Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 120 Promise Never to Return

When Aurora emerged, Cameron was already waiting outside the door, his expression one of surprise as he saw Julian follow her out from her place.

"Miss Montgomery, could it be that you two..." Cameron began.

"Cameron, it's not what you think..." Aurora started to explain, but Julian cut her off.

"Indeed, we are living together," he declared, almost eager to announce to the world his relationship with Aurora.

Cameron's mouth fell open, shocked that Miss Montgomery had gotten together with Julian so soon after her return. He was, after all, a national heartthrob!

"Enough with his nonsense. Let's go," Aurora dismissed and slid into the passenger seat.

"Call me if you need anything," Julian said, still somewhat concerned. "Okay, I know," Aurora nodded.

The car drove along a familiar road. "After all these years, I am back!" she thought.

Outside the Montgomery family's manor, their car was stopped at the gate. As Aurora stepped out to approach, the guard jumped in surprise. "Miss... Miss Montgomery, what brings you back?"

"Open the gate," Aurora commanded coldly.

"Y-Yes, right away," the guard stammered, visibly shocked as it had been over three years since he last saw her.

Aurora chose to walk the rest of the way. The villa looked the same as it did three years ago, unaltered by time. As she walked through the garden, where the plants had been meticulously maintained, it seemed as if time stood still in this place.
