Used, Betrayed, Gone Chapter 03 (Continue)
The next day, screenshots from a dark web livestream exploded across
the internet.
The images showed me beneath Caspian, moving like some shameless. woman devoted to his pleasure.
My face had been censored, yet anyone who knew me could recognize me instantly. The starry sky tattoo on my collarbone, identical to his, had become a permanent stain on my life.
When I logged into the dark web, the livestream was still running.
The auctioneer held up a stack of photos and began the bidding. “Highest bidder wins. You’ll get the full set of sex tapes, and the woman appears uncensored in high definition. Bidding starts now!”
The moment I saw the photos in his hand, my eyes widened in shock as a freezing chill ran through me.
The man in the video wasn’t Caspian.
The train car looked exactly the same. The starry sky outside the window looked the same. The only difference was the man on top of me, who was a complete stranger.
A crushing wave of despair surged through me, and I immediately called Caspian.
“What exactly happened that night?”
Laughter burst from the other end of the line, overlapping with the laughter coming from the livestream.
Caspian scoffed. “You seriously think I’d touch you? That gigolo I hired just slipped you a little something.
“I wasn’t planning to tell you the truth, but you made Rina upset that day, so this is the price you have to pay.”
My heart shattered instantly.
I couldn’t say a single word.
Caspian continued coldly. “Josephine, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you going to behave and keep being my puppet?”
My eyes burned red as I stared at the livestream.
Bidders in the crowd had already begun raising their paddles.
“Eight hundred thousand dollars!”
“One million dollars!”
“One million and six hundred thousand dollars!”
The higher the price climbed, the more excited the atmosphere
became.
One bidder even whistled and shouted across the room, “If I win, I’ll loop this video all over the internet so everyone can enjoy it!
“This is Ms. Calloway. That arrogant woman always acts so high and mighty. I once tried to buy her a drink and she cursed me out. Let’s see
how she survives this!”
Caspian stayed silent on the phone, clearly waiting for my answer.
He knew perfectly well that if those videos were released, my life would be completely destroyed.
Time trickled by until the final bid stopped at six million dollars.
The auctioneer began counting down. “Six million dollars, going
once!”
“Six million dollars, going twice!”
A low, lazy chuckle came through the phone.
“This is your last chance.”
I still said nothing.
Then, the gavel fell.
Blood surged up my throat, and I coughed violently before collapsing onto the desk as darkness swallowed my vision.
Just before I lost consciousness, I heard Sabrina’s voice through the phone. “How boring. She’s already coughing up blood.”
