Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 503: The Prophet

Aurora walked away with her head held high, pretending as if nothing had happened. But once she reached a secluded spot, she crouched down, hugged her knees, and

began to cry.

She had believed she was strong enough to protect herself and her mother. Yet, her mother refused to let her get involved, wouldn't even speak to her about it.

Aurora felt a deep sadness. She didn't want to just take from her mother-she wanted to give back as well. But her mother shut her out completely. Even though she knew her mother was doing it for her own good, it wasn't the outcome she wanted. She wanted to face everything together with her.

The fear of that curse being real haunted her, but she didn't know what to do. Her mother wouldn't say anything, leaving Aurora powerless to figure out how to protect her.

The memory of her mother's frail shoulders burdened by so much weighed heavily on her heart.

As Aurora cried, soaked by the pouring rain, a shadow appeared overhead. A quiet figure held an umbrella above her. It was Denis Vukic. He didn't ask for an explanation, simply standing beside her, shielding her from the rain.

Raindrops slid off the umbrella, falling to the ground in a rhythmic patter. Passersby glanced at the two with curious looks.

Aurora finally stopped crying and noticed the man standing next to her. "Denis..."

"Have you cried enough?" Denis Vukic's personality was a stark contrast to Julian's. If it had been Julian, he would've pulled Aurora into his arms and comforted her.

But perhaps their relationship hadn't reached that point. Denis simply stood silently beside her, his gaze soft yet pained as he looked at the person before him.

Aurora had always been strong in front of others, but in private, she allowed herself moments of vulnerability. She didn't want anyone to see her weak side, so she chose this quiet place to let it all out.

"Yeah," Aurora sniffled, still hiccupping slightly. She wanted to stop crying, but after such a long release, it was hard to rein it in.
