Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 453: King

After breakfast, Aurora changed into a fresh outfit before heading out. Originally, Asher had planned to accompany her, but a call from his company required his immediate attention.

"I won't be able to take you there. Be careful," he said.

"Don't worry. I've been here for three years. What could possibly go wrong? Go handle your work. We'll have dinner together tonight. I'm heading out now," Aurora replied.

She got into her custom Porsche, pressed the accelerator, and the car sped off into the distance.

These past few days felt like a vacation for Aurora. She didn't have to worry about company performance or securing new deals. Even driving felt lighter and freer. The familiar streets and scents filled her with a sense of freedom.

The car made its way to the café where she had arranged to meet Mino. It wasn't located in a bustling area, and the surroundings were usually quiet. Compared to the crowded streets of Clothville, this place was peaceful and serene.

Aurora stepped out of the car in her high heels, locked the door, and walked straight into the café.

Seated at the table was a man waiting for her. He, like Asher, was of mixed descent, with strikingly beautiful eyes.

"Miss Montgomery, I presume? I'm Mino," he greeted.

"Hello, sorry to keep you waiting," Aurora said with a smile as she took her seat.

"I just arrived myself. You're very punctual, Miss Montgomery," Mino replied. True to his name, he was the picture of a gentleman, dressed in a crisp white linen shirt that exuded cleanliness and freshness.

Although both he and NE were Lockman's prized protégés, Mino was notably more reserved. He lacked the overbearing arrogance often associated with NE. Instead, he radiated a gentle, calming presence, like a cool breeze on a warm day.
