Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Ivy couldn't help but wonder if something had happened in the past few days. Everything had seemed fine between her and Mio Walsh, so why had he suddenly decided to break up with her? Perhaps Mio Walsh's image of perfection had always been too good to be true. Even now, after hearing the truth, Ivy found it hard to believe.

Noticing someone approaching her, Ivy quickly wiped away her tears.

"Yes, I need a car," she said.

"Our prices are guaranteed to be the lowest, miss. You've made the right choice," said the middle-aged man with a fawning smile.

"I need to go to Clothville. Name your price," Ivy replied, eager to get home. Money was the least of her concerns at that moment.

"Clothville? That's far. It'll take two to three days with stops along the way. A private car hire for that distance won't be cheap."

"Just name your price."

"Well, how about eight thousand dollars? I promise that's the best rate in the industry," the man said with a sly grin.

"Fine. Let's go now," Ivy agreed without hesitation.

"I'll call a buddy so we can take turns driving," the man said, his small eyes lighting up with excitement.

"Alright," Ivy replied, not planning to rest until she got home. With two drivers taking shifts, she wouldn't have to worry about fatigue.
