reread this for the second time and..

wait who's that again?

Seirra is the mother of mc, and maria is the 3rd wife of mc's father

hey I’m totally confused on what’s going on with dion and Roxie like what does he want from her? Does he like her romantically?

i think he loves her in his own twisted way. that, or it's just straight up obsession.

I think Maria just likes messing with the mc’s mom. She’s more innocent and a good person trapped in a hell house. Maria just likes torturing her.

I agree, I also thought that when they showed the mc's mom was the only one who ever managed to get Maria to spare somebody that Maria wanted to kill, and from the moment Maria said the only time she had ever liked her own son was when he seemed to have been the one to save Sierra (the mc's mom), and even more when she reproached her son for killing Sierra's son, which is unexpected given how she's just as psycho as her son and how her son doing that helped him the father's chosen heir and favorite, which in turn let herself get to have the most power out of all the man's wives... Even the mc trusts *Maria* with watching over her mom in her absence... so I really think Maria definitely "loves" Sierra, in her own twisted way.

I think maria loves sierra’s beauty and innocence. Since she’s twisted she wants make a mess out of sierra but at the same time doesn’t want sierra dead.

nah. how would you explain how worried maria was when a beast almost harmed seirra? not only that, she was pretty mad too when she learned dion was the cause of it.

yes, yes. you get me!
