"50 million dollars and sold!"
The host leading the auction accepted the final bid, nodding to Jordan.

As soon as the host announced, crowd's attention drafted towards the the owner of the most expensive jewel of tonight.

Gasps were heard from the crowd as everyone's eyes found the one who bade the highest only for a ring?

Guessing he must be a man of crazy expenses. They were indeed right!

The same minute Jordan's cold expression turned out to be more arrogant as he smirked ironically, winning the bid with a single strike.

His presence alone was holding so much power to reveal that he wasn't any easy personality obviously to be able to afford the jewel of tonight.

Jordan stood up from the VIP section dusting his suit once.

Next snaking his right hand inside his pocket holding zero emotions whatsoever over his face.

Having every single eyes on him yet he was not paying attention to anyone in the room but only one.

Hattiea's eyes found him staring at her as she felt weird chills down her spine the same second, to her surprise just like any other person at the venue her curiosity leaded her the same way.

She wanted to acknowledge the man who won the bade for this gorgeous ring but she regretted it right away.

Hattiea's eyes widened, it was as if his oceanic pair of cold firm eyes were piercing imaginary holes on her entire body with his dead stare.

For her, it was the same stranger who weirded her out to no limits.

Yes, he was the same man whom she slapped back in the hallways.

Gulping in literal terror her legs felt numbing down for a straight minute, recalling whatever happened in the hallways earlier.

The smirk still being decorated over Jordan's features appeared to be more proud now as Hattiea seemed too confused to believe his existence.

Although the matter about his identity was still quite uncertain to many because he appeared to be a rare face to most of the guests of tonight.

Hence some eyed him with wild excitement and some with instant curiosity in their eyes while the few who lost the bade, with well intended jealousy.

With his rich visuals, Jordan was a charming man with handsome traits without any doubt.

He seemed to be quite godly young as if he was in his late 20s, still being able to beat few riches in the bid he earned everyone's eyes in a highly respectful manner.

On top of that, he was sitting in the VIP section which kind of portrayed his status to be too highly already...

Jordan was indeed one powerful tycoon but obviously a man with so many secrecies. He had his identity hidden from the eyes of the people most of the time.

He preferred to work in silence, and maybe that's probably why he never earned much of the recognition of the people.

He always have been the kind to never show up in front of people even though he was the god father of the entertainment industry in the states of America.

Declining the chances to reveal his face, he never really wanted any attention to disturb his personal life as well.

All the matters related to press and public events was rather attended by his best and most trusted man, Sebastian who covered all of his actions under his name and represented him till this day.

Whether it was to crack any sort of deal or to manage his meetings or behalf of him, whether it was to attend social events or making huge donations for Jordan's best interest... it was always Sebastian who was familiar with the cameras instead.

Which was also why Sebastian, who was sitting next to him was more publicised than Jordan ever himself was.

Jordan was indeed one unknown character in the world of riches.

But today was indeed different, not giving shits about his policy. He revealed himself without any regrets.

Though he became the main spotlight of tonight but he cared for none at that moment, all the time his cold dark blue eyes were busy in reading the lady who captured his mind the entire evening.

It was none other than, Hattiea.

Only he knew how desperately he wanted her yet he halted himself to not scare her anymore.

She was something, he needed at any cost but seemingly he was a man of morals too.

Just like he committed, he wouldn't want her to come with him without her best interests.

Whatever happened in the hallways must have left a bad impression of him on her but that was just in the moment of heat, how he reacted.

He was never a man of crazy traits to force a woman, hence that's what helped him gain his morals back again.

Even though Hattiea thought he had any bad intentions towards her but little did she know... all he ever cared about was how to save his half dead mother's life at any cost.

He was desperate only for the sake of his mother which was his first priority, unchanged.

Forcing Hattiea at the moment won't be a good act for his will but seemingly on the other side he was thankful for whatever happened back in the hallways at the same second.

Her actions gave him a little clue about her personality and character.

She was a woman of morals and manners too.

With his gaze holding slight enjoyment in them his lip line curved a bit upwards in ease while looking at her expressions.

She wasn't expecting any of it. She was shocked and maybe a little terrified to see him again?

He had never came across such a woman to be honest. A woman who had so much fear for herself yet fighting back with her whole will and might.

Though he had no bad intentions for her but he knew well that she wasn't going to believe him anyway even if he told her so...

It was his first time showing so much interest on a woman as he never had a proper encounter with any in the past.

Not in a way where he stalked somebody and forcefully dragged her to come with him.
Lowkey he knew he deserved to be slapped.

But why that slap made him doubt his intentions now?

Why he was intrigued by Hattiea this much?

Why he wanted to know about her more even though he wanted nothing from her except saving his mother's life by donating her bone marrow?

He was in the moment of dilemma but he refused to think about her more at that moment.

With his dead emotions he moved his eyes from her to the jewel he bought tonight.

The shining Cullinan was his now, but it was not any wise choice of his to know what he was going to do with that ring?

He bought that ring without calculating his instincts but instead, someone else's.

Seemingly he did notice the look of Hattiea, the entire time she paid attention to the jewels being auctioned.

None of the jewels charmed her much like the ring at the last did, like it was her best interest... while just that and Jordan bade for the jewel without any thoughts and won it.

Jordan momentarily gestured to Sebastian who too stood up and approached him immediately.

Mumbling few words on his ears, Sebastian nodded to him without any questions being asked at the moment.

Soon parting the shocked crowd into two with still no emotions over his face, he walked out of the venue without uttering any word while Sebastian approached the authorities.

Sebastian eyes then had a hint of relief while his eyes met with the same lady he has been searching for weeks now, although he too had many questions as to why Jordan chose to follow her earlier and still react so normally.

Who would have known they would find her here out of all the places, guess bringing Jordan here was one of his great accomplishments indeed.

By the looks of her she didn't seem to remember him or any of the thing happened back in the hospital.

Maybe she wasn't even aware about passing the donor's test while still being unconscious.

Sebastian stared at her for a while, judging her as such to record her expressions.

With her eyes looking at Jordan walking out of the venue like that, Sebastian got the clue that his friend slash boss surely did something unpleasant for her to have such of reactions for him.

Though Jordan was eagerly searching for her all those missing weeks but still he didn't take her with him knowing how much she was needed?

What was inside Jordan's head was still a mystery for Sebastian. He did try to wonder a bit but soon he shook the thoughts off his head.

He chose to not mind the lady much and do exactly what Jordan asked him to do.

With his hand reaching the pocket inside his blazer, Sebastian took out Jordan's already signed blank cheque book.

Tearing a page of it he reached for his pen next.

Writing the amount and charity's name on it, he walked out of the VIP section towards ahead the stage while everyone watched him with fascinated eyes.

"Lawrence's... Jordan Lawrence, we won't be collecting the jewel at the moment so get it delivered at our headquarters following your procedures!"
Sebastian uttered handling the cheque to the host with his blank eyes before walking out of the venue as well.

All the whispers became louder the same second after the identity of that rich man was revealed to everyone.

Unbelievably, the crowd was stunned as expected as the mystery of Jordan was now finally solved.

"Jordan Lawrence?"
Jayson found his voice back like others' confused faces, this also attracted Hattiea's ears immediately as she frowned deeply.
