Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 101 Were You Together Last Night?

When Aurora met Asher, both were at their wits' end, with nowhere to turn and no one to rely on. During the heavy rain, overwhelmed with grief, she even contemplated suicide by jumping into the river. Asher saved her, and from then on, they became each other's support, striving together to reach where they were today. During the hardest times, they shared a meal. For Aurora, Asher was a lifelong friend. They indeed shared a bed, but not in the romantic sense.

However, she knew the truth of their relationship, which others did not, especially the utterly confused Hayden. "You two were..." Hayden furrowed his brow, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless. What right did he have to accuse Aurora? They had been separated for three years. Why couldn't she find a new boyfriend? Asher knew Hayden quite well, having seen him on TV many times and done enough background checks for him, though face-to-face interactions like this were a first. He hadn't forgotten the pain Aurora endured in her first year in America. Without Asher by her side, Aurora might not have survived. Now, facing the root of all troubles, Asher was ready to strike back, knowing Hayden's suffering was nothing compared to Aurora's.

"Mr. Alvarez, thank you for driving me to the airport. My car is here, and we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now." Aurora didn't wish to explain. Whether Hayden misunderstood her relationship with Asher or not, it was no longer her concern. "Mr. Alvarez, see you next time," Asher said with a smile, waving goodbye.

Hayden watched their receding figures, his outstretched hand failing to grasp even a fragment of her garment, his ears catching their voices. "Why are you dressed so conservatively today? That's not your style," Asher teased.

Aurora, accustomed to his carefree personality, replied, "These clothes are from years ago."

"It's strange to see you dress like this. Don't you have new clothes? I'll buy you some. Wait. Didn't I just wire fifty million to your account yesterday?"

Asher was always talkative, and Aurora occasionally responded. Even with her infrequent replies, anyone standing nearby could sense the sweet interaction between them. Hayden glanced at them one last time. Asher's affection for her was evident, and his handsome features matched hers perfectly. Their silhouettes harmonized beautifully, his heart felt as though it was being gnawed by thousands of insects. He left silently through another passage alone, while they laughed and talked. Once, they were a loving couple, and now they headed in opposite directions, as if by fate. No matter how loving a couple was, once apart, they were strangers. Asher looked back and noticed Hayden had left, a playful smile curling his lips. "Tell me, Aurora. Why were you with your ex-boyfriend?"

"We even shared a bed last night," Aurora joked. "What? You slept with him?" Asher exclaimed, his voice rising sharply, drawing the attention of everyone around. "He has a big mouth. After all this time, he hasn't changed a bit," Aurora complained inwardly, stepping on his shoe before speeding up to leave.
