“Am I okay? How can you ask that after you bought me like I was some kind of object?!" Hannah shouted. "I was only trying to save you," Roman replied softly. But deep down, he couldn’t deny that he truly wanted her… ... Hannah Macalester had always known her father was selfish, but she never imagined he would go so far as to sell her in a human auction to pay off his debts. Just as filthy men began bidding on her body, Roman Thaddeus—a trillionaire playboy—won the auction with an outrageous price: 100 million dollars. Roman swore he only wanted to help. But the dark rules of The Auction House forced them into a dead end: marry, or face death. Determined to protect her younger sibling from the same fate, Hannah had no choice but to play the role of a happy fiancée in Roman’s luxurious mansion. The problem is, living under the same roof with Roman turns out to be dangerously tempting. As they secretly work with the FBI to bring down the auction, the trillionaire’s charm begins to break down Hannah’s defenses. Can this marriage on paper save not only their lives, but also their hearts?

«Sto bene? Come puoi chiedermelo dopo che mi hai comprata come se fossi una specie di oggetto?!» urlò Hannah. «Stavo solo cercando di salvarti» rispose Roman a bassa voce. Ma in fondo, non poteva negare di desiderarla davvero… ... Hannah Macalester aveva sempre saputo che suo padre era un egoista, ma non avrebbe mai immaginato che si sarebbe spinto fino a venderla a un'asta di esseri umani per saldare i suoi debiti. Proprio mentre uomini schifosi iniziavano a fare offerte per il suo corpo, Roman Thaddeus — un playboy trilionario — si aggiudicò l'asta con un prezzo esorbitante: 100 milioni di dollari. Roman giurò di volerla solo aiutare. Ma le oscure regole di The Auction House li costrinsero a un vicolo cieco: sposarsi o andare incontro alla morte. Determinata a proteggere il suo fratello minore dallo stesso destino, Hannah non ebbe altra scelta che recitare la parte della fidanzata felice nella lussuosa villa di Roman. Il problema è che vivere sotto lo stesso tetto con Roman si rivela pericolosamente allettante. Mentre lavorano segretamente con l'FBI per smantellare L'Asta, il fascino del trilionario inizia a far crollare le difese di Hannah. Riuscirà questo matrimonio sulla carta a salvare non solo le loro vite, ma anche i loro cuori?

"Apa aku baik-baik saja? Bagaimana kamu bisa menanyakan itu setelah kamu membeliku seperti aku ini semacam benda?!" teriak Hannah. "Aku hanya mencoba menyelamatkanmu," jawab Roman dengan lembut. Namun jauh di lubuk hatinya, ia tidak bisa memungkiri bahwa ia benar-benar menginginkannya… ... Hannah Macalester selalu tahu bahwa ayahnya egois, tetapi ia tidak pernah membayangkan ayahnya akan melangkah sejauh menjualnya dalam lelang manusia untuk melunasi utang-utangnya. Tepat ketika pria-pria kotor mulai menawar tubuhnya, Roman Thaddeus—seorang playboy triliiuner—memenangkan lelang dengan harga yang luar biasa: 100 juta dolar. Roman bersumpah bahwa ia hanya ingin membantu. Namun aturan gelap The Auction House memaksa mereka ke dalam jalan buntu: menikah, atau menghadapi kematian. Bertekad melindungi adiknya dari nasib yang sama, Hannah tidak punya pilihan selain memainkan peran sebagai tunangan bahagia di rumah mewah Roman. Masalahnya, tinggal satu atap dengan Roman ternyata sangat menggoda dan berbahaya. Saat mereka diam-diam bekerja sama dengan FBI untuk menghancurkan Rumah Lelang itu, pesona sang triliiuner mulai meruntuhkan pertahanan Hannah. Bisakah pernikahan di atas kertas ini menyelamatkan bukan hanya nyawa mereka, tetapi juga hati mereka?

Standing in the depths of the night garden, Gerhard gazed spellbound at the statue concealed in the shadow of the trees. He was profoundly drawn to the image of the majestic angel, who seemed to be desperately attempting to catch a falling girl. In the semi-darkness, the white stone appeared alive, and it was truly mesmerizing. However, what interested the king most of all was something else. What lay hidden behind the stone mask on the angel's face? Gerhard reached forward, wishing to touch the sculpture, but in the thick darkness, it was difficult to make anything out, as this part of the garden was completely unlit. Attempting to discern the hidden features, he froze for a moment, then retreated a couple of steps to return to the path and fetch a lighted candle. At that exact moment, the silence of the garden was pierced by a distinct, heavy grating sound. Azalea was walking down the path, calmly dragging a heavy blacksmith's hammer straight across the ground. There was not a shadow of hesitation on her face - she appeared absolutely composed, far more composed than she could have imagined herself even a year ago. With one effortless, precise, and surprisingly powerful swing, she brought the tool down forward, smashing the stone angel's head into tiny fragments with a resounding crash. Gerhard froze in astonishment, staring at the cascading stone dust. “Azalea… why?” he breathed, shifting his gaze to the girl. “Please forgive me, Your Majesty,” she smiled broadly and serenely, lowering the hammer. “That statue was simply dreadful.” “So dreadful that it had to be destroyed?” “Exactly so, Your Majesty.” (Created using AI)
