The war escalated.
And this time—
It reached her.
Asli noticed it first in small ways.
A car following them.
Strangers watching too closely.
Unfamiliar faces lingering.
Then Ferhat confirmed it.
"They know about you."
Her stomach dropped. "What does that mean?"
"It means you're a weakness."
"I'm not—"
"You are."
The bluntness hurt.
But the fear hit harder.
"What happens now?"
Ferhat's jaw tightened.
"Now… I make sure they regret it."
