"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

　　I almost ran right into Luca. We froze, our eyes held onto each other, the tension between us palpable, one neither of us was willing to release.


　　"Didn't think you'd come," Luca said.


　　He laughed, crossing his arms. "The Dominic I know wouldn't have gone out of his way to attend a party like this for anybody. You've always made me attend all the parties."


　　"You, changing? Hell must've frozen," he said.


　　I snorted, crossing my arms. "Guess I'm just full of surprises. And maybe I actually missed my little brother."


　　He chuckled and slapped my shoulder, "I figured. Been obvious for months."


　　A moment's silence, then I could feel the months of chilled distance between us start to thaw.


　　"So," Luca said, "Is Leila responsible all these changes? The one who turned you from an egoistic idiot into well, slightly less of one?"
