Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 346: Can't I Change It?

Ivy ran aimlessly, her life unraveling as Zachary was captured and their identities exposed. Their family, once solid, crumbled overnight, everything as erratic as a roller coaster ride.

Just moments ago, she was at the peak, and then abruptly, she plummeted into the dust.

She looked at her gown, a bespoke piece by a European fashion master.

Without the Montgomery family, she was nothing, and images of Magnus's affection over the past twenty years flooded her mind.

She crouched down and wept silently, unaware that this was merely the beginning of a nightmare, and she had debts of karma to repay.

Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her, and before she could react, several men from the car dragged her inside.

When she woke, she found herself in a decrepit warehouse, murmuring, "Where is this?"

In the darkness, she smelled something foul, like rot or sour fermentation, reminiscent of the beggar she had encountered before.

A chill of unease spread through her, and the click of a lighter echoed by her side, casting a beam of light into her eyes.
