Auctioned for the Billionaire Important Ally
EnricoI looked at the girl beside me, clearly depressed, and felt a weight on my conscience for having something to say that would only increase her sadness. However, the time would come to reveal the truth; she deserved to know. We were walking towards our pit box, where our team was stationed, while I reflected on what might have happened between her and the guy who had been following us for a few days.Sarah was clearly in love with him, although she hadn't confided in me about it. It seemed like that night had happened a long time ago.So much has happened since then!On the night I left the nightclub with Rachel, we had only ended up sleeping together. Rachel was quite drunk, which was due to the drinks she had at the club. During that night, she let slip some inf

SarahIn the morning, I felt sad and lonely, but by evening, a scheduling conflict dilemma arose: I had plans to have dinner with both Hillary and Enrico.Indecisive about whom to have dinner with, before I could make a decision, Hillary arrived at the hotel. We ended up talking a lot, and I was able to vent about everything that was happening in my life, including the dilemma of whether or not to contact Kael, who still hadn't shown any sign of life.Since Enrico was also staying in the same hotel, I decided to postpone the important conversation we needed to have. After Hillary returned to the hotel where she was staying, Enrico came to visit me in my room."At least take off your shoes!" I scolded him, bothered by the fact that he had entered my room and sprawled on

KaelAfter my mother's revelations, Ryan and I had a conversation and concluded that the only people who could help us better understand that story were Patrick's daughters.As much as I disliked Rachel, I wanted even more distance from Sarah, as the disappointment I felt toward her was deep. Discovering that she had knowledge of something so terrible about her mother and never shared it with anyone, pretending to be a good and lovable person when, in fact, she was as malicious as her sister, was a hard blow.Ryan seemed to think the same way I did, as we never considered reaching out to Sarah."I believe that if Rachel told Mary about this lead that helped her find Maira, she must know much more," Ryan suggested."Besides the fact that she's easily 'buyable,'" I agreed with his line of thought. "With the right amount, we can have all the information at our disposal. No unpleasant surprises."He stared at me with a disgusted expression, which I shared as well, both of us upset by the

RachelFinally, after repeating the same things for hours, I managed to leave Kael's office, which was a relief. The long plane journey had left me exhausted, but Kael didn't even allow me to rest for a few hours, something I had hoped to do as soon as I reached some luxurious hotel in Seattle.When I noticed Ryan pulling into the garage of the building where I had bought the apartment, I asked, "What are we doing here?""Isn't this where you have an apartment?" he said dismissively, parking the car in one of the spaces.I found it strange that he had managed to enter the building so easily, but I needed to get out of the car as well and follow Ryan, who was already getting out of the vehicle."I know that, jerk. But I can't stay here," I protested, following him."Why not? It's your apartment!" he asked, finally paying attention to me."I rented it to someone, and they have a six-month contract. There are still five months left," I explained.Ryan became visibly irritated upon hearin
Auctioned for the Billionaire An Unexpected Moment
RachelWhen the meal arrived, we gathered in the dining room and ate in silence for long minutes. Back in the living room, I tried to convince him once again to fetch my suitcase."The car keys are right here with me," Ryan said, dangling a key in front of my face. "You just need to go get your things from the garage.""I'd rather sleep in a robe than go to the garage," I replied."You don't have servants at your disposal anymore, Rachel.""Soon enough, things will go back to how they were before. After all, I'm going to take a lot of money from that wannabe all-powerful boss of yours."Ryan acted as I had imagined and seemed to be quite annoyed by my statement, as he didn't fight back, but just turned his back on me, walking over to the panoramic window and seeming to admire the cityscape.Perhaps Ryan was in need of a little lesson and I decided to tease him a bit so that maybe he'd get upset and leave the apartment, if not to get my things from downstairs, but maybe to go once and

KaelRyan appeared shocked by the harassment he was enduring from Rachel, and at that moment, I feared he might faint right there.Rachel briefly glanced at me, but then shifted her attention back to what appeared to be her "brother.""So, Ryan?" I insisted in the face of his silence. "What does it mean that you're Rachel's brother?"Ryan ran his hand through his hair several times, leaving it even more disheveled."I'm your brother, the child of Patrick and Mary," he revealed, sighing resignedly."So, you're the missing twin?" I affirmed out loud, without any doubt about that information.My now-brother walked over to one of the sofas and sat down, clearly dejected. I followed suit because I also didn't feel like standing after receiving this powerful bombshell of news.My assistant is my long-lost brother? This revelation was yet another unexpected surprise."It's the only possibility that makes sense, but I really don't have all the answers," he agreed, lacking enthusiasm."And all

