Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The man's words were laced with disdain for Ivy, a stark contrast to the respect he showed Aurora.

"Boss?" Aurora was still confused about the situation. She thought this was just a cargo ship, a vessel for transporting goods.

"Don't you know?" The pirate had assumed Aurora was already aware, but her expression and tone made it clear she knew nothing.

"What are you talking about?" Justin, who had just severed the phone line, appeared. He caught sight of the pirate standing too close to Aurora, and his cold glare sent a chill down the man's spine.

Justin had risen to the rank of captain at such a young age, earning the loyalty of his entire crew-not through luck, but through skill and authority.

The pirates instantly retreated three meters away from Aurora. "Boss, we were just introducing her to life on the ship. We didn't say anything else." Justin walked up to Aurora, his face softening into the kind, warm expression he wore earlier. "The sea wind is strong out here, and you've just woken up. You should go back to your room and rest." From beginning to end, Aurora and Ivy exchanged only glances. Seeing Ivy in such a pitiful state, Aurora didn't take the opportunity to kick her when she was down.

If Ivy had died, she might have died with regrets. But fortunately, she was alive-not only alive but with a baby she had dreamed of for so long.

In the past, Aurora might have sought revenge. After all, she'd barely survived, coming so close to death that she almost lost both her life and her unborn child.

But now, with this child, Aurora wanted to focus on bringing blessings to her baby. She decided not to do anything to Ivy. Besides, Ivy was already living in misery.

"Um... I just heard that people on this ship can't stay for free. Is there something I should do? Or should I repay you properly once I've contacted my family?" This man had saved her and her child, a debt as big as the sky. Simply talking about money felt too shallow. Whether it was Aurora or Julian, no matter the price he named, they would pay it.

However, Aurora sensed that this man didn't care much about money. So, she kept her words vague to avoid coming off as boastful or disrespectful.

"No need to repay me. Your health isn't great, so you don't need to do anything. Just rest well." "Alright. I'll figure out the rest once I've left the ship." Aurora still didn't know what Justin was planning. She naively thought that once they reached the port, she could leave the ship, contact Julian, and reunite with her family. They would surely reward Justin handsomely.

But every tJustin met her bright, sparkling gaze, he felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to keep her with him but couldn't bear to make her unhappy.

So, he chose to keep it a secret, letting her temporarily live in her own world.

Aurora couldn't stay on deck with Ivy. Even though she wouldn't harm Ivy, she could never forgive her. They could only be enemies.

From this moment on, Aurora decided she had to stay far away from Ivy. She couldn't let Ivy discover that she had a child. With Ivy's manipulative nature, she would undoubtedly go to extrlengths to harm her.

Aurora turned and returned to her room. Justin's gaze shifted between her and Ivy. A woman who had experienced life and death could treat her enemy with such calmness? Once Aurora was gone, Justin approached Ivy. "I'm sparing your life only because of Frank. But if you dare to have any thoughts about her again, I won't just feed you to the sharks-I'll take your entire family with you." Someone like Ivy needed to be dealt with using ruthless methods. Sure enough, her face turned pale at his words. The man standing before her wasn't Julian.

Even if Julian had grievances, he'd only target her personally. He wouldn't involve her family. But this man was different-he was a pirate, through and through.

"You... what gives you the right to treatlike this?" "Don't think I don't know where your family is. It's easy to find out." Ivy might not care about her own life, but surely there was someone she cared about.

"What is she to you? I asked around-you didn't even know her before. If you don't know her, why are you doing so much for her? Do you know how many people adore her? Do you even know she already has a fiancé? They're deeply in love.

Her fiancé is a famous businessman from Clothville. Countless people bend over backward to please him. She'll never like someone like you!" Ivy couldn't understand this world anymore.

Every man she encountered seemed to fall hopelessly in love with Aurora. Even this pirate, who had just met her, treated her so well.

They had both been rescued from the sea. But while Aurora had a protector the moment she stepped on board, Ivy was treated like a slave-forced to do the dirtiest, hardest work and endure the occasional harassment from the men.

Aurora, on the other hand, was like a queen, high and untouchable.

Furious, Ivy couldn't hold back her grievances any longer and unleashed them all. "Do you know how much her fiancé loves her? Do you know how much money he has? With a wave of his hand, he could buy a thousand ships like this, ten thousand of them. The deals he makes are worth billions. What do you have? You're just a homeless pirate. What could you possibly offer her? The men who pursued her before were all outstanding, and they lined up in droves. You'll never have a chance.

"Are you done?" Justin's face darkened slightly but showed no real anger.

Ivy hadn't expected him to remain so calm and was momentarily stunned. Justin's cold voice brake the silence: e "If you're done, get back to work. Whatever happens between her andis none of your business. How I treat her is even less your concern.

All you need to know is that on this ship-even if it's a wreck-you follow my orders. Remember this: if you dare to touch her, I'll destroy your entire family. After all, I'm just a pirate. Killing and arson are my specialties." With that, Justin left without a second glance. Ivy stared at his back, her face alternating between pale and green.

What she didn't know was that Justin's clenched fists had drawn blood. The sight of Aurora's e om engagement ring had already told him her fiancé was wealthy, but even he was surprised by just how wealthy. Justin had never cared much for money. His own accounts held nine-figure sums. He wasn't poor-not at all.

But years spent at sea left him with little need for wealth, and he'd never paid attention to his appearance. Now, for the first time, he cared.

He cared because he'd fallen for a woman-a woman unlike any other.

Every word Ivy said stabbed into his heart like a needle.

"They're deeply in love..." he murmured to himself. He had assumed someone like Julian wouldn't be faithful. If Julian had found another woman, Justin might still have a sliver of hope. But now... was there any hope left? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
