"One million," A man seated at the corner of the room called out, raising his paddle.
My heart pounded louder with each bid. The men sneered, their eyes devouring me like I was a piece of meat. My body trembled as I rubbed my sweaty hands on my clothes.
The bids went higher and higher until there were just two men left. 
"Three million," the chubby man declared, impatient evident in his tone.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"Five million," A stranger countered, raising his paddle. 
My eyes widened in shock as I tried to figure out who this stranger was. The room was filled with murmurs and no one could counter the stranger. 
The auctioneer's gavel slammed down. 
"Sold!"

　　"Where the hell are they?!" I yelled into the radio, barely containing my temper as the car tore through the deserted streets.


　　"Close, Dominic. Just up ahead!" Stefano's voice crackled back. "Stay to your left, you'll see them."


　　I saw the flashes of gunfire before I saw Luca's car. The sound of bullets echoed around the industrial area and my stomach clenched. "Leila. Please be safe."


　　I cut through the lot, tires screaming, kicked open my door. "Go! Get a circle around Luca and Alessandro!" I yelled at the entourage spilling from the vehicle, guns up.


　　A sight to boil my blood: Luca threshing on the ground, clutching his bleeding shoulder; Alessandro knelt over him, still firing into the masked men beating a retreat into the darkness.


　　"Dominic!" Alessandro yelled above the bedlam, eyes wide. "They tried to kill her!"


　　"I see them!" I snarled, anger razing over my body. "Get Luca out of here! Now!"
