“No,” I breathe out, refusing to believe it.

I blink a million times, forcing my eyes to focus on the woman on stage.

It can’t be her.

But it is.

How the fuck is Devon standing on that stage? I blink more, shifting in my seat to get a better look, knowing this can’t be right.

The girl on the stage looks exactly like Devon, even from here. The body, the height, the smile… those sultry fucking lips.

But no way in hell did she get away with this. She’s sneaky, but she’s not this sneaky… is she?

The emcee is still talking, but none of the words he’s saying are processing because I still can’t believe that’s her.

Then I remember…

I click the side of the tablet with a trembling finger to wake it up. The air whooshes out of my lungs.

Fucking hell, there she is.

It’s really her.

Through my fog, I hear the emcee listing her selling points.

Certain words stick out to me. Words that don’t make any sense. Words that have me nearly choking.

Virgin. No limits. Eager. Adventurous.

Those words do not describe Devon. Not even close.

This lying little bitch…

I push past my shock, and in floods the anger.

How dare she ruin my night?

I click the bid button when it turns green. I’m quickly outbid, so I tap it again. We go back and forth, the emcee trying to keep up with the fast changing bids.

There is no way in hell I am letting that girl go home with someone else tonight. No way in fuck am I allowing her to get away with this. How the hell is she going to sell herself as a virgin when I know damn well she isn’t one?

My fingers are full on shaking when the bid hits the million mark, but I keep going.

1.5 million…

2 million…

2.5 million…

Fuck, I’m going to go bankrupt over this girl.

It’ll be worth it though.

God, will it be worth it. The amount of revenge I can get on Devon Kensington over an entire weekend has me salivating.

Every time my screen goes red, I make it green again.

If there ever was a way to get back at Devon for what she did to me, forcing her to spend the weekend with me is it. When she realizes who bought her, she’s going to lose her mind. That is enough to have me spending millions on her, never mind all the extra time I’ll have to make her suffer.
