Chapter 35 To Kill You

• Aliyah glared at Asher, “easy Asher, why are you so harsh on her?”
• “Why shouldn’t I be, Mom? Not only did she lie to us, but she is protecting that man, choosing him over us.” Asher spat out.
• Mariah shook her head immediately, “no, of course not. I’m just trying to repay his favor. He was in that state because of me, because he tried to protect me. The last thing I want is to leave him in danger when he can’t protect himself. You must understand that if it wasn’t for him, I may be dead by now. That arrow came straight for my heart, Asher, if not for anything, then understand that he saved me, he kept me alive.”
