Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Lana and the villagers were dumbfounded. They had always assumed Aurora was Justin's new girlfriend, but it was clear now-this man, Julian, was her real boyfriend.

Julian carried Aurora straight to Justin's home. Mrs. Woolf immediately greeted them and hurried to prepare a feast.

Even while seated, Julian stayed close to Aurora, practically glued to her side. Vortex rolled his eyes at the sight. "Men in love," he muttered.

Meanwhile, Nick's mind wandered. He wondered where that clumsy woman might have landed. It was so late-could something have happened to her?

Justin, however, hadn't taken his eyes off Aurora and Julian since they arrived.

Aurora cleared her throat. "Let me explain everything."

She began recounting how she fell off the ship and how dolphins, along with Justin, had rescued her. She also explained why Justin had taken her away, detailing the story of Justin's sister and family.

In her mind, Justin saw her as a sister, which explained his possessiveness and protectiveness.

She reassured Julian that she had been well cared for these past days. Mrs. Woolf and Justin had looked after her, and both she and the baby were healthy.

Julian didn't say much, but he knew better. Justin's feelings for Aurora were far from brotherly. Any man would recognize that.

Seeing the sweet smile on Aurora's face, Julian knew she wasn't lying to him-she just misunderstood the situation. But this only proved that Justin hadn't taken advantage of her. Aurora wasn't the kind of woman to speak kindly of someone who'd wronged her. "Since this was all a misunderstanding, I want to apologize for what happened before. I owe you my thanks for saving my fiancée and our unborn child."

Julian raised a glass of wine to Justin.

Justin, impressed by Julian's composure, returned the gesture. He had expected Julian to lose his temper, yet here he was, thanking him.

"Saving her was pure coincidence," Justin admitted. "But I won't deny I had some selfish motives. Taking her from you and separating you two was my mistake."

Only now did Justin realize how wrong he had been. He could never replace Julian in Aurora's heart. Trying to confine her to the sea forever would have been the dumbest thing he could do. The current outcome was for the best.
