"You will come to my residence. And will become my woman. I want you!" 22 year-old Laura is tricked into becoming an auction item on the black market, plunging her deeper into the darkness and violence of the world. She is held captive by the black market owner, Mr. Aidan. Inevitably she complies with all the requests of Mr. Aidan, who is five years older than her, albeit reluctantly. She reaches her lowest point when her younger sister dies of an illness. Things escalate when Mr. Paul, the man who wants Laura, enlists Mr. Jack's help to destroy Aidan for taking Laura from his arms. Mr. Jack has a personal grudge against the Bowel Group–Aidan's family company. Unhappy Laura continues to rebel against Aidan's stubborn nature. His harsh and abusive nature scares Laura, but she can also see the soft side of Aidan's cruelty. Without realizing it, Laura and Aidan have the same feelings. Does Laura choose to continue hurting his heart? Or give all her love to Aidan? And also, how does Aidan deal with his enemies to take revenge on them?
"Oh no! I'm late," Laura said as she put on her shoes and walked out of the house. Tonight her makeup looked different than usual.
Laura quickly ordered a taxi to take her to the place they had promised.
"Is this really the place?" asked Laura as she paid for the taxi. She walked a little nervously into a place she had never been before.
The music was loud. The smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol wafted through the room. People were dancing and laughing, making Laura dizzy in the dark.
Laura swayed slightly and fell into someone's arms. "I caught you," the man said clearly in Laura's ear. Laura looked up to see who it was.
"O-oh, I'm sorry," said Laura, who immediately stood up straight as she pulled down the very short and tight dress on her body.
"Are you Laura Anastasia?" the man asked, looking sharply at Laura.
"Yes, I'm Laura," said Laura, looking suspiciously at the man in front of her. "Is he my first client?" wondered Laura who looked frightened.
The aura of the man in front of her now radiated darkness, giving Laura goosebumps all over her body.
"The master is waiting. Follow me," the well-built man said as he walked out.
Laura stayed where she was. "What are you waiting for? Let's go! Shall I break your smooth legs first?" the man with the scary face asked.
Laura shook her head, "I-I think I should cancel this appointment, excuse me," said Laura who changed her mind, she wanted to go back home and sleep with her sister.
Laura's hand was restrained, "What you said is useless now!" said the man who then pulled Laura out of the nightclub.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" said Laura with all her might. She even deliberately stomped on the man's feet with her high heels.
"Aargg! How inconvenient!" said the man as he lifted Laura's body onto his shoulders. Then he threw her into the car.
"Aaaa! Let me go! I want to go home! I'm canceling this deal!" said Laura, who continued to kick.
The man was furious and punched Laura in the face so hard that she crashed into the body of the car. Soon darkness overcame Laura's consciousness.
Laura awoke to the faint sound of many women crying.
Laura was about to get up when she felt her hands tied and her mouth covered with a cloth.
"Why am I tied up like this?" muttered Laura softly.
"God, do I really have to let myself go tonight? With this scary man?" Laura said in her heart. She closed her eyes, as if there was no point in praying at this moment.
Laura had no other way to earn money, she needed money immediately for her sister's expensive hospital bills, and her sister was the only family she had at the moment after her parents died in a car accident a few years ago.
Laura frowned as she noticed something. The sound of a woman crying not far from where she had woken up. She immediately looked around, where she saw several women standing in a line, crying. "Oh my God, where am I?" Laura said to herself as she struggled to get out of the stopped car.
Laura kicked open the car door, hoping to escape when she sensed something was wrong.
The man from earlier now approached Laura in the car.
"Get down!" the man said flatly, sending a shiver down Laura's spine.
Laura did not get down until she was dragged out of the car and fell to the asphalt, unable to keep up with his strength.
Now Laura's brow furrowed in surprise as she saw a dock where a ship was docked and many men dressed in black were standing guard around the ship.
Again, Laura was forced to stand roughly. Bad feelings filled her mind. She rebelled with all her strength despite her bound hands.
BUGH!
"AKH!!!" said the man who had kicked her most sensitive part.
Laura ran with all her might. "Hey! Where are you running to?" said another man who was also chasing Laura.
Tears were already streaming down her face, making her vision blurry. They easily caught Laura running in an indeterminate direction.
Laura received blow after blow until she could no longer walk properly. "Mercy... Please let me go! Please, mr!" said Laura with a weakened body and crying.
Without another word, the man lifted Laura onto his shoulders and carried her to the boat.
She felt that all the men here were planning something bad for her, but Laura didn't know what it was.
Laura continued to babble incoherently as her mouth was bound with a cloth. She rebelled and tried to break free with the last of her strength.
"Shut up or you'll die right now!" said the man carrying Laura's body, sending a shiver down her spine.
Laura was dropped into a line with several other crying women in worse condition than herself. She was even more frightened when she saw another woman being beaten in front of her for rebelling. This made Laura look down in fear.
******
Aidan Bowie, someone who always manages to scare the people around him just by looking at them. He is someone who is quiet but moves like an angel of death.
On the black market, the name Aidan Bowie is feared by everyone who hears it. It was as if the man could move wherever he was spoken of.
His tall body with a broad back and a firm chest, his handsome face with a firm jaw and nose, his small lips with a slightly thick pink color added to the attractiveness of his good looks.
Now he smoked the roll of tobacco in his hand one by one.
At this time, the dock was quiet in the early morning hours. There was only Aidan and a few of his men carrying ten women for him to sell to other cities or countries.
Dressed in a thick black jacket and a hat that covered half of his face in the darkness of the night, he moved quickly to get the women he would sell onto the ship. No matter the origin of the women he brought with him, all that mattered was that he would get the fruits of his labor that night.
