Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 2: Beg Me, and I Will Help You

As Aurora collapsed into his arms, the man's brows furrowed with alarm. Traces of tears lingered at the corners of her eyes, and her once pristine skirt was marred with leaves and mud. Her shoes were nowhere to be found; she was a pitiable sight indeed. His cold hand brushed against Aurora's delicate face as he spoke in a dangerously charming tone, "I will help you, but there's a price."

A shiver ran through Aurora; danger seemed to radiate from the man's entire being. Swallowing hard, she considered the two men trailing behind her and her eyes hardened with resolve. "Fine, I'll pay you," she asserted, her status as the sole legitimate heir to the Montgomery family giving her confidence.

"Good," the man said abruptly, lifting her into his arms and signaling to someone nearby, "Go ahead."

"Put that woman down!"

At that moment, their pursuers shouted, and she curled up in his embrace, gripping his sleeve tightly. The two brash thugs moved to approach but suddenly, one of them screamed in agony and fell, followed by sounds of an intensive beating.

The man carried her into his car, the driver hurriedly holding an umbrella and following behind them. Aurora felt miserable all the way, trying to distance herself from him as much as she could. She couldn't bear it any longer; she didn't know where he would take her, her mind unable to think clearly. Eventually, the car stopped, and he carried her out, tossing her onto a luxurious European-style king-sized bed.

Aurora felt feverish as she looked at the man standing by the bed, dressed in a black suit. He was tall, his facial features sharply sculpted like a statue, his expression cold and distant, his thin lips curled into a smirk that was not quite a smile. He seemed like an emperor looking down on her.
