Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 342: Irrefutable Evidence

Tina stood behind Magnus, unseen by Aurora, who was in the center of the room, recounting the past:

"I once had a happy family."

"My mother was the gentlest woman in the world, and my father loved us dearly. But all that was destroyed by this woman. Born into poverty and dissatisfied with her lot, she willingly became a prostitute. She refused to lead a life of deprivation and sought a wealthy patron among her clients. By chance, she met my Uncle Paul, who financially supported her, yet she remained discontent. Eventually, she set her sights on my father, a man of integrity who never strayed."

"Captivated by my father's character and family background, she used her connection with Uncle Paul to get close to my dad and plied him with drinks. The next morning, she claimed they had slept together, and a month later, she told my father she was pregnant. My kind-hearted father, torn and indecisive, inadvertently facilitated her calculated plans. She deceived my father, claiming to be pregnant with his twins, and gradually destroyed my parents' relationship."

"My mother, ever kind and not one to fight, simply kept to herself, protecting me. Over time, this woman pushed further, aiming to get my mother to divorce. She frequently provoked my mother until she tragically died from a heart attack. Soon after my mother passed, she moved into our home with her so-called siblings.

Their arrival marked the beginning of my nightmare; I never knew such small children could be so demonic."

Aurora said this with a self-deprecating laugh, remembering when Magnus first brought them home, telling her they were her new siblings and she had to take care of them. Though unhappy, Aurora always appeared as the obedient child in her father's eyes and was determined to look after them. Her kindness was met with malice from Ivy and Zachary.

"What did they do to you?"

The captivated audience asked eagerly.

Aurora continued, "Instigated by Genevieve, they sought to drive me out so that they could inherit the entire Montgomery family fortune without having to share it with me."
