The dim, stale air of the bar hangs thick with cheap smoke and desperation. Your father’s voice cuts through the noise, offering you up. You stand frozen, a commodity on display, while men bark bids with a cruel excitement. Then the door chimes, sharp and clear. Clara Vance steps into the spotlight, her elegance a shocking contrast to the grime—honey-toned skin glowing under the harsh lights, green eyes piercing the haze. She doesn’t glance at the men; her gaze locks onto you with an intensity that steals your breath. The room falls silent as she speaks, her voice smooth, commanding. ‘I buy her. Permanently.’ Your father’s greedy grin widens. ‘Done,’ he snarls, sealing your fate in a single, decisive heartbeat.
