It's been two days since I've been locked in here. They're feeding me once a day, just enough to keep me alive, I guess.
I overheard two of them talking-they're planning to sell me. I never thought I'd end up in a situation like this.
I can't blame Vihaan for this. I wanted him. I still do, even now, until my last breath.
The door creaked open, letting sunlight flood the room, devouring the darkness. I squeezed my eyes shut against the sudden burst of light.
When I opened them, I saw Lucas standing there, impeccably dressed in a suit, his hands in his pockets. He removed his glasses and knelt in front of me.
"Look at you-how miserable you've become," he sneered, laughing. "It seems he has no idea where you are, and I can't keep you here much longer. You're not much of a profit for me, so I'm moving on to Plan B."
"And what's that?" I asked, trying to muster courage I never knew I had until I met Vihaan.
His finger trailed from my shoulder down to my wrist as he said, "To sell you."
I wasn't exactly surprised-I had overheard his men talking about it-but the reality still terrified me. I'd rather die than be sold.
"I want to play too," one of his men said, holding a gun with a twisted smile.
Lucas glanced at him, then back at me. "After me," he replied coldly.
Disgust surged through me. I wanted to kill him, or maybe just end it all right here and now.
"Feed her and dress her up. The guests will be here by 8 PM," he ordered before leaving the room. Two women entered- likely his other slaves, judging by the emptiness in their eyes.

"Her location hasn't changed," Avi said, leaning against the doorframe with a glass of wine in hand. "From what we've gathered, they're planning to sell her tonight-trafficking and all that."
I rose from the edge of the bed, unlocking the safety of my gun before tucking it into the back of my pants.
"He'll fail miserably, and die an even worse death," I muttered, tightening my tie as I looked into the mirror.
"Tell everyone to get ready. We leave in an hour," I added, and Avi nodded in response.
"You're not much far from me, Alisha," I whispered to myself as I gazed out the window into the vast, darkening sky. "I'll make him bleed tears of blood."
