Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 467: I Missed You

Julian met her earnest gaze. "Haven't you already learned everything about my past?" His eyes flickered with hesitation, as if unwilling to revisit those memories.

"No, I don't know. Not at all. For instance, this Daria." Aurora turned his face to meet hers directly.

A sudden fear gripped her. She was terrified that there might have been another woman before her-perhaps someone he had deeply loved. What if the romantic love she believed in was nothing more than a carefully constructed lie? What if she wasn't truly his one and only?

Back when their relationship wasn't as deep, Aurora never thought about such things. She used to tell herself not to trust men.

No matter how kind a man appeared to be, there was always a motive, always conditions attached. No one would be good to her without reason.

Aurora repeated this mantra to herself time and again, but those words lost all power the moment Julian appeared in her life.

She began to open her heart, allowing herself to believe in love again. She dared to trust this man in front of her.

In just a few months, she had given him feelings a thousand times more intense than what she had ever felt for Hayden.

Back then, being with Hayden had been like children playing house. She hadn't understood what love or passion truly meant.

It wasn't until Hayden's betrayal that she realized love could be synonymous with pain. But after meeting Julian, those scars disappeared completely.

Love wasn't about pain. Love was about cherishing one another, about treasuring the relationship above all else.

She had placed love on a sacred pedestal. If someone were to destroy that love now, how could she possibly cope?
