*{ two years later *}*{ *Rowan p.o.v* .}*
I was sitting on my office chair when I saw my phone vibrate
_Phone ringing....._
I saw the ID caller to be mr. Morgan , I picked the call immediately
" Hello Mr. Morgan, how are you doing? It's been a while since we last talked , are you back into the country?" I said to my long time friend since highschool who was works abroad at a famous hotel as a assistant C.E.O of the ZRAA hotel.
" Am fine Rowan , yeah, it's been long since we last spoke, and am fine by the way, what about you and your wife?" He asked
" I and my wife is good , thanks for asking, hmmmm , today you called out of your busy schedule , hope everything is fine?" I asked
" Well, am just in a bit of a triangle at the moment and I was hoping you may have a solution to it" he said over the line
" Ookay...what is the problem, speak to me, I can be of help over here" I said proudly.
" ....okay, can I trust you Rowan , this is really serious " he said in a serious tone .
" Yeah you can morgan , put your trust in me everything would go well" I said to reassure him and I heard him sigh over the line before speaking
" Fine, well the boss of the hotel is really mad at the moment because two of his price possession snow lions female workers for him died early this year out of mishandling with our customers and just two days ago, our last snow lion died suddenly , and no one knows the reason why.. like she was taken care of properly and all of a sudden when one of our maid came to call her in the morning about our boss request to see her, only to find out that she died in her sleep, I mean that's ridiculous and now we are out of snow lions in the club and the boss is loosing millions because snow lions are so much requested by the market ,. Like right now, I don't really know what to do about it....." He said releasing all his pure frustration.
" Really morgan.....I have never heard of snow lions being in the market" I said with total surprise.
" Actually, we take them still in their tender age and as they grow, we teach them all they need to know about the club but Rowan, please this is secret dealings and nobody knows about them, only our most wealthy customers who we tell too and they pertronage well, and even till right now, they are requesting for a snow lion to be with them this night and they would pay any millions called" he said.
" What! Are you kidding me right now? That's really crazy men" i said in total shock
" I have sent my boys undercover to find information where a snow lion is , so that I can buy it up" he said.
" Hmmmm.. morgan just calm down okay, on this matter, it won't be easy finding a snow lion because of how rear they are , and why do you guys value snow lions so much over there uh" I asked anyways because I don't see the great deal in them anyways.
" Really men, you are asking me such questions, I can tell you a hundred reason why snow lions is so important to our business , our customers finds them more attractive and they don't easily worn out like any other human or linx when they get older and had to many men their body would soon just change and no one would have interest again in the humans and Linxs females. Also our customers actually enjoy them more in bed than other girls , and the more calls and request , the more money we get... I would have gone more if we were face to face men" morgan said.
" Morgan, I would advise you go rest your head okay , you seem to be stressed over this... just calm down and use calm mind to think okay" I said trying to comfort him in his days of trials
" Thanks men, I really appreciate , please call me is ever you get any information of a snow lion in your area okay, this is big money we are talking about here , it would pay me and you Rowan.... okay talk to you later, bye" morgan said.
" ...bye" I responded
_Call ended_
I continue to sit down on my office chair still In a daze , I am totally confused right now, I thought snow lions weren't so important at all but it seems am wrong and they is a actual snow lion living under my roof right now.
When evening reached, I drove in my car home to meet with my family. I couldn't concentrate anymore so I asked my wife who was beside me in the living room.
" Where is that girl Nicole?" I asked her
" I'm not sure but she must still be in the garden cleaning the kitchen windows since last I saw her " she responded to me and I nodded an ' okay' to her " why did you ask honey.... it's there something bordering you? You have been like this since you came, hope all is well at the office?" She asked.
" Yeah galenna ,all is well , you don't have to worry okay I'm fine. I only asked nicole is because I wanted to confirm whether she's still in this house'" I said solemnly
*The next few days* , I was still talking in my head non stop till the night I decided to tell my wife all that have happened few days ago about the snowlion issue.
" Really, so the higher sides value snowlions a lot and sacrifice millions just to even meet them, that's so crazy and unusual" galenna said talking to her self to reconfirm all that I said with her eyes wide like a sociopath.
" I couldn't believe it either but now I am re-informed about how they do things over there" I said while adjusting my self on the bed in our room.
