CHAPTER TWO

ANGELA

I woke up in a room filled with young girls of different sizes and shapes, some were older, somewhere younger, somewhere slim others were chubby.

"What am I doing here?" I asked no one in particular and as expected I didn't get any replies.

I sat up from my lying position and tried to survey the area, it was then I realized I had been kidnapped. My heart sank into my stomach and I thought about my uncle, they must be waiting for me by now. I cried within me, my phone had been taken away from me including my box and I wondered for how long I had been here.

The main door opened to two men walked into the room carrying a bag of sachet water and a tray of porridge.

The one who carried the tray of porridge placed it on the floor in the middle of the room then he raised his head and announced. "Food is ready! Do it so at to look good!"

Everyone in the room rushed to the tray and started to devour the food hungrily, they acted as if they had not eaten for days.

The other one placed the bag of sachet water on the floor beside them and they made to leave when my thunder voice stopped them.

"What the hell is this place?" I asked fearlessly and they turned around to behold the woman who had spoken.

"Are you not hungry?" The man who had carried the tray asked staring at me surprisingly.

I moved closer to them my fist folded in a blow and my legs set ready for war, I tilted my head back and forth in an attempt to scare them, but they also were ready for war.

They folded their fist also in a blow, moving towards me with the same energy I was charging toward them.

They moved closer to me, with the same pace I was using, we covered the distance between us slowly, they thought they would win over the girl in front of them. They were oblivious to the fact that I had a pocket scalpel, it was always with me and went everywhere with me.

Even now, the scalpel lay useless in my pocket, but not for too long. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out my scalpel as they were close enough, and the other guy had attacked me first with a blow which I dodged immediately.

Bending down and letting his hand pass over my head, I cut through his leg and I watched his blood gushing out freely as it stained my white shirt.

"Arrgh!" He screamed out in pain and I let out a grin. The other girls had finished eating their food and were now watching the unfolding drama cowardly, and cheering at every punch I dodged.

They would boo at the men, whenever my knives cut through their skin, and they also did the same whenever their punch got me.

"Come on don't be scared", I said fiercely as they started taking steps backward. I rushed them again with the knife targeting their vital parts.

They didn't give up either, they released punches in different directions and I wasn't able to dodge them all. One of them was able to hit off my weapon and it came crashing onto the floor.

I tried to reach for it but I couldn't so I decided to do it hand to hand-with them.

"Now that's enough young girl", one of them said but I wasn't ready to give up.

"I said that's enough", he barked yet I didn't pay any attention to him, I continued to release punches into different parts of their body, but still their vital parts were my main target.

I had injured them severely and they were bleeding all over.

One of them cornered me from the back and was able to capture me. Holding tight onto my hands as it was twisted to my back, he breathed heavily into my ear as hot air from his nostril landed freely on my neck.

"Stop what you're doing young lady, we don't mean any harm", he said yet I kept on protesting.

"Let me go! Let me go I have no business here!" I barked trying to free myself from his grip but he was stronger.

Noticing that I was too strong to handle and wasn't ready to give up, they decided to calm me down and explain things to me nicely.

"It wasn't our fault that we had brought you here, it wasn't our intention to hurt you young lady, but your uncle had sold you to our master, you have the right to stay calm as we are going to put you on auction", the other guy explained and I fell to the ground helplessly.

Noticing how slimy I was as I lowered to the ground, he didn't struggle with me, he just freed me from his grip and the both of them left the room.

I was broken and disappointed, I was completely taken aback. I shouldn't have trusted my uncle, I was such a fool. I had let my uncle deceive me, I had fallen for his pretense that he liked me.

If I had known it was only a disguise to sell me off. I cried bitterly yet my tears were not enough, there was nothing I could do as they did have already been done.

Later that day, all the girls were brought out and displayed in front of a lot of men who looked wealthy, most of them had annoying potbellies.

I was placed at a very high price and announced as a virgin, almost all the men wanted to buy me for themselves. I felt very irritated and cried so much in my heart for the wickedness of my uncle.

Who would ever believe that someday I will be sold like an ordinary slave, just when my life was about to get better? My dad and mom must be so disappointed. I didn't know what my fate would be after being sold out.

Probably a sex doll, or something worse.

I was trying so hard to control my tears, but my eyes and emotions were beginning to fail me, strands of tears started dropping down my cheeks freely and I couldn't help it.

A young man stood up and bid the highest price "900.. Million dollars", he said looking around with so much pride on his face.

I admired him and wondered why a good-looking man like that would indulge in such ugly business. He was well built, tall, and very handsome, with dark hair with blue dazzling eyes.

"Any other bidder with a higher price?" Damon, the Mafia lord who I had been sold to, and who was also in charge of selling the girls asked and there was no response.

Damon had a pot belly and a very horrible figure, and I hated him the moment I set my eyes on him, even more, when I realized I was sold to him. According to him, our lives were in his hands, he owned us and he would do whatever he liked with us.

"No one?" He asked as his eyes hovered around the whole building. "So Blake's she is!" He announced joyously and the so-called Blake took his hands.

They both locked hands in a handshake for a few minutes before Blake ordered his men to prepare me and take me to his car.

I cried so much not knowing what the future holds for me, I didn't know where I would be taken to and what I would be doing there. I wished the whole world would just come to an end, I cried and regretted my parents ever died.

I cursed my uncle from my heart for making me pass through all of this.
