Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 139 I'll Have You

Hayden's attempt was so evident, yet Aurora felt no desire to linger in his embrace.

"I'm sorry. I have to go." She turned and left, leaving Hayden feeling an emptiness as she hurried downstairs. It was only after Aurora had left that she noticed the man leaning against the car door, several cigarette butts at his feet, still holding a lit cigarette.

"How come you're here?" Aurora asked in surprise, her mind previously occupied with thoughts of her mother, unaware of when he had followed her. If he had been following her from the start, might he have misunderstood her relationship with Hayden?

"It's not what you think." Aurora rushed towards him, frantically trying to explain, "I needed to see him for something. There's nothing between us..." Her words were cut off as Julian pressed his lips to hers.

He followed her all the way, his mind filled with countless conjectures, but ultimately, he chose to trust her. Even as he watched them enter the house, he restrained himself, each moment of their meeting tormenting him. His kiss was fierce, as if trying to meld her into him, and after their lips parted, he spoke hoarsely, "I know. I understand everything."

If there had truly been something between her and Hayden, she wouldn't have come out. Meeting his gaze, Aurora suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Julian, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" he asked, curiosity in his eyes, not knowing what she was about to say.

"I've decided to give you the answer early." They originally agreed to speak after seven days, and tomorrow was the seventh day. Julian thought about her recent meeting with Hayden and their past at that school filled with memories and stories. What if she rekindled old feelings?

"Tell me tomorrow," he suggested, hoping she would calm down and not give an impulsive answer she might regret.

"But I want to say it now," Aurora said, realizing how wonderful Julian was after hearing Hayden's intentions. Regardless of Hayden's initial motives, she was sure of Julian's sincerity.
