Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Julian couldn't believe Aurora was really gone. The railing may have broken, but no one had seen her jump. This lingering hope was the only thing keeping him alive. He couldn't afford to tell Tina, especially with her fragile health. If she found out, the shock might be too much for her.

"She's fine, right? I've been feeling on edge these past few days, dreaming of Aurora drowning and calling out for help. I've been so anxious, and when I tried calling you, your phone was off," Tina said, her voice trembling.

"Got it. I've got some things to take care of. I'll call you later."
