Bab 143: "You don't know what you have done"

Five hours later

Santiago was driving the car in the direction of his house. In the whole thirty-minute journey, his new wife had not spoken a word to him. She had been staring outside the car window in the darkness for a long time. 

He tried several times initiating the conversation with Persephone but the latter didn't seem to give a face to him at all. Husband or not, she wasn't going to speak if she didn't wish to. Although he had an ego as big and deep as the Pacific Ocean, he still didn't dare to show it in front of his wife, the woman who had to walk beside him for the whole lifetime 

People were right when they said that the wife shouldn't be offended but look at him, just a few hours since they were married and his wife wasn't even willing to look at him. Can there be someone more unfortunate and pitiful than him?
