Ava Lucas Alexander Novel Sold By My BF, Bought By A Billionaire

To go on a solo trip with his childhood sweetheart, Lucas posted online to have other men take care of me.
[One girlfriend, hot body, proactive in bed. I'll be away for three months, looking for a decent guy to watch over her.]
When I saw that post, my heart went cold.
Our wedding was in three months.
But he was already tangled up with another woman.
Not just thathe was handing me off to another man himself.
Just as I was about to break up with him,
a new message popped up under the post:
["I'll pay ten million. Give her to me."]

My fingers froze, and I clicked into the user's profile.
He had sharp, deep-set features that looked familiar, but I couldn't place him right away.
Meanwhile, Lucas was packing his bags, casually telling me,
"Ava, I need to accompany Isabella to Europe for three months. She's been down lately.
I don't like you being alone, so I've hired a reliable caretaker for you. This ten million can be your allowance."
I closed my phone and stared at his face.
I'd met Lucas at work, and our wedding was set for three months later.
Isabella was supposedly his first love from his startup days, sharing a tiny apartment and instant noodles.
But after Lucas made it big, his family forced them apart, saying he had to marry someone from a similar background.
That's when he turned to me.
Back then, I'd had a crush on him for ages, so when he pursued me, I thought it was fate.
Turns out, I was just a tool for him to secure his statusa marriage of convenience.
His true love was someone else.
Snapping out of my thoughts, Lucas's phone buzzed.
[Your account has received: 3333-77770,000,000.00.]
He paused, then immediately checked the details.
I saw his face darken.
"Alexander?" he spat out, almost gritting his teeth. "How could it be him?"
Alexander, the rising star in the city's elite business circles, known for his ruthless, unpredictable moves.
Also Lucas's biggest rival in business.
Lucas's expression was grim, but he forced a smile.
"You know Alexander. He's from a good family. I trust him to take care of you."
I found it laughable.
He wasn't trustingmoney talks.
With enough cash, he'd ditch anyone, no matter how long they'd been together.
I nodded softly. "Okay."
Lucas was taken aback; he probably didn't expect me to be so compliant.
But once I saw his true colors,
this man didn't deserve a spot in my heart anymore.
Lucas gave me a complicated look, then answered a call.
His voice turned unusually gentle.
"Isabella, I'm almost at the airport. Don't worry."
He walked out without looking back.
I sat in the dark room for three hours straight.
Then I threw all our photos from over the years into the trash.
Along with the matching necklaces, bracelets, and rings he'd given me.
I listed them all online for $9.99 each.
After that, I got a message from Alexander.
He said he was downstairs to pick me up.
My heart skipped a beat as I slowly dragged my suitcase down.
A black Bentley pulled up to the curb.
A man in a black coat stepped out, long legs striding forward.
The night blurred his stunning face, adding to his intimidating aura.
When he saw me, he gave a slight smile.
"Hello, Ms. Ava."
"I'm Alexander, here to collect you as your 'employer'."

He naturally took my luggage and put it in the trunk.
We didn't exchange any extra words.
"Are you upset?" Alexander asked suddenly.
I knew he meant about Lucas.
I said softly, "Someone who'd abandon their loved one for money isn't worth my tears."
I just hated that I hadn't seen his true self sooner.
Alexander's lips quirked slightly.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked.
"Anywhere."
"Then to my place."
I didn't object.
Alexander's home was a penthouse in the city's top riverside area, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city lights.
