episode -03
In the dimly lit hallway auction house owner strides ahead, his shoes clicking against the marble like a countdown. My own steps are quieter. Practiced, Never drawing attention unless commanded.
My chest tightened with each step, leading me to the new "master" and my mind raced with
Will this one be any different?
The question gnawed at me, but I already knew the answer. They never were. Rich men didn’t buy broken things like me to cherish them. They bought them to use until they grew bored.
I will be discarded—like always.
The room looms, its double doors swung wide like a mouth—*The door creaked open!* — revealing a dimly room lit by flickering candlelight
the owner stepped inside first.—This is where everything changes(A lie I have told myself before)
I hesitated—just a breath, just a second—before forcing myself forward.
The man before me was like a painting come to life—raven-black hair, sky-blue eyes that held the chill of deep water, and a gaze sharp as a wolf’s. Every detail, from the perfect arch of his brows to the nearly invisible mole on his cheek, was crafted to enchant–A devil–I thought. Or an angel. Both seduce with beauty, but only one hides claws behind the allure.
The auction owner’s hissed warning snapped me back to reality—Bow!—he whispered, bent low like a servant.
I didn’t move.I won’t kneel to a man who brought me
???
Just as I thought. Prideful ❄️
His voice is like the rest of him—tempting yet dangerous.
Elena
Good thing.You’re not as dumb as you look
I smirked, defiance burning in my chest
*A chuckle, deep and cold, rolled through the room*
???
You killed two men.Impressive for a caged bird.❄️
He mused, as if discussing the weather.
Elena
Then why buy me? Do you want to be the third?*tilting her chin up*
???
*A slow smirk curls his lips*
*The auction owner sputtered*—Shut your mouth, woma-
his command sliced through the air
The auction Owner scurried away, but not without a hissed warning to me—Don’t be stupid.

[please think/imagine her appearance as i describe in the previous episode😅]
He is indeed powerful. Even the worms fear him as he closed the door, pulse steady.
???
Say what you were saying ❄️
???
Of course to use you❄️
*Dug Her fingers into her dress*Another monster
???
Not the way you think, I need someone who won't stab me in the back.❄️
Elena
*snap and look at him*
???
I have an offer for you, miss Elena ❄️*cold smile*
???
Be my assistant... or my bodyguard.❄️
Elena
A bodyguard? You could hire professionals.
???
Professionals betray. But you? You've got nothing left to lose.❄️
Elena
You want me as your bodyguard? *She laughed bitterly* I kill men like you!
???
*He tossed a dagger at her feet*Protect me, and I' II free you from this place. Or try to kill me now.
A beat of silence. The candlelight flickers, casting his face in half-darkness. The dagger gleamed
Elena
How am I suppose to know it's not a devil's offer?
???
Trust is the deadliest game, miss Elena. So play wisely.
Elena
What if I still refuse?
His Smile vanishes. And I could feel the room being chill
???
The next bidder won't ask so nicely ❄️*said Soft, deadly*
Elena
... Why me? *Whispers*
A pause. The clock ticks.
???
Because I like prideful women.*said in a sweet way*
