Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Julian carefully took out the cake, revealing a lifelike blue rose. Its petals were edged with shimmering sugar powder, making it truly stunning.

Aurora had cradled the cake tenderly in her hands the entire way, afraid it might collapse in the car.

"It didn't take that much time. As long as you like it, it's worth it." Aurora smiled. Every designer loved seeing their work appreciated, and the genuine admiration in Julian's eyes lifted her spirits.

"I love it. But Miss Montgomery, do you know the meaning of the blue rose?" Julian suddenly looked up at her. If she knew, she might not have chosen it.

"What does it mean?" Aurora looked puzzled-clearly, she had no idea.

Julian smiled mysteriously. "Why don't you check when you get home? You even brought candles?"

"Mm-hmm."
