Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Kyle Raymond. Julian knew the name, though they had never crossed paths. Kyle Raymond, much like Nick, had risen from the underworld and become a notorious figure in those circles. Over time, both Kyle and Nick had "cleaned up," transforming themselves into legitimate businessmen on the surface.

But two tigers cannot share a mountain, and Kyle Raymond and Nick were natural rivals. Julian had benefited greatly from Nick's help in the past, forging a closer bond with him. As a result, Julian instinctively disliked Kyle Raymond.

Rumors about Kyle's past were chilling-he was ruthless, and those who crossed him rarely met a good end. There was also talk of his twisted tendencies, particularly his penchant for tormenting women in his private life.

Julian didn't care about the vices of the wealthy; he never meddled in others' affairs. But now, Aurora had been taken by such a dangerous man. How could he remain calm?

The fact that he was still holding onto the phone was a testament to his composure, though the veins bulging on the back of his hand betrayed the storm brewing inside him.

At this moment, Julian was like a lion teetering on the brink of rage, ready to tear everything apart.

"Where was the car last seen?" he demanded.

"I've already sent someone to check the surveillance footage, but it'll take time. Julian, you haven't told me what's going on between you and Kyle Raymond. That man's trouble-you'd better not provoke him," Rafael warned.

"I didn't provoke him. He provoked me first. Rafael, just focus on the footage. Let me know as soon as you have anything."

"I got it. But Julian, don't do anything rash-"

Before Rafael could finish, Julian hung up. Knowing that Aurora was in Kyle Raymond's hands left no room for hesitation. He grabbed his coat and headed out.
