Marcus: It's all right, sweetheart, look at me... Daddy is here now, you're safe.
Lily: Daddy, my arm hurts! She held the fire near me, Daddy!
Maya: Marcus, don't listen to her! The child is lying! She was playing with the lighter and I tried to snatch it away!
Marcus: Shut up, Maya! Just shut your mouth right now!
Marcus ne gently Lily ki forearm ko pakda aur red bruise mark ko closely examine kiya. Uska face shock aur intense realization se harden ho gaya. Uske daant gusse se pisne lage aur uski aankhen pure wrath se chhotey hone lagi.
Lily: She wanted the keys to Mommy's old safe, Daddy. I wouldn't give them to her.
Maya: That's absurd! Why would I want keys to your dead wife's safe? Marcus, she's making up stories!
Marcus: Look at her arm, Maya! Look at this burn mark! You did this to a seven-year-old child?!
Maya: It was an accident! I swear to God, she slipped while I was pulling the lighter!
Marcus: A lighter doesn't cause a direct burn mark by accident! You held it against her skin!
Marcus abruptly khada ho gaya, uski movement explosive aur furious thi. Usne Maya ki taraf ek kadam badhaya aur uske bilkul paas khada ho gaya, blinking fury ke saath uske bathrobe ko ghoorne laga.
Marcus: You will pay dearly for this!
Maya: Marcus, please calm down! You're scaring me! We are married, you can't talk to me like this!
Marcus: Married?! I married a monster who hurts my motherless child for money!
Maya: I didn't marry you for money, Marcus! I love this family!
Marcus: Then why did you ask my estate lawyer about Lily's trust fund last week?
Maya ka chehra instantly pale ho gaya. Uske lips shivering karne lage jab usne dekha ki Marcus ki aankhon mein ab koi reham nahi tha.
Maya: I was just asking about our financial security! That is my right as your wife!
Marcus: You are not my wife anymore. You are a criminal.
Lily: Daddy, don't leave me alone with her!
Marcus: I will never leave you alone with her again, baby. Never.
Marcus ne smartphone nikala aur tezi se speed dial button press kiya.
Maya: Who are you calling? Marcus, stop!
Marcus: I'm calling Chief Reynolds and my divorce lawyer, David Bennett.
Maya: You wouldn't dare bring the police into our Palm Beach mansion! Think about our reputation!
Marcus: I don't care about reputation, Maya. I care about my daughter's life.
Maya: If you call the police, I will tell the press that you hit me! I will destroy your company's stock value!
Marcus: Try it, Maya. Because you don't know what I installed in this bathroom two months ago.
Maya ne aaspas dekha, uska darr har second ke saath badhta ja raha tha.
Maya: Installed? Installed what?
Marcus: Look up at the golden shower frame behind you, Maya.
