"Don't talk to anyone, not even any women. Smile and behave like we are a happily married couple." With that, he started gently dragging her inside the venue. Many reporters snapped their pictures and she unconsciously clutched his coat.

They entered the venue and again she had no idea why she was even surprised after seeing such a vast event. It seemed like an auction. There were diamond necklaces and earrings displayed in front.

Cyrus left her waist as soon as they entered the venue. He looked around but didn't forget to take a glance at her. He internally sighed when he finally found himself being so close to her.

It was torture for him to not look at her in the car when she was looking this beautiful. Grabbing her waist wasn't necessary but he didn't want to let this chance go.

"Come with me." He said making her follow him towards a table. It was in front and it was completely empty. There was his name written on the card standing in the middle of the table.

They took their seats and Hazel moved her eyes here and there and when her eyes suddenly fell over a familiar face. Those familiar dark eyes shot an evil smirk towards making her look away instantly.

Aaron Parker. He was sitting beside an unknown woman staring at Hazel like a creep. She uncomfortably shifted in her place when suddenly she felt an arm being wrapped around her shoulders.

She looked to her side finding Cyrus holding her near him in a possessive manner. His eyes were continuously staring at Aaron. After he wrapped his arm around her Aaron also moved his eyes towards Cyrus but didn't remove his evil smirk.

He raised his glass towards Cyrus but got no response. Cyrus's face was completely blank. He slowly turned his head towards Hazel who was busy looking at her lap. He sighed gently grabbing her chin making her look up at him.

"Do not get disappeared from my eyes alright. Even if I have to go and talk with someone, stay in front of my eyes. This place is not safe and now to think of it. I shouldn't have brought you here." He whispered the last sentence looking away from her but Hazel heard him.

Just like that, the event started and the auction of necklaces started as well. Hazel noticed how Cyrus's eyes were stuck on only one piece of necklace. It seemed like he was here to buy that necklace.

She wouldn't deny the necklaces were extremely beautiful but they were way too expensive. The necklaces kept on being auctioned one by one and not even once did Cyrus bid. He kept on staring at the only necklace piece with a calm posture.

And now it was the turn of that necklace. And as expected he bid. "50 million." His thick voice echoed in the venue and that's it. No one dared to bid against him. Not like they could, his first bidding price was already too high to match.

"70m." Cyrus's lips curved up into a small smirk hearing a familiar voice. He expected that. Aaron wasn't here to bid on anything he just wanted to compete with Cyrus and that's what he was doing. He wanted to snatch Cyrus's interested jewelry first and this time no matter how high it will be he had to win.

"150m." Gasps filled the area making Aaron glare at the smirking man.

"Going 1, 2---"

"200m" Aaron yelled in frustration glaring at Cyrus.

"Going 1,2 and Sold!" Aaron smirked turning his eyes towards Cyrus expecting to find anger or helplessness for the first time in his eyes but nothing. His smirk fall off when Cyrus still had a smug face.

Cyrus chuckled deeply making Hazel confused. Why he was still happy? The necklace he wanted already got sold. But Cyrus' mind was always 100 times more cunning than anyone.

The next piece appeared on the display and this widened Aaron's eyes when he realized how Cyrus fooled him. Cyrus was never going to buy the necklace Aaron bid on. It was just to lose his capacity to bid further.

"100m." Cyrus contested making Aaron gulp down. He tried to raise his hand but stopped. He couldn't, he already has wasted the money on a necklace that wasn't as worthy as this one.

And without any fight, Cyrus got the necklace in one go. He not only saved his money but also grabbed the best necklace at the event. His smug face irked Aaron and he wanted to do something. Something that could ruin that smirking face of that bastard.

His eyes traveled towards the timid girl staring around in confusion. And that's it. A small evil smile got settled over his face. If he's not happy with this night then he wouldn't let Cyrus be happy as well.

Standing up he walked away calling someone on the way. Cyrus as well left Hazel alone on the table. He wanted to take her with him but he knew she wouldn't be able to stand for too long plus the discussion was too business-type.

He kept his eyes on her all the time while talking to the man in front of him. Hazel looked around and found a set of food in the corner of the venue. And yes, it had cupcakes. She looked at Cyrus who looked at her as well.

She pointed at the food stall and he nodded at her. She happily walked towards the stall and grabbed a piece of cupcake. She munched happily on it making Cyrus smile secretly as he was busy keeping his eyes over her.

He was staring at her when suddenly someone bumped into him. "Fuck!" He cursed when the waiter dropped the wine over his blazer. He glared at the waiter who was busy apologizing.

After composing himself he instantly looked at his wife but got a mini heart attack when he found no one there. His breathing accelerated when he looked all over the place but found her nowhere.

He looked at the waiter and he was already out of his sight. "Fucking hell!" It was a trap for him to remove his eyes from her and he did.

Leaving the man behind he ran towards the backside of the venue in fear. There were many rooms and bathrooms in that area. He cursed again looking around. His gut feeling told him to go to that particular room having a rough paper attached to it and he did.
