Suddenly, the door burst open and the woman returned. “I forgot to take my basket.” She announced. Everly thought that it was odd for her to smile. When the woman left, Everly sensed that she’dforgottenthe hamper deliberately. She rose to her feet and pretended to go through the clothes. She turned her back to the camera to shield whatever she found. Her heart almost stopped when she saw a piece of paper buried beneath one of the skirts. On it, the woman had written the address of their location. They were still in Chile. She couldn’t wait to share it with Bastian. Everly picked up a skirt and slipped it on. She had to tell Bastian what she had learned—before she was sold.

She slipped from the room and quietly eased down the hallway. There were guards stationed at each door, but none at hers. It seemed Darby was up to something, but she ignored their stern faces and continued to trudge forward. She needed to find Bastian. She had almost reached the end of the hallway and was about to give up, when she found him stationed with anotherman. There was only one way to buy them time. She knew she was risking herself by doing this, but she had to risk it if she wanted to speak with Bastian alone.

“Luis sent for you. He sent me to find you,” she said to the guard standing beside Bastian. The young man was startled for a moment, but then examined her naked chest and smiled. Everly covered herself and glared at him. “Are you going to stand there and keep him waiting?”

The guard nodded and hurried off. Once he was out of sight, she scanned the areas for cameras, and leaned into Bastian’s side.

“Contact Cristian as soon as you can. Here is the address. Darby is planning to sell the girls, including me tonight. He wants to offload the merchandise. There’s someone else coming tonight, I couldn’t hear who, but whoever it is, he’s important.” She handed him the piece of paper.

“I’ll call him as soon as I can.”

“Are you alright?”

Bastian grimaced. “The show—” He swallowed before speaking. “It’s for BDSM lovers. Those women that were brought in the van had just survived weeks of torture. Because they handled what he dished out, it means they are capable of being sold into the rougher side of the sex industry. The men who are coming are sick fucks.”

“What are we going to do?” she asked.

“I’ll send word to Cristian and pray he can get here soon. If not, be ready to make a run for it. I have to get you out of here no matter what.”

"She’smyprizedfemale.”Darby smiled as he walked by Everly. “She’s prettier than anyone I’ve seen in a long while. Even without the virginity, she can still fetch me a lot of money simply for having colored eyes.”

“How much to take her?” The man was eager to see this woman.

Darby drummed his fingers on the table slab for a while. “I’m not willing to sell her at a cheap price.”

“Half a million then?” he asked.

“You’ll make more when you purchase her. You need to increase your price, my friend,” Darby replied.

“Why don’t I see all the women at once?” he asked, growing impatient.

“Perfect. I’m sure if you don’t buy her, there will be someone you will want.” Darby grinned.

He fetched his mobile and dialed Luis’ number. The women had already been cleaned up and dressed. It didn’t take long before they marched into the room. Darby frowned when he noticed that Everly wasn’t with them.

“Where is she?” Darby called Luis aside.

“I didn’t know that you needed her here,” he whispered.

“I do. Go fetch her this instant.”

“Where is your special woman?” the brooding man asked as he ran his gaze over the others. They were all attractive, but not in the way he wanted. Perhaps the one not here would be the one he would want.

Luisburstintotheroom reserved for Everly. It angered him that she still received special treatment from Darby, even after all she put him through. Luis had to obey Darby’s orders because it came directly from the boss. Everly had been staring out the window when he walked in.

“Get out!” she yelled at him, before reaching for some clothes to shield her boobs from him.

Luis scoffed. Staring at her naked body was enough to make him hard. His hand brushed his crotch as he stared at her. He felt like bending her over and fucking her till she went crazy, but he couldn’t touch her. Darby would have his head. Instead, he gave her butt a hard slap. Everly winced under the pressure and sting of his palm, but she held her reaction inside. She hoped that Cristian would kill Luis. She hated him.

When she followed Luis to the holding room, her eyes immediately crashed with Carla’s. They exchanged silent messages in their gaze, knowing any unwelcomed movement would result in harsh punishment.

“She’s really worthy of the hype. I’ll take her.” The man leered at her body, taking in her naked breasts as he licked his lips.

Everly felt disgusted as both men ran their gazes down her body and smiled.

“A million and she’s all yours.”

“Hmm.” The man caressed his chin as he continued to stare. “Sold. I will return with the money in two days.”
