I've been hurt before
But no one's ever let me quite this sore"
My heart pounded in my chest, loudly hammering on my ears. My knees weakened, I want to just disappear and forget this nightmare. Oh God, What can I do? My wrists are tied as well as my mouth, preventing me from speaking. Sobs constantly erupt from me, as well as the acid tears streaming down my face.
I watched as the girls like me forcefully sold one by one and we can't do anything but sit here in front of these sick, vile people. This horrible place made my stomach stirred in disgust and fear. The whole place is dimly lit except from the bright spotlight on the stage where we would sit and display like some kind of meat. I warily look at the crowd; they're like hungry monsters buying some kind of meat to devour and fill their hunger.
I looked around and find my mother. I had a hard time because of the blinding light, my tears and its dark on the other side but I finally caught a glimpse of her. I glanced at my mother and she smirked at me. I can see the genuine happiness in her eyes and the relief in her face. I can't believe it. My mother sold me. I loved her. I don't want to leave her. I rather want to get hurt by her than being away from her. I never wanted to lose any more family. She's my only family.
Then, it snapped me. She never loves me. She never loves me, I accept that a long time ago, but why did it hurt so much? She sold me. She wanted to get rid of me. Why would she do this to me? As realization strike me hard, a new set of tears start streaming down my face. I can't believe this. I am being sold in the Black Market.
I suddenly miss my Father and my sister. I miss his warm arms around protecting me from any harm or danger. I suddenly wanted so much to at least catch a glimpse of that warm smile that my sister always wears when I'm with her. I miss being with them.
I wanted to scream and made them feel my agony. I wanted them to know how much it hurts to be away with my only family. But my mouth is tied. I can't do anything. I'm weak and I'm being sold to some wicked, horrible man.
Did I do something wrong in my life? To be in this situation? I only wanted to be with my mother. Is it too much asked?
"Ashley Nicole Levine, BM #1024. Red auburn hair, grey eyes. 35-25-30" The speaker announced and the auction started.
I looked at the girl on my left, her eyes are focused on her hands and she seems like she doesn't even care what's happening to her. She looked lost and her eyes held no emotion.
After almost couple of minutes, she's sold and two bulky men untie her and carry her out of the room. The thought of being sold like that made me shiver in terror. I don't want to be here. No one wants to be here. It only took a couple minutes and our life will be change forever.
I watched her once again then I can see a guy in formal suit squeezed her butt but she just stand there. The guy got mad and pulled her hair. He sniffed her and licked her neck. I shivered in fear.
My stomach flipped just thinking what will happened to me after I were sold. I don't want to be sold to anyone. I don't want any filthy hands on me. Would I be asệx slave? Would they tie me and abused me? Would they rἀpe me?
"And for the next girl, Victoria Serine Hale, BM #1025,"No, no way. Please. I closed my eyes and hoped that it's all a nightmare.
I can hear people murmuring, slowly making bid for me. No please, Oh God, I don't want to be sold. I don't want this!
I opened my eyes and glanced at my mother for the last time, I can see a little pity in her eyes. My heart howled in happiness. She cared for me! I tried to smile at her while tears flooded down my face but I failed. That's all I wish for, to see my mother cared for me again.
Then, I remembered my situation. No, please. I closed my eyes. Please don't let anyone buy me. Who would want me? An utterly broken and scarred girl like me?
"White Ash hair, bluish green eyes, 34-24-32, and specially ladies and gentlemen, a Virgin!!" The speaker announced.
I can hear people talking. I closed my eyes and tried to stop my tears. I know the no matter how many tears I shed, I will never got a chance to be free again. I was sold.
"Price starts at one million" My heart ached. Is that the price my mother gets from selling me? A million dollars? I laughed bitterly at myself. I thought I'm a worthlesswhọre. How ironic it is? A worthless but cost a million dollars? A whọre but still a virgin? But those word never really affect me, I've been hearing those for my whole life, a life living in a nightmare.
"One million" I heard someone shouted and followed by many voices.
"One million from the gentleman... Going once.."
My heart beats so fast. Tears continue blurred my vision. Then I remember all the sacrifice I've done for my mom, Am I not enough? Of course, I'm not. I'm a murderer, a whore, a disgrace, a completely shattered sinful soul. I'm a huge burden that they will be happily thrown if they get a chance.
Then, I remembered Ryan. Oh God, I sobbed so hard. Ryan will be- - No, Please don't let Ryan break his heart. I love him so much. No, not him. I don't want to leave him. Ryan, please save me. I whispered in my mind but I know it's useless. My heart breaks for me and for him.
"Half Billion." I opened my eyes and the room is silent.
"Anyone? Half Billion... Going once... Going twice..." The speaker said and no one answered. I closed my eyes tightly as my fate slowly sealed.
"Victoria Serine Hale. Sold.Half a billion dollars. "Then I cried.
" No! No! Please don't do this to me!" I shouted when my mouth was untied as two bulky men come to drag me out of the room. I shouted and cried my heart out hoping Mom will take me back.
"Mom, I love you! Please! No! Mom" I cried and cried until I was being pushed out of the door. I look at my mom and then cried when she doesn't even look to me.
"Please let me go! Let me go!" I shouted at them and tried to wiggle off from their grips.
"Shut up, slụt!" Then his grip tightened. I cowered in fear. What will they do to me?
"Please I will do anything! Just bring me back to my mom!" I cried and hoping that they pity me. Even if I know they wouldn't.
"Anything, huh?" The other one teased and my stomach swirled in disgust. Tears flooded my face, making my vision blurred. I shut my mouth hoping that they will not hurt me more. My heart hammering on my ears as my knees gave up. I can feel anxiety swallows me.
"Mom, please save me." I whispered many time, wishing she will take me back. It's like a hundred knives stabbed at my back. The unfamiliar pain slowly grip my hallow heart. All I can say was her name, my mother.
They taped my mouth and I tried to get away. But before I can complain, they pushed me inside the black SUV.
I was helpless. I used to be strong but now I can't. I don't have my mother anymore. I can't lose her. But you can't lose something you don't have.
Tears flowed from my eyes. I never cried before. But now, that's all I can do. I cried my heart out, my completely shattered heart.
