Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 541: Super Handsome

Gemma's smile froze. The man didn't even look up, not sparing her the slightest glance.

"Well, I was thinking..." she began, her voice faltering. Men like Denis Vukic-powerful, commanding, and absurdly handsome-were a rare breed. If she could capture the attention of someone like him, she'd finally have something to flaunt in front of Aurora.

People always said, "A man chasing a woman is like climbing a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is like peeling a thin veil." That thought kept her determined. Denis would be hers.

But before she could finish her sentence, Denis raised his eyes for just a second. His voice was sharp and icy.

"Leave."

The sheer coldness of his tone made her blood run cold. His gaze was like a blade, so cutting that Gemma almost stumbled in fright. If looks could kill, she'd have been shredded into pieces.

"S-Sorry," she stammered. Under the curious stares of onlookers, she scrambled away, her face burning with humiliation.

Denis, unbothered, had already lost his appetite. He packed some food for Asher and left the restaurant without a second glance.

Gemma watched him stalk out, his commanding presence leaving everyone in awe. Frustration twisted her gut. She'd finally found someone who could rival Julian in charisma, only to watch him walk away. If she could make him her boyfriend, she'd easily outshine Ian. But this man was so cold! Fuming, she stabbed her fork into her spaghetti, each bite a vent for her anger.

When Denis returned to the suite, Asher was still fast asleep. The two were staying in a two-room suite-Asher had the inner room, while Denis occupied the outer one.

Asher, however, hadn't closed his door the previous night, and Denis, a light sleeper, had been disturbed constantly. Every hour or so, Asher would shuffle to the bathroom and stay there for twenty minutes.

By three in the morning, Asher had finally passed out, his face pale with exhaustion. Denis stood by the bed now, his voice as cold and unrelenting as ever.
