Persephone just looked at him silently. She was vocally paralyzed after she heard what he said to her. Oh, God, this was what he was thinking all along? He had been beside her when they were on the verge of dying and this was his thoughts about her? This damned man was inside her so many times this week and still, he thought that she was faking herself to make him drop his guard?
If she wanted to escape him or worse kill him, she would have used the opportunity when he was sick even after coming to this ranch.
But you see, he was right, absolutely right, she read too much into this. If she had been a little careful, she might have escaped this great embarrassment but she was who she was, a dumb and utterly disgusting woman. A woman who didn't even think twice before spreading her legs for the man who kidnapped her from her home and then threw her into hell.
