It was the third day of Persephone's married life and she had yet to see her husband after their wedding night. Previously, she was praying to God to not let her face her unwanted husband but now that Santiago hadn't returned home for more than two days, she was getting anxious. And even she didn't know the reason behind her behaviour.
Why must she be worried about him?
Hadn't he made it clear to her many times that he wasn't interested in her before?
He only wanted to be related to Marinos by marrying either of Alessandro's daughters and he did it. Did it matter to him who he married, Sophia or Persephone? Weren't both the same to him?
Of all the things, what she wasn't able to understand until now was: why the hell the thought of him not caring for her was hurting her? The idea of him not caring for her at all was like a gash on her heart.
Well, let's just blame it on her pregnancy hormones!
