“And look at this beauty!” The auctioneer’s voice broke through my erratic train of panicky thoughts. 

“The starting price for this one is Two hundred thousand dollars, nothing less.” 

I knew the auctioneer was still talking but my mind didn’t register any of his words. I could not get that glare that Mark gave me out of my head. Just thinking about it made my hand tremble. plucked my pue from my lap and held it with a strong grip. Thankfully, my hands stopped shaking. 

I took a deep breath and looked up. Just as the auctioneer grinned widely- someone had probably increased the amount and opened his mouth to speak, I heard Lucas say, “Five hundred thousand dollars.” 

– 

whipped my head round to face him,my eyes bulging, “What?” I whisper–yelled. 

“I asked if you wanted it, but you didn’t respond.” 

“So why are you bidding for it?” Even though the original amount of the bracelet was way more than that, I couldn’t let him get it. 

“Seven hundred thousand.” 

Just as he looked over my shoulder and nodded at something there, someone else increased their price. It was a voice I recognized too well. I already knew who it was before I even turned. 

“My nephew wants it.” 

From where I sat, I could see his jaw work as he grinded his teeth, his hands 

clenched into fists on the arm of the chair. 

“Then let him have it,” Lucas raised his paddle but the urgency in my voice. made him stop. He turned to me, his eyes searched mine and I could feel everyone staring at us. 

“Why?” 

“I don’t want you messing with Mark. Just leave it for him. If you like it do 

much, I can make a replica of it for you. Look at it, it’s Atelier’s. I made it. Easy

peasy. If you have a style you like, I can make one specially for you. It’s not worth it to spend so much on this bracelet.” I rambled on until Lucas chuckled. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as he out his arms around me and raised his paddle 

“A million dollars.” 

Gamps went around the room and all eyes were on him. My nape tingled and I know Mark was glaring our way again. 

“Lucas” I cried. 

He pulled me to him and gave me a kiss on the top of my head and I suddenly felt safe. I felt protected in his arms. I’m sorry, babe. I just find it fun to tease Mark.” There was this mischievous glint and playful smile on his lips as he spoke that silently assured me that nothing could go wrong. Then he chuckled, “It always feels like teasing a puppy. 

I relaxed and leaned into him, “Can you get any more childish?” I shook my head. “You guys are so childish but I think I like this game. How much are your willing to bid the highest?” 

He smirked and glanced above my head, “Let’s see…” he chuckled. “With that look? I might have to let the puppy have its milk. 

I turned and followed Lucas‘ gaze. Mark’s knuvkes were almost white as he gripped the paddle and raised it. The rage and determination on his face had no borders. “Two million dollars.” 

Even I gasped along with everyone else. 

I felt Lucas‘ shift and I quickly turned to him. “You’re not doubling that amount!” I glared at him and said sternly. 

“Come on, I wouldn’t do that.” His gaze shifted from me and traveled to where Mark was seated. 

Their eyes clashed, Mark met Lucas‘ provocative smirk with hardened jaw. Hist face portrayed nothing but raw anger. 

“It’s yours now, puppy,” Lucas mouthed to him and his expression grew even angrier.
