Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora stood in quiet awe, her heart filled with emotion at the scene before her. Julian might not have been a naturally romantic man, but ever since meeting her, it was as if he had transformed. Time and again, he surprised her, and this time was no exception. She was deeply moved.

"Julian, how can you be so good to me?" Aurora murmured, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his chest.

"You're my wife. It's only right to be good to you," he replied with a faint smile, taking her hand and leading her toward the glowing lights ahead.

The small twinkling lights resembled stars fallen to earth, and Aurora felt as if she were standing amidst a brilliant galaxy. Rising onto her tiptoes, she kissed Julian under the starlit sky. The sea breeze played with her long dress, their hair swaying gently in the night.

After the kiss, they leaned their heads together. Julian's voice was slightly hoarse. "Aurora, let's register our marriage as soon as we get back."

"I thought we agreed to wait a few months?" she said softly.

"I can't wait any longer. Let's do it in a few days. We've already taken our wedding photos, gotten engaged, and received our families' blessings, but we haven't made it official. I want this on paper," Julian said, his eagerness clear.

Aurora nodded, but there was hesitation in her eyes. They lay together on the beach, gazing at the stars above.

"Julian, I still think the stars in the mountains are the prettiest. The skies are so blue there, the water so clear, and the hills so green," Aurora said, reminiscing.

"If you like it, I'll take you to the mountains when we get back. You can stay as long as you want, watching the stars to your heart's content," Julian promised.

Aurora nodded silently, but she didn't respond. No one could predict the future, and she wasn't sure what tomorrow would bring. After receiving the FT2 injection, would she even remember Julian?

"It's getting late. You should rest. We need to wake up early to watch the sunrise tomorrow," Julian said, urging her to sleep even though it was just past eight. At home, Aurora usually went to bed after nine, but since they had to rise early, Julian wanted her to get enough rest.
