Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 510: Wishing You Happiness After being with him, the coldness that once surrounded her gradually faded away, replaced by a gentle warmth that suited her. Under the soft, dim light, her delicate features appeared even more tender.

Her long eyelashes cast crescent-shaped shadows, like tiny fans. Her lips, now fuller and more inviting after his kisses, added to her allure. She was like a beautifully crafted dessert, tempting and irresistible. Julian licked his lips and said simply, "No." Aurora's pitiful expression only fueled the beast within him. He adored her like this. His lips descended again, silencing her slightly parted cherry-red lips with a kiss.

Just as he had promised, warmth soon followed. His hands heated up against the rising temperature of her body. Aurora was wrapped in a thick wool coat, so even when pressed against a tree trunk, she didn't feel the roughness.

At first, she was shy and hesitant, but Julian's skillful touches easily found her sensitive spots. Slowly, her resistance turned into surrender. But just as Julian was about to take things further, nature seemed to intervene. A branch, heavy with snow, suddenly bent and released its icy cargo directly onto the back of Julian's neck. Caught up in the moment, Julian recoiled in shock, his face twisting from the cold. Aurora, unable to hold back her laughter, gently pushed him away. "Julian, even the heavens couldn't bear to watch anymore." The sudden chill extinguished Julian's mood entirely. He looked helplessly at the little bunny who had darted off, laughing as she went. This was such a perfect moment, and he had only wanted to try something different. That little bunny had been so irresistible just now! Aurora skipped away, her gloved hands gathering snow into a small ball. "Julian, chere!" she called, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Unsuspecting, Julian walked over. "What is it, Little Bunny?" "Julian, look over there," Aurora said, pointing randomly into the distance. As Julian obediently turned his head, she stuffed a handful of snow down the back of his neck. Laughing gleefully, Aurora scampered off, truly resembling a playful little bunny. Julian quickly gave chase. "Oh, you naughty rabbit, just wait until I catch you!" He scooped up a few snowballs and threw them toward her. Each one narrowly missed, brushing past her shoulder or arm.

Aurora grinned brightly. "Julian, your aim is terrible! Letshow you how it's done." She formed another snowball and hit Julian squarely on the chest.

Julian wasn't missing because of poor aim-he simply couldn't bear to hit her. He let every snowball intentionally miss, indulging her playfulness while ensuring she remained unharmed. For her, he would do anything, even at his own expense.

Nearby, in front of a villa, an SUV was parked. Marcos leaned against it, smoking a cigarette.

Susan had left the entertainment industry largely because of him. Yet despite her sacrifices, the Giron family still refused to accept her.

Susan had finalized her divorce from Hayden, and today, Marcos had accompanied her to collect a few belongings.

Although Susan was now free, Marcos didn't feel any joy. The Giron family was in turmoil because of her, and he hadn't slept well in nights. He chose not to share these worries with her, fearing it would only cause her more pain. Instead, he stood outside, silently smoking.

Susan didn't have much to pack-just simportant jewelry and a few items of clothing. But her real purpose for coming back today wasn't to retrieve her things-it was to provoke Hayden.

He had never loved her, and today she wanted him to see that even without him, she could live well, even better than before, because now she had someone who genuinely cared for her.

Hayden escorted her out of the villa, dragging her suitcase behind him. Marcos loaded it into the trunk. The two men exchanged no words.

Susan searched Hayden's face for any sign of regret, even the faintest flicker. But his expression remained calm, indifferent. There was no sadness, no joy.

This composure infuriated Susan. Was she truly nothing to him? Even if she had been just a dog he had raised, their separation shouldn't have been so emotionless.

The calmer he appeared, the angrier Susan became. Her greatest flaw was her vanity-it had been that way since childhood.

Deliberately, she hooked her arm through Marcos's. "Hayden, from today onward, we have nothing to do with each other. Are you planning to keep living here?" she asked, her tone casual but pointed.

This villa had been their marital home. Now that she was leaving, how could it still be considered a marital home? Wouldn't he move out? But Hayden genuinely liked it here. He had filled it with plants and decorated it in Aurora's favorite Mediterranean style.

Back in high school, Aurora had once shared her dream of marrying him and living by the sea. She had imagined them waking up early to watch the sunrise and collecting seashells at sunset, leaving their footprints in the sand. It was such a romantic vision.

So when it ctto choose their marital home, his first choice had been by the sea. With Susan gone, he would have even more freedom. And one day, Aurora would return. When that happened, he would finally see her again.

"I like it here," he said without hesitation.

His response made Susan's face drop. "Fine. Everyone should pursue what they love. I once thought you were what I loved most. I forced myself to embrace your interests, trying to becthe person you wantedto be.

But now I see how foolish I was. In trying to please you, I turned into someone even you couldn't stand. Thankfully I've woken up. I've realized there are so many things in this world that can't be forced. I'm letting go of you, and now I'll chase my own happiness." With that, she glanced at Marcos.

Marcos, however, looked e uncomfortable, his gaze averted. No matter how their relationship Rad started, had been an affair. And for someone with pride and a strong sense of morality like Marcos, her bold declaration unsettled him. "Wish you happiness," Hayden said coldly, his words cutting through her. Susan's heart turned to ice.

Then, a cheerful voice broke the tension. "Julian, it's so cold! We're finally home!" "Clumsy girl, I gave you gloves, but you insisted on building a snowman barehanded. Chere, letwarm you up." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
