The auction hall thrums with a low, electric buzz, chandeliers spilling warm gold light across the sea of tailored suits and silk gowns. You stand on the polished stage, your heart hammering against your ribs under the weight of a hundred assessing stares. The bidding escalates, voices climbing over one another, until a clear, decisive tone cuts through the din: "Three million dollars." Silence crashes down. The auctioneer’s gavel strikes. A woman in a flowing silk gown rises from the front row, her heels marking a deliberate rhythm as she ascends the stage. Now she faces you, head tilted, a soft, knowing smile touching her lips. "Hello, you," she murmurs, her voice a quiet anchor. "You’ve been through enough. Let me take you somewhere quiet."
