Chapter 82 - HUBBY

When both of them reached the place where bonfire night was going to be organized, everyone else was helping the group of youngsters with any menial task they could find. Even Emanuel was there, laughing and chatting with others.

Persephone immediately liked the atmosphere of the place. It was decorated in a very warm and beautiful manner. She should thank Santiago for saying yes when she would have certainly said no to Maria. 

She kind of felt guilty. Santiago was hurt and she took him out in such cold weather. 

Tito Mayes, Maria's husband, was the first one to notice them. He excused the other group and came towards them. With a little too much energy, he patted Santiago's shoulder. Even if it hurt Santiago, he didn't react. The latter had long gotten used to these stings. 

Persephone giggled in a shy manner as Tito rained praises over her with Italian exclamations. She gave a look to her husband saying 'see, I can be a gentle lady'. 

Villain inwardly shook his head. He knew she would enjoy it with everyone. He was happy seeing her mingling with everyone. 

His Red carves to live normally like normal people. If she was his, he would have given her everything she would ever ask him. Even when he knew the thing she wanted the most, it couldn't be bought with money. 

Maria, who also noticed her husband talking to the young couple, came to greet them. After that, she made it her responsibility to introduce the young couple to everyone, "Everyone, this is the couple I was talking about. Meet Vito and Juliet." 

"It's nice to see you all," Santiago said with a slight smile. If Nash was here to see him mingling with kids, he would have given up on his love for cheap beers. 

The girls giggled and blushed hearing his smoky and masculine voice. They were shamelessly ogling his body. The way his black shirt was enveloped against his shoulders and taut stomach should be deemed sin. 

Since they were the girls who had just turned legal, they could not hide in her eyes that they were more than liking what they were seeing. It sounded wild and crazy to them. Crushing after older men wasn't new for young ladies. 

On one hand, where girls were getting bolder with each passing second seeing the easy smile on Santiago's face, Persephone felt as if she was walking on embers. Could she just tear these bitches apart? Ogling at her 'fake' man!

However, controlling this dire urge, she turned her ugly facial expressions into provocative ones. Running her fingers on his chest seductively, she 'loudly' whispered, "Must you attract all kinds of bees and butterflies everywhere we go, HUBBY?" 

"Are you jealous, wifey," he said as he pinched her chin and played her game. Did she think only she could play? Wrapping his arm around her thin shoulders, he added, "Don't worry, Mi Amor. I only have one heart and you own it." 

At this time, Persephone who was initially acting in a childish way was rendered speechless. Her heart started thumping against her heart crazily. She grabbed his shirt to stay on land as after hearing his words, she felt as if she was thrown on clouds, soft and dreamy. 

"Ah, Miss is feeling endangered?" A young woman's voice hovered in the flirty breeze of the night. Her beautiful eyebrows scrunched up together in a very elegant manner, but she kept her voice gentle and full of teasing or that's what everyone else thought.

However, it wasn't the case with Persephone. She didn't know why but she wasn't getting good vibes from this woman. 

"Why would I be?" Persephone questioned her directly. Sensing that her voice sounded a bit hostile, she gave her a sickly sweet smile and while hugging Santiago's waist and said, "When he only has me in his eyes, heart, and life, why would I feel endangered?" 

Blinking her eyes at Villain in a very innocent she continued, "Right, Hubby?"

"Very much, Wifey," Santiago replied, his eyes clearly amused. So, he wouldn't be bored here. He would at least see someone in treating drama tonight. Moreover, seductive Red was something he didn't get to see every day. 

Maria, who had noticed the hostility in Persephone's eyes, walked ahead and said to everyone, "Now. Now. Young people. Let's start. Everyone is here." 

Everyone turned their attention from the newcomers and distracted themselves with the little work they were left with. 

"Irene, are you not coming?" A boy with sweet looks who was probably in his early twenties said to the girl who initially provoked Persephone. 

Irene maintained the gentle smile on her face and nodded. She couldn't erase the flash of possessiveness that she had seen in Juliet's (Percy) eyes. Worse, she couldn't erase the image of Vito (Santiago) from her mind. She had heard that 'Love is blind' but had never experienced it before. 

She couldn't get him out of her mind. From the time she had seen him in the lobby again, she realized that she had lost her heart to him a long time ago. She had never been in love with anyone and it was for the first time she had felt such intense feelings for anyone. 

However, she had her rotten luck to blame. That man was married. And the woman standing next to him, showing off her claim, was his wife. 

Still, she couldn't see what was so special in that woman. She was wearing inexpensive clothes. No make-up, nothing. It was as if she had just come directly from her sleep. She wasn't very special in body proportions either. A petite woman, not with enough curves.
