Stella could not see where she was going. She knew they were transporting her elsewhere from the bumpy ride in the car. The car finally stopped after some time.
Stella could not see or speak. However, she could hear the sound in her ears and some noisy music in the background.
She was sensitive to music and could vaguely guess she was outside a bar. Unfortunately, she had no chance to escape with the two burly men guarding her side.
She did not have anything that could be used as a weapon. She had only managed to hide a razor blade that she had found when they took her to the car earlier, She could cut the rope, but that would be too much trouble. Anyway, she would have no way to fight against them.
They never removed the black cloth over her eyes and just kept her blindfolded. The people next to her dragged her forward by the arm. She could not speak and stumbled a little.
The men were getting a little impatient. One of them hissed, âYouâre too slow!â
Then, he picked her up and carried her inside.
The men thought she had no vision, but the black cloth was not that thick. When the light was brighter, she could see a little. However, she could only make out blurred shadows. She could not see the barâs sign.
They were walking in a long hallway as the noise and music outside were getting further away.
She reckoned they were taking her to a quiet or private place. It might be a secret trading place. Finally, they came to the door of a room and stopped.
When the door opened, they threw her in.
Thud! She fell directly to the ground.
Stella frowned and cried out in pain, but she could not make a sound with the mouth gag.
She hit the ground so hard that the pain was unbearable.
She had yet to recover from the fall when there was a sudden sound of leather shoes walking in front of her. It came from far away and gradually stopped in front of her. She felt a man standing in front of her and crouching down. Stella had a bad feeling. As expected, the man removed her blindfold. When she opened her eyes, she saw a fat and disgusting man staring at her with greedy eyes. The fat man narrowed his eyes and examined her as if she was an item for sale. He just kept checking her out.
âNot bad, not bad at allâ¦â He tipped her chin and twisted her face left and right to examine her.
âSheâs good-looking. Sheâs pretty! I like it!â he said and suddenly touched her chin to feel her skin.
Then, the enthusiasm in his eyes grew. âI really like her soft skin. Itâs so smooth! Good! Itâs been a long time since Iâve seen such soft skin.â
The fat men thought only teenagers would have such good skin. Unfortunately for him, it was way too risky to get his hands on teenage girls. Things would be difficult if someone caught him red-handed.
Teenagers were young, but they were not well developed yet. It was not fun to play with them.
He clicked his tongue twice and asked, âSheâs in her twenties, right?â
âEarly twenties,â said a man in the back. The middle-aged man was extremely satisfied with his purchase. He looked like he wanted to strip her naked at once.
He picked her up again and looked at the curves on her body. He kept nodding and said, âThatâs several million dollars well spentâ¦â
Stella was disgusted and panicking at the same time. However, she was a little confused when she heard him say several million.
He might have bought her with several million, but the two men who had kidnapped her had also made several million. That meant, if she was sold⦠it would not be a one-time deal. Perhaps, the buyer might change hands and sell her off again.
A chill rose from her spine. She kept telling herself to calm down, but she could not help but shiver in fear.
