Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 224: The Complete Downfall of Genevieve

By the time she returned home, it was past nine, and unusually, Zachary and Ivy were both there.

Perhaps the recent events had made them wary of going out, and they were exceptionally well-behaved at home.

Genevieve, however, had been distracted these past few days, often found sitting by the window, lost in daydreams for hours.

She could still recall the scenes of the past; Magnus had never looked at her with such a cold gaze before.

From that day on, they were like strangers, even under the same roof. He no longer shared a bed with her but slept in the guest room instead.

He stopped initiating conversations with her; she had become invisible in his world.

Ivy and Zachary began to notice something was amiss and would ask what was wrong, but Magnus would dismiss them, citing stress from work.

He had given Genevieve just three days, and time was swiftly passing, yet she had no intention of leaving.

She had used up all her secret savings to pay off Zachary's debts. How could she, accustomed to a life of luxury for so many years, adapt to a life of poverty now?

Her family was very ordinary; her father was a stern teacher whose monthly salary barely covered the household expenses, let alone provide a luxurious life for Genevieve.

After learning that Genevieve had been kept by someone else and worked in bars, he had cut off all contact with her.

Even after she moved into her current residence, she had no contact with her family; that home was no longer an option for her.

Having lived with Magnus for twenty years, he had become her family. How could she bear to leave now?

She couldn't bear to cut ties with her family or give up the luxury that had seeped into her bones.
