"Ladies and Gentleman, ahead of us is the grandprize of tonight. Look at her! so pretty... And don't forget if this woman in front of you is the daughter of the Estrella family. But you know what is more important? this woman is our young master's beloved, Alessio Romanov"
Everyone cheered. Some of them even whistled. Lyra stared at those who were mostly fat old men with distended stomachs who were looking at her pervertedly.
Once his stomach is wrapped around, will he really be sold here?
"good good. I know you're all very enthusiastic. Some of you bring toys to play with at home". The host grinned. Lyra hated him.
"And gentleman... We'll start bidding from this one's cymanis starting at 600 thousand dollars".
Ten people raised the board. One by one they started talking.
"seven hundred thousand dollars"
"eight hundred thousand dollars"
"One million dollars!"
"one million hundred dollars"
"one million two hundred dollars"
Lyra's getting down. Not daring to stare at the crowd of insane people in front of him. How could they do this to her Lyra did not understand at all.
The host chuckled. Clearly happy with how the auction went. Then hit his hammer to attract everyone's attention.
"Wow.. You guys are so enthusiastic, aren't you? Alright. One million two hundred dollars. Anyone want to bid more for this pretty doll?".
Lyra continued to hear the screaming sounds of people trying to buy her at ever-increasing prices. The girl clenched her hands. He did not know how the fate of the other girl. They must be very scared.
If it is sold later. Then it's over. He won't be able to run. They'll certainly lock him up. Lyra felt tight. He has not met his family. How would mommy and daddy be if they knew he was being treated like this?
Then he thought about Alessio. What did the man do this time? he hasn't even said that Lyra loves him.
He doesn't even focus on his surroundings anymore. Until then someone with the final said.
"2 billion dollars!". Lyra's dumbfounded. The girl looked around the room and saw everyone's surprised face.
Two Billion dollars. It is a fantastic price to buy a woman. The host smiled pleasure. "Well, two billion dollars one. two. three.. Is there more?". Everyone dared not lift their boards.
"Two billion dollars went to Mr. Alberto Moretti!"
As soon as the name was called, Lyra raised her face. Then looked at Alberto who was in the middle of the crowd.
He had not yet reacted, and a guard took him away.
Lyra had no idea what was going on. Everything happens suddenly. Starting from the auction event and Alberto who has disappeared for two days arrives now here.
Then he saw the familiar figure of Alberto among the dim lights corridor. The guard violently continued to pull him. Alberto's eyes stared intently at the hand that the guard was dragging.
Alberto is approaching. Then it blocked the hand of the guard who was holding it roughly. "Let him go". His order.
The guard who brought him a slanted smile, "Not before you sign the contract"
Alberto stiffened his jaw. "Where's contract".
The guard behind him pointed at the old man who had been painting his data. Alberto then leaves, Lyra thinks the man will take care of everything.
Then the guard actually threw his body at Alberto. Lyra would have fallen if Alberto hadn't caught her. "Enjoy your girl". The guard laughed. And Alberto looked at him sharply.
"Come, Lyra. We gotta get out of here". Alberto grabbed his hand and pulled it gently.
"Where are we going? Wait for.... How did you get here Alberto?". Cercar Lyra's.
"Don't talk here. Just later". Lyra decided to keep her mouth shut and not protest.
Alberto took her into a room. He had no idea what this room was. But when the door was opened, Lyra swore her heart stopped working right then and there.
Alessio was there. Staring at him was full of relief.
Lyra didn't wait much time to drown herself in Alessio. Hugging him so tightly as to make sure if the man is really real.
Because in fact, Alessio is really real in front of him. The man hugged her very tightly, just as sure if in front of her was true Lyra and not her hallucination form.
Lyra spilled everything in Alessio's arms. All fear and powerlessness. He spilled everything, crying in his arms. He really feels relieved at this time. Lyra did not even care how many pairs of eyes were currently watching her.
"Hiks.. I'm so scared of Alessio. Why so long". Lyra cried while beating Alessio's chest with her fist. I don't know, he's feeling very emotional. Alessio didn't come fast until all this happened. Lyra knew she shouldn't blame Alessio.
Alessio kissed his forehead a few times. As long as it didn't dodge Lyra's punch in the least. He felt he deserved it. "I'm sorry... Please forgive me, my dear".
Lyra nodded. The most important thing now is that Alessio has come. Alessio kept her close even as he gave the command to his men who were never attacked by Lyra.
His head feels very dizzy. Actually, it has been dizzy since he was taken to the stage earlier. But now it feels very dizzy until the fireflies. His body is also very limp —untung course there is Alessio who had previously continued to hold it.
Faintly he could hear gunshots outside. And Alessio kept giving orders. But Lyra did not catch him at all. Because suddenly his body felt very heavy and his legs limp.
He fainted.
......................
"Young man is dehydrated. We suggest giving Ms. an infusion during these few days to replace her lost body fluids"
"Do whatever I don't care, as long as Lyra's back to health".
"Must be young master".
Faintly he heard the sound of conversation between two people. The other one he knew was Alessio from his voice. The other one Lyra doesn't know who it is.
He slowly opened his eyes. Adjust to the light of a well-lit room. He had to blink his eyes repeatedly to clearly recognize the object in front of him was Alessio who was looking at him worriedly.
"Princess, are you awake? don't get up yet. You're still limp". Lyra blinked her eyes a sign she understood.
Alessio continued to talk to the doctor while continuing to stroke his hair. Until then when the doctor wants to go out, so will Alessio who will go. So Lyra clasped her hand.
"Don't go". Lirih.
Alessio gave her a gentle smile then kissed her forehead.
"If you ask. I'll never leave, baby"
