Chapter 11 Be sold
Today is a special day for Emi, so Jane has to finish her work as soon as possible to get to Emi’s house. And finally, after a morning of rushed work with assigned tasks, she was able to free her hands a bit and run to Emi’s house. As soon as she saw Jane coming, Emi, who was concentrating on making sand in the yard, had to give up halfway to run to Jane and hug her. The white haired older sister led her little sister Emi inside the house to give presents. Jane happily took a small bag from her skirt and said:
“Emi, happy birthday. This is my gift to you.”
Emi took the gift in her hand, she opened the small bag and saw a necklace made of shells, the little girl smiled happily and quickly hugged Jane and thanked her.
Jane helped put the necklace on Emi’s neck, just finished wearing it, Emi suddenly remembered something and immediately ran into the house to get a picture to give to Jane excitedly. Jane looked at the picture and exclaimed happily:
“Is the one you drew me? Its very beautiful.”
Emi smiled and replied:
“You are like a princess in a fairy tale that I once read. She has hair as white as a snow queen and eyes as blue as the sea. My Jane is really beautiful.”
Jane sat down on the same level as Emi, stroked her little sister’s hair and said:
“So is my lovely Emi, you are a petite girl with blonde hair that shines brightly in the morning sun. You are lovely and holy, deserving of the best in this world.”
Both girls hugged each other, then Jane said goodbye to Emi to go home, she didn’t know that it was the last time she could see Emi.
Jane happily returned home, just as she stepped in the door, she was hugged by Ruben from behind, she panicked and shouted:
“Ruben, what are you doing?”
Ruben tried to hold Jane tight.
“You’re so cute, I really want to taste you once.”
Jane struggled to escape:
“Let go of me, Ruben.”
Jane struggled to resist Ruben’s hard, stiff arms while he kissed her neck and chest like a wild animal that had been starved for a long time. Jane grabbed a pair of scissors nearby, stabbed him, Ruben let out a pained sound, he slapped her on the cheek to warn her. Mr. Harvet entered and saw the scene, he smiled lopsidedly as if enjoying a rare sight, he said:
“You should hold back, Ruben. If you want it to be a virgin and sell it for a higher price.”
Ruben stopped what he just did, and replied as if he had just remembered something important that needed to be done:
“That’s right. A virgin woman can still fetch a higher price, after all.”
Jane was stunned to hear her father and Ruben say that, she was aware that she was in danger, so she hurriedly ran away. When Ruben saw that Jane wanted to escape, he immediately took a cloth soaked in anesthetic in his body and covered Jane’s mouth, making her unconscious on the spot. Ruben and Mr. Harvet put Jane in a sack, carried like a sandbag. They moved to a large ship that was parked near the sea, where the undulating rocks were hidden. Ruben carried a large sandbag onto the ship and set it down while Harvet stopped the driver who was trying to get close to the cargo. Harvet said to the driver:
“Give the money first, I will deliver the goods later.”
The train driver is also the guy in the casino, he replied annoyed:
“I want to check the goods.”
Mr. Harvet immediately opened the sack for Joca to see. He saw the beautiful white-haired girl and exclaimed in awe:
“Good stuff.”
Joca happily handed Harvet the money, motioning for the men on the train to carry the sacks. One of the big guys carried Jane and left them in a cellar, where there were other girls, young and old. Among them is Wendy, a girl with chestnut brown hair who is braiding dried straw into a tiny straw person. Wendy saw them bring large sacks, she felt curious so she put down the straw, approached and opened it, Wendy saw a white-haired girl who was unconscious, she patted Jane’s cheek a few times, but she still didn’t wake up. Wendy saw that and helped Jane lie down on one side, while sitting next to her continued to be a straw man.
The ship after receiving enough cargo, it began to anchor and run slowly on the water. Meanwhile at home Mrs. Dixi angrily shouted:
“Why did you sell it? That child has helped me a lot.”
Harvet calmly replied:
“If I don’t sell it, I won’t get all the money.”
Mr. Harvet carried a box full of dollars in it, and Mrs. Dixi said in surprise:
“Can that girl sell for that much money?”
Mr. Harvet answered Dixi with a mocking smile, took the small bag of gold that Ruben held in his hand and replied:
“It’s all mine, you can’t touch it.”
