Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Emily was carefree. Even though she knew Aurora had once been Eric's greatest love, which technically made them rivals, she couldn't bring herself to dislike Aurora.

In fact, Emily was an odd one-she admired Aurora instead. She believed Aurora possessed many qualities worth learning from and thought to herself, "Any woman Eric could love must be a great person." That alone was enough for Emily to see Aurora as her role model rather than her enemy.

"Miss Montgomery, we meet again. You're looking more beautiful every time," Emily said sincerely, her compliment so genuine that it was impossible to feel anything but warmth toward her.

Aurora had encountered plenty of remarkable women, but she truly liked Emily. Despite being from a wealthy family, Emily still retained the innocence and simplicity of a young girl. She wasn't complicated, and Aurora thought she was the perfect match for Eric.

"Thank you, Miss Langdon. You're just as lovely. It's cold outside-why don't you and my cousin head inside?" Aurora replied with a gentle smile.

Eric no longer harbored that intense longing for Aurora he once had. He rarely thought of her these days, and seeing her today reminded him of how long it had been since she last crossed his mind.

His world had shifted-Aurora had faded from his life, and Emily had taken her place. He still felt guilty about what he'd done to Aurora in the past, but seeing that she held no grudge eased his heart. Aurora now had someone by her side, someone who was perfect for her. It was time for him to let go.

With that thought, Eric took Emily's hand. "Let's go," he said.

Emily blushed at his gesture. She was shy, surprised even. He used to despise her-why was he holding her hand now? She didn't know the reason, but she felt as if pink bubbles were floating all around her.

As they walked away together, Aurora smiled softly. "It's wonderful to see lovers find happiness."

"Isn't it? Meanwhile, we've still got a single dog here," Gore quipped, using the opportunity to tease Asher.
