Chapter 19 - 19

But before he can identify whose shadow it is, the shadow vanishes from his sight. Seeing that Cassian was not paying attention to the auctioneer, he said, Cassian, pay attention to the bidding. Cassian, someone else will take the ring. Focusing his attention on bidding, he said, One billion. The whole crowd got shocked hearing the amount, and no one dared to raise the price. Seeing Cassian was the one who was bidding for the ring, no one was ready to raise the price. The ring was now Cassian's. After the ring, a diamond necklace was presented on the stage. Without thinking, Cassian got that necklace for 70 million, and he storms out of the room to find the person whose shadow he saw just now as he was walking down the hallway. Looking for the person, he hears a familiar voice; going towards that voice, he finds that Aeron, whose hand was plastered, is talking to the manager of this auction house. Aeron feels that someone is watching him and looks back to see if there is someone present or not, but he didn't see anyone and again started talking with the manager. Cassian, who was steering at Aeron, seeing that Aeron is looking toward him, hides behind the wall unconsciously, not knowing exactly why he is hiding from Aeron after having a talk with the manager. Aeron turns around, leaving the auction house from the back gate, leaving Cassian alone, deep in thoughts. Why am I hiding from Aeron? I do not understand why I am behaving like this, he was thinking. Then someone tapped on his shoulder. Turning around, Cassian finds that it is Samuel. Samuel says, What are you doing here hiding behind the wall? We need to go and pay the price for the things that you just brought. Will you now tell me what you were doing here? Cassian said, Nothing. Let's go; we need to go from here. I have some urgent business to attend to. Samuel said, Okay, still looking at Cassian suspiciously, thinking, What is this dork going to do now? Getting their things, they got inside their car. Samuel went his way, and Cassian got in his car, driving toward a beach at full speed. After reaching there, he got outside the car, going towards the beach, deep in thoughts, thinking, Am I really getting affected by each thing Aeron is doing? What am I doing? I should focus on Liora and stop thinking about him.

The other side is with Aeron; when Cassian got inside the auction house, he was not shocked that he entered inside even though I was the one who made the guest list. He is a capable man and can easily buy the invitation. Aeron was looking at Cassian with empty eyes, not angry but empty, not feeling anything towards him that he was the one who snatched my love. Because of him, I am not together with Liora. He was not; he was just thinking it is his fault that Liora does not want to stay with him. He was a man who always blamed himself; he never ever hated Cassian nor Liora.
