Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 472: NE Is Nothing but a Clown

Aurora used to be much like Daria in personality. Especially when she smiled, it felt as though the entire world lit up.

Over the past few months spent together, Aurora had gradually returned to her true self. There was a softness to her, a gentle light that, for a man long entrenched in darkness, was deeply healing.

Five years had passed-not too long, not too short. Perhaps Denis Vukic had already let go of that past relationship. After years of emptiness, the appearance of another warm woman made it almost inevitable he would feel something.

Julian himself had fallen under Aurora's spell. He knew the special kind of allure she carried, and it scared him. He was afraid Denis Vukic might fall for Aurora too.

Aurora burrowed into his arms and teased, "You're being ridiculous. Do I really have some kind of magic that makes every man fall for me?"

"I wish you didn't," Julian said, stroking her hair. "That way, I'd be the only one who loves you."

"Not upset anymore?"

"No... but it still feels bittersweet. Two people who love each other so much, yet they can't be together. Julian, do you think there's a chance that one day Daria might come back, and she and Denis Vukic could start over?"

"Who can say? Fate is unpredictable. Look at us-we've been through so much, and yet here we are, together."

Whenever Julian saw others parting ways or reuniting, he felt grateful for the chance fate had given him and Aurora.

It was because of that gratitude that he couldn't bear to let anyone come between them. Not even a whisper of it. He had to snuff out any threat before it could take root. Otherwise, they might end up like Denis Vukic and Daria: two people who loved each other but could never be together.
