Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora couldn't refuse to look into her mother's past. From childhood to adulthood, there were photos of her life. Only in candid shots did her mother smile radiantly.

In formal settings, although her mother smiled, her eyes betrayed a sense of restrained dissatisfaction. She wasn't truly happy.

Aurora watched her mother grow taller, more beautiful, and increasingly accomplished, winning numerous international awards. On her college graduation day, the joy in her mother's graduation photo was palpable. Perhaps it was because her mother knew her plans were finally coming to fruition. She looked like a bird set free.

After that photo, there was a gap of years until the next one-her mother's return. She had matured and become calm. By then, she had experienced the highs and lows of life.

Magnus's betrayal and Genevieve's schemes had taught her far too much. Suddenly, Aurora felt an inexplicable ache for her mother.

Years ago, her mother had plotted and planned for so long. Her goal was to escape the cage she was trapped in, to break free from her shackles.

She thought she would gain a beautiful love story after her success, breaking free from her family's restrictions and falling in love with Aurora's father.

But who could have predicted what would happen? Despite all her efforts, the result turned out like that.

Aurora recalled Genevieve's relentless schemes from when she was a child and her mother's repeated tolerance.

Her mother had learned many things within the family, but none of them had taught her how to navigate relationships.

In love, she was like a child. She believed that constant compromise and concession would bring her father back. But instead, it only gave Genevieve the leverage to become even more arrogant.

Later, the family sought her out, asking her to return and inherit her position. Her grandmother's health had deteriorated, and Magnus's indifference had pushed her back into the fold.
