One night, a servant’s betrayal leads to her kidnapping, and she awakens bound and gagged at a secret auction. As bidders fight for her, she spots Alessandro in the crowd, watching coldly. Instead of intervening, he waits—until he ends the auction with a staggering $10 million bid, claiming her publicly and leaving both the room and her in stunned disbelief.
