CHAPTER SIX:

The Next Step Of Revenge.

ELENA'S POV

The auction event was grand and bigger than I had expected. Damien and I walked into the event hall hand in hand and the camera flashes were crazy. It was like the whole world went crazy when we graced them with our presence.

We were ushered to our seats at the VIP table and I couldn't help but blush when I saw how all the women stared at me with envious looks on their faces.

Damien was a devil in human form, but he was wanted by all the women, and it was an achievement that I somehow managed to make him my husband. Well, it's all just a contract but I still felt some kind of pride because every lady out there wanted to be me.

“What's with that smug expression on your face?” He leaned in close as he whispered in my ear and I let out a soft chuckle.

“If looks could kill, I'd be dead by now. Can't you see how your admirers are glaring at me?” I whispered back as he gently brushed my hair off my shoulders and he chuckled as well.

“You should consider yourself lucky to be married to me. I didn't just save your life, I'm also making you famous. You owe me a lot, don't you think?” He asked softly as he raised his brow at me and I grinned at his words.

“You think? You're the one who wanted me to marry you so that I could go by your conditions. How come I owe you a lot?” I replied with a question and his gaze darkened as he leaned closer so that our lips were inches from each other.

“Do you go by my conditions though?” He asked as he suddenly placed a soft and swift kiss on my lips, earning gasps from everyone.

We were seated in the front seat and it was obvious that everyone could see us clearly. I raised a brow at him and he raised his as well, like he was challenging me to do the same.

“Wouldn't it be boring if I go by your conditions? What are rules for if they aren't meant to be

broken?” I replied as I placed a kiss on his lips as well and he chuckled darkly at my response.

Messing with him was always so much fun, but I knew it always came with a price. He was ruthless and devious, always wanting to be in control, but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of being in control of me. He suddenly grabbed the back of my neck as he pulled me even closer and I smirked against his lips.

“You keep forgetting who you are. Probably because of your new face. Don't make me remind you.” He growled lowly as he placed his lips on mine and kissed me harshly.

He tugged on my bottom lip and I could have sworn I tasted something metallic, like blood. He kissed me even more ferociously and I responded with as much resistance as I could give.

He suddenly pulled away, and I could see my blood, mixed with lipstick, on his lip as he grinned while I touched my bruised lip.

“A little reminder of who's in control, darling. Look, we're on the screen.” He said and I turned to look at the screen that had zoomed in on us since we walked in. I smirked as I licked my lips and waved slightly before giggling.

“I'm pretty sure everyone is glaring at me right now,” I said as I hid my face behind him and he chuckled softly before patting my hair softly.

“I'll protect you. The only one that can end you is me.” He replied and I glanced up at him to see that he was smiling at me.

“Don't say sweet things like that. You're gonna make my heart flutter.” I teased as someone finally stepped on the stage and he raised a brow at me in confusion.

“How is that considered sweet?” He asked and I leaned closer to whisper into his ears as he rolled his eyes at me.

“Don't you get it, it means till death do us part. It sounds so romantic.” I muttered as I snuggled his arms, and he flicked my forehead gently, causing me to wince in fake pain.

The auction finally started and different items were being displayed on the screen. I wanted to tease him and buy everything that was being auctioned but what if he ended up broke? How, then, would I get my revenge?

I yawned sleepily as I placed my head on his shoulder and he gently patted my hair while he continued to watch the event. Everything was going smoothly until they brought out the last item for sale.

My eyes rounded in shock when I found out it was the ‘treasure ring’. There was only one of it in the whole world and it was here, in front of me… I wanted it so bad.

“You want it?” He asked as he glanced at me and I hesitated for a while before nodding gently. “I'll get it for you.”

There were times he confused me. Where he acted like a real husband.

“You can bid for this item starting from one million dollars!” The bidder announced and people started bidding as high as possible.

“Ten million!”

“Twenty million!”

“Thirty-five million!”

“It's too expensive, Damien, you don't have to worry,” I said nervously and he glanced at me like I had just hurt his ego.

“Do you think I'm that poor? I could buy every item that was auctioned if I wanted.” He stated before turning to the stage and raising his number.

“Hundred million!” He announced and my jaw dropped to the floor. The whole room went silent and even the bidder was shocked.

“My wife wants it, so I have to get it for her.” He announced and the bidder immediately announced him the owner since no one nodded higher than that.

What just happened?
