"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

　　"Why is she taking so long?" I growled to myself, pacing up and down beside Dominic's room. Every second felt like dragging on into a day since my patience had already worn thin. I cast my eyes at the door ahead because, inside my tummy, it stirred a tight protective feeling.


　　"Hey, Luca," Jocelyn's voice came from behind, "What is going on with you?"


　　I turned then to her, forcing a smile against the churning anxiety inside me. "Just waiting for Leila. She's been in there forever."


　　"Maybe Dominic is busy?" she said an unwanted grin spreading across her lips.


　　I clenched my teeth tight. "Busy? Doing what? They're just talking."


　　Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that." Jocelyn was leaning in, dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "You know how Dominic gets when he's jealous. You might want to go in there and remind him who Leila belongs to."


　　"Don't start," I warned my irritation bubbling over. "I'm not looking for a fight."
