Bastard Boyfriend is no longer a trope


* BastardBoyfriend: Both Elihue and Cainen qualify. Elihue knows that Asarella only sees him as a father, and yet he selfishly emotionally blackmails her into agreeing to marry him. Frustrated that Asarella doesn't return his romantic feelings, he comes close to raping her in a terrifying scene. Cainen on the other hand takes advantage of Asarella's love for Elihue and blackmails her into losing her virginity to him, leaving her traumatized and confused. Neither are good people - even the author believes Asarella would be better off with Hadassah instead.
