Chapter 4
Aria called him with shaking hands, her voice raspy. “The photos… you leaked them?”
Alexander laughed coldly. “Didn’t you love those no limit bids?”
”
“If you don’t want people seeing those photos…” His tone turned cruel. “Better hurry over and bid on every single one, Go on -bid on every damn one.
In the background, Savannah’s voice dripped with sweetness. “Alex… is that her calling? Maybe I should just go… I shouldn’t be with you anyway…”
“Don’t say that.” His voice instantly softened, followed by the sound of kissing. “I already stood up for you, baby. Don’t you dare walk away again–you’re not allowed to leave me!”
The call disconnected.
Feeling like she’d been dunked in ice water, Aria rushed to the auction.
When she pushed open the doors, she trembled all over.
The room was full of men, and her private photos were scrolling across a large screen.
There was one of her sleeping face that he once called cute and saved specially.
Another showed her back as she showered–he’d convinced her to let him take it, saying he wanted something to look at when he missed her.
And there were bedroom photos with her naked body covered in love marks. He’d said they were proof of his love for her.
At the auction, men’s hungry eyes stuck to Aria while their comments cut into her like knives.
“That curve… damn, Sterling’s one lucky man.”
“Wasn’t he all about his wife? So why’s he selling her private pics now?”
“Got bored of her, obviously. These trophy wives look good in public, but behind closed doors…”
Each comment stabbed Aria’s heart.
She suddenly remembered how possessive Alexander used to be.
That vacation on the island, she wore a backless dress and some guy looked at her twice. Alexander immediately dragged he fucked her against the window, making her repeat: “I’m Alexander’s”
Now, to stand up for another woman, he was personally selling her intimate photos for these bastard men!
She bid on each photo, her heart growing colder with every press of the button.
By the time she finished bidding on the last one, her love for him had completely drained away.
As she left the auction house, her phone rang.
“Have fun with your no limit bidding?” Alexander’s voice was mocking.
Aria gripped her phone, nails digging into her palm. “Aren’t you worried I’ll divorce you after this?”
His tone was casual, like he was talking to a child. “Aria, without my signature, you’re stuck with me.”
She said nothing
He’d clearly forgotten about the divorce papers he’d already signed that she kept.
Taking her silence as submission, Alexander softened his tone. “Today was just a lesson.”
He paused. “I told you, Aria – just leave Savannah alone, and I’ll come back to you. Simple as that.”

“Your birthday’s coming up. I’ll throw you a party or whatever. Happy now?”
Aria was about to say “don’t bother” but he’d already hung up.
Over the next few days, she kept seeing Savannah’s ins posts.
The latest post? Alexander holding her on a yacht: “Wanna see the ocean, so he bought me an island.”
Scrolling down showed more:
“He’s allergic to cat hair but got me a ragdoll kitty anyway~”
“His phone is FULL of my pics, teehee.”
Before, this would have crushed Aria.
Now, she felt nothing.
Alexander had been staying at Savannah’s place lately. When he did come home, he didn’t even notice things missing from the house.
He probably wouldn’t even notice if she disappeared.