Ruben vehemently retorted:
“What did you just say? Is it all yours? So who was the one who helped you hold that child?”
Harvet did not answer, he quickly gathered the money and gold and went out of the house, looking for another place to hide them. Ruben was very angry, he saw a big hammer sitting next to the house, when Dixi wasn’t paying attention, Ruben used the hammer to rush straight at Mr. a hard blow to his head. Mr. Harvet was in pain because he was suddenly attacked by Ruben, he could only touch his back to see blood and fainted on the spot.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Dixi was extremely alarmed, very shocked by Ruben’s recent actions. She saw Harvet unconscious lying on a large pool of blood on the floor, trembling all over, she slowly approached to see if Harvet was breathing or not? And when Dixi checked, she discovered that he was no longer breathing, she was more frightened and leaned against the wall to look at Ruben.
Right now, Ruben was extremely frightened by his actions just now, both of them looked at each other probing, in the end greed still prevailed, Dixi tried to shake off her fear and said:
“Ruben, I will protect you. Don’t worry, my dear son.”
And so, Dixi and Ruben collected Mr. Harvet’s body and put it in a big sack the same way he and Ruben did with Jane, they scrubbed and wiped the blood from the floor and silently carried the big sack left the house to move in the night.
Mrs. Dixi and Ruben lifted the sack into a small fishing boat, then the Ruben drove away from the shore and threw him into the sea to feed the fish. Then the two of them hurried back home, quickly packed up and left the place quickly, they left an empty house with a bunch of stuff left unattended.
At the same time, in the Lawrence mansion, Brian was having difficulty moving little by little while practicing walking exercises with Regi, he took a few steps when he suddenly fell, Brian had never suffered and was in pain like this, he continued to growl and scold like yesterday:
“Damn it, this lame leg still won’t listen to me. That’s crazy.”
Regi saw that and helped his master to the side, but Brian threw his hand away and yelled:
“Stand aside, I don’t need your help.”
Hazel went into the room to visit Brian as usual, seeing her brother angry again, she ran to comfort him:
“Come on, Brian. You shouldn’t be so upset, just keep practicing and your wound will get better.”
Brian was hugged by Hazel, he felt uncomfortable and pushed Hazel away and said:
“I don’t need a fake person like you to care. I can take care of myself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian used all his strength to try to get up, he went to his side of the bed and lay down, turned to the side and shouted:
“Regi, I want to go to sleep, turn off the light for me.”
Regi obeyed his master, invited Hazel to leave the room and turned off the light and walked out of the place. Hazel looked at Brian with a sigh and whispered:
“Good night, Brian.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Hazel quietly left the room and forgot to instruct Regi to take care of her master, she moved quickly towards the yard where a car was waiting for her, Hazel got in the car and left quickly. She told the driver:
“Arriving at Rakana Hotel,…
Around that time, on the ship of the traffickers, Jane woke up when she realized that the surroundings were completely different, her head was still dreamy after being drugged by her brother. She looked bewildered in the cabin and saw many young women just like her, huddled together, leaning against a wall or some place to sleep.
Jane suddenly remembered that she had been tied up by her father and brother and put in a sandbag. She vaguely remembered that and suddenly understood when she heard the voice in the transaction of Mr. Harvet and the trafficker. She whispered to herself:
“I was sold by them.”
She was sad at the thought of that, and sat with her back against the wall and closed her eyes, intending to sleep a little. Suddenly her stomach was hungry, Jane tried to hold back her hunger, rubbing her stomach a little. When Wendy was nearby, seeing Jane like that, she gave her a piece of bread crumbs:
“Eat it.”
Jane took it and replied:
“Thanks”
Jane took a sample of bread, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and asked:
“Where are they taking us?”
Wendy nonchalantly replied:
“Don’t know”
Wendy looked at Jane’s innocent appearance and asked:
“Why are you here?”
Jane sadly replied:
“I was sold by my father and brother.”
Wendy smiled softly.
“It’s all the same, we were both sold by a bunch of bastards.”
Jane said nothing, she silently looked at the other women beside her, they were lost, sad, lifeless and tired like a corpse. They don’t know where their fate will drift tomorrow. And that was of course not the rosy life they used to live.
It would be a dark black of opium, drugs, amphetamines or sex slavery, It is the most typical example that the average person sees when someone falls into the hands of traffickers.
