I'm his slave

"Ma, where are we going?"

"Don't ask. Just wear this!" Dad answered me. He throw a see through dress.

Mama fixed my hair and make up before they give me the dress.

I enter my room then change but I don't have the courage to go out. I heard Mama's voice behind my door. "It can show my inner, Ma."

"So what? Stop complaining, Lorraine!" Mama said with annoying tone so I have no choice now. I don't want to upset her anymore because I already know what will happen.

I put a long jacket to cover my body. Mama gives me a skin tone undies and this see through dress is too short. One wrong move and you'll see everything that I want to cover.

"Hey! Lorraine faster!" Dad yelled at me so I finally go out of my room.

"What's that for?" He pointed the jacket. "It's a see through dress, Dad."

Mom rolled her eyes on me. "Let her. We need to go now. I don't want us to be late."

It didn't took us an hour to arrive at a casino. Mama is pulling me now to walk faster. I'm not use to wear heels so it's hard for me to walk.

"Faster!"

When we enter the cassion the lights are already dim and there is only a spotlight pointing the stage but instead of seating with the people on the tables we go straight backstage.

"Follow me," Marlene said after she talks to Mama. She's one of Mama's gay friend. "What about you?" I said to my parents because I'm scared.

"I said don't complain, Lorraine. Just follow what she said. You'll just stand there." She said then she pinch my arm that makes me grown because it hurts.

Without saying anything they turn there back on me and go. As much as I want to follow them I'm scared that I might get hurt when we go home later.

I look around and there are girls also waiting. They all look so confident with there short, tight and see through clothes.

I jump out of shock when Marlene from earlier hit my arm lightly. "What are you waiting for? Go there now. Stupid!"

"H-huh? W-what am I going to do there?"

I look at my back because I heard my parents voice. "Hija, go there now. Give me this." Mama said then remove my jacket even though I don't want to.

"Go hija, we love you."

That was the first time Dad said that they love me so I nodded at them and follow.

There was another gay who guide me towards a black curtain, when I enter it shows s stairs heading to the stage.

A woman is waiting for me. When she hold me to guide in the middle of the stage she smiled before looking at the crowd. "Okay, ladies and gentlemen this girl in front of you is Lorraine Santiago. She's 20 years old, fresh graduate and still virgin-"

She stop talking why the people who start yelling and laughing.

"Still fresh gentelmen. So, shall we start."

And with that I realized what is happening. People starts raising their flash cards by the price that the woman is saying. This is not a joke, this is bidding!

"400 Million?" I can't count how many raise there cards so she started raising the money more.

I saw my parents at a table on the right side they seems happy looking at me. They even show me the fighting sign like they really like what is happening.

I want to cry. I want to shout. Why are they doing this? What am I to them? I am there daughter for God's sake and this is not what parents are doing to there children.

The woman got my attention when she called me. "Lorraine that guy is your new boss. He bought you for 1 billion pesos." (Pesos is Philippines money)

Is that my worth? Am I only 1 billion pesos for this people. My life is not a joke. I am also a human and I also have feelings.

I didn't saw the guy she was pointing. I don't know what gotten to me but I just follow what she said. She guide me back to the backstage and there my tears starts falling. I tried to wipe it but it keeps falling.

Marlene welcome me with a smile also my parents. "You're the highest girl that we sell in the bidding. You're lucky, Lorraine."

Mama and Dad welcome me with a hug. "Thank you, Marlene. Don't forget the payment." He nodded at Mama.

"Mama why are you doing this to me? I am you daughter! How could you!"

I didn't control my anger this is the first time I raise my voice to her. I saw Marlene shock at me because I don't always talk when she's around.

I saw Mama smiled at Marlene. "Excuse me," she said and leave us.

Mama hold my arm and pulls me to the side because other people is also looking at us because of my voice. They both look mad.

"Mama, it hurts."

"You just humiliated me! You deserve more than this." She said.

When she said I deserve more means that she will hurt me more physically. I am use to be beat up by them that is why as much as possible I want to follow them instead to saying what inside my head.

"How many times do I have to tell you stop complaining." Mama's nail is poking into my skin now so it hurts more but I didn't focus on that.

"Mama, Dad, I am your daughter. Why are you like this? I grew up being beaten up by you two but this is over the belt now. How could you sell your own daughter!"

Dad makes Mama move and he grab my jaw tightly. "Aww. Dad. It hurts." I complain. My tears are falling again.

"You think I will do this to you if you're my daughter? You're just an outsider who share roof with us. You should be thankful that we give you food and clothes!"

That was like a bomb to me. I am shock and I don't know what to react. An outsider ha.

"Dad," My voice crack.

"Don't call me Dad. You're not my daughter. I don't have daughter!" He said then slap my face.

I am not there daughter then where is my real parents? Why did they let me be with them. All this time! This explain why they are so hard when it comes to me, I am not there daughter. My tears are flooding.

It's not hard but it still hurt. Is this night can get any worst? Why is my life like this. Sometimes I just want to end my life.

"Mr. Alejandre is waiting outside." A man said. "Let's go." Marlene said to us when he heard the man's message.

"Wipe your tears," Mama whispered with strong voice.

There is a guys in black suit boredly waiting for us. If this is a normal day I will say that he's hot and handsome but a bit scary because of his deep dark eyes and his strong jaw line. He also has this italian aura that gives me goosebumps. He's tall, seems like almost 6 footer.

"Mr. Alejandre," the man who approach us said. He stand up properly and look at me so I look away. I can't look at him now. I am really really tired from everything.

"Good evening, Mr. Alejandre. This is my daughter Lorraine Santiago." Dad said then shake his hand with him.

"She's ready now," Mama added.

I don't want to speak myself more because I know I cannot do anything now.

Mr. Alejandre nodded with us then face the man who approach us earlier. "Let's go home." He had with his deep husky voice. Then the man guide me.

I am just following Mr. Alejandre until we reach a black car. I think the man who approach us is his body guard and he open the door for me. The two man sits in front of us, one for the drive and one for the passenger seat. 

I sat at the end of the car. I don't want to touch or interact with him. I saw him at my periperal view that he remove his coat.

"Wear this and stop crying it's annoying." He said without looking. "Thank you," it was almost a whisper.

I wear his coat and it is big to me so it can cover my body.

No one speak the whole time. His body guard open the door for the both of us again. As soon as I get out I saw his big house. No it's not a house, I think this is a mansion. The exterior design is mixed with modern and old italian style houses.

I simply follow him. "Matthew," I thought he is talking to someone or calling someone but when he stop and look at me I was startle. I blink my eyes twice.

"I am Matthew," He said.

I slowly nodded. "Lorraine,"
