They Auctioned the Mafia Princess Chapter 8
Seeing the Corsini bodyguards already reaching for their sidearms, Sophie was scared out of her wits. Her legs shook like leaves."Miss Corsini! It's not my fault!"Sophie screamed and dropped to her knees. She turned and slapped Julian hard across the face, wailing hysterically."It was all Julian's idea! He said you were like a dog that was easy to coax! He agreed to put your photo in the charity auction just to win the Manhattan apartment keys from me! And that day with the champagne at the apartment door—he was watching from behind the bar the whole time! He didn't stop me at all!"Julian clutched his slapped cheek and turned to look at Sophie in disbelief.The childhood friend he'd protected for six years, the one he always said "she's just playful, she means no harm"—at the first sign of disaster, she drove the knife straight into his heart without hesitation."Sophie... you vicious woman!"Julian's eyes bulged with rage. He lunged and grabbed Sophie by the throat. The two of the

Friday night. The oldest Corsini seaside palace in Palermo was ablaze with light.Crystal chandeliers refracted brilliant light. The guests were the top political and business elites of Europe.Julian stood with Sophie in the farthest corner of the banquet hall. He didn't even have the right to go up and toast. He could only look around anxiously, trying to spot the decision-makers of the Corsini family."I heard tonight is also the engagement dinner between the mysterious Corsini heiress and the head of the Rossi family."Sophie held her champagne, eyes full of jealousy as she watched the red carpet in the center. "I wonder what kind of woman was born in Rome and gets to marry into a top-tier family like Luca Rossi's."Just then, the conversation in the hall suddenly fell silent.The band struck up a graceful cello piece. At the top of the white marble spiral staircase on the second floor, two figures emerged.I wore a dark red velvet couture gown, the skirt flowing like a blooming re

In my first week back at the Sicilian estate, the family doctor came every day to change my bandages, treating the wound on my chin with the finest scar cream.The day the stitches came out, I opened the black velvet box I'd brought back from New York.Inside was a silver rose signet ring, symbolizing the highest inheritance right of the Corsini family.I put on the ring and formally took over the family's European shipping group and luxury winery business.What surprised me was that Luca wasn't the cold, domineering arranged-marriage partner the rumors made him out to be.Every morning, he brought fresh white camellias cut from the greenhouse to the estate to pick me up.At the board meeting, when a few old-fashioned uncles questioned how I'd wasted six years in New York, Luca just twirled his pen casually and coldly tossed out a port cooperation agreement in which the Rossi family gave up ten percent."Claire's name is worth exactly that. Anyone who objects can take it up with the sh

As the private jet cut through the clouds, it was pouring rain in New York.Julian stood in the hospital lobby, half-soaked from the rain, still clutching the white roses he'd just bought from a flower shop."What do you mean she signed herself out?"He gripped the nurses' station counter, veins bulging on the back of his hand. "She just had seven stitches in her chin! She lost that much blood! Why didn't you stop her?!"The young duty nurse flinched at his twisted expression and stepped back."Miss Linton was fully conscious and insisted on leaving. She specifically asked us not to notify you...""Impossible!"Julian cut her off, his chest heaving. "She has no family in New York except me. She doesn't even have a secondary card. Where could she go?"He pulled out his phone and dialed my number again and again. The only response was a cold mechanical voice.Not powered off. The number no longer existed.A panic he'd never felt before crawled up his spine. Julian turned and charged into

I woke to the strong smell of disinfectant. My chin was wrapped in thick medical gauze. The stitched wound and my swollen left cheek throbbed."Claire, you're finally awake!"Julian, who had been keeping vigil by the bed, grabbed my hand. His eyes were bloodshot."You lost so much blood. You really scared me."Looking at his tense jaw and reddened eyes, for a moment I almost believed he truly cared.But the next second, he stroked the back of my hand and said softly:"Claire, Sophie really didn't mean to hurt you. She thought a fun costume party would cheer you up. She just goes overboard sometimes. Don't hold it against her, okay?"The room went dead silent.I stared into his eyes until he guiltily looked away, then spoke hoarsely:"Julian, the biggest mistake I've made in six years is believing you would protect me."His face stiffened. He was about to speak when the phone in his pocket lit up.The screen showed "Sophie."His eyes flickered. He let go of my hand and stood. "I'll take

I wrenched my hand free from Julian's grip and raised my right hand, slapping him hard across the face.The sharp crack echoed through the empty entryway. Julian's head snapped to the side."AH! You're not allowed to touch Julian!"Sophie, who had been pretending to be drunk against the wall, instantly sobered up and lunged forward, slapping me hard across my left cheek.A burning pain spread. My eyes narrowed, and I raised my hand to slap her back.But Julian was faster. He grabbed my wrist and shoved me backward.My foot slipped. My back slammed into the metal door handle. A sharp pain shot up my spine, and I gasped.Julian stood squarely in front of Sophie, frowning at me."Claire, are you insane? She's drunk. Are you really going to fight a drunk woman?"Sophie leaned softly into Julian's arms, glancing at me provocatively, a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth."Julian, leave her. Let her go. There are plenty of prettier, more sensible women in New York. Who needs her?"Julia
