50 Perverted King again

On Santiago's side. 

Santiago couldn't describe what he was feeling when he found Persephone unconsciously lying on the white sheets attached to IV. She was sleeping serenely when he occupied the bench near her bed. Caressing her face softly, he saw her tear-stained cheeks. 

[She is not an easy one to cry. Those bastards will pay for making her cry!]

He had an urge to wake her up and ask her what she was lacking with him that she chose to take such a drastic step. Was he not keeping her safe? Was he not feeding her? Was he not showering her with enough luxuries? Not only this, he even agreed to accept her ridiculous wish of dancing with her every night. Still, she preferred to run away from him. 

If the cops had not found her on time, he couldn't even reckon what those people would have done to her! Just thought was enough to force him to commit mass murder.
