บท 140: Beloved

Persephone had been staring at the baby bracelet since last night and still, she wasn't able to draw Santiago's intention from that act. What was he aiming at? 

'Don't be softhearted, Percy. He wants you confused and impressed. Don't give him the desired result.' 

'Yes, I will not think about him at all. After all, he will be my brother-in-law officially from tomorrow onwards.'

'But I don't want him to marry Sophia.'

'Now don't ask why?'

'Isn't it clear because he is a bad man? And her sister must not marry a bad man.'

'How great it will be if Sophia ends up marrying Nico!'

Persephone was so engaged in her monologue that she spent half of the noon cooped inside her room. When she left her room to look for Sophia, she didn't find Sophia inside her room or anywhere else in the house. 

Hadn't their father informed Sophia today not to leave the house?
