I bought her at an auction. My best friend's sister. How I wound up at the auction? I'm only here to close a multimillion-dollar deal. Until she walks out on stage. I could tell she didn't recognize me. My best friend's sister. The friend that's no longer alive. She doesn't know the truth about what happened to him. Before I could stop myself, I put in a bid. I was the asshole who got to walk away with her on my arm. That damn dress. It left little to the imagination. I told myself I wouldn't touch her-shouldn't touch her. Not like this, not after bidding on her at some seedy underground auction. But I wanted to make sure she was safe. How could someone so gorgeous, classy, and smart be a virgin? She said she couldn't be bought. But she was everything I never knew I wanted. And now, she was mine. All mine.
