SpoilerJulia is a very pitiful woman. This woman who has suffered in the hands of abusive father and stepmother with no one to love her do so long, gets married to the one person she liked hoping for love but is treated badly because of her father. Fernan emotionally abuses her until she loses all hope for happiness and decides to leave him only for him to turn terribly possessive. This man who so far had ignored suddenly refused to let go of her and she was basically imprisoned in her home. Here are some scenes showing what he said:“Even if it's the same hell, you might start to wish you were by my side."It was obvious what he wanted from her. He wanted her to live as the obedient Grand Duchess like she had been.To live on the apparent great public expense as before. Even if she was hated and treated coldly, even if this was hell, just be quiet and stay by his side.I believe there is something fundamentally wrong with this story. The relationship that came about after Fernan rescued Julia from the demons, gave me a feeling of Stockholm syndrome. He claimed he was sorry for all he had done but refused to let her have freedom. He claimed he would do whatever she wanted but he still kept her in bondage. That is not love in my opinion. She was only just recovering from her wounded heart and he appeared again (even though it was to help her), restraining her claiming love. He claimed he loved her but had to threaten to kill her friend to get her to give up on her escape. And then he sleeps with her immediately after that whispering love and whatnot. Although he wasn't aggressive, I think that already borders on rape because she had already lost any will to resist his will. Love is never forceful so this is plain obsession. The story later explains the reason for Fernan's treatment of Julia but it is still unjustified. I honestly feel Julia could've been happy without Fernan and I wished she could've been but I guess love doesn't always make sense. I can only imagine how much she originally liked him to deal with all that he did and to later forgive him.Only very few people truly cared about Julia in this story: Matheus, Melissa, Cedric and Gabrielle with the children. Majority of the other people were pieces of trash that should all go fall off a cliffTruly a tragic story Any pioneer here to tell me bout this novel? Did you end up reading this? How was it?
