Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

"Vivienne? What a tacky name," someone sneered.

"Exactly. Let me tell you, men love exotic names."

Ivy suppressed the irritation bubbling inside her. Normally, she despised escorts like these women, but today, she had no choice. To get onboard the ship, she had to play along.

For the past half month, she had been painstakingly waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

She knew Aurora all too well. After facing her numerous times, Ivy was acutely aware of Aurora's uncanny luck. Years ago, even after Genevieve hired assassins to kill her multiple times, Aurora had managed to escape unscathed.

If her plan failed, Aurora would be like weeds in the field-burned by wildfire yet regrowing with the spring breeze. Ivy only had one chance, and she had to make it count.

She'd hired a private investigator to track Aurora, hoping to find a weakness, but Aurora's personal life was drearily monotonous.

Every day, Aurora followed the same routine: leaving home early in the morning, heading to the office, working late into the night, then going straight back home. Occasionally, she met with clients, but other than that, Aurora's life revolved entirely around work.

For half a month, Ivy hadn't even seen her go shopping once. This woman seemed married to her job. How Julian could be attracted to a workaholic like her was beyond Ivy's comprehension.

Finally, today brought a breakthrough. The private investigator called with news.

"Tonight, Aurora will attend a banquet."

"What kind of banquet?" Ivy's ears perked up. Crowded events meant chatter and distractions-ideal conditions to act.

"A luxury cruise gala. Word is, it's hosted by a big name in the beauty industry, inviting top professionals. Aurora has already confirmed her attendance."

"Send me the location."

"Sure, I'll text it to your phone later. But this banquet is strict-you need an invitation to get in," the detective added.

"You can get me one, can't you?" Ivy pressed. If he mentioned the requirement, it meant he had a way around it.
