Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, falling silently and endlessly. In the courtyard, the tension was palpable, and no one dared to speak. Even their breathing was hushed, afraid to disturb the fragile atmosphere.

The women who had hastily thrown on clothes to come outside were terrified that a gunfight might break out. They didn't want to die. Whispers about the ruthlessness of gang members filled their minds. Would they be taken hostage? Humiliated? Their imaginations ran wild, spiraling into fear.

Ivy dragged her sore legs as she stepped out. Nick had come for someone. Was he here for the woman from before? Ivy was curious to see just how much Kyle Raymond cared for that woman.

Washing one's hands of crime wasn't something done overnight. Kyle Raymond had spent considerable effort to clean up his reputation. If it were all ruined over a woman, it would be a heavy price to pay.

Ivy also wanted to know who the woman Kyle Raymond had hidden was. As everyone held their breath, a weak voice broke the silence.

"Stop."

The word was faint, and a figure slowly emerged from the house. When Ivy saw the face, her eyes widened in shock.

Aurora!

Damn it! It was Aurora!

Aurora looked weak, as if she had no strength left. After burning with fever for so long, without food or water, her throat was parched, her energy sapped, and her head clouded. It was a miracle she could even come downstairs on her own.
