Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

On the rooftop garden of the hotel, Rebecca pushed open the door leading to the roof, but Mio was nowhere to be seen.

"Mio, are you here?"

Rebecca took a few steps forward, but no one answered. Curious, she glanced around. The message had specifically mentioned this location, yet it seemed empty. She walked a little further.

"Mi..."

Before the word left her lips, a soft amber glow illuminated the surroundings. She found herself standing within a heart-shaped circle of light. The trees and plants nearby were adorned with tiny twinkling lights.

Something seemed to drift down from the sky. Rebecca reached out, and a white rose petal landed in her palm.

Amid the flurry of rose petals cascading through the air, Mio emerged, holding a bouquet of white roses-her favorite.

Rebecca had always known that Mio was skilled in charming women. Over the past few days, he had already impressed her with several gestures, but this moment surpassed all her expectations.

"Rebecca," he called her name softly, presenting the bouquet to her.

"How did you know white roses are my favorite?" Rebecca asked, a hint of surprise in her voice.

"I know everything about you, Rebecca. I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

From the moment Mio had approached her, Rebecca had suspected his intentions. The project had just been unveiled earlier today, and here he was, already eager to take their relationship to the next level.

She had anticipated this move, yet she feigned astonishment, playing along with the moment. "You like me?"

"Rebecca, I've loved you since the first moment I saw you. I thought you were an angel who had fallen to Earth. Before I met you, I didn't believe in love. But after knowing you, I started dreaming of a home, a future together. I can't live without you. I love you."

Over the years, Mio had confessed to many women, but none had ever truly captured his heart. Rebecca was the first-and she would be the last.
