Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 248: Caught in the Act

By the time Aurora and Eric had finished their dinner, Julian was seething with anger, infuriated that Eric even suggested watching a movie afterward. He had grabbed his phone several times, intending to message Aurora to come home, but each time, he reluctantly held back. He didn't want her to leave, yet his heart couldn't settle; despite his dissatisfaction, Julian still considered Aurora's feelings and thoughts.

Eric's intentions were clear: his interest was not innocent. If he were truly just Aurora's cousin, why would he harbor such feelings towards her? It seemed necessary to investigate further. Once Aurora left with Eric, Julian finally emerged from his room.

Aurora was already seated in the passenger seat of Eric's car. Julian, gritting his teeth yet feeling compelled to follow, trailed behind them. "How did you find tonight's dinner?" Eric asked.

"I liked it, but why do you keep calling me that? It sounds odd," Aurora had been meaning to ask this question for a while.

Eric chuckled lightly, "Since you've forgotten, let's leave it be. How about I call you Rory from now on?"

His profile was handsome, and with glasses, he appeared quite scholarly. "Did something happen between us before? Why do you keep saying I've forgotten something?" Aurora looked puzzled at Eric.

"If you really want to know, we can sit down another day, and I'll explain everything. What do you say?"

"Okay."

Their conversation was sporadic as they soon arrived at the cinema. Just as Aurora stepped out of the car, she spotted a flashy Ferrari sports car. With a beautiful car came a stunning woman: Bella, in a fiery red mini-skirt, her figure superb, and her mixed- race features drawing many admiring glances.

"Eric, you're here." Only now could she drop the formalities of calling him boss and instead greet him warmly like a lover.

"Eric, you know Bella gets scared easily, yet you let her watch a horror movie. Who's going to comfort her if she ends up crying?" Jason, with his arm around Bella's waist, approached them.

The woman in his arms stiffened, unable to break free for the sake of their act, and reluctantly leaned on Jason. "She's your darling, so you take care of her. Rory, let's go inside," Eric said, turning back to Aurora with a tender gaze that was painfully glaring, especially to Julian, who was hiding behind a pillar, wishing he could gouge out Eric's eyes and crush them underfoot.
