Make her life hell
Three words. Yes, three freaking words. If someone were to tell Santiago that one day three words were going to change his life, he would have chopped you off into tiny tiny pieces and then fed your now mashed flesh to whales.
But Fate, the cruel bitch would pull the carpet from under your feet when you would not expect it and you wouldn't even realize until you had fallen on the floor, and the pain in your ass was the proof of your flipped destiny.
Like those romantic / cliche stories, those three words were not ' I love you', 'I miss you' or even 'I hate you' but...
"Sir, she escaped."
Yes, you absolutely guessed it right. Persephone Marino had successfully run away from his clutches. But the suffering on Santiago's face was not that of a captor who had lost his precious captive but that of a lover who was still unaware of the fact if his beloved was alright or not.
