Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 436: Interests or Beauty?**

Susan had her own plans. She wanted to take this opportunity to rest and strengthen her relationship with Hayden. Her calculations seemed sound, but reality didn't play out as she had imagined. On their wedding day, Hayden chose to get drunk at a bar rather than come home.

He was willing to shield Aurora with his hand from a knife and even used that as an excuse to keep Aurora by his side to care for him.

Susan had long given up hope on Hayden. She thought marriage might change a person, but now it seemed she was nothing more than a tool to him from the very beginning.

He had no feelings for her, and now that she had no value left, he didn't even bother to pretend to care. Susan tried to fulfill her duties as a wife, but in his eyes, she was no different from a caretaker.

Lately, things had gotten worse. Mary had even come to the villa to take care of Hayden, treating Susan like a servant.

Susan realized staying in that house wasn't going to work. She needed to get out and work; otherwise, in just a few months, she'd become a washed-up housewife.

When she heard that Aurora had started another company, Susan was both envious and furious. Aurora's life was on an upward trajectory, while hers seemed to be falling apart.

She couldn't keep going like this. She had to change her situation. Coincidentally, she recently learned that Marcos had returned to the country.

Marcos had been her neighbor when they were kids. Susan loved playing with him back then. Later, he went abroad for his studies, and the distance between them grew.

But despite the distance, their relationship hadn't grown cold. Every year on her birthday, she would receive a custom-made perfume from Marcos as a gift.

Marcos still didn't have a girlfriend, and Susan knew she had always been the one he liked. When he went abroad, she was just starting high school.

He hadn't had the chance to confess his feelings before leaving, and later, she had told him in a text message that she had someone she liked.
