Part 11- The First Touch

Aslan's POV.

I arrived at the institute earlier after running a few errands. My dad personally asked me to take over the job he had to finish so I agreed without hesitating. I was glad I finished it early because even while working I couldn't stop thinking about her—the girl who never stops hunting my mind.

I wanted to see her as soon as possible. I wasn't tired at all even after staying up all night. I can only rest after seeing her face. That should be enough to calm my racing heart.

I was about to leave the institute after freshening up when I received a call from Miran. I picked up and I wasn't really happy to hear what he was telling me.

"Fazal has entered our territory and I think he's with your girl" he said alert.

The heat of the anger rose in me.

Mafia gangs live in different towns therefore none of us is allowed to step into the others' territory unless we're granted permission. Mostly, when it's a member of a gang on the red list. The list of our enemies. We can't sit back and have mercy on them. Most of the time, they get killed or beaten to death.

All mafia gangs as well as their members are aware of this rule. No trans passing the opposite gang's territory without warning or permission granted.

Not only did Fazal enter my territory knowing that I despise him but he dared lay a hand on what is mine.

I will make him regret.

I got out of the institute in a hurry and fury and drove away on my motorcycle to Zahara's place.

My blood was boiling the whole time. I finally arrived there and got off my bike before going inside. The waitresses already know me so it didn't take much time before they let me in and I ran to the backyard.

Why would Zahara throw a party at this time and date?

I saw everyone surrounding the pool as I pushed them all out of my way to find Adalina lying on the ground unconscious.

What the hell happened?! My heart just dropped.

Ayla and Fazal were trying to wake her up while performing CPR but she wasn't showing any signs.

Now, my heart was beating fast. No...this can't be. You can't leave me, Adalina! I pushed Fazal away from her tried CPR myself.

I placed my hands together against her chest before applying pressure a few times. Come on, Adalina! I tried a few more times before having no choice but to do mouth-to-mouth. I did it three times.

"Adalina please wake up.," Ayla cried worried.

"Please," I whispered my voice breaking.

Just when I thought there was no hope left she regained consciousness and began coughing. Our eyes met and time stopped. She wants to cry. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around my neck tightly. This was the first time that she ever dared to touch me and honestly, it felt amazing.

I picked her up bridal style and made my way out of this party. I stepped inside and noticed Zahara standing in front of me with wide eyes.

"Oh my god, what happened?" she asked.

"You really don't know what happened?" I asked doubting her.

"It was freaking her!"Ayla came running furiously and was about to fight her again but Miran showed up to stop her just in time.

"I'm taking over a room upstairs and I need some clothes for her to change" I told Zahara before making my way upstairs.

I made it into a random room that wasn't occupied and was about to lay her on the king-size bed but she asked me to put her down.
