“Dami. this bitch is downright filthy! I’ve seen it all–never been this hard from just a photo before.”
“Who knew Emma Calloway played the sweet angel so well? Turns out she’s a freaking porn star between the sheets. Talk about fake innocence!”
“Mr. Reed’s one lucky bastard. He’s destroyed the Calloway heiress in the bedroom, basn’t her
A man elbowed another, nodding toward Blake, who lounged at the head table like a king.
I clenched my fists, turning to face my husband.

Blake ignored any hurt, taking the microphone: “Time is limited. Ms. Calloway. If you’re not participating in the bidding. I’ll let my associates begin.
Dozens of predatory grins turned my way.
These men dripped with generational wealth. My last $10 million? Chump change to them.
How could I possibly compete?

Everyone immediately shut up
A few minutes later, I pushed the door open, my eyes puffy and red as I took my seat amid the sea of prying eyes.
“Let’s begin.” I said flatly.
