Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Because of past grievances, Ivy had always despised Aurora. In her heart, she believed that everything beautiful in her life had been stolen by Aurora.

If Aurora didn't exist in this world, how wonderful would that be? Ivy could sense that Frank had some feelings for her.

Although he was crude and a pirate-someone she would never consider seriously-her natural vanity as a woman stirred unease at the thought of him liking Aurora instead. Seeing Ivy's irritation, Frank quickly explained, "There's nothing going on. I just looked at her from a distance, not even clearly. How could I like her?"

"Then who do you think is more beautiful, me or her?" Ivy demanded.

"...You," Frank replied. From the moment he first saw Ivy, he had thought she was the most beautiful woman. Besides, back in Justin's cabin, he hadn't dared to look at Aurora for long, so he never even got a clear impression of her.

Ivy's heart eased slightly. "That's better. Let me see what you've got there."

Frank, like a child showing off a treasure, handed over the things he had brought. "See

if you like them. If not, I'll get you something else next time we dock."

Ivy looked at the rugged man in front of her. Though he was clumsy and simple, his heart was kind.

"If I ever get off this ship, I'll repay you," Ivy said earnestly. She knew that without Frank, she would have been lost to the sea the night before.

It was he who had saved her, given her temporary shelter, and protected her in front of others.

"Miss Montgomery, you'd better give up on that idea," Frank said with concern. "If you leave the ship, the captain will feed you to the sharks."

Ivy opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She knew in her heart that she couldn't stay on this ship forever. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would seize it and escape.
