Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Rebecca nodded at last. "Alright, but if I'm not surprised, I'll be mad, you know."

"Don't worry, it's going to be a big surprise."

"I've got a surprise for you too," Rebecca said with a mysterious smile.

"Really? Well, let's see whose surprise is bigger then," Mio thought to himself. The paperwork for the house was nearly complete. Soon, he would give it to her as a gift, a home he planned to make warm and welcoming.

While Mio was eagerly waiting for the signing in three days, Aurora had already gone for an on-site project review with Julian the very next day.

This was the first time the two, who had been together for so long, were working on a project as business partners, each representing their respective companies. Beyond their personal relationship, both brought sharp business acumen to the table, treating the project with utmost seriousness.

For Aurora, this project was more than just another deal. It was a chance to prove her capabilities and secure her rightful position as the head of the R family. Once she took that seat, every move she made would be tied to the family's destiny. She was determined to maximize benefits for both companies.

Julian shared the same mindset. He wouldn't let personal interests interfere with the broader goals of his company.

Julian gradually realized why he was so drawn to her. Until now, they hadn't worked together, so he hadn't noticed. But as they collaborated-stripping away personal emotions-he marveled at how their thoughts aligned perfectly.
