Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora and Tina spent the entire day together. After all, Tina was her biological mother. Even though Aurora couldn't remember their past, there was an innate, unspoken bond between mother and daughter. With Aurora by her side, Tina's mood lightened significantly. Her smile lingered throughout the day, and John Walsh, noticing her radiant demeanor, felt as if she had returned to her carefree younger days.

The next morning, Aurora set an alarm and woke up early. However, perhaps because her body clock had been disrupted recently, she struggled to open her eyes even at 7:30. Nonetheless, her willpower won out. Rubbing her groggy eyes, she forced herself

to wake up.

After freshening up, she headed downstairs. "Miss Aurora, good morning!" The same scene from the previous day played out. Aurora felt as though she were royalty in this household. Standing dutifully behind her was Carmine, ever meticulous, holding a notebook with the day's itinerary.

"Miss Aurora, it's 8 a. m. It's time to head to the company. If we leave now, we should arrive by 8:35," Carmine reported, his tone as precise as a clock. Aurora appreciated his diligence; rather than finding it bothersome, she found comfort in his attention to detail.

Aurora smiled faintly. "No, I'm here to be the president," she replied, stepping into the elevator.

Five assistants followed her. The entourage turned heads as they moved through the building. There was an almost palpable energy about Aurora, as if even the hem of her clothes carried a breeze. The elevator took her straight to the president's office. Her mother had already briefed her on many company matters the previous day, and Aurora had committed them all to memory.
