Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Justin stayed in his room the entire day, leaving only briefly for breakfast. He didn't understand what kind of magic this sleeping woman possessed, but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

He had looked at her face countless times. Normally, no matter how beautiful something was, it would eventually grow tiresome. But her face? Never.

"Are you skind of celebrity?" he murmured to himself, gently lifting her hand. On her pale finger, a heart- shaped diamond sparkled.

She had a fiancé. She had a child. He knew she likely belonged to someone else, but the feeling was like stumbling upon a rare treasure by chance.

This treasure-he didn't want to share it with anyone. He wanted to keep her, to admire her slowly, selfishly. "Justin, I've brought everything you asked for." Mrs. Woolf, who had studied medicine for a few years, often helped treat the crew's ailments and occasionally cooked meals to improve their diets. She had watched Justin grow up and treated him like her own child. She could always guess what was on his mind.

Typically, tasks like fetching supplies were not hers to handle. But today, Justin had asked her to buy items specifically for a woman.

It was clear that he wanted to keep this woman on the ship long-term. Though Mrs. Woolf admitted the girl's beauty was captivating, it wasn't as simple as that. The girl had a fiancé and a child. Mrs. Woolf didn't think this was a good idea.

However, seeing Justin so taken by someone was rare. She didn't want to interfere too much. Sometimes, fate had a way of bringing people together, unstoppable and unpredictable.

"What are the odds?" she thought. "Two people, worlds apart, meeting on the sea. Isn't this fate?" "Letsee." Justin released Aurora's hand and began rummaging through the bags Mrs. Woolf had brought. Among the basic necessities were a few pieces of clothing.

Mrs. Woolf, who was in her forties, usually dressed simply on the ship, with little interest in fashion. The clothes she bought were outdated and plain.

Justin didn't want this woman to wake up and be stuck wearing Mrs. Woolf's clothes. Judging by the expensive outfit she had been wearing when they found her, she would surely dislike them.

Aurora hadn't even opened her eyes yet, but Justin was already making plans for her. He didn't realize just how much he'd done for someone he hadn't even spoken to.

"I wasn't sure what young women like to wear, so I just bought a few random things." Justin glanced at the clothes and frowned. "Forget it. When we reach the next port, I'll buy her something myself." The cheap clothes wouldn't suit her.

"Justin, she has a fiancé. And she's pregnant," Mrs. Woolf reminded him.

"So what? She's mine now, as long as she's on this ship," Justin replied firmly. He had finally found a treasure like this and couldn't bear to let her go.

"What if she wakes up and wants to go home?" "I won't let her leave," Justin said without hesitation. "Maybe I'm not as rich as her fiancé, but I lack for nothing. I can give her a good life." "Fine, but even if you don't care about her being engaged, what about the child? That's someone else's baby." "There are two options," Justin said calmly. "One, we remove the child while she's still unconscious. Two, I accept the child as my own." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

Don't forget why we becpirates in the first place. If you harm an innocent, you'll be no different from the monsters we've been fighting all these years.

If you truly care about her, she'll hate you for the rest of her life if you hurt her before she even knows you. Are you sure you want that?" Justin chuckled softly. "Mrs. Woolf, look at you getting all worked up. How could I bear to hurt her? It's been so long since I cared about someone this much.

Isn't it funny? I've never even heard her voice, never seen her open her eyes. I've known her for less than twenty-four hours, and yet, here I am, caring so deeply." Mrs. Woolf shook her head, exasperated. "If you really like her, wait until she wakes up. Judging by her appearance, she must be from a wealthy family.

Do you think someone like her would fall for a pirate? Even if we've only killed those who deserved it, the world still sees us as villains.

I know you've wanted to leave this life behind for years, but the crew has kept you here. You're at an age where you should think about settling down.

If this girl is willing to be with you, why not quit this life? Live a quiet, peaceful life instead." "We'll see," Justin replied.

"You're afraid to leave the crew behind. You're worried they'll turn to evil without you to guide them. But you should start thinking about your own future." Justin didn't respond. He stood by the window, gazing out at the endless blue sea. "As I've told everyone: once you're on this ship, there's no getting off."

"You're not a savior. You can't save everyone." "But saving even one person is worth it. I've never forgotten who I am or what I should do." "You're as stubborn as your father," Mrs. Woolf muttered, shaking her head. "I won't waste my breath anymore." "I know you're looking out for me. But I have my own goals, my own people to protect. By the way, Mrs. Woolf, why hasn't she woken up yet?" "She's weak. Last night, she was chilled by the seawater. If we'd been ten minutes later, we wouldn't have been able to save her. She's lucky. Honestly, I've never seen dolphins save a person before. It's a miracle."

"It's my first tseeing it too," Justin said, recalling the moment he'd spotted her surroundedbydolphins. кетя "She must be blessed. Anyone else would've died." "That's true. I checked her again earlier-she's stable for now." "That's good. But if she stays unconscious, not eating or drinking, even if she can endure it, her child won't." Mrs. Woolf sighed at his concern. "I don't know what to say to you. The child isn't even yours, yet you're so invested." "Look at her. She's so beautiful. Her child must be like a little angel. This ship is full of men-it would be wonderful to have a new life aboard, don't you think?"

Mrs. Woolf shook her head. "I think you're the only one who would be happy about that. Love makes fools ve of us all Nts strange, really. Lana has loved you for years. She's beautiful too, but you've never given her a second glance. Now you pull a woman out of the sea and treat her like a treasure. Fate truly works in mysterious ways." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
