"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.

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!"

　　I winced at the tone, hadn't expected that to flare up so suddenly. "Luca, what are you talking about?"


　　He threw his hands up in frustration. "I'm talking about you, Leila! About this preposterous idea that you could ever be with him."


　　My heart ached with the words. "Why do you say that?"


　　"Because you need to hear it!" Luca snarled, crossing the room until he stood right in front of me. "You think you stand a chance against Jocelyn?"
