I saw how Peter’s expressions changed the moment he heard what Matteo had to say. I wonder what it was but didn’t have any time to ponder when I joined everyone else to give a loud applaud. I wonder what happened in these few seconds but got my eyes glued to the stage the moment a very graceful woman appeared. I blinked with my hands going static.

I was sure that I had seen her somewhere but where that I wonder. Her smile was brightest. Her brown curls were flawless and her eyes were kind. Where I have seen her?

“…it is always a pleasure to have you Mrs Campbell but today what you are going to donate is something that is not only close to your heart but also a very priceless necklace. This is my dear friends I am sure the most awaited article too in today’s auction. Though no price can be placed on such a beautiful vintage necklace dated to 1952’s, we have it here to collect assistance for those who need it most. And, we have decided to start it from one million dollars.” And, that got my mouth a little curled.

I have heard a lot about Mrs Campbell but it was the first time that I actually get to see her. She sure looked beautiful in her blue attire and offered a beautiful smile to the audience the moment people started bidding.

I recalled how Mrs Garcia was mentioning it was an heirloom. Everyone here knows that she had lost her daughter and will not have anyone to pass this necklace to. I looked at my left as Mrs Garcia was the first one to say the bid. And, many others followed but I couldn’t look away from the woman who was standing on the stage. I really wonder if she had given up on the idea of ever finding her daughter. But her love for her baby was priceless. She would do anything to make a difference. No matter how big this world was. No matter how little would actually reach her baby that was lost in this world. She would never stop trying.

“Eight Million dollars,” I looked at Matteo who bid for the necklace too. Someone said ten million dollars. And, though the necklace was indeed beautiful I wonder if a piece of jewellery should cost this much.

“Twelve million dollars,” Mrs Garcia’s hold the stick up. This made me recall how Mrs Garcia was asking for this necklace even before it arrived.

“Twenty Million dollars,” Matteo offered and no one tried to bid against this.

Matteo bought the necklace and now I wonder if he will present it to me or…any of his mistresses. I stared at Mrs Campbell as she made her way to the table where Mr and Mrs Anderson were seated at our left. And, now I noticed another man on their table too.

I found Mrs Campbell smiling at something that man said. She was tall and had a slim figure. I could notice her smile wouldn’t reach her eyes but she would smile anyway. Matteo didn’t look in that direction and everyone got busy bidding for the next thing.

The show started again with another singer coming up on the stage. A very famous magician appeared and I was busy looking at the magician who was about to cut the girl in half when I heard Matteo say, “Will you mind coming with me?” I looked at him aware that he was pissed at whatever happened here when he was away.

We two walked out of the venue. I knew no one noticed because of the very low light and the very heated part of the performance. There was no one outside except for three or four persons from the management. They did look at us but didn’t stop us from getting to the lift that was not so far from us.

My breathing got ragged the moment lift closed but he didn’t move and had his composure maintained apparently.
"What do you think about the party? You enjoyed it right?" He asked with a big smile and I looked at him before starting. "I think we should be there...."

The lift opened to reveal several rooms in a hallway and we got into the one that said V.I.P. "Oh no, we should be where I will deem fit." He said closing the door behind me.

“Matteo…We…are supposed to see our guests,” I said but find him taking off his suit jacket. His eyes bore into me while I held my clutch tighter.

“I will get down but right now I need to show you something very important.” His voice was dangerously calm at the end as he made his way to me.

Gulping down I tried to stay strong and curled my mouth up. “What is it?”

“Woah…Did I tell you that I like it when you try your best to smile?” I inhaled sharply when he grazed my arm. I wonder what he wanted. My mouth got dry looking at his smile.

“I need to tell you something about this friend of mine. Exactly the one who…touched what is mine.” I knew he was mad. I knew it when he held the back of my neck.

“Just imagine someone else in the party noticing what just happened?” My breathing got louder when he came closer to say in my ear.

“I…didn’t instigate any of his behaviour,” I recalled how Matteo acted last time when it happened.

“…you are a woman. There is no way in hell that you didn’t instigate it.” And, that got my eyes teary. I don’t know any longer what I am supposed to tell him. I blinked feeling his hand on my back.

“I…I love you. I…told you that I love you. I don’t even think about him.”

“And, that’s good but…you know what…I can’t bear it when he touches you. And, he…he is rich and I have a multilevel partnership with his family. I can’t risk breaking the ties with him. And, with the body of yours…I know you will keep encouraging him with this body of yours.” I looked at him in disbelief. Of course, I was living with the most sexist person in the world. Even his presence was enough to irk me right now.

“I didn’t even know he was here until he reached our table…I swear I didn’t do anything, Matteo” I replied and he nodded his head laughing as if he is taking in what I am trying to say.

“I get it…I know that…but I am not supposed to feel insecure when it comes to a woman who actually loves me. Do you know how it will feel? No, you won’t.” He said as he started walking to me and I hit the wall.
