I slowly emerged from the darkness, my eyelids fluttering open to reveal an opulent chamber bathed in sinister red hues. The air was heavy with foreboding, and I could feel the weight of malevolent intentions bearing down upon me.

"As I struggled to sit up, the cold, unforgiving metal of the cuffs bit into my wrists and ankles, securing me to the bedpost like a captive animal. A wave of panic crashed over me, threatening to engulf my sanity.

"'What twisted desires does that monstrous individual harbor for me now?' I thought, my mind racing with macabre possibilities.

"Memories of my mother's gentle face swirled through my thoughts, and I could only pray that she was okay. Remorse seared my conscience as I recalled the scathing words I'd hurled at Adrik.

"'Why did I say that to him?' I lamented, my voice barely above a whispered despair." Just as I thought the darkness couldn't deepen, the jingling of keys echoed outside my room. The door swung open, and three stunning women sauntered in, their tall, curvaceous figures commanding attention.

"Hi, lovely," cooed the ravishing redhead, Lily, her voice husky and confident.

Her gaze swept toward the slender woman beside her, who sported a dazzling smile and a skintight outfit that left little to the imagination.

"And here's Nem," Lily continued, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "She's DD – Delightfully Dangerous."

Nem's attire seemed tailored for seduction, showcasing her toned physique. The third woman, with raven-black hair and piercing green eyes, remained silently alluring, her gaze fixed intently on me.

Their poised demeanor and flawless features hinted at surgical enhancements, but it only added to their mesmerizing allure.

We are here to prepare you for the auction "Auction?" I repeated, my voice trembling as a chill coursed through my veins. "What do you mean?"

Lily's smile widened, her eyes glinting with a sinister light. "You're to be prepared for the highest bidder, lovely. Tonight, you'll be the star attraction."

Nem's gaze never wavered, her eyes seeming to strip me bare. The third woman, still silent, began to circle around me, her movements fluid and predatory.

Fear clawed at my heart, threatening to consume me. I strained against the cuffs, desperation fueling my struggles.

"No, this can't be happening," I whispered, my mind racing with horrors. "What kind of auction?"

Lily's laughter sent shivers down my spine. "One where the wealthy and powerful bid on the finest commodities. And you, lovely, are a rare gem."

"I bitterly regretted ever speaking to Adrik. His charming mask hid a sinister intent – to sell me like a commodity.

Cuffed and helpless, I faced the unthinkable: auctioned off to the highest bidder. Fear gripped me, but I vowed to survive, to escape, no matter what."

"After a brutal struggle, the three women transformed me into a provocative spectacle, fitting me into a revealing outfit that made my skin crawl. Lily's harsh slap still stung my cheek, a painful reminder of my forced compliance.

Nem's knock on the door signaled the next phase of my nightmare. Two burly men stormed in, grasping me like cargo, and dragged me to a sprawling room teeming with wealthy, lecherous men.

The auction stage loomed before me, a platform of shame and degradation. The host, a slick, oily man, began the proceedings with a sly smile.

'Bidding starts at $500,000,' he announced, his voice dripping with greed.

My heart sank as the bids escalated:

'$1 million!' shouted an elderly man, his eyes gleaming with lust.

'$1.5 million!' countered another, his face twisted in excitement.

'$2.5 million!' yelled a third, his voice grating with desperation.

Just as I thought I'd be sold to the highest bidder, a figure emerged from the shadows. My mother sat beside Adrik, the devil himself.

Her hand rose, and the room fell silent.

'$10 million,' she declared, her voice shaky but firm .

My mind reeled. What was my mother doing here?

As the auctioneer's hammer fell, I felt a chill run down my spine. '$10 million, going, going, gone!' he declared, his voice echoing through the room.

Adrik's smile grew wider as he approached me, his eyes gleaming with triumph.

'Congratulations, you're now the property of your mother,' he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

My mind reeled. What did Adrik gain from this? Was he using my mother as leverage against me?

'So your mom now owes me $10 million,' Adrik sneered, 'which I would want back by the break of dawn tomorrow.' I couldn't believe my ears.

The amount was staggering, the deadline impossible. My mother's face drained of color, her eyes wide with fear.

'How can you do this?' I demanded, outrage boiling within me.

