"One million," A man seated at the corner of the room called out, raising his paddle.
My heart pounded louder with each bid. The men sneered, their eyes devouring me like I was a piece of meat. My body trembled as I rubbed my sweaty hands on my clothes.
The bids went higher and higher until there were just two men left. 
"Three million," the chubby man declared, impatient evident in his tone.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"Five million," A stranger countered, raising his paddle. 
My eyes widened in shock as I tried to figure out who this stranger was. The room was filled with murmurs and no one could counter the stranger. 
The auctioneer's gavel slammed down. 
"Sold!" 
***
Leila Flynn, 19 years old, struggles to keep her ailing brother alive, and her life takes a dark turn when she is suddenly kidnapped into London's underworld auction. During the auction, she is bought for a high price by a mysterious and wealthy stranger, Dominic Anderson. Leila is then taken to a grand mansion in London, where she begins a complex relationship with Dominic.
Dominic, a powerful mafia boss, lives a life shrouded in mystery and danger. Leila gradually discovers that Dominic's concern for her and her younger brother, Michael- who suffers from leukemia- goes beyond mere kindness. Under Dominic's protection, Leila tries to uncover his true intentions while also developing a subtle emotional connection with his brother, Luca.
In this dangerous game of love, betrayal, and revenge, Leila must decide whether to place her trust in Dominic or sever all ties with his perilous world once and for all.

Maid for the Mafia

　　"Luca, get your ass in here immediately," was all of the advance notice I had time to yell into the intercom before I had to lean back in my chair.


　　My desk hadn't even gotten to feel my fingertips before the first four fingers struck, already knowing my little brother wasn't going to be all too pleased over being interrupted. I found out he was with Leila in her room. But we couldn't afford to remain idle. Not after last night's attack.


　　The next thing I knew, my door swung open and Luca came in pissed. His flushed face had gone red. "You have the worst timing in the world, Dominic! Seriously, are you kinda psychic or something, knowing exactly when to interrupt?


　　One of my eyebrows arched, and I couldn't resist but play with him a little. "Inconvenient? What could be so important that you found it necessary to lose your temper that badly? Having some kind of deep conversation with the maid?"
