Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora had spent the past two weeks resting at home, only making a brief half-day visit to her company. Even then, Julian had personally insisted on escorting her. "Julian, you can just drop me off here. I can go up on my own," Aurora said.

"I'll go with you," Julian replied, holding her hand.

"Julian, I'm not seven or eight months pregnant yet. You can't even tell by looking at me. Plus, I'm wearing flat shoes," Aurora said with a helpless expression.

"Regardless, I'm free today, so I'll go with you to the office."

"Free? Didn't you say you had to take Justin to inspect a project? Don't tell me you forgot," Aurora teased.

Julian flicked her forehead playfully. "Even if I forget everything else, I'd never forget your Justin. I already called him over. After you finish handling your business, I'll take you home and then deal with his matters."

"Now that we're in Clothville, we're the hosts. Of course, we have to treat Justin well- especially since he's been so good to me in the past," Aurora said warmly.

"Don't worry," Julian reassured her as they stepped out of the car. Justin got out from the back seat, his gaze landing on the unique architecture of Aurora's company building. Was this really her company?

"Justin," Julian called out. "Since you're here, why not take a look around?"

"Sure," Justin agreed with a small smile. He was now dressed in formal attire, a far cry from the pirate captain Aurora had encountered a month ago.

Inside the company, everyone came forward to greet Aurora. The employees had all seen the news about her, and even those who were too shy to approach her wore expressions of joy and excitement.
