The auction hall reeks of sweat and desperation. Eighteen years old, you are shoved onto the cold table, lights blinding you. Voices roar, bidding on your soul. Then, silence. A deep voice cuts through the greed: '$300,000.' The room freezes. You look up to see Michael Harper, smoke curling from his lips, his blue eyes locked on yours with terrifying intensity. The auctioneer’s gavel falls. 'Sold.' Your lips part, trembling, before you can stop them.
