Marem and Domitilla are not 2D characters. In other words, their so-called "evil motives" are of no reason for being so. They don't unleash their wrath just because their are created to bring suffering to the protagonists.

I'll make a thread for this. Lol.

Domitilla won't be enraged with Ace if the latter didn't fool the whole Mercadejas family with a fake name and a fake persona.

In addition, the Doña will probably accept Aia wholeheartedly if the latter wasn't one of the reasons why her son and her grandson went adrift. (Tho, Yvo and Ali had their fair share of faults as well)

As for Marem, she was cheated on and disrespected/humiliated by the only man she loved and trusted. What will you expect of her, forgive easily?

And may I add: Marem accepted Achilles' children and is willing to mother them. Her fury for the two Riegos was not because they're their father's sons,( she's not that petty)but because they also committed terrible mistakes.

Sibal is an adult who did the deed with a minor, Marem's niece, Snow. Even though they are in a relationship, he should've considered that.
(I love Sibal, but let's accept that he is at fault in this part)

Jaxon impregnated Amber at such young age (though legal) but you get it, she's young and spoiled and a little bit clueless about how the world works. He even made her think that he's cheating on her. Will you accept or even tolerate a man who disrespected your daughter?

I did not bring this up to invalidate the effect of their "evil motives" to the protagonists. I just want to point out that they are not flat characters. They have depth. Their actions have reasons.

They are not purely evil. But not purely nice. Which made their characters more interesting.

End of thread.
