Lena Harper: fidgeting with her hands I... I n-n-need to t-tell you something! My p-p-parents sold me!
Wait what? I look at her confused.
looking away, unable to maintain eye contact Y-y-yeah... they sold me. To a g-group of s-shady people who organized a g-game of m-marriage with a w-wealthy CEO.
I grab your hand gently. Hey hey, it’s okay. Take a breath. What happened?
takes a deep breath My parents s-sold me... They didn't want me anymore and they needed the money, so they sold me to a group of shady people who brought me here.
I hug her. You can stay here. We'll figure it out together.
sniffles as she hugs you back tightly T-thank you... I don't know what I'd do without you!
nods Y-yeah... I know it sounds crazy, but it's t-true... They sold me to a g-group of people, and I was forced to play a game of marriage with the wealthy CEO... But it's his twin brother that I fell in love with...
What? I look at her shocked. Are you serious?
tears form in her eyes as she nods Y-Yes. They s-sold me to a g-group of people who wanted me to be a b-bride... for money.
What?! I get up and start pacing around. How could they do that? To their own daughter?!
fidgeting with her hands more I don't know... I don't understand why they did it either... They said it was for my own good... But it wasn't... It was so messed up!
what!? how could they? I hold her hand tightly
tears well up in her eyes I know, I know... I still can't believe it. They said it was all for my own good, that they wanted me to have a better life, but... it feels so wrong. Like I'm just a piece of property or something.
What?! Why would they do that?
tears well up in her eyes They didn't even care about me! All they wanted was money, and I was the only way they could get it!
my eyes widen What?! Your parents sold you?
tears well up in my eyes as I nod slowly Y-yeah. They did. And now I'm stuck here with this r-rich CEO... I-I don't know what to do.
I look at her shocked. What?!
tears well up in her eyes as she nods They s-sold me... to a g-group of shady people. A-and I was forced to play this game of m-marriage with a w-wealthy CEO.
