However, just before the silly man was about to talk, Alicia's legs suddenly quivered and before they could fathom what was going on, she fell on her knees. Almost immediately, Reed rushed towards her like a maniac and held her hands barely touching her temperature. He knew that her system had been tampered with but the strange thing was that he could not fathom what exactly it was.With bloodshot eyes, he looked at the man whose heart skipped multiple beats. “What have you done to her?”“Sir, she is always made to take shots so that at exactly this hour, she can dance for men for thousands of dollars.” Her friend hurriedly explained, not wanting to be worried about anything. After all, this man has come to save them. “What?”It wasn't enough that she was sold illegally and they did this to her? What other atrocities had they committed against this young lady that he could not even think of?He wondered as he felt his cousin's body twist. Only then did he realize the effect of ever

“Who sent this?” Reed wondered in shock as he collected the package from the courier. For a while, he wondered who would have perfectly known his location. Just as he was about to say something else, the man handed over a pen to him. “Please sign here to show that the package was gotten from you” The man said again. Only then did Reed did as he was told. Almost immediately that the man left, he tore opened the paper to see that it was an invitation letter from someone with a perfect address. However, he could not seem to understand who this was from. Just then, his phone rang. At once, he could sense that it was his brother that called. Looking at his sister, he knew whom he was about to ask. Immediately, he swiped the call. “I've been trying to reach you, bro. I thought about it again and I realized that you shouldn't do what you're about to do. These people are dangerous and they would….”Staring at the package, he walked out of the room. At once, his head became full with an

“Mr Reed!” A soft feminine voice called out in the middle of the unfamiliar faces the moment he entered the bidding room. For some people, he'd seen them on TV while some, he never knew. However, one thing was certain - they all were Billionaires that came around to attend the program that was held at the centre of the city annually. Just as he turned around, he noticed the young woman dressed in an oval strapless gown that barely reached her knees. “Thanks for inviting me over,” Reed said curtly the moment he shook hands with her while she tucked her perfectly trimmed hair behind her head. It turned out that she overheard her uncle telling his lawyers about some sort of shares as a reward for him since he didn't seem to find her worthy anymore and so, she realized she had to do everything possible to prove herself worthy to him even if it meant going out with someone like him. “You're welcome. So… we could go around to see what is in for bidding before the program starts” She of

“How did I not see the beauty in this?” A cold stern looking man asked as he observed the natural ruby. For a start, he was known as Fabian- the greatest naturalist’s assistant. They went about gathering a lot of natural valuables and craft them into something else- more like fake to sell to rich people. However, they were too naive to understand that whatever he and his boss sold were just not original and hence, they took the original ones to themselves. On seeing the treasure in Reed's hands, he could not help but want it. At first, he'd called the person who auctioned the natural ruby. However, the man claimed to have sold the last piece to the bidder earlier who turned out to be Reed. Hence, he could not let go of it. Fabian was sure that if he brought the ruby to his boss, there would be great reward for him. After all, he and his boss did not seem to be on good terms for a while now because they had internal issues. “Boy, let me have this. I will pay you a million dollars”
