Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora listened carefully to Bramwell Elderstone's words. Though they seemed somewhat unconventional, his sincerity was unmistakable. His every word carried weight, leaving little room for doubt. Aurora chose to believe him.

At this juncture, there was no turning back. Aurora could only press forward.

"Tell me more about the people in the family," she said firmly. "Know your enemy as well as yourself, and you will always prevail. If I don't even recognize them, I'll be at a disadvantage."

"Of course. I've already prepared the information for you. I didn't expect you to ask for it yourself. Looks like I really didn't choose the wrong person. There's still some time left-you can take a good look."

"Hand it over." Aurora accepted this reality and steeled herself to proceed.

"I'll leave you to it for now," Bramwell Elderstone said, handing her a stack of documents. Aurora began flipping through them earnestly. The first page was an introduction to her mother.

Her eyes lingered on the photograph. Even though she had forgotten so much, the face in the picture stirred something in her. It was her mother, after all. Even without having met her, the sight of that face brought an unexpected warmth to Aurora's heart.

As she continued reading, she gradually familiarized herself with the key figures in the family-who supported her, and who stood against her. Her most formidable adversaries were led by Mr. Grant and Mio. Aurora studied the profiles carefully, committing every detail to memory. Time flew by.

A knock at the door interrupted her focus. "Miss Aurora, Mr. Elderstone, it's time for us to leave," Carmine announced.

"Alright."

"Miss Aurora, did you manage to go through everything? If not, you can take it with you to review in the car," Bramwell Elderstone suggested.

"No need. It's all in my head now." Aurora set the documents aside and rose to her feet. "Let's go meet these people."
