Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Justin stayed in his room the entire day, leaving only briefly for breakfast. He didn't understand what kind of magic this sleeping woman possessed, but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

He had looked at her face countless times. Normally, no matter how beautiful something was, it would eventually grow tiresome. But her face? Never.

"Are you some kind of celebrity?" he murmured to himself, gently lifting her hand. On her pale finger, a heart-shaped diamond sparkled.

She had a fiancé. She had a child. He knew she likely belonged to someone else, but the feeling was like stumbling upon a rare treasure by chance.

This treasure-he didn't want to share it with anyone. He wanted to keep her, to admire her slowly, selfishly.

"Justin, I've brought everything you asked for."

Mrs. Woolf, who had studied medicine for a few years, often helped treat the crew's ailments and occasionally cooked meals to improve their diets. She had watched Justin grow up and treated him like her own child. She could always guess what was on his mind.

Typically, tasks like fetching supplies were not hers to handle. But today, Justin had asked her to buy items specifically for a woman.

It was clear that he wanted to keep this woman on the ship long-term. Though Mrs. Woolf admitted the girl's beauty was captivating, it wasn't as simple as that. The girl had a fiancé and a child. Mrs. Woolf didn't think this was a good idea.

However, seeing Justin so taken by someone was rare. She didn't want to interfere too much. Sometimes, fate had a way of bringing people together, unstoppable and unpredictable.

"What are the odds?" she thought. "Two people, worlds apart, meeting on the sea. Isn't this fate?"

"Let me see." Justin released Aurora's hand and began rummaging through the bags Mrs. Woolf had brought. Among the basic necessities were a few pieces of clothing.
