Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"I told you not to resist. If you do, it's going to hurt. Why couldn't you just listen?"
The old woman bent down and harshly grabbed the woman's hair, causing the latter to groan in pain. Then, she pushed the woman back onto the bed.
She just cried quietly because her mouth was taped.
The old woman walked over to the two men by the door and grinned. "The women you found this time are really something, especially the one over there. She's very pretty. I think we can sell her for 68 thousand dollars."
Right away, one of the men thought that was too much. "68 thousand for one girl? Usually, they go for up to 13 thousand."
"Have you ever seen a girl as beautiful as her come here?" The old woman clicked her tongue. "I say we go higher. Maybe between 96 to 110 thousand."
The man tried to laugh it off. "That's way too much. No one around here can afford that."
He was wondering about making an offer himself since he was single. He could try to make things work and have Esther for himself.
But 68 thousand dollars was way out of his budget!
Besides, this area was remote and not very modern. The people were poor, making a living from farming or keeping animals. Being considered rich here meant having a few thousand dollars saved up, so asking for 96 to 110 thousand dollars for marriage was just unthinkable.
The man sighed, feeling defeated because the old woman was set on her decision. Even though Esther seemed like a possibility, he gave up the idea.
Then there was some noise outside. The old woman, Reina, went to open the door. A few people were waiting.
"Miss Reina, I heard you got some pretty young women again. Is one of them really pretty?"
"I heard about the college girls. I'm really interested. Could I get one?"
"I'll pay 13 thousand dollars. I want the prettiest one!"
Reina Light covered her lips and chuckled. "Alright, they're inside. Calm down. Just come in one by one."
She let in a few men with higher status first. They looked over the three young women like they were just products on the shelf.
Esther watched the men carefully.
The man on the left looked nice and smart, unlike the others who seemed sneaky and cruel. One could tell they weren't good people, and their yellowish teeth were nauseating.
Esther sighed inwardly. She hoped that the village leader would choose her, as she felt she might be treated better by him. Maybe she would even find a way to escape.
Reina treated the nicely dressed man with more respect, sitting close and smiling at him. "Mister Finnegan, I didn't expect to see you here."
"People say we can come buy a wife, right? I thought I'd get one too," said Finnegan Fox clearly.
