Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 334: The Best Man and Maid of Honor

Aurora received the invitation, which was exquisitely designed, featuring a man and a woman embraced, surrounded by a rose pattern that intertwined their names. As she looked at the invitation, it reminded her of many years ago when her design talents had begun to emerge.

One afternoon, the cicadas buzzed ceaselessly in the trees. While sitting on the edge of the seat, a gentle breeze lifted Aurora's delicate bangs. She was sketching and writing with a pencil when Hayden suddenly appeared behind her, asking, "What are you drawing?"

"You scared me!"

Aurora quickly covered her drawing. After a playful struggle, Hayden caught a glimpse of her artwork-a cover of an invitation with a man and a woman happily embracing, above which the initials A&H were playfully intertwined. Hayden laughed, "Ah, so you're already designing our wedding invitation?"

"Who said it's a wedding invitation? I was just doodling, give it back to me."

"One day, I'll use this as my wedding invitation."

Their laughter from that time still echoed in her ears. Now, looking at the familiar invitation, everything was similar to her design back then, except Aurora's name had been replaced with Susan.

Aurora composed herself.

"Congratulations, I will definitely attend to celebrate."

Susan had hoped to provoke her with the invitation, but did not receive the reaction she expected. There was no sorrow in Aurora's eyes, just a fleeting complexity.

Aurora sighed at the passage of time-how things change. The man she once thought she would spend her life with now stood beside another woman. And she had slowly erased his image from her heart, replacing it with another; perhaps time was indeed the best healer of heartache.

"If I could have your blessing, I would be so happy. Make sure you come, I've even prepared your bridesmaid dress," Susan added, shocking both Aurora and Hayden. "Bridesmaid?"

Aurora didn't remember being that close to Susan, close enough to be her bridesmaid.

Hayden's face turned ashen. Didn't he know what Susan was thinking? It was just another way to make Aurora uncomfortable.

If Aurora refused, it would prove that she was indeed hurt and afraid, allowing Susan to win.
