Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The quiet night was shattered by the sound of Aurora plunging into the water. The stillness of the sea broke as she slowly sank beneath the waves while Ivy flailed desperately, clinging to survival. She was waiting, hoping for a passing ship.

Luck was on her side. A light appeared on the horizon, and a ship approached. Ivy mustered all her strength, waving her arms and shouting at the top of her lungs.

On the deck, a man smoking a cigarette noticed her. "Look, there's someone in the water!"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is the open sea-it could be a monster," another replied skeptically.

"No, listen! She's calling for help. Maybe a shipwreck happened nearby." The two exchanged glances, their eyes glinting coldly.

"Come on, let's tell the boss," one of them said.

Inside the cabin, a man rested with his eyes closed.

"Boss, we spotted a woman in the water calling for help. Not sure if a shipwreck happened nearby."

"I'll take a look." The man stood, brushing off the woman beside him. He grabbed a powerful flashlight and stepped onto the deck, shining its beam across the water.

"Help me! Please save me!" Ivy cried out, overwhelmed with relief. She thought she was going to die, but here was a ship-a lifeline.

"It really is a woman," the man muttered indifferently, standing at the bow. "Fine. I'm in a good mood today. Toss her a rope. She can climb up herself."

"Yes, Boss," someone replied. Everyone knew this man's temperament-he wasn't a kind soul. His favorite pastime was finding amusement in others' misery.

The rope was thrown near Ivy. "If you want to live, climb up," the man commanded coldly.

Stories of dolphins saving humans had circulated for years, with scientists offering various theories: some said dolphins treated humans like playthings, akin to a ball; others claimed dolphins instinctively protected pregnant women, mistaking them for their own kind.
