AP-070: Bella

Annabella or Bella, would be graduating from school tomorrow. She was 19 years old. Which meant that she was eligible to be bought, thankfully her ‘parents’ had not sold her directly when she had her birthday, but waiting for her to graduate from school to raise her value, and to give her a better chance to get a good master. Some were not as lucky as her, some ‘dad’ would just sell their ‘daughter’ when they are coming of age, Bella had few friends forcefully drop out from school because of their unfortunate fate. The dynamic of family in the After Protocol age was quite complex. A parent consisted of a Master and a breeder. A Master was the man of the house and the father. A Master had absolute control of their family. Breeder, was simply a woman who would bear the Master’s offspring. Breeder might not be the master’s wife, but they were always a mother. Only if a breeder bears a son, that they might be promoted as wife. A wife enjoyed more rights than other breeders which was not one because they needed to take care of their son. If they only bear daughters, they are not eligible to be promoted into a wife. Unfortunately for Bella’s mother, she had no son. A breeder could only bore two children for their life, and even the richest master may not **** themselves to make a breeder to bore their children the third time. Violating that rule was punishable by the state, and not only the breeder would be punished, there’s a heavier punishment for a Master. Bella’s mom only had her and her sister who was a year younger. It was quite fortunate that even though Bella’s mom wasn’t his wife, Bella’s dad seemed to love the women in his family well enough, but the same couldn’t be said to Bella’s mom. Bearing a son was a dream for every breeder, it is not rare for a breeder that failed to breed any son to be cold to their daughter. And it was what Bella’s mom exhibited to their daughters. Bella couldn’t complain about it, it was well-known that Motherly love was reserved for a boy, hence women got those chips to help them grow up perfectly even if they lack the tenderness of mother. Well, that was what her school taught her. It was not a complete abandon, Bella’s mom still did her bare minimum responsibility that a mother should do, and didn’t ignore if her daughters had questions, but she wouldn’t go to a length to shower her daughter with affection.This dynamic made Bella and her sister be closer to their father. Bella recalled that someone (not her) asked the class whether this cold attitude was intentional and programmed on the breeder so the daughter would be imprinted to their father then a breeder, and her teacher just brushed it up as a baseless conspiracy theory. But even if it was real, what women could do? They were on the mercy of their chips and Master.

“So, you will graduate the day after tomorrow. I don’t expect time to fly so fast, and my little girl is now a prime object to be sold.”, said Bella’s dad with a nostalgic tone. He was a man in his mid 40s. Her father looked average, not ugly, and not handsome either. He was a bulky man, with a neat short haircut, and a bit of beard. His face looked tired after a day of hard work.

“Thanks for the compliment, daddy,” Bella replied.

The family was currently having dinner. Her mother, Larissa was currently serving her father devoutly by spoon feeding him the meal. She didn’t even pay attention to her daughter.

Unlike the average looking man who was her father, her mother was stunning. Being pretty was a must in this age, except if a Master wanted his woman to look ‘unconventional’. But there was pretty and there was stunning. Similar meaning but showed a different level of beauty. Her mother, Larissa, was stunning. Golden blonde-hair, had sharp facial features befitting classical beauty, blessed with big breasts, and curvy body figure. But this beautiful MILF had metallic arms and feet that gave a sense of contrast in her appearance. If her father wanted, he could take control of these limbs of her. There were a few moments where her father punished her mother by taking away her ability to use her mechanical legs or controlling her arm to slap her own face.

Annabella and her sister, Natasha, had inherited her mother's stunning look. Despite having her mother’s pretty look, she was not as big as her in the chest department, but Bella inherited her father’s tall figure with shapely long legs. Meanwhile Natasha was a split image of younger Larissa, even had bigger breasts than Bella despite being a year younger than her.

“Don't worry, I heard there will be some big company representatives that will attend the auction this time, I'm sure you could secure the secretary spot,” her father reassured her.

Bella was already due to get a new master. After the graduation ceremony, she probably would directly be sent to the auction hall. There, she and her fellow graduate would be auctioned with the highest buyer being her new master. Her new master would be the one who decides what her role would be in her next phase of life, whether she would be a breeder like her mother or fulfilling other roles. There were various roles for women, from breeder, whore, fighter, pet, etc. The highest position a woman could achieve was if the Master let them be a Secretary. Bella was one of the best in her class, she had a big chance to be picked as a Secretary for her master. Though in the end it still depended on her new master's whims, but the common practice was for a master to turn a high performing woman like her as a Secretary. A good secretary was a very valuable asset. The sole reason for the school still existing in a world where women had less rights than a dog was to prepare them to be an excellent secretary. And it was also why her father didn't sell her directly when she was coming of age, for a potential Secretary material as her, her price would be pretty high. All the money from her auction would go to her father. It was how he got paid for all his investment he spent on her.

“Yeah, I hope I will be picked as a Secretary, a Breeder would be okay too, But what if they turn me into whore, or a fighter?”

“I hope you have the best outcome as secretary, but as a woman, you should be ready to take any role your master would give you, whether it is being a whore or being a fighter in the pit,” her father told her.

“Yes, daddy.”

“This house will be much quieter after you are gone, I will miss you a lot,” her sister, Natasha, interjected.

“I will miss this scene too. You need to be a good girl to daddy after I am gone.”

“Daddy, will our memory be erased by our master when we get sold?” Natasha asked their father.

“Most Masters won’t erase memories, maybe a bit of alteration here and there, but memory erasure was counterproductive to do to a high-quality product like an educated woman. It will render their knowledge futile. A waste of money to buy an educated woman just to erase their memory. Only a wastrel or sadistic pervert did that,” her father answered.

Bella felt slightly relieved. There was only a little chance that she would be picked by that kind of Master.
