Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

A crowd of reporters surrounded Marcos, a scene that was once common in his life. Back then, the questions were always pleasant, allowing him to bask in the limelight with his warm smile, graceful demeanor, and gentlemanly charm in front of the

cameras.

But today, the questions were sharp and cutting, culminating in inquiries about his relationship with Susan.

"Mr. Giron, are you and Miss Simmons officially together?"

"Is it true that Miss Simmons left the entertainment industry and got divorced because of you?"

"Miss Simmons, what do you think of Mr. Giron's press conference today?"

The relentless flashes of the cameras were blinding, directed squarely at Susan's face. Flustered, she found the scene both familiar and alien. She had left the entertainment industry some time ago, hoping to return to a normal life. Who would have thought she'd get pulled into another abyss?

Was Aurora her nemesis? Every time Susan crossed paths with Aurora, misfortune seemed to follow. Years ago, her downfall had been orchestrated by Aurora. Now, even though she had left the entertainment industry and had nothing to do with her anymore, Aurora reappeared, intertwining their fates once again.

The reporters' relentless questions reopened old wounds that had barely begun to heal. It felt as though someone had forcefully ripped them apart, sprinkling salt on the exposed flesh for all to see. Susan was in agony, but no one cared. Instead, they trampled on her pride without hesitation.

"Stop taking pictures, please, I beg you. I'm no longer a public figure," she pleaded. "Miss Simmons, just give us a response," one reporter pressed.

But polite interactions didn't sell headlines. The media thrived on sensationalism, disregarding the harm their stories might cause as long as they got their scoop.
