Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The train journey lasted over five hours. Julian sat in his seat, staring at the fleeting scenery outside the window. Four years ago, he had lost Aurora. She had suffered so much because of him. This time, he vowed to find her as soon as possible and never let her leave again.

By the time he arrived at the small coastal town, it was already afternoon. Julian had eaten a quick meal on the train, and as soon as he stepped off, he headed straight for

the port.

Though it was his first time visiting this place, Julian didn't feel unfamiliar with it. Aurora had been here before, and that alone made it resonate with him.

Fortunately, the port wasn't large, and the number of passing ships stopping here would be limited. If there had only been one ship passing through that morning, someone might have seen it and remembered. After all, if it weren't for Genevieve's clues, he wouldn't even know this much. Fate, it seemed, was still on his side.

When Julian arrived at the port, he was greeted by a desolate scene. A few fishing boats were docked, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

He decided to ask around. Observing the people nearby, Julian looked for someone older, someone who had likely spent a long time in the area.

"Sir, what are you doing here?" Julian approached an elderly man who was smoking and sitting on the steps, gazing out at the sea.

"Waiting for the sunset. I come here every day to watch the sea, the sunrise, and the sunset. Young man, what brings you here?" The old man turned to look at him.

"Sir, I'm searching for my fiancée. She loves the sea too."

"Oh? Where is she now?"

"I lost her. I need to find her again. Sir, would you be willing to help me?"
