Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 048: What A Trouble

Aurora watched Julian leave without any hesitation, feeling somewhat moved. It seemed that someone of his status should care greatly about his image. Although he wasn't a celebrity, his life was as much a favorite subject of gossip journalists as any star's. There had been no small number of reporters shadowing Julian in the past.

Everyone was eager to dig up some juicy gossip about him, but after following him for a week, they discovered that this man did nothing but work; he was a true workaholic.

It was harder to find any gossip about him than to reach the heavens.

Reporters couldn't believe that someone as wealthy as him wouldn't indulge in romantic or flippant escapades. Even if he didn't seek them out, one would think temptations would come his way. Even a famous paparazzo who followed him around couldn't unearth anything significant.

The final consensus was that this man was either celibate or asexual. He seemed to be completely indifferent to both women and men. That's why Julian was repeatedly voted "The Man You'd Most Want to Marry."

In reality, he wasn't indifferent or abstinent. Aurora, who had been intimate with him, understood how intense his desires could be. His warmth was reserved, sparingly offered only to strangers, and even his desires he kept for her alone.

Her period had conveniently acted as a temporary shield for her. After taking a hot bath, Aurora reflected on how she had felt some emotions stirring while under him. This was not a good sign. Julian was far more dangerous than Hayden; she knew well that a man like him only saw her as prey.

Even if not prey, then a pet. Which owner truly falls in love with their pet? In his eyes, he was the master, and she was merely an object for his amusement. Thinking this, Aurora's gaze grew colder.

The lessons from three years ago were enough; when she decisively left Clothville, only she knew what she endured each night. From her youthful dependency on Hayden and her naive, budding romance with him, to their ultimate fallout.

It had taken her three years to heal fully, so by the time she was in the United States, she had resolved never to let emotions sway her again. The word "love" was simply too painful, especially with a man like Julian. Only she would get hurt.
