"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!"

　　"You're tense again." Jocelyn's voice slithered into the room like a cold breeze, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned, finding her standing in the doorway, her arms folded across her chest, a knowing smirk pulling her lips. She had that look in her eyes, that look which always meant she was up to something.


　　"I'm good," I growled, rubbing my hand over my jaw. But the truth was, I wasn't.


　　"Fine?" She laughed lightly and moved another step closer. "You've been stalking around here like a lion stuck in a cage. It's obvious, Luca. You're distracted."


　　I flexed my fists. "What do you want, Jocelyn?"


　　She cocked her head sideways, the predator grin still smeared on her face. "I'm just here to help you, Luca. You seem bothered." The voice was even lower as she closed the space between us, stopping right before me. "Couldn't help but notice the tension between you and Leila. It's intriguing."
