Persephone was sitting on the sofa in the lounge. Her eyes have been clean and no drop of tear was left inside her to trickle. Everybody was seated in the identical lounge, extraordinarily quiet at present. She confirmed some feelings when she heard Eleanora cry. She remembered how she hadn’t fed her daughter for a very long time. She stood as much as take her daughter from the one calm one that had sufficient power to shush the crying baby– Callum. 

“Thanks,” Persephone whispered and took Eleanora from his fingers. ” I’ll feed her.”

She walked to the nursery to feed her child. As she entered the nursery, she was reminded how she and Santiago had chosen each single factor for his or her child. With a lot love and care. 

She stifled a sob when she felt as if her child too was about to cry. Eleanora’s temper was simply influenced by her. If she discovered somebody laughing, she would giggle too and equally if she noticed somebody crying, she would cry too. 

Exterior, everybody who had been lethal quiet began elevating questions. 

“Callum, did you discover one thing?” Killian requested. Turning to Valencia, he requested, “And the place is Nash?”

“I could not name him. His cellphone is out of attain,” Valencia softly replied. Her eyes too have been swollen like Percy. 

“Do not you discover it bizarre that even we weren’t allowed to enter the airport?” Callum stated. “Santiago’s cellphone has been off even earlier than he boarded the airplane. What the hell is even occurring?”

Earlier than they might hear something, they heard Persephone’s shriek from the opposite room and instantly ran to see what occurred. After they opened the door of the nursery, they noticed Persephone leaping like somewhat child. She was laughing and crying on the identical time. 

“What occurred?” Emma requested. “Are you alright?”

Persephone nodded her head after which shook it. “He did not overlook.”

“What?” Everybody’s brows have been furrowed in confusion. They did not know what might need occurred to drastically change Persephone’s temper. 

“I requested Santiago when he was leaving to textual content me earlier than he boarded the airplane,” Persephone replied to them with a small smile. “He replied now. He stated he could not board the airplane as his flight was cancelled.”

“Is he alright?” Valencia requested Persephone, tears streaming down her face. 

“I do not know,” Persephone answered. “If somebody texted me from his quantity, it will be him, proper? I do not wish to consider in any other case.” 

They did not say a phrase. Callum instantly left the rook to make a name whereas Killian and Emma have been left to console the 2 crying women. Even he was not able to consider that somebody like Santiago might die identical to that in a airplane crash. It did not make sense to them however they selected to maintain the knowledge to themselves. 

“He’s advantageous. And each Santiago and Nasha are collectively,” Callum knowledgeable them. He had an urge to beat Santiago and Nash for this coronary heart assault. What if they’d weak hearts? 

He turned to Emma and softly stated, “Are you able to make Santiago’s spouse eat something? I do not need him to throw a tantrum when he sees his dehydrated and starved spouse.” 

Emma softly smiled and nodded. She hugged Persephone and went to the kitchen to get her one thing to eat. 

“How about Nash and I babysit my niece at present?” Valencia provided. 

“Why?” Persephone stated in a hoarse voice. 

“As a result of I believed that you just and your husband have to have the large discuss at present,” Valencia instructed her greatest good friend. “I do know now we have no proper to speak between the 2 of you. However I’ve seen you at present. You seemed as in the event you had misplaced your entire goddamn world! If it is not love, then I do not know what the hell it’s.” 

“Val, you do not curse,” Persephone stated with a smooth smile. 

Valencia scowled. “Even you recognize that I do not curse, you each frustrate me a lot that I really feel as in the event you two want a beating! I get it you guys have been taking it sluggish. However for 2 years? I do not know who’s the dumb one. I or each of you.” 

Killian cleared his throat to remind the 2 women that aside from the 2 of them, another person was within the room too. He wasn’t a kind of individuals who would intervene in another person’s life.

However even he felt that each Persephone and Santiago have been infuriating with their taking issues sluggish. Both they wished to be with one another or they did not! It was so simple as that. It solely took him two months to determine that he wished perpetually along with his flash spouse. 

“I really like Santiago,” Persephone whispered, taking a look at all of them. “It did not take me perpetually to determine this out. I knew it even earlier than Eleanora got here into our life. However I’m afraid. You’ve gotten seen that Santiago and I did not have a really candy begin. Hell, it might’t even be a standard one. We aren’t a fictional couple. Captor-Captive Romance did not exist in actual life. Our story began in a means I by no means anticipated it to be. I took my time determining slowly what I wished.” 

“Did not you say you’re keen on him?” Callum requested. “Is it not sufficient?”

“After all, I really like him,” Persephone stated. “However loving him and spending the good if my life shouldn’t be the identical. I deserted my life in New York for what? Freedom and peace. I do not need riches simply these two issues in my life. I wished to ensure that if I selected Santiago I will not be the identical caged canary once more.” 

Valencia sighed as if she might perceive Persephone’s logic even when she did not wish to. “So, what would you like now? Percy, do not give him any hope in case you are finally going to depart. What in the event you took a number of extra years to determine this out? What would he do in the event you left him even ultimately?” 

“I’ll by no means depart him! I am unable to depart my husband! I really like him, Val. I really like him greater than the rest on this world. There’s nowhere I might reasonably be than with him. I need a perpetually with him. I really like him a lot!”

Persephone stated, panting and as she gazed up, she discovered a frozen Santiago within the doorway. 

Valencia performed her effectively!
