Explanation:
Jessica and Lorenzo were true lover as Jessica left her house and father for him even when she knows that he is christian and her father hates them. Lorenzo also knows that she is a daughter of a cruel person who don't kind on anyone and finding a way to take revenge from his one of the friends i.e., Antonio
It seems to me that Lorenzo does not actually love Jessica more than she loves him. This is the first thing that he addresses to when he mentions Jessica to his friends, suggesting that love is probably placed second, after the “gold and jewels” that she posses. Jessica on the other hand, love Lorenzo deeply.
