Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

As Aurora's mother, Tina knew exactly how stubborn her daughter could be. That unyielding nature clearly came from her own bloodline.

"Mom, I don't want you to bear the burden of everything anymore. I'll put an end to the R family and create a new one. But before that, I'll clear away every obstacle in my path." Aurora's face was resolute, her words sharp and decisive.

She'd once thought that everything she'd been through was just the result of unfortunate accidents. But now, she knew better-those weren't accidents. Someone had tried to kill her and her child, and they might strike again. Aurora wouldn't allow any threats to remain, neither for herself nor her child.

"And what about Julian?" Tina asked.

"Even if he loses his memory, I believe I'll fall in love with him all over again. I made a bet with Grandpa Bramwell-my love is the wager."

"You're impossible, child. I don't even know what to say anymore." Tina pulled Aurora into her arms.

"Mom, I'm doing this for a better future. The family's rules have existed for so many years-I can't just ignore them. But I also don't want you to keep suffering. If I want to have it all, I must pay the price. If I win, I'll eliminate the filth within the family and be with Julian. Why not take the chance?"

Tina shook her head. "Since it's a gamble, there's always a chance of losing. Are you certain you'll still love Julian when the time comes? What if you don't? Or worse-what if you fall in love with someone else? Then you'll lose everything."

This is something I must do. I can't let you keep bearing the responsibilities that should be mine. When I was unwell, Julian kept everything from me, even secretly contacting you.
