Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 486: Let's Get Divorced When Marcos heard Susan's decision to divorce, his emotions were mixed. On one hand, he was glad; if Susan had been unmarried, her marrying him wouldn't have been an issue. But now, she had just tied the knot with Hayden, and the scandalous rumors surrounding her had made headlines. The Giron family, well-established in high society, was known for its strict values.

His parents, even his grandparents, were conservative people. Susan's background had once matched his own, but given her current circumstances, marrying her would be a challenge. Marcos liked her, but he knew bringing her into the Giron family would not be easy.

The Giron family had always disapproved of women from the entertainment industry, believing the circle to be too chaotic, filled with people willing to do anything for fame. His parents had warned him repeatedly never to find a girlfriend in that world.

If he truly wanted to marry Susan, not only would she be a divorcée, but also a woman mired in scandal from the entertainment world. As a friend, his family might tolerate her, but as a daughter-in-law? That would be almost impossible.

"Marcos, what are you thinking about?" Susan's voice broke through his thoughts, sounding content. For the first time, she felt what it was like to be adored by a man.

Before now, she had been blind, wasting years of her life chasing after someone who didn't care about her, losing her reputation in the process.

"Nothing, just tired," Marcos replied, choosing not to share his worries. Whatever happens in the future, he thought, they would deal with it then. Perhaps his parents might reconsider, given the bond Susan and he had shared since childhood.

"Alright, Marcos. It's getting late. I should head hand talk to him about the divorce." Last night, Susan was driven by a need to take revenge on Hayden. But by morning, she was certain: rather than spend her life with someone who didn't love her, she would rather be with someone who did.

In the past, she had clung too tightly to her obsession with Hayden, painting a perfect picture of him in her mind. That had only left her with scars, both inside and out. Hayden never cared enough to notice her wounds, let alone her.

Marcos watched as she got dressed, lost in thought. They were no longer children, where two ice creams could resolve all their troubles.

The reality surrounding them was heavy, filled with obstacles that could easily crush them. Marcos regretted his impulsiveness from the night before. Lighting a cigarette, he realized things had only grown more complicated.

When Susan finished freshening up, she saw Marcos sitting on the bed, smoking. His striking features, blurred by the haze of smoke, made her wonder how she could have been so blind in the past.

Marcos had always been a good man, but back then, Hayden had seemed like her entire world.

Now, she wanted to end the nightmare and start anew, to experience a love that was true. What Susan didn't realize, however, was that she might be stepping into another abyss.

"Marcos, you seem troubled. Am I causing you problems?" she asked, noticing the tension in his furrowed brows as she approached him.

"No, it's nothing. Don't overthink it. Go downstairs and have sbreakfast. I'll join you once I'm ready," Marcos said, standing up from the bed.

Susan nodded and turned to leave. She was indeed hungry, having barely eaten anything the previous day. Downstairs, the housekeeper finally recognized Susan as the infamous actress who had recently been the subject of countless scandals. She couldn't understand why her young master would associate with such a woman.

Though displeased, the housekeeper knew her place. She maintained a neutral demeanor, neither warm nor cold toward Susan.

Susan, in good spirits, didn't take offense. After breakfast with Marcos, she announced her intention to leave. Marcos, however, remained distracted throughout the meal, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of his parents' reaction to the situation.

He was a filial son, and the idea of upsetting his parents weighed heavily on him.

"Susan, I have something to attend to later. I'll have the driver take you home," he said, unsure of how to face her at the moment.

"Alright," she agreed.

Marcos walked her to the door. Just before she left, Susan wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Goodbye, Marcos." "Mm," he replied.

Unbeknownst to them, a paparazzo lurking nearby captured the entire scene.

"Look at this! Mrs. Alvarez couldn't even wait long after her wedding. Spent the night at another man's house and even kissed him goodbye!" "This is the perfect scoop! The news will blow up once it's out. Finally, our tstaking out wasn't wasted. By the way, who's the guy? We need to dig into this." "Of course! This is big news, after all." "Looks like things are about to get interesting again." "Haha, this month's bonus is as good as ours!" Susan, unaware of the commotion outside, checked her phone out of habit, scanning for missed calls.

If there had been even one missed call from Hayden, she would have felt her Being it meant he cared for her. But the truth was clear-he had never given her a second thought. After being blacklisted, her phone rarely rang. Life had grown quieter, free from the endless schedules of filming and advertising. This newfound peace was rare.

When Susan returned to the villa, Hayden was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper. He didn't even glance at her when she walked in, nor did he ask any questions.

Susan walked straight up to him. "Hayden, I need to talk to you," she said firmly.

Hayden raised his eyes, surprised by her tone. He couldn't recall a twhen she had spoken to him like this before. "Go ahead," he replied.

"I want a divorce," she said.

Hearing those words from Susan of all people was baffling to him. The woman who had spent her entire life chasing after him now wanted to leave? Was she sick? Delusional? His heart wasn't in the marriage, so her request didn't hurt him. At most, it left him mildly surprised. "Why?" he asked calmly.

Susan's heart sank at his indifference, affirming her decision to leave. He could even discuss divorce with such apathy.

"You don't love me, and I've decided I won't love you anymore either. This m marriage is nothing but pain. D thought about if all night, and I've made up my mind. Let's divorce.

From now on, you can love whoever you want. I won't care anymore," she explained. Hayden finally looked up at her, studying her carefully. It was as if the woman standing before him had transformed overnight. What had changed her so drastically? "Fine. We can divorce, but not yet," he said.

"Why?" She didn't understand. If he didn't care about her, why delay? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
