Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Did he still have feelings for her? This was the question Eric most wanted an answer to. Did he still like Aurora? A few months ago, he could have confidently said yes.

When he heard she had gone on a blind date, he was furious-so much so that he wanted to chain her up and keep her within his sight forever.

Aurora was in the pastry section, eating, completely out of place in the world of the elite. Kyle had come for a project, but he hadn't expected Aurora to be here as well.

She had once hoped Kyle might help her, but now it seemed like a miracle if he didn't side with Aurora against her.

The more Ivy watched, the more she felt trapped, as if caught in a giant web that bound her tightly, leaving her unable to escape.
