Monolith Strikes

The assembly broke into gasps and squeals. Did Victor really own such inordinate wealth? If so, why did he live the life of a poor bodyguard?

Derek and Sotheby's faces looked like bags of rice had hit them squarely.

Carol was stumped as well. She could not imagine in her wildest dreams that her ex-husband had over six hundred million dollars! Where did Victor get the wealth from? Clearly, he refused the cards of the lady billionaires and insisted on getting his own card scanned. If the man was indeed affluent, why did he hide such a huge secret from his wife?

Everyone else looked at Victor in admiration. Claire was speechless, while Rose and Julia's eyes were wide in shock. What sort of bigwig was Victor?

Derek Shepherd's temper hit the ceiling, and he finally exploded. "No! I won't accept it!"

He scaled the distance between him and Victor with long strides. He stood before the man, his eyebrows twitching in hatred.
