Love Addiction: Doting On My Love by Wendy

Chapter 0123

“Forty million!”

The crowd's lunacy was evident; an ordinary woman was fetching such a colossal sum.

“One hundred million!”

As a bid was raised in a corner of the room, a soft and deep male voice sounded out.

The crowd buzzed with excitement, turning to see the bidder. He locked eyes with Lucius. It was Edur. His

gorgeous face, capable of enchanting both men and women, bore a playful smirk as he returned Lucius’s stormy

gaze.

Both men were remarkable in every way. Lucius embodied a severe, melancholic allure, while

Edur exuded a free-spirited charm.

“Let her go!” Lucius demanded authoritatively. He was confident in doing so, because he knew Edur could no

longer oppose him.

Edur rose and declared, “Once an item enters the Elysium Club, it abides by our rules. We operate

on sales, not charity. Unsold items are destroyed.”

“You really want to fight me?”

Lucius widened his eyes, incensed at the sight of his woman being scrutinized by so many men.

“Why not continue the fight that’s already started?” Edur retorted, keeping his cool even though Lucius had

cornered him.

“Two hundred million!” Edur increased his bid once more, reaching a new record for himself.

The conflict between the two men captivated the onlookers. A collective gasp filled the room when Edur upped

his bid, shattering his previous record.

While this defied the club’s norms, being the ruler of this club, Edur made the rules.

Lucius smirked. He was no longer irate; he snatched the bid card from Edur, and confidently

announced, “Ten billion!”

The audience was stunned into silence, as if witnessing an illusion.

Who would bid ten billion for a woman? The crowd was too shocked to counter-bid.

Edur shook his finger, unable to bid further with the card now in Lucius’s possession.

+15 BONOS

Lucius warned. “Consider this carefully. Ten billion could sustain you for stime. If you're not interested, that’s

fine with me. I'm not overly attached to her.”

Destruction was the inevitable end awaiting Edur.

Edur’s face contorted. His perfect disguise finally collapsed.

After a brief pause, he began clapping and announced, “I hereby announce that tonight's prize is sold for ten

billion.”

Bang! When the gavel fell the item was sold.

Lucius was masked as he was escorted through a special entryway by an auction house's employee. Someone

had opened a door specifically for him.

He picked up Violet, draped in a blanket, under the envious glare of the crowd.

“Welcto the Honeymoon Suite, prepared just for you. Enjoy your night,” a club employee greeted, handing

over a bright red key with a warm smile.

Such special treatment was reserved for those who secured auction items.

Lucius accepted the key, and went upstairs.

Violet, groggy and disoriented in his arms, struggled in discomfort.

Because of the colder temperature, she was barely hanging on in the glass room. When she was

in his embrace, his masculine scent engulfed her. She felt electric currents rushing madly through

her body, driving her insane.

Violet writhed in his arms, attempting to break free and flee his hold.

“Let go,” she murmured as her breath softly brushed against Lucius’s skin.

“Getthe antidote now!” Lucius shouted, his temples throbbing.

Shrugging helplessly, the worker responded, “There’s no antidote for this drug.”

Their primary concern was satisfying clients, not the well-being of the auctioned items.

“Damn it!” Lucius cursed. “Tell Edur! I'll reduce this damn place to a landfill by tomorrow!”

That staff member bowed his head in silence.

Lucius kicked the door open in the room, and carried Violet inside. He resolved to cool her down with a cold

shower, not wanting to exploit her vulnerable state..

Lucius was not a saint, but he didn’t wish to claim her under these circumstances.

+15 BONOS

Violet encircled his neck, and begged, “Don’t go.”

“Violet!”

His body heated up her soft breath on his skin, but he tried to keep her at bay, calling her ngruffly.

Oblivious to his turmoil, Violet persisted in her attempts to draw closer, her judgment

clouded by the drug, leaving her unaware of her actions.

Lucius forcefully distanced her, but she responded by sensuously taking his finger into her mouth.

“Violet!”

His self-control collapsed, and he shoved her into the bed,

It had been a long night. Violet had a vivid and long dream. She was immersed in an endless. intimate escapade

with Lucius, enveloped by suggestive sounds.

“How embarrassing,” she mumbled sleepily, reluctant to open her eyes.

“Embarrassed? But you seemed Insatiable,” ca teasing, cold voice nearby. It was the voice of

a man.

Violet's heart clenched, and she almost lost her cool. When she opened her eyes, she noticed a

man lying next to her.

It was a man! His powerful arm, casually lying on the bed, was the first thing she noticed, followed.

by his muscular chest.

“Argh!” She sprang out of bed. The movement was so abrupt that she pulled all the blankets

toward herself.

Naturally, Lucius was left exposed and lay there bare.

“Gah!” She covered her eyes and turned away. “What happened?”

Lucius gazed at her coldly, unfazed by her reaction. He lay there nonchalantly, and said, “Violet. be grateful. If

not for me, you could've been with someone else last night.”