" Honey, nobody would know... right... you are going to be wealthier than now and nobody would notice she was gone anyways, if you take this deal honey, our children would attend more expensive collage than this and we can just be traveling all around the world occasionally and all our family dreams would come true. Infact we don't really need that Nicole , when she is gone...we can hire as many maids as we want , this is going to be exciting love...yay we finally made it...I mean you finally made it love'" galenna said with all manner of joy and excitement in her voice.
_I think I would go for this deal, it's worth it and I know I and my family would profit a lot_
*The next day* I dialed mogan number but it was unreachable at that moment but after a while he called me back.
" Hi Rowan, how are you? I was kinda really busy when you called before so I was unable to pick ...so what's up?" He asked
" Am fine actually, I called you because of what you spoke about to me the first time, I have a snowlion who is still a virgin living under my roof for a long time now" I said my mind already picturing increasing six digits.
" What! Really and you didn't tell me before, why men?" He asked
" I had to think about it firstly before I could conclude any matter on ground, hope you understand?" I said
" I understand Rowan but plans and deals have changed for the moment, one of our most wealthy customer have fixed a budget to pay , over one twenty million U.S.D already and my boss is just searching for one snowlion to sell out straight, are you really sure that snow lion is still living under your roof , because this is a lot of money and it's not joking business'" mogan said solemnly
" Yeah am sure mogan , really sure of it" i said nodding my head even though mogan can't see me
" That's good, thank you Rowan so much for your support" mogan said releasing his held breath .
" My pleasure men, what are friends for if they don't help each other make money " I said laughing.
" Yeah , now all I just need is the girl's reports of her and I will tell my boss about this, send me her biography so that I can show my boss immediately and business commerce and trust me my friend , you would be payed handsomely for this" mogan said, I'm sure he must be smiling over the line.

When I got home , I bought a lot of things to celebrate with my family.
" Dad good evening, what's all this goodies for dad?" My first daughter asked who was sitting in the living room.
" It's to celebrate of course! Now go call your mother and younger siblings to come down stairs and let's go out for a nice treat okay" I said with my voice filled with happiness.
When they all came down stairs, I packed them all into the car to take them to order anything they want now when we got to the mall which just newly opened across the city.
" Dad , what's the celebration for? You are just smiling non stop and it's kinda unusual to see on your face" Orion said trying to read my facial expression properly.
I took them to the restaurant in the mall to order food. When we all ordered I finally started to disclose the success of our family becoming Stinky rich millionaires through Nicole departure.
" Wow dad!, Really , we are going to be millionaires " my eldest daughter said with voice of excitement and shock.
And my wife placed her right hand on Elara shoulder while smiling.
" Yes dear , now after this deal is done, say no more to common things and aim extraordinary ones okay" galenna said with full pride In her eyes.

*.{ The next day}*
{ *Nicole's p.o.v}*
Yesterday evening was weird, the ark family all went out in the name of celebration.
Maybe they are rejoicing for another person who died so that they can take over everything the person owned.
_Well that's not my concern._
Later that day auntie Selena and Andy came for my check up.
We were discussing and laughing and sharing memories like a nice family get together.
" But mom, I won't believe you this time because when I turned sixteen on my birthday this year, you also said that you would get me the bags and shoes I asked for" Andy said with a totally moody face .
_So cute_ !
" Well fine, I would get it at least before the end of this year Andy so stop giving me a headache with all your demands" Aunt Selena said pleading to her teenage daughter.
" Auntie, if you buy her a book instead, am sure she would be happy" I said with my usual low voice.
" Eww, no mom, as much as I like reading, a book is not on my bucket list for you to get me and anyways the ones at home that I have Not finished, what am I then going to do with a new one?" She said rolling her eyes.
" Read of course!, Even nicole knows how much you need to study hard before I get enough money to send to to collage to become a lawyer andy" auntie Selena said with concern laced in her voice
After talking for a bit more while and listening to andy's whining of what she needs, gosh, this girl is already giving her mother grey hairs on her head.
I wished them goodbyes when they left and the rest of my day was doing little house chores and talking with Roy my falcon who now comes to visit me often.
.
.
*{ The next day, Friday, afternoon}*
After the three monsters came back and then ordered for what they want to eat , surprisenly their dad is at home today.
" You Nicole, come get me the apple on the table" Lyra ordered which snapped me out of me thoughts.
_'stupid thing, do some things your self'_ I yelled practically in my mind. And went to give her the apple plate on the table
" Hmmmm , now that this thing won't be living with us much longer, it's better now, at least we won't have to notice her presence any longer.... right guys" Elara Said, is she trying to stir up something in me?
