Eden Books The FIrst Bid

LucasI wasn’t supposed to bid. I only came to observe the market and close a business deal with Alek Volkov. Then I saw her.She’s shaking on stage and her big blue eyes are wide with fear. She’s been stolen, and now she’s being auctioned off against her will. Suddenly, I don’t care about the rules. I don’t care about the money. I just know she’s mine, and I never let go of what’s mine.

LiliaI was never meant to be here. One moment, I was locked away in my stepfather’s house and trapped in a life of fear and silence. The next, I was on a stage and being sold to the highest bidder.

Being owned, or how much I want to obey him.
