Chapter 3

Saanvi's p.o.v

A girl in her mid-twenties stepped on the stage, shivering.The girl was not from our country. She was a foreigner for sure. She also had a mask on her face just like me.

" Please welcome our first girl, age 25, blonde hair, blue eyes, height 5 '8".....", She said, presenting the girl like she is presenting a thing to sell.

I felt disgusted towards her. Being a woman,she was hoisting this Auction.

I was able to hear the sound of men, bidding to buy her. I was feeling so scared. Tears were flowing down my eyes.

I was continuously praying to God to save me somehow and I promised that I would never do such a stupid thing again.

I heard the girl was sold for One crore. I was shocked when I heard the amount.

Suddenly the woman pushed me on the stage which was darkened.

A spotlight fell on me, making me cover my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around but I wasn't able to see anything because below the stage, everything was dark.

I wasn't able to see the mafia men,who were sitting below the stage.

I shivered, feeling many lustful eyes on me.

" Hazel eyes beauty, black hairs, height 5 '2", an orphan. The most important thing about her is …..She is a VIRGIN ... .I am sure many of you want a virgin girl to have an heir with her …..She is a perfect material to make a wife or a mistress…of course the choice is yours gentlemen.", She said laughing, making me shiver in fear.

" The bidding starts from fifty Lakh. ", She said.

" Sixty Lakh"

" 90 Lakh"

" One Crore",

" 3 Crore",

" Twenty crore",

" Twenty Crore", a dominant voice said, making everyone gasp.

" Twenty Crore once….. Twenty Crore twice…..", the hostess said.

I can't believe someone bid twenty Crore for me.

" Twenty Crore thrice ... .Sold!!", She announced, sealing my fate.

Later the same woman took me outside. She led the way, taking me somewhere.

“ Your luck is very bad”, she said, making me a little scared.

“ I am sure you have heard the name of Kal(काल)....the most dangerous mafia leader of our country….. It's rumored that more than 90% of our country is under his control including politicians….He is one of the most cruel and ruthless men”, the woman told me.

“ Yes!! I have heard about him..but no one knows how he looks…But why are you telling me about him?…don't tell me he is ....”, I asked shivering, wanting her to deny it.

“ Yes!! He is the one who bought you ... .The most ruthless and cruel mafia leader had bought you…”, the woman said, making me shiver.

My body was trembling thinking about the dangerous man.

She took me inside a room and made me sit on the bed before going outside. I removed the mask feeling suffocating.

I was sitting on the bed thinking about how to escape from here when I felt the room opening.

A man wearing black dress, who looks like a bodyguard, entered the room.

“ Boss will be here soon…”, the man said, without gazing at me.

He stood at the door, guarding it.

I was looking at my hands on my lap, trying to control my anxiety.

Soon I heard the sound of footsteps coming towards the room. I turned my gaze towards the door, wanting to see the devil who had bought me.

I saw the man walking in,his tall, powerful frame commanding attention,his chiseled features and strong jawline exuding a sense of authority. His piercing dark black eyes scanned the room with a confident gaze.

His gaze stopped at me and he looked at me, narrowing his eyes.

My eyes widened when my eyes met with his familiar black eyes. I was looking at him shockingly.

“ You…”, I said,with shocked expressions. I was looking at him with my mouth wide open.

He is known other than Vedanth Randhawa,the heir to the Randhawa family and eldest cousin of Ishika.

“ How can he be KAL?? How can he be the mafia leader??”, I thought in my mind.

I looked away from him, feeling the dominating aura radiating from him.

He approached me with a purposeful stride,his eyes fixed intently on mine.

“ What the hell are you doing here ??”He asked me angrily, standing right in front of me.

“I…..you are KAL?”, I questioned him.

“ I don't like to repeat myself”, he said in his dominating voice, making me shiver slightly.

“ I was tricked. One of my classmates invited me to a party and then she drugged me before selling me here”, I told him the truth.

“ Why the hell did you go to that party?”, he asked me, raising his voice.

“ She was forcing me”, I whispered.

“ What?? Do you have a brain or not?? She said and you went to the party? Did Ishika know about this party?”, he asked me.

I shaked my head in denial.

“ Great!! Just great!! Do you even know the trouble you're in?”, he said angrily, making me flinch.

“ What if I wasn't present here? You have no idea what would have happened to you today”, he said angrily, making me scared.

“ Why did you buy me? Or you have the habit of buying girls to fulfill your desires?”, I asked, feeling scared as well as angry.

“ What did you say?? Say it again?”, he asked, raising his voice, leaning towards my face.

“ Why did you buy me?”, I asked again.

“ I don't have to buy girls to fulfill my desire. Girls die on my looks….They are ready to cross every limit just at the sight of me…..I bought you because of your pendant….. because I was the one who had given these two exclusive pendants to Ishika. And I know Ishika had given one to you ... .Due to which I was able to recognise you ... .I bid on you so I can help you ... .or you want those men to buy you and use you as they please??”, he asked me, roaring.

I shaked my head in denial, knowing my mistake.

“ Sorry”, I mumbled,for questioning him.

“ Arun”, Vedanth shouted loudly.

Soon a young man entered the room with a bag.

“ Wear these and get ready for the marriage”, Vedanth said, giving me the bag.

“ Marriage…. which marriage”, I asked him with hesitation.

“ Our marriage”, he replied like it wasn't a big deal.

“ What?? I am not…. marrying you”, I replied, not wanting to get married.
