Cinder’s main motivation is gaining power and getting revenge. Not once did she even think or mention Mercury and Emerald. Even Mercury knows Cinder views them as pawns. Emerald is in denial, but Cinder has already shown how much she values them. Its most likely just her using them. But even if Cinder somehow genuinely cares about them, then its an abusive relationship at ‘best’.

Now, I know that some people on this wiki appearently think abusive relationships are OK and accepteble, but I’m inclinded to disagree.
