My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1988

The six women in the cage all looked dazed and disoriented.

They had likely been drugged—just enough to keep them silent and obedient. A few of them had their eyes closed. It was unclear whether they were dead or alive.

Yet, despite their condition, anyone who looked closely could tell—every single one of them was breathtakingly beautiful.

Every night, the black market was filled with nobles and wealthy elites. And their greatest obsession was beauty.

Even if they didn't need the women for themselves, they could always give them to someone else. Sometimes, a beautiful woman was even more valuable than gold or jewels.

"Look at that one! The one with her eyes closed! Damn, her face is divine! But is she even alive?"

Someone in the crowd had sharp eyes and instantly noticed one of the motionless women.

His voice rose with excitement as he declared, "She's absolutely stunning!"

"Let me see! Let me see! Oh my god—she really is an unparalleled beauty! I've never seen anyone like her before!"

"This is top-tier merchandise!"

Amid the clamor, Vivian slowly opened her eyes. She froze.

Her gaze swept over the scene before her, and her mind went blank.

She remembered she was on her way home with her parents. Then, suddenly, a powerful force had ripped her away.

She could only watch helplessly as her parents vanished before her eyes.

She had been barely conscious, drifting in and out of awareness.

She could hear crying nearby. A heart-wrenching sound that made her chest ache.

And now that she regained consciousness, she was in an iron cage. There were other women locked inside with her.

Looking at the dark and filthy surroundings and the hungry and shameless stares of the men around them, she instantly understood where she was.

People had already started placing bids. Greedy, disgusting gazes were locked onto her.

She pressed her lips together tightly.

"If I can't go home, I have to find Manfred." Then, she closed her eyes again.

This time, she whispered his name over and over in her heart.

When she opened her eyes, she was still there.

Vivian took a deep breath. She didn't understand why.

All of her other jewelry was gone. Clearly, the people who kidnapped her had stolen everything valuable.

But this bracelet was worth more than everything else combined. So why didn't they take it?

Could it be…
