Episode 1: Charlotte’s Mysterious Night
I sat quietly, letting my aunt work her magic. The sounds from the club filtered through the door.
It was loud, energetic—just another night at the place my aunt owned.
My role here was always behind the scenes, cleaning up after everyone else. But tonight was different.
My aunt had surprised me earlier.
She handed me a stunning golden gown, covered in glittering beads, and a pair of high heels that looked as though they belonged on the red carpet.
"What is happening?" I thought. This wasn't the way things usually went.
"Ta-da!" My aunt grinned, stepping back to admire her work as I opened my eyes.

I could hardly believe the reflection staring back at me—a version of myself I had never seen.
"Why now?" I thought, my heart pounding.
My aunt had never been this kind before, not since my parents passed away.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Charlotte, you’ll see soon enough," she said, her gaze fixed on me.
I could sense something strange in the air but couldn't quite put my finger on it.
As I slipped into the heels, my nerves tightened.
I didn't know what was about to happen, but I knew better than to ask more questions.
I followed my aunt out into the club, the lights dimmed to soft, glowing hues, my gown catching every reflection.
The Auction Unfolds
The energy shifted as we entered the main room.
The crowd was lively, their eyes darting toward the stage. "Compose yourself," my aunt instructed, her voice cutting through the noise.
I glanced around, seeing other young women dressed in equally extravagant outfits, each looking as confused as I felt.
The music came to a halt, and my aunt took the stage.
With a bright smile, she greeted the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to meet our special guests for the evening," she announced, as if we were part of some grand spectacle.
My heart sank as the girls began walking across the stage, each one flaunting the outfit they had been dressed in.

I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should follow, but a quick look from my aunt told me I didn’t have a choice.
When I finally stepped onto the stage, I kept my gaze on the floor, trying to avoid the stares of the crowd.
John's Perspective
I was sitting at a table with my friend Davis when the music stopped. "Look at these girls, John.
Stunning!" Davis said, nudging me. I shrugged, uninterested.
I had better things to do than watch a bunch of people parade around.
But then I saw her.
I froze. She wasn’t like the others. Her beauty was natural, captivating.
My heart skipped a beat as I watched her. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
The auction started. Numbers were thrown around—$300, $500, $700.
None of it registered with me until I heard the bid reach $1,000.
Without thinking, I stood up.
"$1,000!" I shouted, my voice loud enough to surprise even myself.
Davis stared at me, wide-eyed. "John, are you serious? That's a lot of money."
But I couldn’t look away.
The room grew silent as my bid echoed through the club.
All eyes were on me, but I only cared about one pair—hers.
"Going once, going twice… Sold!" My aunt's voice rang out.
The night wasn’t over, not by a long shot.
