Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 524: The Difference Between Once and a Hundred Times

In another villa, Susan had moved into Marcos's home the day she left Hayden.

She couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but she felt Marcos wasn't treating her as well as he had before. Perhaps it was because he was busy preparing for the launch of his new perfume, which had undoubtedly exhausted him.

Susan didn't dwell on it too much. She knew Marcos's heart well. He had loved her for so many years, and now that they were finally together, how could he give her up?

He would surely treat her the way Julian treated Aurora. Susan resolved to turn over a new leaf, determined to become the perfect wife for him.

She downloaded countless recipes online, even asking the housekeeper about Marcos's preferences. But despite her efforts, he rarely came home for dinner.

"He must just be too busy," Susan told herself. "Once things settle down, he'll come home every day."

In truth, Marcos often stayed late at the office, sitting at his desk in a daze.

"Mr. Giron, it's well past office hours. Why are you still here?" his secretary asked him repeatedly.

"I'll stay a little longer. You can leave."

"Yes, sir."

Earlier, Susan had called him, saying she was waiting for him at home. Home? The word felt strange when it came to Susan.

As a boy, Marcos had adored the sweet, quiet girl next door. He had dreamed of marrying her someday and building a life together.

But before he could confess his feelings, she told him she liked someone else. During his college years and early career, Marcos didn't pursue any relationships.

Whether it was because of his lingering feelings for Susan or simply not meeting the right person, he remained alone. When he returned, things got blurry, and he ended up having a physical relationship with her.
