Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The room fell silent, and the entire world seemed to pause. According to Mio's original plan, there were supposed to be other activities following this moment, but everything had been abruptly halted by what had happened today.

The flowers had clearly been arranged in advance and handed over to the courier, but Mio had never anticipated the sudden turn of events. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to cancel the delivery; the flowers had already arrived.

The silence in the room was oppressive. If Rebecca had still harbored suspicions that Mio was merely putting on an act, those doubts were now gone.

If he had intended to deceive her, there would have been no reason to tell her everything. He had even revealed the details of how he had secured the order.

Rebecca sat on the floor scattered with white rose petals, leaning against the wall, her mind blank. His voice echoed in her ears.

She had always known he came from the Walsh family, but she had no idea about the depths of his background. At this moment, Rebecca found it impossible to hate him anymore, especially when she thought of the sorrow etched on his face as he left.

She sat alone in the house for what seemed like an eternity. Every detail of the room's arrangement had been designed to suit her preferences. He had truly wanted to build a home with her, while she had mercilessly hurt him.

Mio, devastated, drove back to the company and suddenly remembered the flowers. He quickly called the courier service to try to cancel the delivery.

"I'm sorry, sir. Our new intern had already delivered the order half an hour ago to the recipient," the courier replied.

"Alright, then." Mio let out a bitter laugh. She had probably already thrown the flowers into the trash. In her eyes, he was nothing more than an irredeemable villain.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Aurora had just secured the order and was ecstatic. She invited Julian to lunch to celebrate.
