I Am The Luna

Chapter 474

Chapter 0474

Silence falls around us, but I ignore them looking ahead.

It's an oil painting, but any hand-painted picture requires one's presence and being around something leaves a scent. I'm sure I can sniff out who it belongs to if they're here, anyway.

"We will start at fifty dollars."

No one speaks and I raise my card.

'What are you doing?' Valerie asks, confused.

'Wait and see,' I respond, drawing circles on her sexy thigh. Oh, I want to fuck her. She looks so fucking good. 2

Hesitantly, someone else joins but it is just one old man and me. No one else daring to bid.

"Four hundred dollars." I raise my card again.

"Do we have four hundred and fifty dollars?"

I glance at the man, who pulls at his collar but doesn't raise his card.

"Congratulations, it's yours Mr..."

"Toussaint. Zade Toussaint," I say clearly, making another wave of unease filter through the room. Everyone knows the name, even if it's not associated with me, but Zaia.

"It's yours, Mr Toussaint." I nod curtly as we continue eating. Excellent.

Chapter 0474

The moment we're done eating I make my way over to one of the organisers, with Valerie by my side, taking out the money owed. "Mind if I see my canvas?"

"Not at all," he says politely, counting the bills.

I glance around, finding Cassian watching us, and give him a nod. He smiles slightly, but he's on edge, I can see that. Almost as if he doesn't know what I'm up to. Which I'm certain he doesn't.

My phone vibrates again as we are taken into a side room, and the painting which sits along with all the other items that were won in the auction now has a tag with my name on it. It's picked up and brought over.

'See if you can sniff out any scent from it, I say to Valerie through the mind-link, wanting to test her skills too as I glance at my phone.

ADRIANA: 99.9. Maybe get out of there before this thing hits 100, which I think will happen at any minute.

We're close. My heart thuds as I look up at Valerie, who takes the canvas and holds it close to her nose, sniffing once. She closes her eyes for a second before they fly open.

'Cassian...' Her face pales and my eyes flash.

Thought so.

I turn, motioning for her to follow as the confused staff member looks between us. My eyes glimmer as I grab Valerie by the waist and lead her out of the room, searching for Cassian. But he's nowhere in sight.

'Where's he gone?' Valerie asks.

'We'll find him,' I reply quietly. "Let's get out of here."
