Chapter 197 - Story Of Red And Villain

"And I was worrying in vain because three days later you were fucking like bunnies all love the island," Callum chuckled, remembering Nash's rage. He had snitched immediately how the woman who they had kidnapped was living lavishly in Santiago's Ocean Villa, the place where Santiago fed her and well… " Never had I ever imagined that Villain would be whipped by a woman who he claims to hate. It was funny actually now that I recall the incident from months ago. "

"Then what happened to her?" Persephone questioned. She was talking in the third person as if she wasn't that person. And was listening to a story that didn't feature her. 

"Then, she ran away from Villain's abode," Callum said, looking at the sky and smiling. He had her where he wanted. He wanted her to listen to another version of the story and then be the judge of it. " And Villain went berserk, flipping cities overnight for her. And in the end, he found her hurt and took her to a castle." 

Persephone was found drugged by the police at that time and Santiago had mercilessly punished that small gang for touching his woman. It was only that gang was wiped out but the criminals of the whole city which later became the basis of PM Joseph's rebellion against the crown. Luckily, he was murdered by the duchess. 

"He must have punished her for her mistake, "Persephone looked at him and asked in curiosity. Running from Santiago? It must not be so easy. 

"Was he even capable enough of hurting her?" Callum scoffed at the question. 

Does forcing her to work in a kitchen even sound like punishment? It was just to engage her in work and not let her mind run wild. But what happened in the end? She was kidnapped from the kidnapper. Most bizarre thing to happen in the history of kidnapping. 

"He wasn't?" Persephone's eyes widened. 

"Nah" Callum smiled. "As if he could finally punish her, he lost the woman again."

"No way!" She reacted in horror. It means she was kidnapped from the kidnappers. 

"Yes. The kidnapping which was supposed to be week-long prolonged when they both get lost in the forest with no one else but them, fighting for survival against a whole team and worse with the whole city in lockdown." 

Callum didn't know exactly what happened between her and Santiago when they were staying in that ranch or what Villain told them was complete truth. But he knew that the time they spent there together protecting each other changed the dynamics of their relationship. 

"What happened then?" Persephone questioned him. She was desperate to now find the whole truth. It was her life and she had no idea about such things that happened in her life. 

"They returned safe," Callum said. 

"Did they fall in love or confess?" Persephone immediately questioned him. Two people who spent the fight for survival in a dangerous place, they must have developed some kind of feelings for each other, right? 

All the pictures and videos that she had seen on Villain's laptop were shot by him or someone else without her notice. She looked pretty happy or curious in those pictures. She could just look at those pictures and tell that she didn't look afraid or sad because she was kidnapped. 

She looked as if she was on vacation with great food and beautiful clothes. 

She couldn't believe that there were no feelings they both shared. There had to be something between them. The chemistry they shared or something like that? 

"The dense Villain sent her back and she forgot everything," Callum huffed. 

Persephone sighed. "He is an asshole." 

She was once again reminded how because of Villain she didn't remember a single thing now. Well, she remembered most things now but nothing about the time she had spent with him. Her muddled memories were clear now. 

"He really is," Callum didn't disagree b

"So, he married me not because he wanted to avenge himself but because he can't see me marrying Nico?" Persephone knew that she was just shooting in the dark but who knew if it was true. He didn't seem to like Nicolas a bit. 

"Obviously," Callum said as a matter of fact. "But he won't agree. Because he is still telling himself other stories." 

"He has been burned pretty badly," Persephone sighed. 

Yes, she was feeling bad for the same man to who she said a lot of things that day. 

"He has burned into ashes, Persephone and then comes to life. His heart was charred by Lorenzo. He thinks he doesn't deserve anything good in this world. Including you." 

As much as he knew Santiago, he must be thinking of separating from Persephone because he wouldn't want to drag her into his world. Of course, he knew how Santiago's brain worked. But now that he had decided to play fairy in his and Nash's life, he would not stop until they got their shit together and begged their girls to give him a chance. 

"Callum, why are you explaining to me? You don't have to explain in place of him," Persephone clearly told him. She didn't want Callum to polish his character. 

"Because I have decided to play fairies in their lives," Callum said with a look of distress. "I can't see them rotting in self-pity and chanting how they don't deserve their girls." 

"Ah, baby, why is your daddy the most complicated man!" Persephone caressed her tummy and pouted. 

"You know what Callum?" She looked at him and said. " I have given him the divorce papers. We will separate after he deals with my father. I will not separate him from the baby. He could visit the little guy whenever he wishes. I will not come between them. But I am not going to wait for the man who thinks he didn't deserve me or whatever." She paused and added, "Plus, I kind of still hate him.. Moreover, I will hate that man more who doesn't even know what he wants. I deserve better, don't I?"
