Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 166

“Marina!” Yvonne said softly, approaching her side.

Marina, like a wooden doll, took a long moment to react. She slowly lifted her gaze, her eyes unfocused as they landed on Yvonne.

“Yvonne,” she whispered, her voice numb as fresh tears began to well up and spill down her cheeks. “What do I do? He knows everything. But he won’t listen to me, he doesn’t believe me… He said the wedding is off. He said he never wants to see me again… He called me disgusting. Yvonne, is he never going to forgive me?”

“Marina, I believe you,” Yvonne said, taking Marina’s cold hand in hers. “I know you were forced into this.”

At those words, Marina broke down completely, sobbing like a lost child. Through her tears, she recounted the story of her and her fiancé, explaining how George had lured and coerced her until she was trapped in this inescapable nightmare.

Marina and her fiancé had come from the same small town, both moving to Istra with big dreams. He had used his parents’ life savings to start a small company, while she had signed with Nexus Media as an aspiring actress.

Neither path was easy.

As luck would have it, Marina had crossed paths with George Spencer, a predator in a bespoke suit. By the time she realized she was in a trap, the multi-million-dollar breach-of-contract fee was far more than a fledgling actress could ever hope to pay.

At first, it was just attending industry parties. In return, she got bit parts, rarely with any real screen time. Other actresses who had started with her either quit the industry in disgust or embraced the transactional nature of the business, trading their bodies for better roles and making a name for themselves. Marina had been envious, but she had held onto her principles, content to build a simple, happy life with the man she loved.
