A friend or an enemy

Author's POV:

"Shit!" Said Amara Kaytlyn and clenched her fist.

"Why did they withdraw their bid," she asked herself.

She was worried about the women who would be ruined because of what was happening, they could not be ruined, she had to find a way to save them.

She talked to the announcer who was with her. She knew the bidders saw her but why did they drop?

She knows how to sing and dance, if they can't be convinced by her dance, maybe they can be convinced if she sings and dances.

"It's up to you if you want to sell yourself?", the announcer suddenly asked her.

"They dropped but it's up to you to decide whether to continue auctioning yourself or not, but since the top three mafia bosses have dropped, they are no longer included in the auction," he said.

Amara Kaytlyn doesn't know if Lady V is really here or even Sean Gabriel.

In today's situation, she can only trust herself.

She spoke into the microphone that she's holding, "I still auction myself and I would like to start it to 3 billion, whoever can buy me, I will make sure that he doesn't regret it" she said. And the music she was going to sing began to play. She sang it and she also started dancing in the most flirtatious way she knew. Even if she doesn't see the people behind that mirror, she approaches it and stares at the mirror even though she doesn't know if anyone is also staring at her. As her song and dance were about to end, she saw the only door that was there open and a man entered, she saw them talking.

After she finished, the announcer also spoke but that man still didn't leave.

"Since the top three mafia bosses Lady V, Knight and Guardian withdrew their bid, Lady Hera was bought by mafia bosses number 5,6,7 which were Shadow, Dark, thunder and the worth is 5 billion and it's final, goodbye everyone", the announcer stated.

After the announcer spoke, Amara Kaytlyn took the dress she had taken off earlier and put it on. The man held out her palm earlier and he accepted it and pulled her out of the door they had entered earlier. She felt him squeeze her hand he was holding.

"I'm Dark", he said to her, his voice is baritone and she also noticed his strong hands, he's also tall like Sean Gabriel. He just let him squeeze her hand.

"So, Lady V was here, how about Sean Gabriel?" she asks herself. She remembers that the man with the name Devon told her that Sean Gabriel also among the mafia bosses.

"The women whose in Devon's hands, don't worry they were released earlier, thanks to you kind lady", he said.

"How can I make sure that they are safe?", Amara Kaytlyn asked. He suddenly stopped and he reached over her hand that was holding it and one of its hands encircled her waist. "Devon isn't lying when he says you're so fragrant, I've bought a lot of women here but you're different from everyone," he said and brought his face closer to hers. "We have one word here when we say we will, then we will" he added. Amara Kaytyln stared at the man and she noticed the sadness in his blue eyes. "He's not a bad person," said Amara Kaytlyn's mind. She felt something good lurking in this person's heart.

He was almost embracing her waist when he has guided her to an elevator and they went to the very top of the building and a helicopter was waiting for them. "How can I run away?" Amara Kaytlyn thought.

"Don't think of running away or escaping sweetheart" he whispered in her left ear as they sat and the helicopter started to rise in the air.

She felt him tighten his embrace even more on her waist and his face was already on her neck, sniffing her neck. But Amara Kaytlyn's eyes are alert, it's a good thing she can't be statued even if the man is close to her, unlike Sean Gabriel's presence that she loses the right mood when it's close to her.

"I thought there were three of you that bought me, why are you the only one I see?", asked Amara Kaytlyn who slightly moved her body away from the man.

"That was part of the plan, my own plan actually", he said admitting it.

The helicopter landed in the yard of a large house surrounded by tall fences and he saw scattered people also carrying weapons. The man came out first and grabbed her tightly by the hand and pulled her inside the big house. Beautiful women lined up in the same clothes that she thought were their uniforms but their uniforms were very sexy and way too revealing. They walked up the huge staircase and he guided her to a huge room. Amara Kaytlyn just sighed when she heard the door they entered been locked. The man stood in front of her and stared at her intently. She also stared at the man.

He chuckles and caresses her hair.

"Take a bath first sweetheart, inside that closet, were clothes that suit your taste," he said then leave the room.

