Marcus didn't expect Zavier to use these tactics on his own wife. "Threatening Skyler with the Blue family to get her back? Man, you're just pushing her further away."
Zavier retorted, "As long as she stays with me, who cares where her heart is?"
"Doesn't it matter?" Marcus asked.
"Why would I care?" Zavier shot back. "Tell me, if one day Cornelia wanted to leave you, would you use extreme methods to keep her?"
Marcus firmly replied, "That will never happen."
Zavier persisted, "Hypothetically speaking."
"I would never do that," Marcus insisted.
"You sure about that?"
"I'm damn sure," Marcus assured.
If Cornelia still wanted to leave him after knowing his true identity, it would be because he hurt her. If he hurt her, he’d have no reason left to keep her around.
Zavier laughed. "Well, Marc, I hope you walk the talk. Or else, I'll remind you myself."
Marcus didn't respond further. He hung up on Zavier, then dialed another number. "Send more people to protect Skyler. Don't let Zavier's guys get close, and don't let her sense anything fishy. She must live freely."
