HALF-EXPECTING EJDER TO RETURN, Talha left Slater in his room, and moved down the corridor, searching his pockets for his cell phone. Before his foot landed on the marble staircase, the front door flew open, and a group of men, searching the hall with gun muzzles, entered his mansion. Holding a gun with both hands, Ejder shot a glance around, before his eyes focused on Talha.

Heaving a sigh, Talha descended, then waved his hand in the air, demanding attention. “You’re all dismissed. Call for the cleaning crew.”

“Is he dead?” The hard line of Ejder’s mouth quirked in an arrogant smile.

“No, he isn’t. And you are going back to Mardin,” Talha said, passing by his disheveled brother and the group of armed men. Turning to enter the kitchen, he raised his voice. “Wasn’t I clear? Dismiss.”

“What the fuck, Abi?”

Grabbing a clean glass from the counter, Talha poured some water, then drained it in one go.

“You are returning to Mardin,” he repeated even before he took the glass away from his mouth; his breath misted the transparent walls.

“No, I’m not. I’m staying here, with you.” Snatching the glass from Talha’s hand, Ejder slammed it against the counter. “What the fuck is going on? Why didn’t you kill him?”

“Listen to me…” Stealing a glance at the door, Talha lowered his voice. “I don’t have any intention of killing him.”

“What? He almost killed us!”

“After you drew a gun! And now you brought people here. What did you tell them? That I can’t control my new asset? Do they know he is Iblīs?” Silence hung, so Talha added, “That’s why you are leaving. I can’t run the business and worry about you two murdering each other. You threatened Iblīs. I haven’t heard anyone ever surviving that. You shot at him. I hope he is sleeping now because if he isn’t, there is about to be a blood bath. What were you thinking?”

“Then fucking kill him!” Ejder’s nostrils flared as his short, agitated breathing broke out of his chest in heavy puffs. “You don’t need him. We managed without him just fine.”

“No. I won’t put a horse down because it threw me off once. I want to explore his potential. I’m willing to take my chances with him, and for that you have to leave. It’s final. Next time you pull out a gun, I might not be able to stop him.”

A small muscle under Ejder’s eye twitched, betraying his unbalanced inner state. He licked his chapped lips, bared his teeth in a quick snarl, before dropping his chin. “What if he kills you?”

“Then you will be the next head of the Demir family. How cool would that be?”

“Not funny!” Ejder said, and Talha smiled. His hand landed on his brother’s shoulder and squeezed it.

“I’ll be fine. I need you in Mardin anyway. You leave tonight.”
