Auctioned to the Armitage Brothers by Daniella Wright

“There are private auctions, held by the wealthy elite of this city.
It may be your only option for a better life for you and your daughter.
But I have to ask, are you still able to bear children?”

The chills run through my spine.
But what other option do I have?

A single mom.
A convicted, abusive ex-husband.
A world that is crumbling.

What else can I ask for?
I will keep my daughter safe, no matter the cost.

“OK”, I said.
“Sign me in.”

Four days later, a letter shows up in my mailbox:

“Dear Mrs. Robson,

Mr. Armitage is a pillar of the Chicago community, and is the CEO of Armitage pharmaceuticals.
They are an extremely wealthy household, and I am sure you will settle in very nicely there.
As for what services you will be providing, Mr. Armitage is looking for…”

But I couldn’t read anymore.
Oh Lord…

What did I get myself into!?
