Based on the host’s many years of experience in auctions, he knew that he would be able to get a reasonable price for that angelic girl when he heard the response from the audience. He smiled and said, “The base price for the auction of this beautiful angel is ten million dollars, and each bid is one million dollars.” There was no objection from the crowd. The attendees were all wealthy people. Ten million dollars were nothing to them if it was for something they wanted.
For Elena, however, it was a disaster. If someone could pay ten million dollars, they would not be an average person. She would not be able to escape if she were to fall into their hands. What could she do?
“Eleven million dollars!” Someone immediately called the first bid. Elena could not see the bidder. The seats at the floor were set up in a poorly lit setting to protect the buyers’ identity. Everyone held a number card in their hands, and the cards represented the owners’ identity.
“Twelve million dollars! Any higher bid?” The host looked thrilled. He would announce loudly whenever someone raised their hand. “Thirteen million! Any more? Fourteen million dollars! Fifteen million!”
Elena leaned against the crystal wall and looked weakly at one particular shiny number plate that was lifted. Every time someone raised the price, that person would immediately raise his card, as if to announce to everyone that she belonged to him! She did not know who that was, but she knew that he could definitely afford it.
“Eighteen million, nineteen million, twenty…”
“Fifty million dollars!” The entire hall went silent. Fifty million dollars! Fifty million dollarsfor a woman! All eyes turned toward the bidder. Even though most of the attendees could not see the bidder clearly, some of them already knew who that was. Fifty million dollars, what a lunatic!
“Fifty million dollars, going once.” That price was clearly beyond the host’s expectations. He continued, “Fifty million dollars, is there any more offer? Fifty million, going twice!” Everyone’s eyes fell back onto Elena’s face. She had a delicate face, and she looked absolutely amazing. However, was she worth the fifty million dollars? After all, they could only spend a few days with her if she were to remain anonymous. To save trouble, they would get rid of her after they had their fun with her. Of course, if she was willing to stay after that, then perhaps they could think of a way to keep her.
Nonetheless, fifty million dollars were a high price to pay for a girl with whom they would only spend a few days. Just as everyone else hesitated, the host banged the hammer. “Fifty million dollars, we have a deal!”
Elena closed her eyes in despair. It was as if she could only wait for her strength to recover. Unfortunately, her weak fingers told her that she would not be able to recover her physical strength that night. She had no idea who had bid for her with a hefty price of fifty million yuan.
Elena was then taken to a room where they placed her on a bed. The room had dimmed lights, and the soft glow of the warm lighting set a romantic tone. A few moments later, the door to the room opened. Someone had entered the room, but she could not see who it was.
The man walked in and picked up a glass of red wine that the staff had prepared. Then he downed the wine in one gulp. He was excited! So unbelievably excited! The feeling of lost-and-found was simply inexplicable.
Finally, he put down the glass and strode toward the big bed. Elena was really nervous. When those people laid her on the bed, they turned her body toward the window. The man stood by the side of the bed and stared down at her back. She could feel the fiery heat in his eyes as they fell on her that even the skirt on her body could catch up in flame. Her dress was transparent, and so he could clearly see her barely-covered body.
Suddenly, the man put his hand on her calf. Elena trembled in shock. She struggled to retract her calf, but she was really weak.
“No…”
Finally, the man pulled her toward him gently, and their gaze met when Elena turned toward him.
“It’s you…”
She stopped breathing for a few moments. Dylan! How could it be him? That bastard! How could he bid for her when he knew that she was his elder brother’s fiancée?
“Little angel, do you remember me?” Dylan was excited. He clasped her small feet and pulled it toward his lips so that he could kiss them passionately. “I didn’t expect to see you here! Are we not destined for each other?”
Elena’s breathing labored, but her consciousness was clear. He had failed to notice who she truly was. He thought she was the lady he had met in the rain. He did not know who she was…
He kissed her feet, and Elena felt her scalp tingled. She bit her lip and mumbled in a trembling voice when Dylan approached her, “Don’t do this…”
“Don’t do this? Then, how would you like it?”
It was impossible for him not to enjoy her thoroughly after he had spent fifty million dollars on her. God had mercy on him; he had finally found the girl who he had long searched for! He was like a hungry beast. How could he let her go so easily? It was a matter of how he could enjoy her best!
He was stoked at the thought that the girl on the bed was the very angel whom he had dreamt of all that time. His muscles clenched as he was aroused and sweated profusely.
“Don’t be afraid. I will be gentle with you. Yes, I will be very gentle.”
Dylan took her hand and brought it to his lips as he kissed it lightly. Then, he continued to place kisses up to her wrist and arm. Elena had goosebumps all over her body almost instantly. She tried to draw her hand back, but there was nothing she could do.
“Don’t do this, we… We don’t know each other yet.”
Elena frowned as she tried to throw off his palm. However, her strength was like a newborn who attempted to wave her arms. She did not look right, and her face was blushed crimson. Dylan knew that she was drugged with just one look at her.
He bowed his head closer to her as his thin lips curved into a smile. “What are you afraid of? We shall get familiar with each other soon.”
“Second Young Master Williams…”
“So, you do know me.”
He knew that the girl must have paid attention to him after she saw him the other day.
“Tell me, why did you leave the Garcia’s? No, why were you there in the first place?”
She was not a maid at the Garcia’s household. He had checked all the maids at their mansion, and he found none who matched her appearance. Elena bit her lower lip, and she wondered why she hated his touches. Whenever he went close to her, her body reacted oddly to his manly scent. It seemed… It seemed as if she wanted to be close to him…
Damn it! She remembered that she was drugged! Not only did she lack any energy, but her body got hotter as well! Even though her body’s reaction was out of her control, she could still think clearly.
Dylan did not know who she was, and he thought that she was just a girl who he had met. Elena tried to think quickly. She had to come up with something fast. “I… I was there because… I wanted to see you.”
