I shot him a pointed look. He was finding this situation far too entertaining, his eyes gleaming with a curiosity I recognized all too well, despite our year-long separation. Lucas had always been like this - unnervingly perceptible, and insufferably annoying when he had a mental puzzle to solve.

I was dead tired, I didn’t want to wake up for at least ten more hours. Jacob's bed was like a cloud, soft and warm, hugging my tired body in a cocoon of comfort.But the knocking continued, insistent and unyielding. With a sigh of resignation, I forced my eyes open, squinting at the dim light filtering into the room. My watch read eight-thirty in the evening. With my body protesting every movement, I hauled myself out of the comfortable bed and trudged towards the door, ready to dismiss whoever dared to disturb my much-needed rest.As I swung the door open, I found Jacob standing in the hallway.

Rima’s POVI stood in the shadows, my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. I wanted to step out, to explain to Jacob that he had misread the situation with Demir and me. His attempt to force Alex into accepting a deal merely to sever my connection with Savas would be futile. The two matters were entirely unrelated. But to express this, I would need to provide evidence, a logical reason for permitting Demir into my world. Yet revealing such a secret would open a torrent of other inquiries I was not prepared to confront.As the silence stretched on, it was Alex who broke it, his words cold as ice "You seem to have forgotten who the leader is here, Jacob. Your position still stands but it will not force me into a decision I am not even ready to make yet.
