Chapter Twenty- Seven
"He's kidnapping me," she accused. "Call the police."
The waitress' eyes darted between them, but instead of alarm, a hint of amusement danced on her face. "I'll bring another plate, sir."
He nodded and she disappeared.
She seethed, "You're insane."
Suddenly, he chuckled, the deep sound transforming his features.
The waitress returned with a new plate, setting it before her. "Compliments of the house, sir."
As he poured her wine, Ahmet's gaze met hers. "Eat."
She glared, but he saw a flicker of uncertainty.
The waitress smiled knowingly. "Enjoy your meal."
His eyes locked onto hers. "Eat."
This time, his tone held a hint of warmth.
Her eyes narrowed. "Did you poison the food?"
He chuckled, the sound low and menacing. "No need for poison when I have more... efficient methods."
His gaze drifted to his gun, holstered beneath his jacket, then to his knife, hidden in his boot.
"A bullet or blade would be far more effective... you know that too," he said, his tone conversational.
Her face paled, but she refused to back down. "Why force me to eat, then?" It wasn't as if they were best of friends.
He leaned forward, his eyes glinting. "You need sustenance. You fainted earlier. I won't have you fainting on me again."
"Why care?" she spat. Did he think she was weak?
His expression turned enigmatic. "I don't. Let's just say your... cooperation is important to me."
Her eyes flashed with suspicion. "What do you want from me?" Seriously, what did he want with her?
He smiled, a cold, calculated curve of his lips. "Eat." He wasn't giving her the answer she wanted and it only irked her the more.
She glanced around the table, her eyes settling on the empty space in front of him. "Where's your plate?"
His gaze never left hers. "I'm not hungry."
She raised an eyebrow. "Yet you're forcing me to eat."
A hint of amusement danced on his lips. "Priorities."
Her eyes narrowed. "What's your priority? Me eating, or something else entirely?"
He leaned back, steepling his fingers. "Let's focus on your meal."
The evasive response sparked frustration.
She pushed her plate away. "I've had enough." She hadn't even taken a bite yet.
His eyes flashed, warning. "Finish. Your. Meal."
She picked up her fork, the metal clinking against the plate. f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.com
