Thus, Persephone told Valencia about her tragic life. She told her from the time when she lost her mother at a young age and a couple of days later, she and her elder brother who was dead now too, obtained another brother and a stepmother. And that was how, a couple of years later, Sophia came into their life.
She also told her how Sophia had been in love with Nico from the very start. And the funny part was that everyone except for Nico was aware of it. Still, it didn't convince Don Marino to end the so-called engagement between Persephone and Nicolas Scuderi. For some reason, he was hellbent on marrying her to Nico.
