Into The Devil’s Heart

Audrey stood on the spot with light shining directly on her pale silky body, hundreds of eyes staring at her in lust and desire.

She was dressed in a pair of black lingerie, with a black cloth covering her face.

She was the last girl to be brought up at the auction center and the one with the highest bidding.

“Here’s our last and top, most beautiful offer we have for you. But, she won’t be sold directly, the highest bidder takes her home” the auctioneer chanted, the silence of the room was broken by a sudden bid,

” One million dollars!” A brown hair man said.

“Two million!” A chairman interjected.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Three! Four, five…” The bidding continues as the filthy rich men keep on bidding, with each one of them wanting to take her.

Audrey was weak, but her sense was still intact. She heard them bidding on her like a piece of property, and it hurts to know this is happening to her now, all because of her dad.

“Stop!” Audrey yelled all of a sudden, causing the room to grow deathly silent as they all stared at her in shock and awe.

She couldn’t see their faces because of the cloak on her face, but she could picture the expressions.

“You all don’t get the right to price me out like an animal with no sense of their own, I am a human, a girl, someone’s child” Her voice grew softer, she tried so much not to break into tears, even though they won’t see her cry.

“I am entitled to choose, even if I can’t fight for my freedom at least I can choose whom to be my master, to serve all my life” She yells, turning round as if able to see them.

“And that I will do, I won’t let you sell me off like a dog. I am not one and will never be.”

“You!” She points to the man in the gold-like chair at the center of the room. Everyone gasped in surprise at how bold and daring she was.

Cannon’s brow raised in amusement,” me!?” His low bass-like voice resonated in the room, sending chills of superiority and bringing everyone down to their knees.

But Audrey was hellbent on sticking to it as she stood her ground, unwaveringly. She knew she had put herself into a bigger mess, but there was no backing out.

Audrey is a strong-willed lady, always standing for the choices she makes and what she believes in.

“Yes, you” She was so bold that she was confused and surprised, but she didn’t lose focus as she stayed firm standing like a seductress undercover who is willing to walk into the world of lust and hungry men.

“I want to go with you!” She said the word she never believed she could say it. She’s indirectly offering herself to a stranger she doesn’t know, and she has never seen.

For the first time, Cannon let out chilling laughter. “Too bad, I don’t find interest in you” he mocks,” Taking you will be a waste of my money, can do better things with it”

This got Audrey fuming. What does he mean by that?

“Are you saying I ain’t beautiful enough to be qualified as one of your possessions?” She asked with anger evident in her voice.

It is unclear to her why she’s this angry with what he said, she should be happy, but she isn’t. He makes her feel like she is just like any other girl.

“Not while you still have that cloak on, but” his gaze traveled down her silky body, his lips lifted in what seemed like a smile,” you ain’t that bad, but not my type” his words grew colder.

Instead of backing down, Audrey was hellbent on making him take her.

“It’s not like you have a choice!” She said,” I am going with you”

Cannon’s gaze lowered to the tiny figure before him, she was indeed a daring little bunny.

He steps down from his gold-like chair, his long legs taking long strides toward her. Out of instinct, she moves two steps back upon hearing the approaching footsteps.

“Scared” he mocks. He was now standing before her, towering over her like a giant.

She could barely reach his shoulders.

Audrey shakes her head in denial, as she tries so much to keep herself intact, she can’t let him see she’s scared.

He leaned down to her level, their faces were just an inch away from each other.

His gold-like eyes stare at her.

“Better run little bunny, you are about to sell yourself to the devil” He whispers to her ears.

Audrey swallows hard as sweat forms on her face. Thank god for the cloak, no one could see her frightened face.

“What’s worth serving a human meanwhile I can serve the devil directly!” She said, Cannon, smiled.

“Ready to dive into the deepest part of darkness, huh? ” His hands caress her arms, and she shivers in response.” Such a responsive bun,” he said, seeing her reaction to his touch.

” That’s nothing to what I want,” she said, “I am ready to ride with you into the devil’s heart! ” She sounded bold and sure of herself, but deep inside, she was shivering.

” Stop Audrey, you’ll get things worse, just let them do their bidding and whoever wins takes you” the good part of her spoke, in her mind.

” No! You can’t just sit back and watch them sell you off like a f*cling pussy, you have to do this, remember you are worth making your own choices at least! ” The dark side said. She was stuck on what to say. She didn’t have the luxury of time to think as his words almost got her to scream but luckily, she was able to bite her lips.

“You don’t have to, not when you are willingly offering yourself to the devil himself” he moves around, circling her. ” And you know what he’s capable of doing, torture is what he’s good at”

“If I am standing before the devil himself, then” she pauses before continuing, “I am ready to ride into his heart” She was bold.

” You don’t seem to be scared of darkness, do you? ” He tilts his head to the side.

” Not when I’ve spent my every second in darkness,” She said, trying so hard not to cry.

” I am ready to be consumed by the darkness in hell, to be bound to you for as long as I live and afterlife if only you make me yours! “She spoke out in a confident and decisive tone.

” Little bunny,” he was more than amused,” you don’t make a deal with the devil! ” He warns.

That didn’t scare her, as she spoke out.” I already have”

He let out devilish laughter, as the building vibrates in response as if experiencing an earthquake.

His gaze travels back to the bunny,” SHE IS MINE.” His tone was so firm, claiming her before the Mafia Lords.
