Bid You Adieu Novels & Stories

A content, serene smile rested on my countenance. “Goodbye, for now, Pa, Adrian. We’ll visit you again soon.” ~THE END~

Without thinking, I called out, "Carl, I feel awful." But the room was dead quiet. That was when it hit me—today was the day Carl and Wendy were supposed to hook up. Wendy had posted a bunch of updates on Instagram—probably to make sure I saw them. Carl's face was hidden in the pictures, but their hands were intertwined. The caption read, "I finally found my destiny." Destiny? I sneered and commented, "Destined to be a homewrecker?" Not long after, I saw she had deleted my comment.

Nyssa’s POV: With every breath I drew, the atmosphere in the inner chamber grew increasingly oppressive. A soft murmur of voices flowed through the space like a subtle current, whispers tracing my skin like countless tiny insects. I remained frozen on the podium, standing tall and expressionless, though internally, I was falling apart. The bids rose relentlessly, each figure cutting deeper into me than the one before. “Sixty million!” a voice roared from the rear. A ripple passed through the crowd; murmurs surged like waves.

"I always trust you, Leah. Now, let's make some money together!" I smiled with relief and said, "You can take a look at it and assess its quality. Also, we need to collect some information about our rivals. This bidding process will last only for three weeks, so we're running out of time. But anyway, Gean is very good at what he does. I'm sure you'll be in good hands." "No problem! I'll take it from here," Laura patted her chest. At that time, I heard Gean's voice outside.

"not the word Adulf, it's safer if we don't discuss night businesses daytime. I just got the impression you were trying to call some important names." Adulf Cain looked down at the map " he must be- judy- judy -judy" and then smacking his own head"oh, that's where aunt Adelaine lives." "well good luck with that,"sighed Bucharest"they want you to go see her." "why?" "reasons are no stated,kid." ******

Was it something else? I don’t know. All I know is that I said the words that would forever haunt me: “I, Alpha Aiden of the Moon Shadow Pack, reject you, Addie, as my mate and luna.”

“3.54 million.” “3.55 million.” And this went on for nearly half a minute. “3.99 million,” Vivian said, slightly huffing and out of breath from shouting. “4 million,” Adrian said, calm and composed. He didn’t seem tired or out of breath. In fact, he was smiling, which frustrated Vivian even more. Nobody there was competing anymore except for Vivian because it was Adrian who was bidding. Everybody there knew who Adrian was, including the manager and the owner.

As the helicopter broke through the clouds and sunlight spilled through the window, illuminating Lena’s face, Lena closed her eyes and whispered a quiet farewell in her heart. “Goodbye, Henry.” They no longer owed each other anything now, and this was goodbye forever.

Adrian let out a short, humorless laugh before stepping back. “Five days, you say? I won’t fail in making it count.” Miranda forced a smile “Get ready,” he said suddenly. Miranda frowned slightly. “For what?” “There’s a bidding event tomorrow night,” he said. “High-end auction. Rare items. Things worth having.” She stared at him. Unimpressed. “And what does that have to do with me?” “You’re coming with me.” Her expression hardened. “No.” The answer came instantly. “Take Vivian,” she added coldly.

Adina nodded and thanked the man before she flipped through Elitos’ brochure and read it carefully again. Right then, the host for the session went on the stage in a hurry. He appeared apologetic as he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we are very sorry. There’s a problem with our bidding system, so the bidding probably can’t be held today. The exact time and location of the next bid will be announced. A man with a slightly bald head in the front row stood up and said, “Leave the system problem to me. I can get it fixed in five minutes.”
