Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 476: My Queen

Her birthday? Aurora hadn't celebrated her birthday in years. Since Victoria's

departure, Magnus had been occupied daily by Genevieve and Ivy, forgetting even his own birthday, let alone hers.

Especially after what happened on her 18th birthday, the pain of that night's memories haunted her. For three years, Aurora avoided her birthdays, letting the date slip by unnoticed, until she eventually forgot the significance of the day altogether.

Asher, who knew the emotional weight Aurora carried, had never brought up the idea of celebrating her birthday. But now, with everything resolved, he felt it was time for her to face and move past that lingering burden.

Julian, ever thoughtful, planned everything meticulously. He invited many of her close friends, including Eric, Emily, Magnus, and Oswaldo, leaving no one out. Mona, tasked with inviting Ian and Heather, accidentally let Gemma overhear her plans. Gemma claimed to be an old friend of Aurora's, and since Mona was unaware of Gemma's true nature, she allowed her to join.

Asher also brought along several high-ranking colleagues from their New York company. The luxurious yacht was filled with familiar faces, and Aurora was stunned by the "surprise" Julian had prepared for her.

The deck was decorated warmly, every detail radiating Julian's love and care. Everyone was cheerful, gathered to wish Aurora a happy birthday.

This birthday marked her 22nd year. For the first time in years, surrounded by her friends, Aurora felt truly happy.

"Thank you, Julian," she said, her voice filled with emotion as she hugged him tightly. Amid the chorus of well wishes, Julian cupped her face and kissed her tenderly.

Eric, watching this from the side, no longer felt the pang of jealousy he once did. The little woman by his side was far too lively to allow him such thoughts.
