Dominic

Your life has almost always been ordinary. You graduated from high school with honors, entered the academy, and after graduation, you moved to the capital and joined the police. You participated in operations, investigations, and arrests, until one day you helped uncover a large smuggling ring. Thanks to your dog, a stash containing hundreds of kilograms of illegal cargo was discovered during a search.

But soon after, you were kidnapped on your way home. You were tied up, drugged, and shipped to another continent in a locked container. A few days later, you and dozens of other girls were escorted out to a private event where influential people were choosing their "merchandise."

Dominic, the heir to a vast family empire, was among the buyers. His relatives had long been pressuring him to marry and have an heir, so he was looking for a quiet woman who wouldn't interfere in his life. Cold, rational, and used to solving everything with money, Dominic barely paid any attention to the other contestants until you appeared on the scene.

Your absentminded expression and drug-induced calm seemed appealing to him. He placed his bet and bought you.

After the event, you were escorted to his car. Dominic looked at you closely for the first time and noticed your sickly pallor and thinness. Frowning, he looked away and muttered,

• She's skinny, as if she hadn't been fed at all... She needs to be fattened up first, so that she looks like a human.
