Tanny Precious

"One million," A man seated at the corner of the room called out, raising his paddle.
My heart pounded louder with each bid. The men sneered, their eyes devouring me like I was a piece of meat. My body trembled as I rubbed my sweaty hands on my clothes.
The bids went higher and higher until there were just two men left.
"Three million," the chubby man declared, impatient evident in his tone.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"Five million," A stranger countered, raising his paddle.
My eyes widened in shock as I tried to figure out who this stranger was. The room was filled with murmurs and no one could counter the stranger.
The auctioneer's gavel slammed down.
"Sold!"
Leila Flynn, 19 years old, struggles to keep her ailing brother alive, and her life takes a dark turn when she is suddenly kidnapped into London's underworld auction.

Under Dominic's protection, Leila tries to uncover his true intentions while also developing a subtle emotional connection with his brother, Luca.
In this dangerous game of love, betrayal, and revenge, Leila must decide whether to place her trust in Dominic or sever all ties with his perilous world once and for all.

What do you do when your sister's ex-boyfriend whom she dumped turns out to be a Spanish Prince and chooses to marry you to get revenge on her?
"This isn't fair," Leah screamed again. "Why on earth would Prince Estefan choose Rhea over me?"
Leah's eyes landed on me and her face turned red in anger. "You!" She pointed her finger at me. "You did this, didn't you? You must have said something to Estefan that's why he chose you. No wonder you were so negative about us getting married. I should have noticed it that time."
My eyes widened at her accusations. "Leah, What are you talking about? I don't know anything about this. Trust me, I don't want to get married to Estefan. All this came to me as a surprise."
"Stop pretending." She yelled at me and I jumped back in fear. "You have always wanted to be with Estefan that's why you got close to his sister. You and his sister must have done something to make him choose."
"What are you talking about? I did no such thing, I would never do something like that to you." I cried.
"Enough." She raised her hand to stop me. "I should have realized sooner that you are a green snake under the green grass, waiting for the right time to strike."

Olivia thought her life was going to be perfect after she was adopted at a legal age by the Brookes couple, who were well-known businessmen in New York.
She later found out that the reason for her adoption was only for a marriage agreement because the Brookes couple only had a male child and needed a female child to fulfill their end of the bargain.
Things got worse for Olivia when she realized her fiance, Kellan hated her to the core and had another woman in his life, and she had no choice but to go through with the marriage.
Will Olivia be able to survive all the troubles she would go through in the hands of Kellan and his girlfriend who would do anything to get rid of her?

¿Qué haces cuando el exnovio de tu hermana, a quien ella dejó, resulta ser un Príncipe Español y elige casarse contigo para vengarse de ella?
—Esto no es justo —gritó Leah nuevamente—. ¿Por qué demonios el Príncipe Estefan elegiría a Rhea en lugar de a mí?
Los ojos de Leah se posaron en mí y su rostro se puso rojo de ira.
—¡Tú! —me señaló con el dedo—. Tú hiciste esto, ¿verdad? Debiste haberle dicho algo a Estefan, por eso te eligió a ti. Con razón eras tan negativa sobre nuestro matrimonio. Debería haberlo notado en ese momento.
Mis ojos se abrieron ante sus acusaciones.
—Leah, ¿de qué estás hablando? No sé nada de esto. Créeme, no quiero casarme con Estefan. Todo esto me tomó por sorpresa.
—Deja de fingir —me gritó y di un salto atrás de miedo—. Siempre has querido estar con Estefan, por eso te acercaste a su hermana. Tú y su hermana deben haber hecho algo para que él te eligiera.
—¿De qué estás hablando? No hice nada de eso, nunca te haría algo así —lloré.
—Suficiente —levantó la mano para detenerme—. Debería haberme dado cuenta antes de que eres una serpiente verde bajo la hierba verde, esperando el momento adecuado para atacar.

O que você faz quando o ex-namorado da sua irmã, que ela dispensou, acaba sendo um Príncipe Espanhol e escolhe se casar com você para se vingar dela?
"Isso não é justo," Leah gritou novamente. "Por que diabos o Príncipe Estefan escolheria a Rhea em vez de mim?"
Os olhos de Leah pousaram em mim e seu rosto ficou vermelho de raiva. "Você!" Ela apontou o dedo para mim. "Foi você que fez isso, não foi? Você deve ter dito algo para o Estefan, por isso ele te escolheu. Não é à toa que você foi tão negativa sobre nós nos casarmos. Eu deveria ter percebido isso naquela hora."
Meus olhos se arregalaram com suas acusações. "Leah, do que você está falando? Eu não sei de nada disso. Confie em mim, eu não quero me casar com o Estefan. Tudo isso foi uma surpresa para mim."
"Pare de fingir." Ela gritou comigo e eu dei um pulo para trás de medo. "Você sempre quis ficar com o Estefan, por isso se aproximou da irmã dele. Você e a irmã dele devem ter feito algo para ele te escolher."
"O que você está falando? Eu não fiz nada disso, eu nunca faria algo assim com você." Eu chorei.
"Chega." Ela levantou a mão para me parar. "Eu deveria ter percebido antes que você é uma cobra verde escondida na grama, esperando o momento certo para atacar."
