Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 506: How Much I Love Her

Aurora shook her head. "That's exactly why I'm so torn. It's not just me-Julian doesn't know where she went either.

After she left all those years ago, she didn't tell anyone where she was going. Perhaps the years of suppression had been too painful for her, and she wanted to live under a new identity.

Daria must have planned it all out in advance. She wanted to sever ties with the past completely, terrified that someone might discover she was still alive. So, she chose to leave alone.

It's been so many years now. Maybe Daria has a new life, maybe she has a new lover. Not finding her is one thing, but what if you find her and realize she's already married with children? Wouldn't that hurt you all over again?"

"No, as long as she's alive, that's enough for me. If she's married with children, I'll just watch her from afar and won't disturb her happiness.

But if she's still single, just like me, then this time, I'll tell her in person how much I love her."

Denis Vukic was filled with regret. Why hadn't he realized it sooner?

Back then, when she was avoiding him, it must have been because she was running from her feelings. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to stop herself from confessing her love.

What a foolish girl. And he was a fool too. Why hadn't he sensed her feelings at the time? If he had, he never would have let her leave.

He thought back to their high school days, to the time she had started to distance herself from him.

There was one day when it was just the two of them at home. Somehow, a mouse had gotten inside.

Daria had always been terrified of mice. She screamed loudly from her room, and without thinking, Denis Vukic rushed in.

What he saw stopped him in his tracks. She had just finished showering and was wrapped only in a towel. In that moment, he forgot to ask her why she was screaming.

All he could see was a single drop of water sliding down her neck, slowly making its way to his heart.
