Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 3: You’ll Stay By My Side

On the luxurious European-style bed, the woman's exposed skin was a bruised tapestry

of blues and purples. As her thick, curly eyelashes quivered slightly, her eyes slowly

opened.

"Hisss..." With a slight movement, she realized her body felt completely disjointed. Memories flooded back, and she abruptly sat up in bed.

As the silk quilt slid off, she looked at the marks on her bare skin, realizing that yesterday was not a dream!

The mysterious man was long gone. Aurora, dragging her nearly broken body, made her way to the bathroom.

The shower poured down like a curtain of water, her mind replaying the events of the last night as her fingers dug deep into her palms.

Though she was the sole legitimate heir to the Montgomery family, her mother had died early, and her father had remarried, bringing in two children, a boy and a girl.

She was too young to understand back then, but as she grew up, she realized her father had been unfaithful before her mother passed away, leading her to distance herself from him.

Although she harbored hatred for these people, she had never thought of harming them.

Yesterday was her eighteenth birthday, and according to the will of her mom, she would receive 20% of the company's shares after her eighteenth birthday.

Perhaps to prevent her from obtaining the shares, her stepmother had devised an entire plot just to disgrace her.

The affairs of Susan and Hayden added to her distress. Aurora observed the blood marks she had pinched into her own palm.

Her gaze suddenly turned cold. Since the world had betrayed her, from now on, she needed no one!
