“I don’t care if it's fair.

Ariana met his eyes and replied coldly, “Then you'd better keepunder lock and key.
If I manage to go back to Eleymond, I'm sending you to jail at all costs.

Following a tense pause, Bennett placed the steak on Ariana’s plate with his fork, his tone chilling as he ordered,
“Eat.

Ariana recognized Bennett's icy demeanor as his ultimate warning.
She understood that Bennett was capable of extrmeasures.