The sound of crying from all the young women he had captured could be heard faintly. They held back their cries, knowing that Aidan didn't like the sound of crying, and that they would be beaten afterwards.
"Mr. Aidan, the client is waiting for his girls. The girls are now complete," said the man who brought Laura to the venue.
Aiden nodded his head. "Quickly put them all in the hold of the ship, keep them tied up," said Aidan, who was standing between the dock and the not too big ship, so as not to be seen by the surrounding guards. With a cigarette in his hand, he felt calmer and focused on his surroundings.
Several of his men stood guard around the dock to keep an eye on security.
Aidan watched as one by one the women lined up to board the ship, their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths covered with cloth tied to the back of their heads.
And the eighth woman stopped in front of Aidan, who was also standing.
The woman looked at Aidan sadly. The beautiful eyes, filled with tears, made Aidan feel hypnotized.
With what strength he had left, he struggled a bit until the bonds on him were loosened.
The woman ran and knelt before Aidan with a cold look on her face. "Mr, I beg you to forgive me for whatever I have done wrong, even if I don't know what it is! Please let me go mr, I have a little sister at home who is sick and needs care and there is no one else who can take care of her," the woman said with tears in her eyes, which did not make Aidan care about the woman kneeling in front of him.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Get up and get in the ship!" said one of Aidan's men as he dragged Laura and threw her into the bowels of the ship.
"Damn... You really are damned. Aaaa!" With what strength she had left, Laura stared at a glass bottle on the table. She had to figure out how to get it back.
She saw the big man move, one of his hands reaching for the rope hanging above. Laura didn't want to waste the opportunity. Her foot kicked the big man's possession, causing him great pain. Meanwhile, Laura quickly grabbed the glass bottle and threw it right in front of Aidan's face.
Everyone was silent as the glass bottle hit Aidan in the face.
Fresh blood flowed from Aidan's face. His eagle eyes pierced everyone who looked at them.
"Damn it! You're wasting my time! Take him to my car!" Aidan ordered in his baritone voice that could thrill anyone who heard it.
Now Laura was being dragged by the hand by one of the other big men. It was useless for Laura to resist. She couldn't, because the big man's strength was far greater than hers.
He pushed her into Aidan's expensive car.
Inside the car there was only Laura and Aidan. Just as Laura looked up, her neck was strangled, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Mister... Aaaa... Let go!" One of Laura's hands tried to pull Aidan's hand away from her throat. But it was useless. They couldn't!
"This is the reward for a rebellious woman like you!" Indeed, the fresh blood flowing down Aidan's face now dripped onto her hand.
"You're so evil! You're a liar! I had no idea you weren't a good person!" Laura said through her pain.
Before Laura went to the nightclub, she exchanged messages with Aidan. The message was very sweet. It was so sweet that it lulled Laura. That was the reason why she decided to have a one night stand with Aidan. Because she saw how Aidan treated her when he interacted with her through text messages.
But the reality was different. Laura's life was unhappy and miserable.
Laura cried and apologized to her sister over and over again. If she couldn't be a protector for her sister in the end.
Seeing Laura shed tears somehow softened Aidan's heart, which had been as hard as a rock. Slowly, the grip around Laura's neck began to loosen.
"I will forgive you this time. Come out now, do as they say and don't argue anymore! Before I change my mind and kill you!"
Laura quickly opened the car door. Just as she stepped out of the car, her hands were already tightly cuffed by the two big men from before.
All the women who had been targeted tonight had entered the ship.
In the car, Aidan was silent, staring at the departure of the ship, which was getting farther and farther away.
BUGH!
"Fuck! Why do I feel sorry for this crying woman?" Aidan asked himself with an increasingly cold face and visible veins popping out around his forehead.
The handsome, well-respected man got out of the car. Just as he got out of the car, Aidan had suddenly punched his men in the stomach, leaving his men in pain from such an impromptu attack.
"Mercy, mr, we apologize. We also don't know if this woman dared to do such a thing, forgive us mr," Aidan's subordinate said, lowering his head because he didn't dare to look his master in the eyes.
Aidan, already angry, threw his cigarette on the street and stomped it out.
He walked back to his car, leaving the men who were still lined up with their heads deeply bowed.
His steady footsteps, when his emotions were running high, made his aura even more frightening.
He walked from the dock to the place where he worked and lived every day.
With a cigarette in his hand, his feet on the table, he read the contract of the woman he had sold from the previous delivery. Not forgetting the amount of money that had just been deposited in his bank account.
But damn it, the face of Laura, kneeling and pleading with him a few hours ago, kept ringing in his head. "Her eyes are beautiful," Aiden said subconsciously.
"Arg! Looks like I need some alcohol," Aidan muttered, wiping his dizzy forehead.
He swirled the glass in his hand, then downed the contents of the glass, which did not make him flinch as it had when he was unaccustomed to alcohol.
Aidan carried a bottle of Red Wind and a glass into his office. He was not too focused on reading the contract now because his eyesight was getting weaker.
Several times Aidan forced himself to read, but to no avail, he was truly in an unfocused state. All he could remember was the woman who had knelt in front of him and then thrown a bottle in his face a few hours earlier.
Aidan massaged his forehead again, which was beginning to feel dizzy. "Why does that mercenary's face keep popping into my head? Why can't I forget her?" asked Aidan in a hoarse voice.
Then Aidan called one of the bodyguards. And he said, "Stop the ship. Bring back the woman who made a scene earlier!
Has Aidan changed his mind? What is Aidan going to do with Laura?
