Camille's POV"Twenty million dollars."A hush fell over the room the second the auctioneer announced the starting price for Blue Star.Then, almost immediately, someone raised their paddle.Twenty-five million, thirty, forty.It was the centerpiece of the evening, and the crowd was ravenous for it.But by the time the bids blew past seventy million, only three bidders remained.Noticing my paddle was still down, Elise finally leaned in close and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to bid?"I didn't answer; I just gave her a slow, playful blink."That confident smile you had earlier made your intentions clear," she added.I picked up my champagne and took a sip, savoring the crisp fizz on my tongue and the sharp tingle as it went down.I was holding off because Lucian hadn't made a move yet, and I knew he was dead set on walking out with Blue Star.When the price hit 85 million, he finally lifted his paddle.
