Chapter 184: What He Calls Saving

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Four

The door closed behind him with a soft, final click.

Asli didn’t wait.

The moment his footsteps faded down the corridor, her body moved on instinct. She crossed the room in three quick strides, hands shaking as she snatched the towel from the bed. The fabric slipped slightly and her heart lurched but she wrapped it tighter, pressing it to her chest as it could still be seen through the walls.

She didn’t breathe until she was out of her room.

Barefooted and silent, she slipped down the hall and pushed open her nanny’s door without knocking. The older woman looked up from her chair, startled.

Asli dropped the towel onto the bed and peeled it back just enough to reveal the pregnancy test.

"Why would you leave this in my room?" she demanded, her voice low but sharp, panic leaking through the edges. "What if my father had seen it?"

The nanny’s face drained of color. She stood up immediately, wringing her hands.

"I... I thought you’d want to check," she said softly. "After our conversation earlier... I thought you’d maybe..."

She trailed off, eyes flicking to Asli’s face, reading the storm there.

"I didn’t think he’d come into your room," she added quickly. "He never does. I swear, I only meant to help."

Asli closed her eyes for a brief second, pressing her fingers to her temple. Help. The word felt heavy, dangerous.

"You can’t do things like this," she said, quieter now, but no less firm. "Not here. Not ever."

The nanny nodded rapidly. "I understand. I’m sorry. Truly."

Asli wrapped the towel back around the test and placed it into the nanny’s hands.

"Hide it," she said. "Somewhere he will never look."

The older woman clutched it to her chest and nodded again.

Asli turned toward the door, her eyes briefly watching Matilda’s mother. Then she said, "I’m still looking for the best specialist for your sister. I hope the next one we find, can help her."

She didn’t wait any longer to hear her thank her. She didn’t deserve that appreciation... at least not until she fulfilled the promise she made to herself to help that woman speak and walk again.

Just as she finished with that, her thoughts slipped back to her father’s last words.

’You move tomorrow morning.’

The weight of it settled on her chest like a hand pressing down. Asli slowed her steps, exhaling slowly. It didn’t help. Her mind refused to be quiet.

She tried to picture it, tried to prepare herself the way she always did.

And Ahmet’s face came first.

The way he looked at her when he thought she wasn’t watching. The hesitation in his voice when he spoke her name. The way her chest tightened every time he stood too close.

Could she pull the trigger on him? Again?

The thought stalled, unfinished, and unconvincing. Liking him was a mistake. A weakness. A line she had known better than to cross and yet had crossed anyway. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She could live with that mistake. She could punish herself for it for the rest of her life.

Her jaw tightened.

But his parents?

That image didn’t hesitate. It didn’t wobble. It didn’t ask questions.

Her fingers curled slowly at her sides, nails biting into her palms as something cold and ruthless slid into place. That part of her: the one her father had raised, sharpened, fed with years of blood and loyalty. She didn’t flinch at the thought of killing his parents.

Ahmet was a complication but his family was her revenge. And she had been trained her entire life to deliver those.

Her phone started ringing the moment she stepped into her room.

Asli exhaled slowly, the sound thin and tired. Her limbs felt heavy, like someone had poured lead into her veins. The room tilted just slightly, enough to make her pause by the bed. ’Could I ever just rest?’ The question came uninvited, and bitter. Lately, exhaustion clung to her no matter how much she slept. And the thought she kept shoving away crept back again, why was she this tired if she was not...

She cut it off.

Then continued... "Pregnant?" This time, she said it aloud.

She sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the phone. Missed call.
