HIS TO CONQUER
I quickly turned around to see who had made that call, and I was met with fucking Gavin with a sexy grin plastered on his stupidly handsome face, his gaze fixed on me.
I felt cold sweat trickle down my spine, and I knew I couldn't win the bid. Stephen also backed down immediately with a frown.
The announcer called out the bid once, twice, and then slammed down his gavel. "Sold to Mr Gavin Slade for 1.5 billion!"
I felt a mix of emotions. Frustration, disappointment, and relief. I knew I couldn't have afforded to bid higher, but a part of me was glad that the necklace wouldn't end up with Stephen, but Gavin wasn’t any better either.
