Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 86 I Can't Bear to Hurt You

Even as a woman herself, Susan couldn't help but envy Aurora's figure when she saw her. Given her public image, Susan's attire had always leaned towards a fresh and aesthetic style. It was the first time she saw someone wear black in so many enchanting ways. Mysterious, sexy, and alluring, each style seemed like a lethal poison. No wonder even Hayden was drawn to her.

Standing next to Aurora, Susan felt her own presence pale in comparison. Who was this woman? Aurora glanced at Susan, who didn't seem to recognize her. Her transformation from the past was so drastic that no one could associate her with the Aurora of the past. It was normal for Susan not to recognize her, but if she began to speak, Aurora would reveal herself. Hayden was still pondering how to introduce her.

A voice suddenly erupted near them, "How come you are here? I have been looking everywhere for you."

Julian's arrival provided a timely diversion for Aurora. With one arm linked through his and a wine glass in the other hand, she left the scene. Hayden, hearing the man's voice, found it vaguely familiar as if he had heard it somewhere before. What was Aurora's relationship with him? Why was she clinging to him?

A sour feeling began to overwhelm him. Watching Hayden stare at them intently as they left, Susan felt an unpleasant surge within her. "Who is she?" A woman's intuition told her that Hayden's feelings for this woman were far from ordinary.

"I don't know her," Hayden replied, pulling his gaze away and starting to walk in the opposite direction.

Frustrated, Susan clenched her teeth. She had already forgiven what had happened that night, even humbling herself to ask Hayden to reconcile. Clearly, it was his fault initially, and not only did he show no remorse, but now he also gave her that attitude!

She grabbed his arm and whispered fiercely, "Don't you go too far!"

"Too far? I have already accompanied you to this dinner. What more do you want me to do?"

"You know what I want." Susan's voice carried a hint of distress. She merely wanted others to know she was happy and that she and Hayden were meant to be.

"I'm sorry, but being with you was just to make amends. You shouldn't need reminding of why you lost your virtue that night. From the beginning to the end, I never loved you, not even a bit. If you're seeking true love from me, sorry that I cannot give you that." With those words, Hayden freed himself from her grasp and walked away.

Susan stood frozen, shivering despite the warm room. Not far off, Julian was embracing Aurora by the waist. "What did you just say to Hayden?"

"Nothing. We just made a toast," Aurora replied nonchalantly.