" Yeah, now dad can even hire our own personal maid for each of us , that's gonna be so cool" Lyra said while smiling.
Immediately Orion left the dinning table, what's wrong with this one anyway?.
" It's better we break the good news to the only low life in this house, look here you bitch , you won't be living under my father's roof any longer because in the next few days , you would be sold.... hahahaha to become a full time prostitute and that's the kind of fate you deserve" Elara Said with joy sounding in her voice.
_' what! Is this some sought of joke am hearing , what's going on over here'_
.
.
*{ Orion p.o.v}*
The fact that I heard the news about nicole going to be sold triggered me.
I couldn't take it anymore, from when we were kids, I really like nicole a lot because of how beautiful she is and I thought by my sisters advice that if I forcefully take her , she would accept me and I can have her for my self but that plans didn't work one bit, even when I tryed to be a bit nice to her , she declines me without a second thought. I wanted her to love me so bad bad that I imagine if treating her badly would get her to be submissive to me but ' No' that didn't work either.
I feel so annoyed the way my family is ignoring my wishes to marry nicole but my mother declines it but today I am gonna tell dad how I really feel about nicole so that he would change his mind.
I met dad coming out of the balcony while talking with someone on the phone , I quickly went to meet him and he gave me a signal to hold on.
" Hmmmm....I have heard, I would do that right away..... yeah sure, bye" he ended the call.
" Hi dad , I wanted to speak to you about something important" I said walking along with him towards the stairs.
" Okay, I'm listening, what do you want to speak to me about?" He asked patiently for my response.
" Dad, I'm not in support of nicole being sold out to an unknown stranger, I doesn't just seem right at all to me dad. I'm asking to take her as my wife dad and I need your support on this dad, I really like Nicole a lot" I said looking at my father's eye ball to eye ball.
" Hmmmm, I Know this would come out one day with the little information I heard from your mother about you... Orion, my decision has already be made and that is final and Infact, you and Becka are soon going to be together when the time is right so stop bothering your self about that girl, can't you understand the kind of wealth that is going to be ours when this deal is done, so stop this love history and forcus Orion, Becka is still very suitable for you and I and your mother is sure she would be a good wife for you" father said then continue walking down the stairs leaving me there to my disappointment.
" Nicole!" Father called still walking down the stairs slowly.
*{Nicole's p.o.v}*
I still didn't understand what was going on right now.
_Or is Elara just trying to harass my emotions?_
" Nicole!" I heard uncle Rowan call me and I snapped out of my thoughts again to go meet him.
" Now this is gonna be fun" I heard Lyra said from behind me as I move forward towards uncle Rowan.
" Yes uncle Rowan" I answered him.
He walked from the stairs to the living room and then sat down on the couch, crossing one leg over the other.
" Nicole, you know that I and my family has been accomdating you for years now and I have finally decided to give you out. You would be working for ZRAA hotel which is located abroad and In the next few days more, morgan my friend would come pick you and currently now, he boarded a plane and he's headed to Harrison now, so now , I need you to be in your most acceptable behavior any time he comes to visit, under no circumstances you act reluctant towards anything that is going to happen, am I making my self clear here?" Uncle Rowan said solemnly.
Tears streamed down my face from behind my vail , I trembled just over thinking what uncle Rowan just Said . __How could he? This family is going to sell me....like a slave to someone I don't even know. After everything this family has done against me. They just discard me whenever they want._
" U-Uncle .... Please don't send me away ... please uncle, don't do this to me....." I begged uncontrollable.
I continued to beg him but it seems like am talking to deaf ears.
Elara and Lyra just stood aside and smiled at my pure misery.
My cries grew louder , I couldn't take it anymore, things just seem to go from bad to worst.
I begged uncle Rowan to spare me from the horrific fate that awaited.
He just left the living room and went out of the house saying something to Elara which I could not pull together because of my crying.
Elara just mentioned to me before leaving.
" You deserve it anyways, at least you would be more useful" she and Lyra laughed before they left.
" Mama...papa please take me away" I continued to say in-between my sobs.
But it seems that I have said those words multiple times and it feels they just abandoned me in this life to continue suffering.
_I so hate my life deeply, I hate everything and everyone._
My head feels full, why is all this happening to me .
My mind was clouded as thoughts continue to flood my head.
When evening reached , I laid in my room , Lost in my thoughts, I buried my head in between my legs and held my self close .
