Chapter Thirty-Four
The water. Had it been the water she drank at the meeting? All she could think about was the sensation building inside her, like a hunger that demanded to be satisfied.
As she continued to drive, the sensation in her neck spread, creeping down her spine like a cold finger. But it wasn't just fear or anxiety. There was something else, something that made her skin feel sensitive, and her nerves tingling. It was as if her body had been ignited, while a slow-burning fire threatened to consume her.
The memory of the meeting flashed through her mind like a warning signal. Maxwell's smug face, the glass of water they had handed her as if it were a sign of duty... Asli's gut twisted with regret. She had drunk the water without suspecting they couldn't dare harm her.
This was not like her. This was a brief slip in her normal vigilance and see how it was costing her.
The horrific feeling now settled in the pit of her stomach like a cold stone.
What had they put in the water?
A wave of dizziness washed over her one more time, making her vision blur. Her heart was racing now, and her breath came in short gasps. She felt like she was losing control as if the car was driving itself.
Her thoughts were a jumbled mix of fear, confusion, and a growing sense of unease. What was happening to her? And who was behind this? Did anyone poison her?
No, this was something else. She knew what being poisoned was like; her father had given it to her to know what it was like when she was nineteen.
She cussed beneath her breath, while her hands clenched into fists. This was not what she needed. Not now, when Ahmet probably had an agenda she couldn't decide yet. Or was this part of his games? This wasn't funny anymore.
The car sped on, and the other clung to its tail like a shadow. She had to lose the tail, had to get to safety before... before whatever they had given her took full effect.
'I'm bigger than this feeling. Everyone bows to me so how dare this feeling...' she tried tricking her mind but it seemed impossible.
The car devoured the distance while her gaze remained fixed on the rearview mirror. The car was still clinging to her tail. The driver refused to back down.
This wasn't looking good. Whoever was following her, she was sure she wouldn't be able to fight them.
