Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Outside, snowflakes were falling gently, but inside, it was warm like spring. Aurora's voice was melodious, clear like a mountain stream, smooth and captivating.

Most of the time, he was the one in control-whether at the company or in bed. Everyone was used to bowing their heads, gauging his mood to act accordingly.

He had grown tired of such a life long ago. But meeting Aurora brought a ripple of change. Watching her speak passionately, her face glowing with enthusiasm, he suddenly felt life wasn't so monotonous after all.

He didn't interrupt Aurora, letting her share her ideas freely. At first, he thought that any woman succeeding in business must rely on either family connections or a man's support.

But listening to Aurora, he realized how wrong he had been. Aurora didn't rely on anyone. She was entirely her own foundation.

"A little."

"Then drink more water. The food will be here soon."

"Mr. Raymond, you weren't joking earlier, were you?" Aurora suddenly felt uneasy. After speaking for so long and receiving no feedback from Kyle Raymond, doubt crept in.
