Chapter Ninety-Five
The woman shook her head and walked into the kitchen, leaving the two boys to ponder on the conversation. It had not ended the way they thought it would. How did they even think it was going to end?
Ahmet’s mother had never liked the life of a Mafia. Yet she married one. Though she didn’t fight or kill, she was surrounded by loved ones who did that.
"Is she aware Asli is the same Lisa she loves so much?" Markus asked his tone in a hushed message.
Ahmet stared at the ground for a long moment before speaking. Silently weighing what his response should be.
"I doubt that. Let it be, man. Asli and I would not be anything more than what we are." When he finally did, his voice barely rose above a whisper, each word dropping like a stone. He didn’t look up, just twisted the edge of his sleeve between his fingers, as if holding himself together.
"You sound sad." Markus was not teasing. He was genuinely worried for him. Or maybe curious.
"Whatever." He said, dismissively. He didn’t know why it bothered him in the first place. At first, he was not angry when she told him they shouldn’t put a label on their relationship. He was used to having flings. But then... now, thinking about it, he did not like that idea.
The idea of her being with another man. The idea of himself being with another woman. Asli wasn’t the type to indulge any man. No. She was a lone wolf. Or maybe not...
Something was wrong somewhere. Where was this feeling coming from?
Maybe it was because at first, there was no childhood crush lingering somewhere like there was now.

Demir was waiting for her in her hall when she returned.
Angry.
Her glare held for a beat longer—then cracked.
"Who stole my smile from your face?" He asked with a sheepish smile that Asli could not help but return. Her glare had held for a beat longer before it cracked.
"I had an operation." She informed him.
"And I’m guessing it didn’t go well... Now that is a first." He voiced out while holding his chin as if thinking.
She laughed. "Yeah, that’s a first. But, it wasn’t entirely bad. I acted on my emotions."
"I heard what happened this morning. I learned you’ve given a directive for Markus to train her."
"Yes. He’s not as skillful as anyone here but he knows the basics." Asli told him, as she recalled the night she fought him under the disguise of the midnight Reaper. Markus was not a bad fighter. Though he wouldn’t be able to beat anyone she had trained.
"Alright then. I’ll leave you to rest. I need to check something out before going to bed." Demir told her and began to walk past her.
"Does it involve some fights? If yes, hell yeah. We should go together." Asli’s mood began to lighten up and he scoffed.
"I’ll forward the details to you then." He said as he waved to her. "See you in an hour."
"Sure," she said behind him.
Asli searched for Markus but did not find him. Had he left for his Villa or was he somewhere doing whatever it was that pleased him?
If he despised his home so much, why was he always going back? Did he have a woman or child there? She chuckled. As if he looked normal to have a kid in the first place.
She took out her phone to call him. He picked up immediately. "Where are you?"
"In some woman’s bed," he responded. Asli sighed.
"I didn’t have to know that information."
"But you asked." He accused.
"Imbecile!"
"Awww the boss Lady is jealous."
"You wish. You are to train Matilda from tomorrow."
"Who?" He asked. Did he not hear her?
