"King, I know you're angry, but I can explain. That bitch would have exposed us if we let her go without scaring her. She is weak, so she was going to talk sooner or later. I had to make sure she didn't say anything about you."
Arit quickly tried to explain what had happened, but Mark was not having any of it.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful in school? The only reason we are in this mess right now is because you cannot control yourself. What would you have done if you killed her?"
"I wouldn't have killed her."
"Maybe Arit wouldn't have killed her, but you would, wouldn't you, Queen? You would do it for me."
Arit stayed silent, but the smile on her face only widened as she gazed up at Mark lovingly. Arit had already promised Mark that she was never going to lie to him again, so Arit didn't dare to deny Mark's accusation. Mark was right. The Queen would kill Maria without a second thought just to protect him.
