Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Mira turned her head to Aurora. "Don't worry. She's not in any immediate danger."

Aurora looked at her gratefully. "What about her condition?"

"To be honest, not great."

Asher stepped forward, steadying Aurora. "Don't worry. Medical technology is so advanced now. Even if something happens to Tina, she can be treated. But you need to take care of yourself first."

"Let's go. Keep up-I drive fast," Mira said as she climbed into her Maserati. Asher helped Aurora into his car, and they followed behind.

Mira's driving wasn't just fast; it was reckless, like a high-speed race. Asher, worried about potential danger, could hardly relax. But her driving, despite being fast, was surprisingly steady.

The two cars sped out of the city center, heading toward a massive estate. When they arrived, the sheer size of the property was overwhelming. Even the gate was imposing. Mira greeted the guards, and the vehicles were allowed to pass.

Inside, Aurora noticed the architecture on both sides was traditional, with a deliberate and intricate layout.

"This estate feels strange," Asher remarked. He, too, found it different from anything he'd seen before.

"Maybe it's just a traditional style," Aurora said, remembering what Denis Vukic had told her. The R family had immigrated long ago, and the older generations still preferred traditional designs. It wasn't surprising.

"Doesn't it feel like the layout resembles some kind of chessboard?"

"You know chess?" Asher raised an eyebrow.

"I've liked it since I was a kid. My mom used to..." He trailed off, suddenly stopping himself.

Aurora tactfully refrained from asking further. After a few more minutes, they finally arrived at the garage.
