Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

If it were in the past, Kyle wouldn't have cared about Ivy's life or death. Any woman who walked out of the villa ceased to matter to him.

Today was an exception. After all, it was the first day of the new year. Even if someone came to visit him, they wouldn't show up in the early hours of the morning. Yet Ivy had waited outside all night.

In the study, Kyle sat by the desk and spoke coldly. "Sit."

Every move he made radiated a chilling aura. If Mio Walsh was a warm sun, then Kyle was like cold, unfeeling lightning-void of any warmth or emotion.

But Ivy had forgotten one thing. Even the warm sun, while comforting, could not be approached recklessly. To do so was to be a moth to a flame, destined to be burned to ashes.

Ivy didn't dare to sit. Instead, she knelt and pleaded. "Mr. Raymond, I beg you to help me."

She had waited the entire night for him to wake. Kyle wasn't naive enough to believe she had come to wish him a happy new year. If not that, then she must have a request.

"Speak," Kyle said curtly. He had always been a man of few words, especially with women who shared no common ground with him.

Those in his line of work survived by swift, decisive action. Hesitation would have long since gotten them killed. His past had shaped the man he was now.

"You want me to waive the five million because of the time you spent with me?" Kyle interrupted.
