Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 852: Letting Go Tina had aged only slightly since leaving more than a decade ago. She showed none of the wrinkles or weariness often found in middle-aged women. Standing next to Aurora, the two could easily be mistaken for sisters.

John Walsh, tall and dignified, stood beside Tina, perfectly complementing her presence. Speople, it seemed, were destined to miss their chance.

Though Magnus felt a twinge of regret in his heart, he knew that as long as Tina was happy, that was all that mattered. He had hurt her so deeply in the past, and if someone else could now bring warmth to her life, it was the best outche could hope for.

The three of them chatted casually. Tina bore no grudge against Magnus. Perhaps it was because so much thad passed. When she first returned to New York, she would occasionally think of Magnus and even follow updates about his life.

But as the days grew busier, she no longer had the tto dwell on him. At spoint, without even realizing it, she stopped thinking about him altogether. She no longer sought out news of his life or concerned herself with his affairs.

Feelings are strange like that. The more you focus on someone, the more they occupy your heart. But when the day comes that you truly let go, you suddenly realize: When did I stop thinking about them? With no love and no hate, that chapter of her life was finally closed.

"Aurora is here," Tina said, watching as a carriage arrived, carrying someone who looked like a princess. Julian stepped out, holding Aurora's hand.

The crowd erupted into applause, mingling with the sound of the wedding march. White bubbles and rose petals floated through the air. This was Aurora's dream wedding.

She walked gracefully down the red carpet, her luxurious gown trailing behind her. Julian's face was lit with an undeniable smile, one he couldn't hide even if he tried.

He had waited years for this day. The promise made in childhood was finally fulfilled today.

They stood before everyone, exchanging rings and a kiss. Confetti rained down over their heads as Aurora and Julian embraced. Everyone who knew the story of their love understood how much they had endured to reach this moment. At last, they were Happy rogettter." The ceremony followed traditional customs, and one of the final steps was serving tea to their parents. Magnus and Tina sat together.

Given Aurora's pregnancy, nobody wanted her to exhaust herself. "Mom, Dad, please have stea," Aurora said, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. The scene of her family reunited was something she had only ever dreamed of, and today, it had ctrue.

"Good girl," Tina said, unable to hold back her tears. For over a decade, she had believed her life would end by the tshe turned forty. She never imagined she would one day reunite with her daughter, let alone see Aurora starting her own family.

"Be happy," Tina whispered, tightly embracing Aurora. Aurora nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.

The sight of the mother and daughter hugging deeply moved everyone present.

Rebecca, too, wiped her eyes. pulled her into his arms. "Why are you so emotional at someone else's wedding?" "I just am," Rebecca said, burying her head against Mio's chest. She knew, no matter what, would always be the one who understood her best.

"Aurora and Julian will be happy. And so will we. Don't cry, or your makeup will smudge," whispered into her ear.

"Hmph, are you saying I'll look bad?" "Never. You're the love of my life. If I ever disliked anyone, it would never be you," said with a grin.

"Sweet talker." "Well, you haven't tried it yet. How do you know it's sweet?" teased, lifting Rebecca's chin and leaning in for a kiss.

Although they were the best man and maid of honor, and everyone's eyes were on Aurora and Julian, their intimate moment didn't go unnoticed.

From afar, Ivy watched Mio, the man who had once broken her heart into pieces. She used to believe he was incapable of love, incapable of truly caring for anyone.

Now, she realized she had been wrong. It wasn't that he couldn't love-it was that he hadn't yet found the right person. Today, he had. And that woman suited him perfectly. When entered earlier, Ivy had seen him. He was different now, gentler, more composed.

She had heard snippets of his life from others. In the end, he had given up everything. Once, he had used Ivy to achieve his goals. Now, he was willing to give up everything for another woman. Love, she thought, truly was extraordinary.

"Is that him?" Frank asked, sensing something unusual. Ivy had been staring at the man longer than she should have.

The man was handsome, tall, and elegant-everything Frank was not. Compared to Mio, Frank felt a pang of insecurity.

"Yes, that's him. But I don't feel anything for him anymore, Frank. Don't overthink it," Ivy said hastily.

If had been a beautiful dream, then waking up meant seeing the truth. Frank was the one who had stood by her through all the small moments of life. He accepted her as she was, and Ivy felt she had been blessed by fate to have him. She couldn't ask for more.

Still, everyone has that lingering curiosity. When you hear about an ex moving on, you can't help but wonder about them.

"Alright, I won't overthink it," Frank said, though his hand tightened around hers as if afraid she might slip away. Fate had a funny way of bringing people together. Ivy and ended up at the stable.

"Mio, is this your friend?" Rebecca asked, oblivious to who Ivy was.

glanced at Ivy. Of all the people he had wronged, she was the one he owed the most.

"I'm sorry," he said suddenly.

Ivy was taken aback. "You..." Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit novi L5sfor the full experience. You won't find the next chapter anywhere else. Happy reading! "In the past, I used you. I hope you can forgive me," said sincerely.

Ivy smiled. "I used to think I hated I you. But I realized I don't. If not for I you, I wouldn't have met him. So, we're even." Only then did notice the tall man in a simple black T-shirt standing beside Ivy. She looked happy, truly happy.

"Then I'm glad. I wish you happiness," said.

"And I wish you the same," Ivy replied, linking arms with Frank as they m walked past Mio. For the first time, she felt entirely at peace, as though nothing had ever happened between them. After Ivy left, Rebecca spoke up. "Was she your ex-girlfriend?" Her tone was laced with displeasure.

"She was... more like a pawn. I used her," admitted without hesitation.

"Back thend didn't see it as wrong. ΕΠ Now, I know how terribly I acted." "Hmph. You have so many exes." "Jealous?" teased, pulling her closer. "From now on, there's only you, okay?" "No." "Rebecca, don't be mad." "Letbite you, and I won't be mad." "Fine, bite however you want." braced himself tically.

Rebecca turned and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply. "Remember, you're mine. Forever." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
