"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

　　"Follow me," Dominic ordered in a voice low and cold as the Antarctica snow, shoving his chair backward from the dining table. I'd barely wrapped my head around the steel in his eyes when he was already striding to the door.


　　I wanted to stand, but there was Luca's hand on my arm that restrained me.


　　"Don't go in there, Leila," he warned, "You don't have to do this alone."


　　But Dominic had already reached the door, spinning on his heel to glare at us. "This is between Leila and me. Stay out of it."


　　I turned to Luca, concern etched across his features, but I couldn't back down. Dominic's anger was a storm brewing in the air and one that I needed to face. I wriggled free from Luca's grasp. "I'll be fine. Just… give us a moment."


　　Luca's face screwed up into a picture of resignation, and I knew he disagreed, but he stepped aside, allowing Dominic to usher me into the room.
