The Mafia Alpha’s Twisted Games

The night air was stiffed and Janice couldn't even help more than inhaled the perfume she had sprayed on her body. As the days pass, this side of the town was slowly turning into a dump and she wonder why the council loves having their monthly auction meeting there. Perhaps, this is her first time of attending the council meeting ever since she got out of coma but she had heard stories about the dark side of the town where the meetings take place. Once she passed there with her mother and she thought she was going to die. Then she requested that the driver returns her back home after her mother dropped at the meeting. She would have also been at home today, trying to remember what type of life she had lived before going into coma or who she was but that wasn't possible. Her parents took an emergency flight to the United Kingdom to attend to an important business in their branch there and ordered her to show up on their behalf. She was against it for a while, but her father, a man of steel held no room for her to argue more and her name was registered for the meeting that night. Then here she is, in her black silhouette dress that the back hung below, giving the world a show of how sleek her skin was. And lucky it was perfectly hiding that tattoo that she had no idea of how she had gotten it. "Thank you." She said to the driver as he parked outside the huge building and she slowly dropped out of the car. The only thing with her at the moment was her phone, one of her numerous black card and a lipstick, in case she will need it later in the night. Her mother had briefed her about what to do when she gets to the council meeting block. Go into the reception, get her card number after giving them her full name and the family business number then she will shown her sit. It was that simple and that was what she was going to do. Until she found a very long line, ahead of her and she began to wonder what type of auction really happens here and why do people this much have to be here. The last time, she heard her father saying that the organization had decided to take other mafia from different part of the world and maybe, that was why the place was filled. With a heavy mind, she joined the queue, making sure she doesn't look interesting to anyone; she has no intention of having a chit chat really. And luckily for her, it was her turn because it was actually two people that were attending to the council members. "Name ma'am." The first receptionist whose name read Marie asked. "Janice Nacole Carter." She replied and the young lady typed away on her laptop. "Family business number ma'am." The lady asked again. Apparently, the reason why they ask for family number is to confirm of you are really the one and if the picture of the person standing in front of them is the one of the organization, not a fraud. On a normal day, she would have gotten angry but this is business and she doesn't want to the reason why her parents missed something important. "3791NC." She whispered and the lady got it, typing away. The end of the family business number has to do with the name the family bears and that was theirs. NC stands for Nacole Carter. "Have a great night, Miss Janice." The lady uttered passing her a number card and she offered her a fake smile before following the hallway she had seen almost everyone following. She later found herself in a big hall, filled with different type of people looking at her. The man especially looked like they were going to take her and feast on her. She was scared, with the way a man was grinning at her, despite someone who looked like his wife sitting beside him but she held a straight face and looked for her seat number. On her card number, she was 24 and soon, she found the chair with three more people seated on there. She swallowed before gathering her courage and headed towards there. She was the last person to complete her and when they saw her coming close to them, the lady amongst them began to whisper to the man beside her. "Bunch of hypocrite." She mumbled under her breathe before taking a sit. She made sure to turn her entire attention after she was done greeting until she heard the lady talking. "You must Janice." The lady who seemed to be in her late thirties asked. And Janice gave her a nod. "Then welcome to the family. I am Julia Aitken and this is my husband Sam Aitken. Then this is Isaac Wilson." The lady introduced and Janice had to face them all with a smile, to sure her respect as her mother had thought her. "It is a pleasure meeting you all." She said with a fake smile. It was a total lie, she never wished she had spoken to then in the first place but then, her father would have definitely found out that she acted rude on her first day and he will leash it out on her. Julia was about to say another word when the mic was turned on and the presenter asked for uttermost silent. That really made Janice happy that she couldn't hide it. Here, she got to see different type of people that she is not even sure about what their personality is going to be. "Before we go into the main event and the closing event, I will like to welcome all the new members that had registered and made it here. It is our pleasure to have you here." The presenter said with a bow and the hall was filled with claps. She didn't even look at her hands, take more of clapping. All she