last update Last Updated: 2025-10-26 17:26:50

NYSSA'S POV:

“It's different now, I hope you know?”

I smiled sadly at Mia. Had it ever been different?

Practically every worker in the Adams household had hated me during my first few months here. And now, being back with the tag of being a traitor, it wasn't going to be any different.

I had always been treated coldly, and I was used to it already.

“It's always been like this, Mia. There's no difference from what it used to be a few months ago. No-one here has fully accepted me, and to be honest, I don't mind.”

I placed my luggage on her bed, then patted my hair tiredly. I reeked of sweat and tiredness, the result of a meeting with men who carried guns and wanted to kill each other without even batting an eyelid. I desperately needed a warm bath.

“What about my room? I'm guessing someone uses it now, huh?”

Mia shook her head, smiling.

“Your old room is still there, the boss didn't allow anyone to use it. He reserved it for you.” She paused before she continued, “I think he actual

  • Auctioned To The Highest Bidder   CHAPTER 123

    ROMAN'S POV:Immediately after dinner, I went to the kitchen, where I saw Mia supervising the cleaning of the kitchen and making sure that the rest of the leftover food was well stored. I stayed next to the door, observing her closely until she was aware that I was watching her. As soon as she saw that I was watching her, she began to panic. No matter how hard she tried to conceal it, it was there in the way she spoke, the way her voice took on a different shade of performative loudness, as if she was trying to show me that she was working. That was when I knew immediately that she was either scared of something, or she was hiding something from me. “Okay people, let's round up the cleaning and prepare the dough for tomorrow's meal…”When I touched her shoulder, she practically jumped out of her skin. “Boss…I…I had no idea you had come into the kitchen.” Her voice was barely above a whisper, and her eyes were lowered to the floor, as if she was scared to look at the obvious ques

  • Auctioned To The Highest Bidder   CHAPTER 121

    ROMAN'S POV:“Get in.”I stared at Nyssa Dimitri's body as she stood in front of me, a few feet away from the car that had transported me to the Giovanni estate. I swallowed hard as I stared at her. It was the same body I had craved for days on end, that body that was always going to remain forever entrenched in my memory. It was the same body alright. It was the same body that made me avoid Charlene on most cold nights, the same body that had made me sleep on the hard sofa in my study. I hadn't seen her for about three months since the New York City incident, but now, seeing her, I knew I had never forgotten her even one bit. “I'm not sitting in the same car as you.”I laughed out loud instinctively, knowing that even though I wanted her to be so close to me badly, I knew how weak it was going to make me look if I told her immediately to sit with me. “You have no choice, Nyssa. The other car contains my men, and I'm certain you don't want to be seated amongst men who hate you an

    NYSSA'S POV:“Come back to your house?”I stared from one face to another on the table, wondering at that moment, if I was the only one that had just heard his outrageous demand. The irony that I was running away from the Adams household and everything that came with it only to end up in the same house every night?“I'm sorry but I cannot agree to such a deal.”I kicked my chair backward, ready to leave the dining room when Adrian spoke, his hand touching mine. “Sit down, Nyssa. We can work this out.”“Work what out?”I glared at Roman, who was silent throughout the interaction. The smirk on his face was painful to see, the smirk of a man who knew what he was doing, the smirk of a cunny man. “There’s nothing to work out. I cannot go back to the same household that made me forget what it was like to have freedom. Going back there is simply going against everything I've believed in since I came here.”Adrian's reply was a stab to the courage I was building. “Can I speak to you for a

  • Auctioned To The Highest Bidder   CHAPTER 119

    NYSSA'S POV:In all my years of working for Roman Adams, I had never seen him so distraught. His face, white and devoid of colour, did nothing to hide the shock and anger he felt on seeing me and hearing that I now worked for Adrian Giovanni. At the same time, being so close to him reminded me that even after leaving him after a few months, I was yet to come across another man who appealed to me sexually as he did. Staring at the firm line of his jaw, I remembered the nights we had spent in New York, nights I would never forget. Memories that would live with me till the end of time. “Sit down, Roman. You've heard the lady. She made her choice. I think we can continue the meeting now. And put the guns away, will you? Tell your men to take their guns away, I can't eat with a gun staring at me in the face…”I glanced at Roman, who had barely moved from where he had been standing. “Do you know how long I've been searching for you, Nyssa? I paid detectives, we stayed in New York for

  • Auctioned To The Highest Bidder   CHAPTER 118

    ROMAN'S POV:My entire body grew numb as I stared at the face that I had wanted to see for days, the face I had lain awake all night hoping to see, praying that wherever that face was, she was safe and sound. And now, looking at the beautiful face of Nyssa Dimitri, I couldn't believe that she was in front of me. “Nyssa?”The words left my lips in disbelief, the gun in my hand briefly forgotten. She didn't reply to me immediately, turning instead to Adrian. “Drop the gun, Adrian.”Adrian's face was a mixture of anger and surprise. “You're not supposed to be in here, Nyssa. We talked about this already…”“How did you expect me to remain in there and watch you guys shoot yourselves? You're here for a meeting, and all of a sudden, everyone is drawing guns. No-one is going to die today, not while I'm in this house.”I tried in vain to comprehend her statement. Why was Nyssa talking to Adrian as if she knew him, as if they had some sort of agreement prior? What did she mean by “remain
