Publisher's Synopsis
And so their heels Julio Fernandez and even think to take, it would actually now prove to be a real disaster, a "true love's sorrow." This grief rushed Maryvonne Keviler into a real nervous breakdown or depression that would slowly and very surely trash the only child. Parents of the latter (with a significant portion of their wealth) would do little, reluctant to use such blunt, unorthodox methods contrary to law and morality methods. Briefly, they used Machiavellian methods to bring Julio into the arms of their only daughter to save her life and, at the same time, to ensure, consequently, the legacy of their wealth in peace after death.
Why were Maryvonne's parents adamant about that guarantee? This is simply because, in their minds, if she--that is to say, their only daughter Maryvonne--had, for example, coincidentally died of a nervous breakdown, in this case, her son Lucilian too could possibly fall into any nervous breakdown, thinking naturally of his mother. And he could eventually pass away also. In this case, their efforts would be, for example, one way or another, simply wasted after death.
That was why they--that is to say, the wealthy parents of Miss Maryvonne Keviler--had to absolutely guarantee the succession in peace. Therefore, according to their own way of doing things and using methods, even if the methods in question are just Machiavellian, to save their single offspring, while an evil or very evil someone else would really be there, in the way. It was the ultimate confidential therapy for this indirect emotional suffering, for this indirect afflictive suffering (if you could call it, like this). Suffering that would now affect the real Maryvonne Keviler's parents.