Amara Kaytlyn was left inside and opened the closet that the man said, the beautiful clothes were exposed in front of her and she was amazed to see it's her own brand and she was not mistaken, her designs were all there. Her own clothing line is all in the closet.

"Does he know me?" she thought.

She just ignored it, she had to compose herself, she opened a door and she saw the vast bathroom.

She saw the big bathtub and she filled it with water, she did not need lukewarm water, she needed cold water to awaken her spirit, to relax her mind, and for her to be able to think of a good plan.

"I can't stay here for too long," she thought.

She closed her eyes tightly. She savored the sweetness of feeling immersed in cold water.

Unaware that she had fallen asleep, her spirit awoke when she felt someone staring at her, she slowly opened her eyes and she saw the man who introduced himself as Dark.

He is staring intently at her and she notices that he already changed his clothes and his hair is still wet. "Done bathing?" she asked him.

"Why? you want me to join you, sweetheart?" he asked back.

"No" she answered.

"We will, in the future", he stated smirking.

"Just finish your bath and come to bed, I'll wait for you", he said and went outside the bathroom.

Amara Kaytlyn finished her shower and wrapped the towel on her body as she steps out of the bathroom.

She was still alone in the room, she thought the man was there but there was none, she hurriedly got dressed, she was wearing a lace nightgown. She dried her hair with a towel she had taken from the closet when the man entered.

She saw him open a drawer in the dresser with the mirror on which she now faced sitting. She was shocked when he took the towel used to dry her hair and now he was carrying a hairdryer and turned it on and started to dry her hair.

She just let it go. She stared at the man's reflection in the mirror. He is handsome.

"Do you know me?" Amara Kaytlyn asked to break the silence between them.

"Amara Kaytlyn Anderson," he said which makes her shiver.

"Yes, I know you, sweetheart, I am your number one fan and admirer," he said leaning closer to her, sniffing her hair, caressing her bare shoulders.

"Amara Kaytlyn" he hissed.

"Your name suits you, sweetheart," he said.

"Come and let's go to sleep, I know you're tired and I'm tired too," he said and pulled her to the large size bed. Amara Kaytlyn just let it go. They lay down on the big bed. Amara Kaytlyn turned around and the man hugged her from behind. She felt herself, she didn't feel anything weird, "maybe he wouldn't force me into something I didn't want to do", she thought.

Just a few moments, she felt drowsy, the man's breathing was also peaceful, a sign that he was already asleep.

==============================

Sean Gabriel met in person with Lady V and Knight as well as Shadow and Thunder. He finds out that Dark bought Amara Kaytlyn, he knows Dark, this is the buyer of all the innocent women that Devon is selling, he is simmering with anger, Devon and Dark planned it well.

Inside the room where they were staying, they each had two guards with them, he was now with Chase and Hunter and he saw how Knight and Hunter stared at each other. He hasn't gathered any information on Hunter yet, it looks like old Knight has something to do with it.

"I don't know you're in arrears Knight but why are you so interested in my wife?" Sean Gabriel asked.

Knight wasn't surprised when he said that his wife was Amara Kaytlyn. Hunter already reported it to him. He already knew that Sean Gabriel Ford was no other than the youngest mafia boss Guardian.

"I see him as a daughter, don't worry I'll help you get him out from Dark," he said, anger and concern in his voice.

"Why don't you ask Lady V?" Knight asked him.

Lady V suddenly spoke out.

"She belongs to my group and she's my top one agent named Lady Hera of five Thorns," Lady V said loudly to the surprise of Knight, Shadow, Thunder, Chase, and Hunter except for Sean Gabriel because he found out earlier.

"So, she's the famous and mysterious Lady Hera?" Shadow spoke and stares at the two women wearing a masked behind Lady V.

"And these two maybe Lady Circe, Artemis, Nemesis, or Iris?" Thunder asked.

Lady V just ignored the two. "Let's end it here, I think Lady Hera can handle herself," she said and immediately leave the room. But she already had her own plan in mind.

Sean Gabriel stared at the people inside the room as if he's saying that all information they've talked about in this room will be sealed. He first bowed his head a little bit and as their gesture of respect, all of them bowed to each other.
