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 home and 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.
