Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

For three consecutive days, Mio Walsh stayed by Ivy's side with patience and care. Ivy had endured countless hardships in her life. Once the precious daughter of a wealthy family, she had fallen into the status of an illegitimate child.

She had also been through unspeakably dark events, so much so that she had once considered ending her life. But thinking of her mother, who was still in prison, she knew she couldn't collapse. She had to keep going, to rise from the ashes and live

anew.

Through relentless effort, Ivy managed to get close to Kyle and secure his help. Genevieve had been rescued. While Genevieve had left them a modest savings, it was nothing compared to the wealth they had enjoyed as part of the Montgomery family. Even so, it was enough to make them quite comfortable compared to ordinary people.

Paul, feeling guilty for the two of them, gave both Zachary and Ivy a house. With Genevieve now rescued, Ivy could have easily led a quiet, simple life with her mother.

But that wasn't enough for Ivy. She harbored a deep bitterness, wanting to make Aurora pay for all she had suffered. Yet, to her dismay, Kyle, like all the other men, seemed bewitched by Aurora.

Realizing Kyle wouldn't avenge her, she still couldn't bring herself to leave him completely, as she had developed some feelings for him. Then Mio Walsh appeared in her life, and Ivy felt as though fate had finally sent her a chance at happiness. This time, she resolved to seize it.

On the third day, Kyle announced he was preparing to return to his home country. Ivy, however, declined to go with him, claiming she wanted to continue traveling in Rome.

Kyle simply gave her a long, deep look and said nothing more. "I'm leaving," he said. That look unsettled Ivy, filling her with an uneasy fear. She dreaded the thought of Kyle finding out about Mio Walsh. His silence was a relief.

As soon as Kyle got into the car, someone informed him about Ivy's recent activities. "Mr. Raymond, Miss Montgomery has been spending time with a man these past few days. She's not returning with us because she's likely fallen for him."

If Ivy had been someone Kyle truly cared about, this news might have enraged him. But clearly, she wasn't, and she had never left even the slightest impression on his heart.