Adrik's smile twisted. 'You'd be surprised what I can do. Your mother borrowed from me, and now she must pay. Interest included, of course.'

My mother's gaze locked onto mine, her eyes pleading for forgiveness. Her face, once a map of warmth and love, now seemed etched with desperation.

'I think you'll find the terms of our agreement quite... motivating,' Adrik continued, his voice dripping with malice.

'And what if I don't pay?' I asked, my voice steady despite the trembling within.

Adrik's smirk grew wider, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. 'Oh, I don't expect you to pay, my love,' he crooned. 'You and your mother were barely scraping by, after all. Where would you possibly find $10 million?'

His gaze lingered on me, relishing my desperation.

'But to answer your question...'

Adrik paused, savoring the moment.

'If you don't pay, I'll have no other choice but to sell your mother's organs. Considering her age, they won't fetch the full debt, but...'

He shrugged, his expression callous.

'That's where your best friend comes in. She proved to be quite the handful when my men kidnapped her, but...' Adrik's eyes roamed over me, his voice dripping with malice.

'She'll fetch a handsome price on the market. Her youth, her beauty...'

My heart sank, horror creeping up my spine.

'You monster,' I spat.

Adrik chuckled. 'I'm just a businessman, my dear. And in this world, everything has a price.'

His gaze shifted to my mother, who stood frozen, her eyes wide with terror.

'Your mother's kidneys, liver, and heart will bring in a substantial sum. And as for your friend...' Adrik's smile twisted.

'She'll be sold to the highest bidder, where she'll become a plaything for the wealthy and depraved.'

The room seemed to darken, as if Adrik's words sucked the very light out of it.

I felt my resolve harden. I would do anything to protect my mother and friend.

'You'll never get away with this,' I snarled.

Adrik laughed. 'Oh, but I already have.'

'What do you want from me?' I asked, trying to hide the tremble in my voice.

Adrik's gaze lingered on me, his eyes burning with intensity.

'Oh, dearly, you know exactly what I want,' he whispered, his fingers tracing my cheekbone.

'You know I want to kill everyone who saw you like this with my bare hands,' he growled, his voice low and menacing.

'But I'll just leave that to my men.'

My heart sank as Adrik's henchmen stepped forward, their faces devoid of emotion.

Just then, Lily burst in, her eyes wide with fear.

'please!' she begged.

Adrik turned to face her, his expression twisting into a snarl.

'You raised your hand on my property,' he spat.

Lily cowered, her hands raised in defense.

'She was proving to be difficult, so I had to,' she stammered.

Adrik's laughter sent shivers down my spine. It was nothing but evil.

'Difficult?' he repeated, his voice dripping with malice.

'You think she's difficult?'

Adrik's gaze locked onto Lily, his eyes blazing with fury.

'You'll pay for that.'

One of Adrik's men produced an axe,its blade glinting menacingly.

'Which hand did you use to strike her?' Adrik demanded, his gaze fixed on Lily.

Lily trembled, her voice barely audible.

'I-I don't know,' she stammered.

I rushed to my mother's side, our eyes locked in terror.

'Mom!' I whispered, clinging to her.

My mother's eyes brimmed with tears as we both feared the worst."

Two men emerged, swiftly pinning Lily to a table. Her hands were stretched out, helpless.

Adrik's eyes flashed with cruelty as he raised his ax.

With one swift, merciless swing, he severed both of Lily's hands.

Our screams echoed through the room, a haunting, anguished cry.

Stop screaming!' Adrik barked.

Only then did I realize that my mother and I were also screaming.

Adrik's expression turned eerily calm.

'Let's go home, shall we?' he suggested, his voice dripping with malice.

He gestured for me to take his bloody hands, but I recoiled in horror.

When I didn't move, Adrik's smile twisted.

'Don't make me pick up that axe again,' he threatened, his eyes glinting with cruelty."

Adrik grasped my hand, his bloody fingers wrapping around mine like a vice.

He led us out of the building, into a scene from my worst nightmares.

As we stepped into the daylight, I shivered in terror.

Bodies lay scattered everywhere, a gruesome landscape of death.

The air reeked of blood and violence.

My mother clung to me, her eyes wide with horror.

Adrik's grip tightened, his smile twisted.

'Welcome to my world,' he whispered, his breath cold against my ear.
