"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!"

Maid for the Mafia

　　"Leila, It's me, Dominic. You're safe now."


　　Her eyes flickered open and for a moment they were unfocused, clouded by confusion and terror. I leaned forward taking her hand gently in mine, willing her to focus on me, to know she was safe.


　　"Dominic…" the word came out hoarse, barely heard, "What … what happened?"


　　I swallowed hard and set a lid on my emotions. "You're in the hospital. You were attacked, but you're going to be okay."


　　Her brow furrowed and I watched as it all came rushing back to her. Her eyes went wide and she jerked her hand from mine, struggling to sit up despite the pain which twisted her features.


　　"N-no, no!" she managed to stammer out into rising high-pitched hysteria. "They… they were there. They-"


　　"Shh, Leila, listen," I said firmly to her hands reaching for her shoulders and trying to hold them as softly as possible. "You're okay. Nothing is gonna happen to you. I won't let it."
