Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

A shadowy figure stood in the spot where Ivy had been moments ago, staring at the water into which Ivy had just fallen. Satisfied, the figure retreated into the darkness and made a call.

"It's done. Both of them are in the sea now."

"Good. Did anyone see you?" A man's smooth, pleasant voice responded from the other end.

"No. Everyone's in the hall right now. I tampered with the railing beforehand. Ivy had no idea. She pushed Aurora to the edge, and while Aurora was distracted, she fell into the sea. I took the opportunity to push Ivy in as well. By tomorrow morning, the news will probably report something like: 'The Montgomery sisters, feuding on the yacht, drowned together in the ocean.""

"You've done well. I'll transfer the rest of the payment to your account. Leave Clothville for now. Julian won't let this go easily."

"I understand," the man replied cautiously.

On the other end, Mio Walsh hung up the phone, satisfied. There was no way he would have trusted someone like Ivy to handle Aurora herself. From the beginning, Ivy was nothing more than a scapegoat.

At the scene of the "accident," only Ivy and Aurora were present. Everyone knew about their history. When their bodies were eventually discovered, people would naturally assume it was a case of sibling rivalry gone wrong-a tragic accident. No one would suspect Mio Walsh.

Ivy had always been a threat. Even if she succeeded, she knew too much. One word from her, and everything would fall apart. Now, not only was the problem eliminated, but Ivy had become his perfect scapegoat. Mio could finally rest easy as he secured his path to becoming head of the family.

Aurora, meanwhile, had never expected this betrayal. She had been prepared to face Ivy and was confident she wouldn't lose. But she had never anticipated the sabotaged railing.

The moment she fell, panic overwhelmed her. Memories of falling off the deck as a child came rushing back.

But back then, Julian had been there. This time, the sea was empty.

As her body plunged into the icy water, Aurora's mind was filled with images of Julian.

She had nearly drowned as a child, which left her unable to swim. The moment she hit the water, her limbs froze, refusing to move. Slowly, she began sinking into the depths.
