His Red

"Don Marino?"

The man looked at his boss in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he just heard. No, it must be his auditory hallucination. Right? Of course, it would be. He would never believe the words that just left Don Marino's mouth. 

"You didn't hear me wrong," Alessandro Marino said as he placed his index finger below his chin. He appeared as if he was deep in thought. 

"W...why?" Yes, why would Don Marino want his own daughter dead? The same daughter he spent a lot of resources to find. Also, the daughter who was now married to the only man capable of pulling them out of the mess. 

Don Marino shook his head as if mocking himself. What was Persephone now to him except for a ticking bomb ready to burst anytime soon? 

He didn't stop Santiago from marrying his other daughter when Sophia betrayed all of them. It was only because his family was at fault. If he had controlled and taught Sophia well, the situation would not have arisen.
