Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Ivy looked at Genevieve. "Mom, Mio is really good to me. He's warm, like the sun-so warm that I can't help but like him."

"Yes, whether he's handsome or rich, there's always something that attracts you. But how did he just answer you? Liking someone for no reason? That's not his real thought at all."

"Mom, you've only met Mio once. I've spent far more time with him than you have. Don't you think I know what kind of person he is? Just because I'm not outstanding, does it mean I can't find someone exceptional as my boyfriend? If he didn't truly care about me, why would he give me five million without hesitation?"

In Ivy's eyes, Mio Walsh was undoubtedly a good man. When someone believes another person is good, even the smallest criticism from others can feel like an insult, provoking an almost irrational defense.

"He saved Zach, and for that, I'm grateful. But everything I've said is for your own good," Genevieve replied. She had seen far more men than Ivy, and the more perfect Mio Walsh seemed, the more suspicious she became.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. By your logic, is Mio a bad person now? What could he possibly want from me? I have neither money nor power-why would he do all this?"

"I don't know, which is why I'm telling you to be careful." As a mother, Genevieve only wanted the best for her two children.

"Mom, you overthink everything. Many things aren't how you imagine them to be. Mio is genuinely a good man. On our way back the other day, he even told Zach to study hard so he could work at his company in the future. He truly cares about us. You shouldn't think of him in this way."

"Silly girl, good people don't wear it on their faces. I won't say any more-just be cautious."

Genevieve thought back to how she had maneuvered her way into the Montgomery family years ago, using countless tactics. Magnus had believed she was a good person for over twenty years before discovering her true nature. If there was one reason she couldn't accept Mio Walsh, it was because she sensed a kindred spirit in him.

Ivy didn't take her mother's words seriously. Just as Zachary returned, the topic was dropped. Zachary chattered endlessly about how great Mio Walsh was, even boasting that their family finally had someone to rely on.
