Brothel Manager : Unexpected Encounter with A Hidden Family Heirloom

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 : Auction

"Das, am I seeing things?" Ria asked with an astonishing gaze after seeing the eyes of the baby. Das started laughing after seeing Ria's dumbfounded expression.

"Hey… why are you laughing? Tell me what happened to her eyes? Is there any contact lens in her eyes." She asked doubtfully as she staring at the baby's eyes.

"No… they are natural. She is born like that. I'm also surprised like you when I first seen her eyes." Das said while controlling his laughter. Ignoring his playful laughter Ria turned her focus towards the baby.

She started staring into the baby's eyes with more affection after learning the truth about her eyes. The baby was happily giggling as Ria staring into her eyes.

"Das, how will you manage this baby with your work. As far as I know you are the only one who is living in this house. Did you think about any alternatives?" Ria asked with a concern for the baby.

"Haaa… this is the issue I'm more worrying about now. I can't find any alternatives. As the baby's back ground is little complicated, I can't rise her in my orphanage and I don't have any trusted people to take care of her." Das replied with a sad face.

"Then if you don't mind, I will rise her personally." Ria asked with an expectation. But Das throw a cold shower on her face.

"No, I can't agree with that. I promised her mother that I will personally take care of the baby. That too you also have work during the night time. So, I can't hand over the baby to you." Das denied her request without giving a chance to any negotiations.

"Then how will you take care of the baby?... She is just a month-old baby. You can't hide her forever as she need medical care regularly." Ria said with aggrieved tone.

"Ria, let me worry about the baby. I will definitely look for a better alternative." Das said in a confident posture.

"Then at least allow me to send one of my trusted servants to take care of the baby." Ria asked without giving up on the topic.

"No… I already said… I can't trust others with the baby. Any one will be suspicious after seeing the baby's strange eyes. So, I can't allow this." Das said with an impatient expression as Ria was keep on asking the sam question.

"Hey, cool down. Don't fire your anger at me.... It's ok, I won't insist. Are you satisfied now?" Ria spoke while busily feeding the baby.

Later, Das went to the hall to bring a water bottle for Ria. The baby slowly fell asleep on Ria's lap. Ria placed the baby in the middle of the bed and took the water bottle from Das hands. As her mobile kept on ringing, she decided to leave for work. Das also fellowed her to give a sendoff.

Ria stopped at the main gate and turned towards Das.

"What?... Are you not leaving?" Das asked with a questioning look.

"Das, I have a final suggestion. If you don't like it, I will never talk about it again." Ria said with a serious face as she stared right into his eyes.

"What is it?..." Das asked back.

"Tomorrow there is a sale for the new batch of girls at Black Sheds in the Port Area. During that sale, many dealers will come from all over the country to buy the girls in batches. At that time, the underworld organisation also conducted an auction for the selected beautiful women."

"If you don't mind, choose one suitable girl from that auction and train her to take care of the baby."

"I know that this is an absurd request. But those girls at the auction are slaves without a master. Most of the servants of my seven sisters are selected at that auction. So, I can only think of it this way, if you really want a trusted person to take care of the baby." Ria explained her insane suggestion in a concerned tone.

Das became silent after listening to her suggestion. He was thinking of the possible consequences.

"If you don't like it, leave it. leave it... I'm not forcing." Ria added after seining silent Das.

"It's ok. First, I will take a look at the auction. If I find any suitable one... I will make my choice." Das replied his decision.

"Haha... then I will wait for you at the auction. Don't forget the time. It is early morning four o'clock, at the black sheds in the port area." Ria left with a happy smile.

Das returned to the room and slept silently beside the sleeping baby. He was really tired from yesterday's adventure.

At the city centre in Mumbai, the Aarey Forest area, the subordinates of Eden, finally found the location of the cave where the princess of the Aries family died.

"Beside you, has anyone else enter inside the cave?" Eden, the head of the Golden Skull Organisation, asked her subordinate who found the cave.

"No, I did not allow anyone to come inside the cave. After seeing the dead body, I immediately informed you without any delay." The commander who found the cave reported back.

"Then where is the dead body of the baby?" Eden asked while observing the cave for every minute detail.

"Miss, when I found this cave, it was entirely sealed with large boulders. If my guess is correct, someone might have already rescued the baby." The commander spoke in a respectful tone.

"Hmmm... at least the baby is alive. Commander, find the remains of a one-month-old baby and burn this entire cave along with both dead bodies." Eden ordered the subordinate with a serious tone. "Miss, what if the young master of the Aries family found out about it?" The commander asked nervously.

"Hmmhh... don't worry about that brainless fellow." Eden said with a big smirk.

"As an admirer of Princess Lanner, at least I need to do this for her. Let that baby of hers survive." She added before leaving the cave.

After she left, the commander did exactly as Eden had ordered.

****zhmmm*** zhmmm***

Das woke up to the loud vibrating sound of his mobile. In a slumber, Das answered the phone as he still closed his eyes.

"Where are you?" Luna's voice came from the other end.

"What happened?" Das asked back as he perceived Luna's sweet voice from the other side.

"Nothing happened. My father is asking for you and I'm trying to reach you from last night. But you are not picking up my calls." Luna complained.

"I thought you were calling for me. So, disappointing." Das said in a playful tone.

"Hey... why would I call for you? You are not my boyfriend." She replied angrily.

"Then why did you kiss me in the mall? Tell me that you like me. otherwise, I won't talk with you." Das immediately disconnected the call after saying it.

Luna was dumbfounded by his behaviour. She never thought Das would talk like that to her.

"Ahhh... what happened with this idiot? Why is he suddenly started flirting with me?" Luna thought while calling him again. Das picked up the call with a happy face.

"Did you forget who I am? I'm the daughter of the Reddy family patriarch. If you flirt with me again, I will report you to my father." Even though Luna said it in a serious tone, Das knows that she did not mean it.

"Do whatever you want." Das replied back. Luna did not understand how to respond to his brazen response.

"Why did your father asked for me?" Das questioned, as Luna was not replying back.

"I don't know... He just asked me to inform you. That's it." Luna said with a casual tone.

"Ohh... then tell your father that I went to the hospital for a checkup. I will meet him by tomorrow afternoon." Das said while still lying on the bed.

"What happened? Is it serious?" Luna asked with concern.

"Nothing serious. I'm just taking a break from the tiredness." Das replied casually.

"Where are you now?" Luna asked back.

"I'm inside the villa at Film City. Why are you asking?" Das questioned.

"Nothing. Bye. I'm busy." Luna immediately disconnected the call.

Das again closed his eyes, as he was feeling more sleepy. But before he even took a rest for five more minutes, the baby started paying with his face. Das started making funny faces to make the baby laugh.

Ehe… he. He, ehe, the baby's sweet laughter made him even happier. Later, he changed the baby's diapers and cleaned her body with a wet cloth. After applying the lotion, he dressed her in a sleep suit.

Just as he finished dressing her up, the calling bell rang from the main door. Instinctively, the zooming vision came back as he was directly seeing the person at the door.

"Wtf... it is coming and going as it pleases... Why can't I control this ability?" Das thought with an annoyed face as he saw Luna's face at the main door.

Das placed pillows on both sides of the baby and went to answer the door.
