Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora looked at the two people in front of her, puzzled. "Mrs. Woolf, didn't you just say Justin saved me? How is it that now you're saying it wasn't you who saved me?" "You fell into the sea and sank below the water. How could we have seen you from the ship? A group of dolphins pushed you to the surface. It was only because Ivy called for help that we found you by chance." "Yes, I can't swim. I remember sinking into the sea. At that moment, I thought I was going to die. I never expected such a miracle to happen." "It must be because you are kind-hearted, Aurora. Heaven decided to save you. If it had been just ten minutes later, not even a deity could have rescued you." "Alright, Mrs. Woolf. She's only been drinking rice soup these past few days. She must be hungry. Let's stop talking and let her eat," Justin reminded.

Mrs. Woolf glanced at him. This man was clearly a fool in love.

"Have you eaten? Why don't we eat together?" Aurora asked, feeling a little embarrassed to eat alone since this wasn't her home.

"We've already eaten. Go ahead." "I am indeed a bit hungry, so I won't be polite then." Aurora didn't hold back anymore. Now that she was pregnant, she couldn't afford to have irregular meals like before.

"There's no need to be polite with me," Justin said, waving his hand eagerly. He wished Aurora would be closer to him.

Aurora finally sat down. She was wearing a white wool coat, simple and rough in craftsmanship, incomparable to the high-end custom-made clothing she used to wear. But she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Her hair cascaded softly over her shoulders, and due to her pregnancy, there was a gentle warmth radiating from her.

Born into nobility, Aurora had been trained in etiquette and manners from a young age. Watching her eat was a kind of art. She didn't make a sound, took small bites, and exuded elegance in every movement.

Justin couldn't take his eyes off her. Every gesture, every smile of Aurora's was like a beautiful painting.

She ate more than usual-a second bowl of rice. Partly because she was starving, and partly because she wanted to ensure the baby in her belly had proper nutrition.

After finishing her meal, Aurora wanted to get sfresh air. She'd been lying in bed for days, and her back ached. "I'd like to go out for a bit. Is that okay?" "Of course," Justin replied.

Aurora opened the door and walked out. Once she was gone, Justin immediately cut the phone line in the room. Mrs. Woolf noticed this.

"Why did you do that?" "I don't want her contacting that man. Don't let it slip-I told her the ship only has this one phone, and it's broken and won't be repaired soon. We won't dock anywhere nearby for a while." "Are you trying to keep her here this way?" "Yes. Her fiancé is rich. Who knows? Maybe he'll be heartbroken for a few days, but then he'll move on to someone else. Rich men are all like that, aren't they?" Justin said, justifying his actions.

"I know what I'm doing isn't right, but Mrs. Woolf, I've never liked anyone this much before." Justin's eyes were filled with conflict. He liked Aurora and wanted to keep her, no matter the cost.

Mrs. Woolf sighed heavily but said nothing more.

Aurora stepped onto the deck. With the baby inside her, the whole world seemed brighter. She smelled the familiar scent of the sea.

The memory of her tin the ocean was still vivid. She had thought she'd be terrified after her brush with death, but because of the baby, even the sea-once so dangerous- seemed beautiful now.

She didn't mean to judge them, but she had always been surrounded by well-dressed, polished members of high society. It was like the first tshe saw Justin-she had been startled. Not scared, just surprised.

But unlike Ivy, no one dared show Aurora any disrespect. After all, she was the boss's woman. Ever since that night she entered Justin's room and didn't cout, the whole crew had been talking about it.

Everyone assumed Justin was too protective of her to let her out.

Aurora met their gazes and smiled politely. "Hello, my nis Aurora." Though they were oddly dressed, Aurora wasn't the type to judge people by appearance. She greeted them warmly.

Sometimes, those who dressed impeccably could be the darkest inside, while those who looked rough might be good people. The saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover," held true.

"Hello! Hello!" The men finally got a good look at Aurora's face. No wonder the boss was treating her like a treasure. She truly was a stunning beauty.

"Miss Montgomery, are you a celebrity? You're so beautiful," one of them asked.

Aurora shook her head. "I'm not a celebrity." "If you becone, you'd definitely be a huge star." Aurora simply smiled. "May I go to the deck?" "Of course! Lettake you there." With Justin as her backer, everyone treated Aurora with the utmost courtesy.

Though her belly hadn't started to show, Aurora walked more carefully, mindful of the ship's occasional swaying. She didn't want to risk bumping into anything and harming the baby.

She walked down the corridor to the deck, where a familiar figure was scrubbing the floor.

crouched, scrubb ouched, Though the weather had warmed slightly, the sea breeze made the cold water sting her hands. It was Ivy.

Justin had mentioned Ivy was still on the ship, but Aurora had been so absorbed in her own emotions that she hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now, seeing Ivy crouching there, Aurora's initial anger faded into a more complicated feeling.

"Miss Montgomery, be careful. The ship rocks a lot," one of the crew members said. The way Justin had sayed Aurora and let her stay in his room had left everyone in awe. They were all eager to please her. Hearing this, Ivy turned around. She saw Aurora standing there, surrounded by deference, like a queen. Even the toughest pirates were bowing and scraping for her attention.

Aurora noticed Ivy too. In just a few days, Ivy looked haggard, and her most pitiful state was now in full view of Aurora.

"Why is she scrubbing the deck?" Aurora asked.

"The boss said no one on the ship gets a free ride. Everyone has to earn their keep. Her job is to wash our clothes and clean the ship. If you need anything, just order her to do it," one of the pirates explained.
