Coulter's eyes settled on the document of the X shares. His eyes gave nothing away, even as Amelia held on to his arm, her eyes a mix of anxiety and dawning realization that the shares could never really be hers."Starting bid, Hundred million!" The announcer yelled again, gesturing frantically towards the shares. "Anyone?"A paddle went up at the far back. "Hundred million."The announcer nodded, seemingly unimpressed. "We have an offer for Hundred million! Any counter offers?"Meanwhile, Melissa rested her hands on her waist as she watched Cole pacing around, her eyes thin. "What are you going to do now? About the X shares? You know how much I want those! Are you really going to sit there and watch aome stupid anonymous bastard take everything from me? Are you really going to watch that akut and her little houseboy laugh at me?! You saw what happened at the Nasdaq ringing. You saw it! Those snakes know how to charm people with my secrets and their bodies! Are you going to...""Of co

Ian was standing by the door in an impeccable suit, his eyes resting on Caleb and the attendant. "Sir," the attendant said, his eyes travelling to Ian. "Is there.... something wrong?"Ian gave a s.all nod, and three men walked in, carrying three briefcases. Without a word, they walked towards the elevated podium and opened the briefcases. Wads of cash came into full view, and a wave of surprise rushed through everyone in the audience. There was a minute of complete silence, as Ian slowly walked down towards the podium."Change of plans," Ian said. "Whatever is bought here has to be paid in full cash, instantly."Caleb's eyes widened, his composure shattering as he turned towards Melissa. Fifty-five million dollars in cash? It was ridiculous.Not only did he not have it, but it was an obscene amount to be able to withdraw."We heard the price increment of the necklace, and we would like to buy it in cash. That is sixty million dollars in cash."Caleb broke into a cold sweat as Meliss

Caleb swallowed hard, his eyes slowly scanning the entire room. Melissa way hed him expectantly, her eyes wide. The Caleb she thought she knew would easily afford not just twenty million dollars, but fift if he needed to. Hundred if it got to that point."Caleb?" She called, her voice low, coaxing.Coulter watched him with the eyes of a keen manipulator, his fingers tightening on his phone. Ian had such beautiful timing. Knowing how fat Coulter's ego was, he wouldn't come back empty-handed, even if he went bankrupt and in debt over it.And that was exactly what Coulter wanted. For him to be bankrupt, in debt, and empty-handed."Another anonymous offer just came in! Fifty million dollars! The necklace is now worth fifty times its original price!"A lull fell on the crowd. Ragged whispers, gossips seeping into every seat. All eyes mow watched Caleb with renewed interest. "Sir? Will you bid again now that your original bid has been rendered invalid?"Caleb bit down on his lips. Hell, th

Gasps erupted in the hall, and Caleb turned to Coulter, his eyes wide and filled with rage. "How dare you? Do you think we are here to joke? You think this is some stupid roleplay where we all listen to you and play out your impossible whims?!"Coulter said nothing, and even Amelia started to grow nervous. Her grip around his hand tightened.Melissa leaned forward, her eyes cold, and when she spoke, her voice was half devoid of emotion and half filled with venom."I know you want to prove something to me," she said, her voice low, weaving around the wall. "I know you are trying too hard to be the man I would eventually regret losing. But I won't. Accept that I am with a better man and stop playing stupid tantrums!"Counter gave a small sigh but said nothing."Eight million!" The announcer yelled, looking towards where Caleb was sitting. "Is there a counter bid? Anyone?"Melissa looked at Caleb, and Caleb felt a cold dread settle in his spine. He would bankrupt himself. Hell, not just
Chapter 15
The auction began.The first peace was a vintage men's watch, an item that Coulter used to be the owner of after he placed a secret bid on it years ago at ten million dollars. "The starting price for this watch is eighteen million!"Coulter only stared at the watch. He had gotten tired of the watch, and that's why he had added it to the auction list."Eighteen million," A woman said from the back, her voice high.The crowd erupted in a deafening applause. "Is there any other bid?"Melissa turned to Amelia who was staring down at her paddle. "Won't you place a bid? Your boy toy's birthday is in mere weeks. You should get him the best gift for a little manwhore."Amelia's eyes widened as she turned to Coulter who had been absentmindedly staring st the watch. Something inside of her broke.He looked like he wanted the watch, but now she placed a bid now, she would definitely mot have any money for the X shares.She swallowed hard."Go on," Melissa said, as she raised her own paddle.

Coulter took his seat next to Amelia, his eyes settling on the bid paddle on top of the set table. A small smile touched his lips before he turned away."I welcome you all," came the announcement, and Coulter adjusted.Amelia swallowed hard, her chest heaving with all the possibilities. She turned to the other section where Melissa and Caleb were sitting, and dread curled in her stomach.She turned away, clearing her throat."I welcome you all to this auction. As we all k ow, we have some extremely valuable pieces, helmed by the extremely priceless X shares, for which the starting bid will be an astronomical hundred million dollars!"Cheers immediately erupted from the crowd, and Melissa turned to Amelia. Their eyes met over Coulter and Caleb, and Melissa gave a wicked grin before she turned away.Amelia's fingers shook with fear. Hundred million dollars. It was more than all of the money she had gathered to fund whatever purchase she would make here.She knew she had been too ambitio
