Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Mrs. Giron's words didn't carry much weight on the surface, but to Susan, they were sharp and cutting. She had called Susan a stain on Marcos' life.

"Susan, you must be hungry. I bought you something to eat. You need to eat more to take care of yourself," Marcos said as he laid out the food he had brought.

He carefully poured a bowl of chicken soup, letting it cool. Then he helped Susan sit up and placed the food in front of her, feeding her by hand.

"Marcos, I'm not injured, you know," Susan said, her mood lightened by his thoughtfulness.

"You're carrying our baby now. As the father, it's my job to take good care of both of you," Marcos replied. On the way to buy the food, he had come to terms with the situation.

Perhaps it was fate, he thought. That night had been Susan's safe period, so neither of them had taken any precautions. Yet, against all odds, she got pregnant. This unexpected life growing inside her gave him clarity.

Whatever doubts he had about their relationship were now gone. There was no turning back-he had to take responsibility for both Susan and the baby.

As they ate, Susan's mind wandered repeatedly.

"Susan, what's wrong?" Marcos asked, noticing her distraction.

"Marcos, I've always wanted to meet your family. But you've never allowed it. It's not because they're too busy, is it? It's because they don't approve of me, right?" Susan asked directly.

"Susan, why are you thinking like this today?"

"Your mother came to see me earlier," Susan admitted. At this point, she saw no reason to keep it a secret anymore.

"What did she say?" Marcos' heart sank. He recalled the harsh things his family had said about her before. He couldn't imagine what his mother might have said to Susan's face.
