His excuse is the demon. He was trying to use Liliana to get rid of the demon. That's his reason for locking them up.
he was controlled by the demon
or consumed?
No he was using Rebecca at first but the demon won and consumed him. He wasn’t even using Liliana if I’m not wrong
He was using Liliana since her powers kept the demon at bay.
I don't think he was completely consumed by the demon. I think Liliana has some kind of power to defeat the demon or something. I don't really remember tbh.
Oh wait so he doesn't even have the excuse of being in love for acting the way he did in the previous timeline? Torturing Liliana ?
I love evil male leads but she's my baby and I'm protective of her he better make it up
