CHAPTER FOUR ; AUCTION BEGINS
The man pulled the trigger but the bullet didn't hit Rosetta; it hit the door handle she was about to grab.
She shirked in fear, shaking as she stared at the door knob. If her hands had been on the door handle she would have no right hand anymore. She was a fool to think that they would let her go so easily. These people were dangerous and would not hesitate to kill her.
The man laughed like a lunatic and he walked up to Rosetta, toying with the gun in his hands.
He moved towards Rosetta and brought out a small zigzag edged dagger. He pierced it through her skin pressing it on her arm deeply till she bled.
"Ouch" Rosetta winced in pain. Feeling the sharp edges of the knife on her delicate skin.
"Go out now" He ordered and Rosetta quickly backed away from him shaking profusely, she didn't stop running till she reached the area where other girls stood.
She could hear the cheering of men, as another girl was taken to the main stage.
"Five hundred thousand going once...twice ......" The auction host called out "and this beautiful girl has been sold for Five hundred thousand to Mr. Fernando" the host announced.
"Who's going next?" One of the girls asked.
Rosetta hid in the corner shivering, she was scared to go out she didn't want to go there. where those monsters were. The other girls were as scared and horrified, as she was to be sold.
"Hey you" A brunette girl pointed to Rosetta, pulling her roughly “go out next.” The girl ordered.
"No I am not" Rosetta wanted to say but with what happened inside she was scared to say anything.
"Hey Marco, let the blondie go next" The brunette ordered and the man called Marco pulled Rosetta away taking her to the stage entrance.
"She has a pretty face." The host admired Rosetta's beauty, his eyes scanned her body from head to toe, and he smirked lustfully.
"Why didn't you put her in something sexy?" he inquired looking at Rosetta intently, his eyes filled with lust.
"There were no more of those outfits, she is a late arrival " Marco replied.
"Whatever, hey you it's time to come out with me" The host said to Rosetta but she stood still not wanting to go anywhere.
The host frowned when Rosetta refused to do what he said. "Look, let's get this over and done with because if you mess with anyone here, you won’t live to tell the tale" The host threatened, pressing a sharp zigzag edged dagger to her neck. Though he admired her beauty she would get him more money, so she had to be sold.
Rosetta followed him slowly like a dumb scared little cat. She entered the stage and felt the light hit her face. Her eyes slowly and quietly examined the room.
Wealthy looking men were seated in the room, old and young. She recognized some of them. She must have seen them on television before since they were all influential men.
It was disgusting that the affluent men of the society engaged and encouraged such horrible acts and she was now a victim of it.
Rosetta felt as fear slowly began to creep into her, out of nervousness as she stood in front of the people as a display object. Though the room was cool due to the many air conditioners, she could feel herself beginning to sweat as the seconds passed.
Her eyes stayed still as she stared at the floor, the looks she was given weren't one that was comforting or from pity. Instead, most of them smirked looking up at her.
Taking deep breaths she tried to control the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes. She shivered, realizing her new reality: she was going to become a bed warmer for one of the hundreds of rich men in the room.
"This is girl number seven" The auctioneer announced enthusiastically "She will make an excellent pet in the bedroom, and is still very much untouched, virgin girls are rare these days you will be lucky to have her in your bed"
The announcement of the auctioneer, made the men excited they wanted to get their hands on this beautiful fairy.
He continued to entice the men by saying;
"She has such smooth skin, and a lovely body imagine having such a beautiful girl curled up in your arms, she will sound so lovely in the bedroom"
The men whistled and murmured they were getting excited by just looking at the girl alone.
Rosetta was embarrassed by all the things the shameless auctioneer had said about her.
"We start at five hundred thousand dollars" He announced. People started bidding, from one million dollars, two million dollars, two point five million dollars, 3 million dollars the bid kept going on and the price went higher and higher.
"5 million dollars " Another man bid, making Rosetta frightened.
"7 million dollars" another said he was a bald old man that already bought one girl before her.
The price men were bidding for Rosetta continued going up as they all wanted to get their hands on her . She felt vulnerable and helpless; she had never offended anyone or done anything wrong. Neither her nor her grandmother but now she was in such a state.
There was a man seated in a secluded section of the room for the most wealthy people there , he stared at the frightened little girl who looked no less than a lost kitten.
He stared into her innocent distraught eyes smirking darkly, something about her moved him.
"I want her.” He smirked darkly, raising his bidding card "Fifty million dollars" he bid announcing his price.
Everyone had been concentrating their gaze on the girl, as they kept biding for her. Now someone had just bid fifty million dollars for her. It was rare for a girl to be auctioned above ten million dollars but the record had been broken today.
Rosetta was also shocked to hear that the amount was fifty million dollars. Her eyes were wide in shock and mouth opened slightly. She hadn't seen the man who bid such an amount for her and it made her panic.
The auctioneer who was standing next to Rosetta hadn't yet seen the man who bid such a ridiculously high amount for a girl. He felt it would be rude to ask who had done that, so as not to offend the person he didn't bother.
Murmurs and whispers went round the room, one person after the other looked at the one man who sat at the back in the VVIP section of the room, one of his legs crossed over the other.
Then he stood up from his chair and began moving towards the stage.
