Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 533: His Selfishness Magnus had been consumed with guilt. How could he have done something so despicable to Victoria? Yet, to his surprise, it was Victoria who brought up the idea of him marrying her.

From that moment on, he truly regarded her as his wife. That fateful night, however, led to an unexpected consequence-Victoria becpregnant.

"Victoria, you're still under the legal age for marriage. When you turn twenty, we'll formalize everything and get our marriage certificate, alright?" "Okay," Victoria replied obediently. Magnus had wanted to give her a grand wedding, but she refused, citing her young age and her concern that it might tarnish the Montgomery family's reputation.

Oswaldo, though initially finding the arrangement odd, saw how well the two got along and eventually cto accept Victoria.

At first, Victoria didn't know how to do much of anything. She worked hard every day and eventually beca skilled cook. Her once lively and carefree personality began to settle into something more serene. Sometimes, Magnus felt that Victoria didn't seem like a typical seventeen-year-old girl. When she focused on something, she exuded a maturity and composure far beyond her years.

For instance, Victoria adapted quickly to her new life. While other girls her age were still focused on having fun, she was already transforming into the ideal wife and mother.

Magnus had no way of knowing that Victoria had been subjected to a highly unusual upbringing. By seventeen, she had already completed university-level coursework and was hailed as a child prodigy. Originally destined to return hand take over her family's business, Victoria had chosen to run away at a pivotal moment in her life. Though she looked like a typical high school student on the surface, her knowledge and abilities often left college students in awe. Her mind was far more mature than Magnus's, even though he was already twenty-four. From the very beginning, she hadn't lost her memory. She had simply wanted to use this opportunity to give herself a fresh start.

Of course, that night with Magnus had been an accident. She never expected that a single night would result in Aurora's conception, especially since it had been during her "safe period." Once she learned she was pregnant, she chose to keep the child, unwilling to take away its life.

To Magnus, Victoria was a gift from heaven, a treasure he vowed to cherish for the rest of his life. But no matter how carefully he planned, one person's arrival shattered their happiness: Genevieve.

Genevieve slowly ensnared him in her trap, causing harm to Victoria in the process. Magnus's original intention was only to give Genevieve smoney to support her child. He never intended to betray Victoria. Yet, in trying to avoid hurting the one person he cared about most, he ended up doing just that.

Victoria's smiles faded day by day. She spoke less and less, often sitting silently by the window. The youthful roundness of her face disappeared as she transformed into a gentle, graceful woman. Magnus intended to end everything with Genevieve and quietly stay by Victoria's side.

But Genevieve's schemes were far more cunning than he had anticipated. Each the tried to make a clean break, she turned the situation against him, using his actions as weapons to attack Victoria.

A few years later, Victoria left. On the day Magnus learned of her sudden death, he felt as though he had been plunged into the depths of the ocean, unable to breathe.

He rushed back, but it was too late. The damage was done. His heart died the day Victoria did.

Years passed in a blur. Their daughter, Aurora, had grown up. Then, as if thad rewound itself, Victoria reappeared in his life-alive-but now a commanding CEO of a listed company.

She had transformed. Her aura was cold, her gaze unyielding. She was no longer the playful young girl who once nestled in his arms. Magnus realized that he had never truly understood his little wife.

Now, he wanted to win her back. But another man stood at her side. Even if he knew it was impossible to rekindle their relationship, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to know everything about her.

"So, Dad, you didn't know Mom's true identity when you first met her?" Aurora asked, trying to glean sinformation from Magnus, but it seemed futile.

"No. She toldshe had amnesia and didn't reveal anything about herself. Aurora, has something happened to your mom?" Magnus's voice was tense. "I know she hates me. After all the terrible things I did back then, she has every right to. But she shouldn't take it out on you." Aurora could see how troubled Magnus was. She knew about the secrets surrounding the R family but had no evidence to confirm anything. To avoid worrying him further, she chose not to tell the truth.

"Mom must have her reasons for everything she's doing. Don't worry, Dad. She's fine," Aurora reassured him.

"Is she? I don't know why, but I keep dreaming about her. In my dreams, she's in pain. I can't shake the feeling that something's wrong," Magnus said, his voice heavy with concern. He had tried reaching out to Victoria, but she wouldn't even take his calls, let alone agree to meet him.

"You're probably just missing her too much. I saw her in New York not long ago. She's a powerful CEO now, very impressive. Dreams are usually the opposite of reality," Aurora said, though Magnus's words had left her feeling uneasy.

She, too, had been having strange dreams recently, but her hectic schedule left her little tto dwell on them. By the tshe woke up each morning, the details of her dreams had already slipped away.

Magnus sighed. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. No one would dare hurt her now. She's living a good life-that's all that matters." Just then, the butler cto call everyone for dinner. Julian noticed Aurora's pale face and frowned. He had a feeling both she and Magnus were right in their suspicions.

The last tTina, Aurora's mother, had called him, she hadn't said much, but Julian could sense she was in danger.

He hadn't told Aurora, not because he wanted to hide the truth, but because he didn't want to shatten the fragile e happiness they shared. Tina had kept her secrets for so long, and if it were something minor, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Julian was a shrewd man. He loved Aurora unconditionally, but t for m everyone else, he was cold and indifferent-even if that person was Aurora's mother. When it cto Aurora, nothing else mattered. He didn't care if she never had children, as long as she stayed by his side for the rest of their lives.

As for Tina's troubles, they were clearly not simple. If Tina couldn't resolve them herself, telling Aurora would only add unnecessary worry.

Julian smiled at Aurora and guided her to the dining room.

The conversation at dinner was lively.

"Our hhasn't been this lively in ages! Who would've thought, after all these years, we'd end up as in-laws? Truly, fate works in mysterious ways." "Indeed! I never thought I'd agree to being in-laws with you, but I've cto really like Aurora." "What's that supposed to mean? Are you implying my Aurora isn't good enough for your son?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
