Asli stumbled backward, her entire body shaking.
"This… this is insane…" she whispered.
Her eyes darted toward the door.
Escape.
That was her only thought.
But before she could move—
Ferhat grabbed her wrist.
Firm. Unyielding.
"You're not leaving."
Her breath hitched. "I-I won't tell anyone, I swear—"
"That's not how this works."
His grip tightened slightly, sending a sharp pulse of fear through her veins.
"You saw something you shouldn't have."
Tears welled in her eyes. "Please… I'm just a doctor…"
For a moment…
Silence.
Heavy. Suffocating.
Then—
A voice from the shadows.
"Kill her."
Asli's heart dropped.
She turned and saw another man — older, colder, with a terrifying authority.
Namik.
Ferhat's uncle.
The real monster.
Ferhat didn't react immediately.
And that hesitation…
Was the only reason Asli was still alive.
