"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!"

　　"Did you hear about the kiss? It was in the garden!"


　　My heart raced. Just down the hall, guards' voices were loud and clear, too close to ignore. They didn't know I was hidden around the corner, listening to every word.


　　"Yeah," another replied, "Luca and Leila? Didn't see that coming, but with everything Dominic's done for her and her brother... maybe it's no surprise."


　　My stomach twisted. How did they know? How fast had this spread?


　　I backed away silently, then spun and ran down the hall, breath quickening. Dominic couldn't find out this way. I burst into Luca's room, mind reeling, not even bothering to knock.


　　He had raised an eyebrow over the documents on his desk. "Leila, what is wrong?"


　　I closed the door behind me and began pacing around the room. "The staff, they're talking about us. About the kiss. They know, Luca. They know it all!"