SarahThe next day, at least one of the things Enrico had said proved to be correct because he did indeed win the race and secured the top spot on the podium, putting himself ahead in the championship race for that year. Lorenzo did not perform well in that race, which increased Enrico's favorable point margin.Before heading to the podium for the celebration, Enrico approached where I was, watching everything. The team was in high spirits with another victory at the season's racing circuit. He grabbed my arm and whispered, "Stay close. I'm going to kiss you during the celebration. I want to be in all the newspapers."Although I could have been upset with the idea, I wasn't. Enrico stepped away and headed to his spot, receiving congratulations and well-wishes along the short path to the podium, as was customary for the race winner. I made an effort to stay as close as possible to him.I had dressed up for the day, and even though I was there for work, I had chosen well-fitted moss gre

KaelThe next day, when I descended to the lower floor, my mother and Maira were waiting for me, both seemed ready to go out, and I was puzzled by the development."Can I know where you two intend to go, or is it a secret?" I asked, smiling.It was gratifying to see my mother so well, regardless of anything else. Maira was staying at our house and seemed like a centered woman, willing to build bonds with her biological mother, which was reassuring given the situation.I knew that in cases of adoption, some people developed anger and even hatred for their biological parents, but this was a completely different situation. My mother hadn't chosen not to raise her children, nor had she felt compelled to give them up for adoption. Still, she could have developed trauma from being deprived of the truth for so many years."We're going to meet Ryan," Mom explained. "I want to hug my son after so long of living with him without knowing he was one of my lost babies.""I'm here," Ryan said, ente

Auctioned for the Billionaire Trust and Love
Kael Coming home and finding Sarah was truly a special moment, something I deeply missed during the months we were apart. I was foolish and arrogant, and I prefer to forget about that time. However, today the situation wasn't as pleasant due to Bianchi's inconvenient presence, who came from London to visit my wife. It bothered me quite a bit, although I knew I had no right to forbid this meeting. I love Sarah deeply, but I'm not her owner. She is free to receive whoever she desires, and it's not up to me to impose rules. Nonetheless, I can't deny that I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone with Bianchi, and I wonder what they were talking about downstairs. Where are my mom and Maira when I need them the most? They could be keeping this annoying pilot company instead of wandering around. Initially, I thought about waiting for Sarah in her room, but I wanted to avoid putting any pressure on her. So, albeit reluctantly, I headed to my own room. After a long, hot shower, I wrapped
Auctioned for the Billionaire My Family
SarahThe trip to Seattle is exhausting, despite the comfort of Kael's private jet. However, upon arriving at the mansion, everything becomes more comfortable and easier. Kael has hired a team of professionals to closely monitor my recovery process.Ryan and I had a long conversation. Despite the difficulties after everything that happened, he is still my brother, and we have a lot in common. With Maira, the connection was immediate, and I became fond of her, as well as of our other brother, even before knowing about our blood ties.Mary is a lovely person, and her presence has been crucial in my adjustment. Sharing the same roof with her strengthens our bond, and her help is valuable in all aspects of my daily life.Rachel, on the other hand, remained absent, not giving news or showing interest in visiting me. I feel like everyone avoids mentioning her name, including Maira, who is known for her kindness and gentleness.Hillary is always calling me, and we talk about various topics.
Auctioned for the Billionaire Second Chance
SarahI feel a profound relief when Kael's hand wraps around mine, as if that simple gesture could push away some of the burden I carry. However, the feeling is bittersweet because I'm hiding a truth that eats away at me from the inside, but it also shows me that we're not as different as I thought."I've made mistakes too, by letting myself be influenced by everything Rachel said."I confess because it's the truth. I look into his eyes, seeking transparency, even though I myself am hiding something important. Kael gazes at me attentively, his eyes filled with emotion, and he makes a proposal that catches me by surprise:"How about we write a new story for us, Sarah?" He asks sincerely, and I can see that his words come from the heart. "I'm just asking for a second chance, to do things differently and prove that I'm telling the truth."My feelings are in turmoil, but Kael's sincere and vulnerable gaze moves me. I look at this strong and determined man, who holds my hand so gently, as

