Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

"Yes, Ashy. I don't want to tell Julian about this for now. If he finds out, he definitely won't let me do it. So, I need you to keep this a secret," Aurora said nervously.

The person she was speaking to was Asher. She couldn't help but share this secret with him, or he would keep pressing her for answers.

"Have you really thought this through? What if you forget him, and he falls in love with someone else? What will you do then?"

"I won't forget. Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still fall in love with him," Aurora replied firmly.

Asher gazed at Aurora deeply, silently wondering to himself: If we could start over, would I have a chance?

"What's going on?" Julian asked as he walked over. He had already picked out his suit- men's formalwear was much easier to choose. A quick glance at all the options was all it took for him to make a decision. After getting his measurements taken, he hurried

over.

He wanted to be the first to see Aurora trying on her wedding dress. Even though Asher wasn't an outsider, he was still a man, and Julian didn't want anyone else to see her before he did.

But when he arrived, he saw that Aurora looked as if she was about to cry. Without thinking, he pulled her into his arms, glaring at Asher with suspicion.

Though he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly conveyed his thoughts: Why are you bullying my wife?

Asher shrugged. Aurora quickly explained, "Julian, I was just talking to Ashy about everything we've been through. It made me emotional, that's all. You know how my moods have been lately-I can't even control them myself."

Julian thought about it and nodded. He also felt like everything had been surreal. Aurora was really about to become his wife, and she was carrying his child.

"So that's what it was. I thought he upset you," Julian said.

"I wouldn't dare," Asher interjected. And it was true-he couldn't bear to see her cry. He would rather hold her in his hands and protect her than let her feel the slightest sadness.

"Have you picked out a wedding dress yet?" Julian asked, running his fingers through her hair. As long as she was alright, nothing else mattered. He couldn't stand to see her upset.

"Not yet. Why don't you help me choose?" Aurora said, steadying her emotions. She had promised herself not to be sad when she was with him.
