Sold To The Wicked Him

“Lea, I want to give you something”

Picking up something on the bag where files he brought with him was, Lea was confused about what he was about to give. Somehow, it made her feel like… it was something big.

Offering her the envelope, as she sat in her bed with her back leaning on the pillow, she look at the envelope she was now holding.

“What is this?”

But Aiden did not answer and just had a smile on his face. Smile that he doesn’t usually wear. Smile that no one knows why he started doing so.

“This…”

The moment she opens the envelope, Lea can’t help but look at Aiden… Asking him about what that was.

“This is…”

A small chuckle escaped his lips. Explaining the reason why he did so, Lea just listened to his words.

“Yes. I feel wrong owning you with that mere paper”

That is his contract when he bought Lea in the auction. All the rights are now passed down to her. Stating that she is no longer his possession and has her own rights. As someone who isn’t a slave.

‘But I never feel like a slave though… other than when he asked me to do the dutchy files of the dutchy…’

“Why are you…”

“I investigated the reason why you fall in that auction place”

‘I can’t probably tell her that it was what I saw in her diary… can I?’NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

He hid the chuckle he was about to give, looking at Lea he mumbled.

“You are now free. Lea… I am setting you free”

“Why…”

Can’t believe of what she heard, it really didn’t cross her mind that he would do that. his actions before, his actions that he showed her this past few weeks, and the actions that he did today, Lea can’t help but wonder if he is still the Aiden she know.

The Aiden she knows…

‘Will he do this? Why do I doubt he would?’

That Aiden that leave her the very first time he brought her with him as they visit his company…

That very Aiden who leave her in the hospital the moment the doctor said she was doing fine…

That Aiden that didn’t bother seeing her for days…

“I don’t understand…”

Why am I like this? I don’t find any anger on him like I used to do… is it because of those things I knew?

‘He finally fight his fears, isn’t my son great? I never thought he can finally remove his fear in hospitals… hah, Claudia, our son is getting matured day by day. I feel old…’

Ever since she got in the hospital, if it isn’t Mira, Mr. Menandro would be there to visit her. Even Sylphia would drop by and talk with her. She learned lots of things. Things she didn’t know before. Things that she didn’t even realize occurring if not for them telling.

“I am setting you free. You can go back in your grandmother’s house after Paul and the others are put in jail. You can also go anywhere you like to, I put some properties in your name”

“Why are you doing this?”

“You can go overseas. Find the places you want to go to”

But no matter how much she ask, Aiden just keeps on telling her those things.

“Aiden”

“I even fixed your passport and all the documents. You can do what you want now”

“Aiden, answer me. What are these for?”

“Money is not the issue, I will send you monthly allowance-”

Shouting at him as he doesn’t really want to answer what she wanted to know, that is when she saw how Aiden turned silent.

“Aiden stop! What are all of this for? I don’t need your money… I need answers. Why are giving all of that to me? I already told you it isn’t your fault”

But instead of an answer, again, he bring up that smile that he have with him.

“I have to go, take a good rest”

Forming a fist as she clench the folder she was holding, she can’t help but me mad.

‘What is wrong with him…’

…

“Aiden, I mean, Mr. Lazarus… are things ready?”

A lady wearing red dress and red mask then smile at Aiden who was wearing a black suit and mask.

“I would be worried if you would call me like that again”

“What? it is only us who is here, and even if they hear it, it is not as if they still have the chance to sing us out”

Smirking as she look at the big screen, many people wearing mask are attending this party for exclusives. It is a party who hides the auction behind its grand get along. But unlike some exclusive auctions, there are just a chosen few who can enter that place.

“Are you sure about this?”

“I am always sure. Since that time I saw how filthy they are, I had the urge to wipe them clean”

Looking at the screen, it wouldn’t be a calm night like what all people think it would be.

“Right, now that I remember, you also meet her in an event like this… right?”

“Mira… or should I call you Minerva Olfara”

Giggling as she heard that name, Mira can’t help but smirk. She was aware that she can’t hide her identity forever. And at last, it was already busted.

“I was there that time. It took me time to recall it though. So that is why she looks so familiar. You bought her in an auction huh”

“And what is the Presiden’t’s daughter doing in an event like that?”

Smirking, she saw how Aiden drinks the glass of wine on his hand.

“The daughter of the president is dead, didn’t she dies in the GALA”

“I thought so too, now I wonder”

Lights then started to give life in the place as music gets a bit louder and the crowd gets busier.

“Thank you for sponsoring this event, Mr. Lazarus. This is a big contribution in the growth of the future”

“Forgive me first lady but I care no less, as long as you leave Paul and some rascals for me. I am more than happy”

Chuckling, it was a bit nostalgic for Mira to hear someone state her as first lady. Ever since her mother died and her father seat in the position of the president, people would always call her that.

‘To think someone would still address me that way… Lea sure got some interesting people around her. I am really lucky to got across her path’

“Sure thing, my aim are those pigs and alligators, I will leave that racoon to you”

A knock was then heard and soon the door opened.

“Madame, everything is prepared”

“Alright, let the fun begin”