KaelThe scheduled time for work appointments went unnoticed because my mind was a tangle of worries. I knew Ryan would have to deal with my absence, but at that moment, I had no capacity to focus on business. I wasn't in a state to think about business, and Ryan would have to handle things without me. After all, the company is also his asset, as he is my brother, and half of the shares belong to our mother.I called Ryan with the intention of explaining my absence and my troubled mind."I already suspected that you wouldn't be able to attend the meeting today," Ryan's voice sounded understanding, as if he were reading my thoughts. "I tried to get in touch with Sarah, now that the diagnosis is confirmed, but she doesn't want to talk to me."The mention of a confirmed diagnosis caught me off guard. Confused, I questioned, "Confirmed diagnosis? What are you talking about?""I managed to briefly talk to Maira on the phone a few minutes ago. She told me about the medical evaluation."The

SarahAfter Kael made his promise to prove his love for me through actions, even though I found it ridiculous, my feelings were in complete turmoil. Without even thinking about what I was about to do, I grabbed the nearest object and threw it against the door.It was my cell phone, and I ended up damaging it, which only increased my agitation. I had never thrown objects around before, let alone with the intent of releasing my frustration."What happened?" Maira asked, entering the room.I glanced at the floor where the phone lay, still intact but probably no longer functioning. She followed my gaze and realized what I had done, picking up the device from the floor. As expected, the screen was cracked in several places."I im
Auctioned for the Billionaire Seeking Forgiveness
KaelEntering that hospital room and finding Sarah lying in the bed, aware of the real possibility that she might never walk again, made me feel like the worst human being in the world. Deep down, I knew my responsibility in all of this was significant, and the weight of guilt hit me like an avalanche.I decided at that moment that, regardless of what she might say now, I would do everything in my power to help her. Even if she no longer wanted me around, I was determined to continue taking care of her, even from a distance."Leave us alone, Maira," Sarah's voice didn't sound like a request, but rather like a firm order. Just from that short sentence, I could sense how the accident had transformed her personality, and not in a positive way."You can call me if you need anything," Maira says before leaving the room. Although her words were directed at Sarah, I knew it was a message for me."What do you hope to achieve by approaching me? Do you think you'll gain sympathy from everyone b
Auctioned for the Billionaire Ignoring the Truth
SarahAlthough no one had the courage, or perhaps it's more appropriate to say "integrity," to inform me about the significant probability of facing paraplegia, this concern had been lingering in my thoughts. Even though I tried to ignore it, I knew it wasn't normal to feel nothing and be unable to move my legs when the rest of my body was functioning fine. However, accepting this reality and confronting the inevitable conclusion was no simple task. Apparently, I had also chosen to deceive myself, preferring to believe in the inappropriate actions of those around me. But after the conversation with Lorenzo, I could no longer delay accepting the truth.I needed to accept that this was happening and learn to deal with all the difficulties that people in the same situation of paraplegia face, something I likely developed due to the accident."It's still not definitive, Sarah," Maira repeated her motivational speech. "The final diagnosis hasn't been given yet, and the doctor said we'll on

KaelDespite Enrico making it clear that he doesn't agree with my past choices, I don't regret sharing this story with him. What matters right now is Sarah's well-being. While I want her back and he's my rival in the competition for her heart, it's crucial that everything is transparent. Honesty is now paramount.No more hiding secrets or telling lies. It was precisely this lack of clarity that led to all this confusion and the situation Sarah finds herself in, lying in a hospital bed with a real possibility of not walking again."Did you manage to talk to Rachel?" Maira asks when we're back in the waiting room."I was informed that she's still in Monaco. But she's not answering our calls, and honestly? Sarah is better off without her toxic presence," I clarify. "Has she been asking for her sister?""Not really. Sarah hasn't been asking for anyone, really. She's been very introspective and bitter since she woke up, and that's not a good sign, considering everything that's coming," Mai
Auctioned for the Billionaire Repentance
KaelI listened carefully to Maira's words and felt my heart tighten with sadness. I wanted to be by Sarah's side at that moment, offering the support that, out of pride and being a complete fool, I hadn't given before – the love I felt for her."I don't understand why the doctor doesn't just tell Sarah the truth!" I vented, genuinely outraged. "I don't see any reason to keep her in the dark like this."Maira had just informed me that Sarah had already noticed the lack of movement and sensation in her legs, and now I had many questions, especially after the doctor's visit in the morning."Something else happened today," Maira said, looking somewhat apprehensive."What?""She agreed to see Enrico.""I can't believe she agreed to see him, but can't even stand to hear my name!" I said, irritated."Her relationship with Enrico is very different from what you both had, Kael," Maira tried to calm me down. "From what I understand, considering both of their reports, you made a serious mistake
