Dozens of stares fixed on me at once, contempt and mockery and idle curiosity tangled together, heavy enough to smother. "Layla, if you're going to lose your mind, at least look around first. This auction is run by the Thorne family." Karina covered her mouth and giggled. "Your territory? Big words. Careful, or you'll come to a very ugly end before the night's out."

ELOISE The lights dimmed in the event hall as we took our seats at one of the tables, and silence enveloped the crowd. A spotlight illuminated the first item to be auctioned—a centuries-old painting named "Whispers of the Wildwood" by the artist Edmund Harlowe, donated by a businessman. It's a landscape painting that transports viewers into a serene forest scene, lit only by fireflies. The painting portrays a deep, lush woodland with untouched beauty.

The prices of the items sold weren't uniform, so anyone with a net worth of one million dollars was admitted to the auction. Caroline and Gwen hadn't managed to find a suitable present for Jude at the jewelry store last time. Caroline had gone to several other shops later too, but nothing had caught her eye.

Sienna looked straight ahead as she led Bona to a seat in the event hall's last row, which was the least noticeable location. A few minutes later, the auction had officially started! The items which were auctioned off from the start included antique vases, jewelry, diamonds, a collection of calligraphy, and paintings. Sienna was not interested in all that.

Elara wins at nine, smiling too wide, like she’s just survived something. Then the room shifts. The air tightens. Voices lower. “And now,” the auctioneer says, his voice lowering, weighted with ceremony, “our final lot of the evening.”

I was with Philip, punishing him for his deeds, when I got a call informing me about the auction and it was not an ordinary auction of a commodity but of a girl who was going against the whole Mafia Gang. I couldn't stop myself from attending the auction when I got to know that it was none other than my own Angel. The mere thought of another man looking at her, let alone touching her, was unbearable. I told Philip about the auction and also informed him that I was going to buy his sister and do the same as he did to mine. This revelation drove him to madness, and I saw it as the ultimate form of revenge. The bidding price was telling how many men wanted her and every time someone bid a price

His hand lifts a fraction. 14,000,000 solidifies on the screen. “Fourteen million,” the auctioneer purrs. “Do I hear fifteen?” Ava’s pulse hammers. Fifteen million. Enough to matter. Enough to piss off someone who can kill her. She presses down. 15,000,000 – Seat C17. The room sharpens. The auctioneer’s smile grows teeth. “Fifteen.

Cecily instantly replied, "What is it?" "You'll know when you see it." Austin then put his phone on silent mode before returning it to his pocket. He leaned on the chair as he stared at the brightly lit auction table below. The auction was about to start. Austin wanted to win the bid for the Blue Tears Diamond as a gift for Cecily no matter what. He wasn't worried about the price as he believed that the bid wouldn't possibly end up in astronomical numbers. And besides, he did have money now. Suddenly, Yannis sheepishly spoke up. "It's getting hot in here, isn't it, Mr. Campbell? Can you ask your bodyguard to leave? I'd like to adjust my dress a little."

The entire room seemed to hold its breath, as if all the air had vanished; even the auctioneer paused before clearing his throat. “Ten million.” His voice cut cold as he shouted his offer. Silence followed. No one else dared speak. No one else made a move. My heart hammered painfully in my chest.
