Ethan personality was kind , calm and loving whereas Roman was a bit moody person and cold blooded. But for each other they both were very considerate.
It was mid summer, the hospital was not busy that day as not too many patients and Roman was also gone for a business trip in America so Ethan was getting bored and was planning to sleep early after going home as he had nothing to do. When he was going to get his coat hanging on the chair his colleague knocked on the door and came in , he asked Ethan to join a Private auction if he wants to. Ethan was also getting bored so he agreed to go with him. They both decided to go at 11o'clock , Ethan took his car from parking , went home took a warm shower and got ready for the auction which he planned with his colleague. It was already the time so he hurried to the place of auction on the way picking his colleague from his apartment, then they both went to the auction, Ethan didn't asked much about the auction in hospital so on the way he asked his colleague about it .. then he get to know that it's a illegal underground auction of slaves. Ethan was shocked as he never went to such place before but since he had no plans for tonight he thought of giving it a chance and they both reached the place ..
The boxers outside checked them then they both reached inside with masks on their face so no one could recognize them everyone their was wearing a mask.. their was a strong smell of alcohol inside and many people were already inside too. Then the auction started Ethan had no plans of buying anything their firstly but then his eyes went on a girl ,bruised and looking weak like she hadn't eaten anything since weeks nor washed ,she was wearing a white dress but it was dirty like she had been dragged on ground torn from shoulders , no one at the auction bought her since she was looking dirty and weak, then the auction was at end all the other slaves were sold but Ethan's eyes were stuck on her as she was lying in the cage and crying her eyes were wet.
In the end, the host asked everyone if anyone wanna buy her .. but no one wanted her, then out of pity Ethan raised his hand and bought her for 1 million, it was the lowest bid that night and the host agreed on giving her to him. Then everyone went their own way, his colleague too went to club for drinks but Ethan had no plan so he didn't join. Then he went inside the hall and opened the cage, looking at the girl she was still crying and looking weak all over, she gathered all her last strength to look at Ethan face then passed out , Ethan hold her in his hands and took her inside the car and laid her on the back seat and covering her with a thin blanket which he always had in his car.
Then after driving his car for 30 minutes , he reached he reached at his hotel, the largest hotel of Greece owned by his family Ethan and Roman both usually stayed most their time here then at their homes. Then he again held her in his hands and took her to his room which was on the top floor .. the top floor only had two rooms one used by Ethan and other one for Roman .. He took her to his room and laid her on his bed and then took a good look at her face. The more he looked at her the more he wanted to take care of her. It was like a love at first sight for him , he never had such feelings for anyone before.
She was dirty and unconscious. He thought of giving her clean clothes and food for now, so he called a female helper from help desk, a lady came inside the room and Ethan waited outside, and washed her clean from warm water and put her dirty clothes in a basket and went out then Ethan came inside to check on her wounds, she was lying in his bed wearing only his black shirt nothing underneath covering with a blanket .. now Ethan took a good look at her she was cleaned , and he was surprised too she was looking so beautiful the more he look at her face the more he wants her but she was unconscious so he respected her and didn't touch her
He gave her a iv drip and let her rest for a whole day she slept soundly for 18 hours, then she woke up, sitting and rubbing her eyes not knowing where she is alive or dead , dream or reality she was still not fully awake but then she saw a tall handsome guy sitting in front of her on a leather chair looking at her .. she was shocked and covered herself with the blanket she had .. she was timid and scared .. looked at her clothes and tried to understand what had happened with her then in a moment she could understand anything the helper knocked at the door and came inside holding a plate of food .. then the girl on the bed looked at her and as she was hungry looking at the food .. without a second thought she finished the food.
The helper was still here and asked Ethan if she needs to buy new clothes or anything other.. Ethan asked her to go outside so she went .. then Ethan looked at the girl on bed she was still scared .. he tried to comfort her .. stood up from his chair and went straight to the bed beside her .. and assured her she is safe .. then the girl also felt at relieve as Ethan was looking at her with soft eyes she gathered strength and asked him who changed her clothes .. Ethan smiled and assured her it was the helper .. she felt more at ease as she get to know but then before she could think anything Ethan spoke "if i had taken them off i had make sure you are sleeping completely naked covering yourself with my body not clothes" she was completely flushed hearing him say such things with such softness in his eyes.
Then Ethan asked her name .. she was scared but had no other options as she realized that he is some sort of heir and didn't want to create any more problem for herself ... she told him to call her lily .. then told him about her past .. she is an orphan .. used to work at a cruise as a waitress and how she ended up at the auction .. someone kidnapped her and sold her .. that's how her story was .. Ethan looked at her and kissed her forehead and gave her a soft hug .. she was surprised as she had never been treated with such softness and never in her whole life she had received a hug.. she started to cry and realized her emotions are out of control of her.. Ethan sat their without saying anything letting her take her time .. she slept again crying then Ethan stood up cleaned her face with tissues and turned off the light and went to the hospital ..
