Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The phone was swiftly snatched away by Julian. "Little Bunny, don't misunderstand," his anxious voice came through on the other end.

Aurora thought about the man who was sometimes gentle, sometimes wickedly charming, and other times downright shameless when he was with her. But she had never seen him flustered like this.

She pictured his current expression in her mind and chuckled softly. "I won't misunderstand. I believe Julian would never do anything to betray me."

"Good, Little Bunny, you're so sweet. Where are you?" Julian asked, catching the sound

of music playing in the background on her end.

"I'm attending an auction."

"An auction?"

"Mm. I promised Candy a reward before. I've had my eye on a ruby that's up for auction tonight, so I came to take a look. By the way, why didn't you answer my call earlier?"

Aurora had tried calling Julian earlier that afternoon. His tone carried a hint of apology. "Little Bunny, I was in meetings all morning with my phone on silent. I got so busy I forgot to call you back."

"Alright, I get it. You're busy. But you'd better keep yourself in check-there are people out there with bad intentions," Aurora said, offering a subtle reminder without naming

names.

She wasn't naive. Mira had deliberately answered Julian's phone earlier, claiming he was in the shower, clearly trying to create a misunderstanding.

Aurora wasn't the type to make careless jokes like that. There was only one possible explanation: Mira was interested in Julian and had resorted to playing games to sow doubt.
