Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

She had once desperately wanted to marry into the Giron family, treating their relatives as her own. She even did extensive research, learning what his parents liked and what his grandparents disliked.

If her love for Hayden in the past had been born out of youthful infatuation, her time with Marcos was driven by a genuine desire for a warm and loving home.

The child she carried had been her entire world. She had already prepared herself to become a mother, but now, they had shattered all her dreams.

Born into a wealthy family, she understood better than anyone how cruel and greed- driven those circles could be. The more they possessed, the more they craved.

The Giron family had left. Although they wanted Susan gone from Marcos' side, they hadn't intended it to happen this way.

Every mother would understand the pain she was enduring. Marcos tried to approach her, his voice soft with guilt.

"Susan, please, don't be sad."

"Leave. I don't want to see you." Susan's voice was cold. She wanted nothing to do with anyone from the Giron family, including Marcos. Even though she knew he had been deliberately sent away when it happened, she still couldn't bear to face the truth.

It wasn't just her failure to protect the child; it was also Marcos' failure to protect them both. Her thoughts drifted to Julian's unwavering devotion to Aurora in the past.

Joaquin hadn't liked Aurora at first, assuming she was just some illegitimate woman from outside. Yet, at an Alvarez family banquet, Julian had openly defied Joaquin for Aurora's sake.

Susan would never forget how Julian had resolutely pulled Aurora out of the banquet hall, his head held high.

It was as if he could abandon the whole world, so long as he had her. Susan had once schemed against Aurora and nearly paid for it with her life when Julian retaliated.
