Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

When Mr. Elderstone finished speaking, the first to voice his objection was Mr. Grant. "I object."

"Oh, Mr. Grant, what is your objection?" Mr. Elderstone asked knowingly. He had been preparing for this moment for years and would not allow his efforts to go to waste.

"Miss Aurora securing this contract is highly unfair. And Julian-don't think I don't know who he really is," Mr. Grant sneered coldly.

"And who is he?"

"Mr. Elderstone, must you still feign ignorance? Don't think I'm entirely in the dark. Back in Clothville, Miss Aurora had a fiancé, and that fiancé happens to be Julian. Now she's landed this contract through him-it's clearly unfair."

Aurora, like everyone else in the room, was stunned. "What did you just say? He's my fiancé?" If that were true, then he must also be the father of her unborn child.

Aurora's emotions surged in a chaotic mix of shock and realization. From the moment he had reappeared in her life, she had felt an inexplicable warmth whenever he was near-a pull toward him that she couldn't resist.

Suddenly, so many moments began to make sense. Why had he brought her an umbrella when it rained the day they first met? Why, at his birthday party, surrounded by well-wishers, had he chosen to spend time alone with her, sharing cake and personally walking her home? Why had he remained unbothered to learn she was pregnant, treating her with unwavering kindness? Why did he kiss her goodnight every evening, as if it was the most natural thing?

He knew her preferences, her likes, her dislikes. He cared for her deeply and always gazed at her with such tender eyes.

All of it finally had an explanation-he was the one she had been waiting for all along. And to think, she had been so conflicted before this revelation.