wants to do is know what the main event is and the closing event then she will be the first to leave the hall because she doesn't have any more time to waste there. — According to the presenter, there was going to be two auctions and the first one was going to art and jewelleries. She was okay with it since she was into that. A picture of the nature by davinci was brought up the stage and it was bided for three thousand dollars. She was interested in it and when she was about to lift up her card, a man beats her to it. He bided the art painting for four thousand dollars and that was when the real bidding began. At the end, the art painting was sold for ten thousand dollars to someone she didn't even get their name because she wasn't paying attention. That was how the bidding continued. "Won't you purchase anything?" Julia asked. Julia and her husband had just won the bid of a vintage car used by Queen Diana. Janice really wants to know how the organization gets things like this because nothing is making sense to her. "Not yet." Came her short reply. She was about to pick her phone when a trolley was rolled on the stage and the cover on the trolley was taken off. There was a sapphire diamond jewelry set and it really did catch her eyes. If she doesn't like it then her mother who is also a fan of jewelries will really like and she decided to win that for her mother. "The vintage Tiffany sapphire diamond will be going for eight thousand dollars." The presenter announced and she lifted her card up. "Nine thousand dollars." She told him because that was the first thing that came to her mind. Another person lifted their card and she heard eleven thousand dollars. That was much but she would not allow anyone to take it home except her. "Twelve thousand dollars." She screamed. The presenter chuckled asking the crowd if there is anyone interested before he will sell it to her that way and she heard a voice boomed through the hall. She had no idea who that voice belonged to but she could feel herself shuddering in lust due to the effect the voice had on her. "Twenty one thousand dollars." The voice had said. Janice had no time to think because the pressure was too much on her. "Twenty five thousand dollars." She said, having no idea of the amount she had called because the money was not really an issue for her. "It seems the thing is getting heated as Mr. Alvaro had offered thirty thousand dollars for this beauty." The presenter announced and the crowd erupted with a loud noise. Janice had heard this name before but she wasn't sure of which of the Alvaro is fighting for the jewelry with her. But all she knows is that she won't accept defeat. "Forty thousand dollars." She offered, earning a gasp and she smirked. After the count of ten, she was announced as the winner of the bidding. People continued to point hands at her as she was asked to fill in the payment form. The form was taken away when she was done then she noticed Julia had been looking at her with a glass of wine. "Are you okay?" Julia asked. "Yes, why do you ask?" Janice responded. Julia nodded her head no before passing her a glass of wine and she noticed that the tables were served with two different dishes. They were given time to enjoy their meal before the seconding auction takes placing. Janice only took a little of the milk cake and used the wine to wash it down. She wiped her mouth like a young lady would when she was done and waited patiently for the seconding bidding. — A part of Janice was disgust that the second auction had to be human trafficking. It breaks her heart to see young ladies been sold as if they are goods and she couldn't even buy one because she doesn't support the part of this organization. She heard Julia telling her husband that they should buy the male slave that was brought in and was bided for three thousand dollars. Luckily for them, they really won. She watched then in disgust as they celebrated. "I need to get out of here fast." She told herself, fanning her neck side. A few moments later, the auction was done and the presenter returned. "Now, the voting event is that Sir J. Alvaro was going to have a word with us but something important happened and he had to take care of it fast, hence he will later pass it around through email. Thank you so much for attending the monthly meeting. You may enjoy the rest of your night." The presenter ended with a bow and that earned him a clap from the crowd. Well, he really deserved it for standing in front of almost seventy people and walking away with them. So nice if you would ask Janice but it can never be her. She picked her bag and stood to leave when Julia stopped her. "Here, you can call me when you need a friend." Julia said passing her a business card and pulling her into a hug. It took Janice much of her sanity to calm down and not push Julia away from her. Finally, Julia let her go and she flashed stem a smile leaving. She is sure that the rest will stay and waste the rest of their nights there. Janice had a quick stop at the reception where she enquired about the jewelry she had won and she was informed that it will delivered to her in the morning, anything by ten in the morning. She thanked them before turning on her heels to leave. "Janice Nacole Carter." That particular voice that drove her crazy called her and she took a turned, coming face to face with Lord Javier Alvaro himself.
