Chapter Seventy-Three
"Nope," Markus said flatly as he picked up his phone and started scrolling through.
"Seriously, get out. I have something important to do." He was seriously not angry at him and not at Asli too but at himself.
Markus was not listening to him and he sighed. He always told him everything anyway. "Asli would be there."
Markus’ phone dropped from his hands and onto his lap. His eyes widened, and the color left his face. His lips parted slightly, but no sound came.
His jaw trembled as he swallowed hard, while his gaze was fixed on Ahmet as if the words had struck him like a physical blow.
Ahmet could tell he didn’t know what to say. It took him a while to utter, "Are you guys operating..."
"Operating?" He repeated while he laughed and Markus laughed too. "You should’ve known this was going to happen when I told you I was going to blackmail her." Ahmet pointed out.
"I did but I didn’t know it would that soon. She didn’t seem to be... easily... you know she’s in her own world with her own rules." Markus informed him and he nodded, agreeing to that.
"Who was I kidding?" Ahmet mentioned again through a chuckle.
"I did suspect her when I saw her limping. You weren’t home throughout the night so I connected the two and you should see how her hands kept touching her gun, waiting for me to show any sign of knowledge about the two of you." Markus narrated while he nodded to prove he wasn’t even exaggerating things.
"So you knew? Oh my goodness..." they both laughed "How come you didn’t say anything when you already knew." Ahmet continued and Markus raised his shoulders.
"Yeah." Markus continued to laugh. "I dared not show that I knew. Did you not listen to me when I said your woman was ready to kill and silence me? She was fcking monitoring my breathing to make sure I wasn’t breathing differently."
Ahmet fell into silence and then spoke. "And I would bet everything I have that you were teasing her."
"You’d win millions!" He joked. They both went silent again.
"Are you not going to judge me?" Ahmet finally spoke.
"Judge you? Seriously? We burn the city together." His tone became serious suddenly.
"It was just to get on her nerves." He was explaining. Maybe deep down he didn’t want Markus to think he didn’t care about their organization. Asli and her family were off-limits.
They all knew that. Asli knew that. Yet, they still...
"You don’t need to explain man." Markus’ words broke through his thoughts. "I would have tapped that too. She is hot, both body and temper." Markus joked, and immediately, Ahmet shot a mean look at him. "But it seems you have already ruined her for any man anyway"
"Not helping, man." Ahmet did not look or sound angry anymore.
"Seriously, when I saw her limping, I looked at her for a while and knew that it wasn’t from training or a fight. I knew that walk too well but come on, it was Asli here so, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Then her nanny came with the ’Asli needs time off to rejuvenate.’ Her father called and the scream... it just confirmed it. In my head, I was like Ahmet was going to kill the man behind her ’cheating’. I got home and learned you weren’t home. I asked when you stayed outside and realized she wasn’t home those hours too." Markus resumed teasing and honestly, Ahmet didn’t know what to feel about this.
