Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 173: A Sweet Dream

Aurora had always been a good girl back in Clothville, her days spent between school and home, unaware of the storms brewing outside. It was only natural that she hadn't heard of Mr. Coleman upon her recent return from the United States.

"What does he mean by 'done'?" Aurora was puzzled.

"Mr. Coleman is a nickname the streets gave him; he owns the world's largest chain of casinos and wields tremendous power. I owe my success today to both Irene and his assistance. The issue with Zachary required his arrangement. I called Irene because only she could ask Nick for help. Zachary probably has lost a lot of money last night."

"And what is the relationship between Irene and Nick?" Aurora thought of the enchanting woman she had met the day before.

"Just a tortured love affair," Julian sighed, thinking of their complicated relationship. "What do you mean by 'tortured'?"

"They love each other but can't be together," Julian, who saw things clearly, explained.

He picked up his phone and typed a few words before showing his response to Aurora: "And Irene?"

"Do you hope they reconcile?"

"Of course, just like Irene once hoped for you and me. Initially, Hayden stood between us, then you disappeared and went to the United States. Much has separated them as well," Julian sighed.

Aurora understood that Julian also hoped for their reconciliation, thus using Zachary's incident to bring them together.

"Don't worry, as long as there's love, no distance is too great. No matter how time passes, those who love each other will eventually be together."

Aurora could feel the melancholy in Julian's heart. As an observer, he could only do so much for them.

"Yes, they certainly will," Julian nodded gently, holding Aurora tighter, "One only realizes the value of something once it's lost. No matter what others say, I will never let you go in this lifetime."
