Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Rock finally understood why Julian had reacted so strongly earlier. If Aurora had only been injured or ill, there might have been a glimmer of hope. But last night, she fell into the ocean. The chances of survival were slim to none. Finding her body would already be a blessing; the worst outcome would be that even her corpse couldn't be recovered.

Julian, suppressing his inner agony, dialed Nick's number with trembling fingers.

"What's so urgent this early?" Nick answered, his voice carrying the irritation of being woken up, even if it was Julian calling.

"Nick, you have good connections with the military. I need your help," Julian said, his voice hoarse despite his efforts to remain composed.

"What happened?" Nick's tone immediately turned serious, sensing something was wrong.

"Aurora fell into the ocean last night. I just got off the plane and heard about it. Can you... call your military contacts and ask them to help with the search... and recovery?" Every time Julian spoke of the situation, he felt as though a knife was twisting in his heart.

His beloved Little Bunny-how could she... How could her life end in such a cruel way? She had promised to grow old with him.

"She fell into the ocean last night? How did this happen?" Nick was stunned. Though his personality was cold, he had always liked Aurora's kind nature. More importantly, she was the woman Julian had loved for years. If she died, what would become of Julian?

"I'm heading to the scene now. I didn't see it happen with my own eyes, so maybe- maybe she's still alive." This faint hope was the only thing keeping Julian going.

"Alright, don't panic. Go check it out first, and I'll call my contacts," Nick replied before hanging up and immediately making another call.

Julian rushed to the port. His driver, as usual, was waiting to greet him, but Julian yanked the man out of the car without a word and sped away himself.
