The story seems emotionally layered, but Santiago’s character development feels inconsistent. He’s portrayed as a devoted husband and father, yet his actions—like kissing the nanny and forming an emotional dependence on her—conflict with that portrayal. If his love for the female lead and their children is as deep as the story claims, his bond with Adila, especially during a supposed quest to reunite with his “irreplaceable” family, undermines that devotion.
It almost feels like the narrative wants to have it both ways: show Santiago as deeply loyal and emotionally vulnerable to someone new. That can work in complex character arcs, but here, it seems more like confused storytelling than intentional depth.
Would you say the story is trying to explore emotional complexity, or does it just feel inconsistent to you too?

I kinda lost interest in the storyline. It was too unrealistic and it got boring. I tried to stay focused but I start skipping chapters and skimming pages so after chapter 60 I skipped to chapter 85. Most of these romance books basically ends the same, very predictable
