Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The room fell silent, and the entire world seemed to pause. According to Mio's original plan, there were supposed

to be other activities following this moment, but everything had been abruptly halted by what had happened

today.

The flowers had clearly been arranged in advance and handed over to the courier, but had never anticipated

the sudden turn of events. By the the realized what was happening, it was too late to cancel the delivery;

the flowers had already arrived.

The silence in the room was oppressive. If Rebecca had still harbored suspicions that was merely putting on

an act, those doubts were now gone.

If he had intended to deceive her, there would have been no reason to tell her everything. He had even revealed

the details of how he had secured the order.

Rebecca sat on the floor scattered with white rose petals, leaning against the wall, her mind blank. His voice

echoed in her ears.

She had always known he cfrom the Walsh family, but she had no idea about the depths of his background.

At this moment, Rebecca found it impossible to hate him anymore, especially when she thought of the sorrow

etched on his face as he left.

She sat alone in the house for what seemed like an eternity. Every detail of the room's arrangement had been

designed to suit her preferences. He had truly wanted to build a hwith her, while she had mercilessly hurt

him.

Mio, devastated, drove back to the company and suddenly remembered the flowers. He quickly called the

courier service to try to cancel the delivery.

"I'm sorry, sir. Our new intern had already delivered the order half an hour ago to the recipient," the courier

replied.

"Alright, then." let out a bitter laugh. She had probably already thrown the flowers into the trash. In her eyes,

he was nothing more than an irredeemable villain.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Aurora had just secured the order and was ecstatic. She invited Julian to

lunch to celebrate.

Julian, struggling with his conscience, considered telling her the truth several times but ultimately decided

against it. He didn't want to disrupt her focus. It would be better to wait until she officially becthe head of

the family.

Aurora was in high spirits throughout the meal, especially when she recalled Mio's and Mr. Barnet's stunned

expressions. The thought made her heart swell with satisfaction.

"What's got you so happy? You look like you're about to burst into laughter," Julian teased, amused by her

radiant mood.

"To be honest, this order means everything to me. Now | can finally breathe a little easier," Aurora replied,

feeling as though a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

"As long as you're happy," Julian said, his voice as gentle as always. Every this tender gaze met hers, Aurora

could feel her heart race.

After this, she knew she'd have to distance herself from him. She had previously used the order as an excuse to

stay close to him, but now there would be no reason to do

So.

Aurora was acutely aware that if she continued spending twith Julian, she might truly fall for him. Perhaps

she already had. But that was something she couldn't allow to happen.

No matter how much she liked him, she couldn't betray her baby's father. Although she had no idea what had

happened to him or why he hadn't appeared, she couldn't shake the thought that he might be angry with her for

choosing her family over him.

Lost in thought, Aurora barely noticed Julian's curious gaze. "What's on your mind?" he asked.

"Nothing," she replied hastily, shaking her head. How could she possibly tell him she was torn between him and

her child's father?

"You look pale. Didn't sleep well last night?" Julian asked, his concern evident. "Why not take the day off and get

srest at home?"

"That's probably a good idea," Aurora agreed. Now that she had secured the order, she was ready to take her

place as the head of the family and reshape both the company and the family's future.

Although she had temporarily taken over her mother's position, still held control over the most critical areas.

She was little more than a puppet with no real authority. But now, everything was about to change.

Mr. Elderstone had already scheduled the family conference. Aurora just wanted to get a good night's sleep

before the meeting, which was set for eight the following morning.

Julian drove Aurora back to her villa. Before getting out of the car, she politely bid him farewell.

This day would mark a turning point for many people. News of Aurora securing the order had already spread

throughout the family.

Mio, on the other hand, spent the entire night awake. His career had suffered a heavy blow, and he had lost in

love as well. He sat alone from dusk until dawn. Only when the servants urged him did he finally take a shower,

change his clothes, and head to the conference.

The phrase "all is lost" seemed fitting at this moment. walked into the meeting room with a calm and

composed demeanor. He had expected his emotions to be far more complicated, given that he had failed. His

dreams were shattered, and his life was returning to its original state.

But in sways, a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He no longer needed to fight or compete for

anything. Life seemed less burdensome, and he found a strange sense of peace in accepting the outcome.

He owed this clarity to Rebecca. She had made him truly understand how immoral it was to manipulate others"

feelings to achieve his goals.

It was as if a blade had been taken to his heart, carving away piece by piece. Perhaps this was the debt he owed,

and one day, he would have to repay it all.

In stark contrast to Aurora's excitement, had endured a scathing reprimand from Mr. Grant after returning

the previous day. remained silent throughout, allowing Mr. Grant to vent his anger.

Mr. Grant had used the most degrading language to berate him. Mio, who had always respected him, now

realized that Mr. Grant had only ever seen him as a pawn to fulfill his own ambitions.

In the end, everything was a lie-family, love, all of it.

Aurora noticed Mio's somber expression and found it odd. It was just one lost order. Did it really warrant such a

reaction? This wasn't like him at all.

The conference room was the sas before, with the sfamiliar faces. The only difference was that last

time, Mr. Grant had been as proud as a rooster, eager to announce his victory to the world.

Now, however, he sat with his head lowered, looking dejected. Mr. Elderstone, for his part, remained calm and

composed, showing no signs of gloating.

When Aurora entered, the room fell silent.

"Good morning, everyone," Aurora greeted. The attendees, who had once looked down on her, now regarded her

with solemn respect. None dared to act out of line.

"Good morning, Miss Aurora," they replied in unison.

"Today, we're here for an important announcement. The task set by Mr. Grant and myself has been completed by

Miss Aurora. According to our agreement, she is now the head of the family. Does anyone have any objections?"
