[•Demir's POV•]
My joy knew no limits when Ferit stormed out of the boardroom. Yusef and I shared a high five when even the rest of them walked out. Finally, I managed to get him! And I meant it when I said this was just the beginning. I was going to gnaw him, till there was nothing left, and the next part of his heart belonged to his dear old father.
"We did it!" I smirked. "Yes we did Demir bey" replied Yusef. "But are you keeping an eye on that girl? What was her name again... uh... Ah! Nuri?" "Yeah abi, but she isn't that close to Ferit so there is nothing to worry about" He said. "Hmm... Good. What about that laptop? You corrupted and deleted the file right?" I asked, "Of course abi, I've taken care of it" he said.
I grinned, "Nice... Now, our next mission, Tahir" I said. "We will talk it out in the car, okay?" he nodded and we went out of the boardroom. I met Nazmiya near the reception, "Nazmiya hanim, we will be back here tomorrow and I want my office set up well. Have a good day!" I smirked and left the place.
"We will go to the warehouse first, we need to prepare" I said as we got in the car. At that time my phone began ringing. "Abi I need to talk to you" "Edric? Brother? Did something happen?" I asked and Yusef began driving. "I broke up with Aylin" he said. "What do you mean you broke up!? What the heck?!" I yelled.
"What was I to do? I didn't love her... And I was sure from the very beginning that this won't work out" he said. "Idiot! If you knew that, then why did you date her in the first place? huh?!" he had no reply. "Edric I asked you to marry her!" I said, "That girl was rich and beautiful. She would have been perfect for you!" I yelled again.
"No abi... I can't spend my life with someone I don't love" he said bringing his fussiness out. I sighed, it had always been very hard for me to compel him. "So, where is she now?" "She left... Her flight is in the evening I guess... I am not sure" "You were her boyfriend and you don't know when her flight is? Wow..." I said. "Come on abi, I called you to support me. You are not helping" he groaned.
"Eh? So what are you going to do now?" I asked, "Umm... I called you to ask for a phone number" he said. "Phone number?" "Yeah. I know that you can even get the phone number of the US President but I need this one person's phone number. I wasn't able to ask her" he said. I raised an eyebrow, "Her?" I asked.
"Yeah... Her name is Nuri, Ferit's chef... You met her that day on Idris's birthday... Please, I need it" he said. "Why do you want her phone number?" "Uh... Simply" he said. "Simply?" I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, simply. I just wanna talk to her" he said. "But why someone related to Ferit?" I asked annoyed. "She is just his chef. Moreover, I have nothing against Ferit, so I don't mind if she is related to him or not" he said.
"But I do" "Abi, come on. You both are the ones who are always fighting for stupid things... So don't drag me in there. I just want you to give me her phone number" He insisted. Edric has never liked fights or drama since he was a kid so it was understandable when he said that, but dealing with someone related to Ferit was a dangerous game.
But on the bright side, if Edric can get close to Nuri then we wouldn't have to be worried whether she will tell Ferit about the document or not. Still, it will be hard for Edric to win the heart of a girl like Nuri, but I was sure that it would be harder for Ferit to do the same. "Abi? Hello?" "Yeah, I am here. I will send you her number" I said.
"Thank you so much abi!" he said and hung up. I texted him the number and leaned back, "Edric split up" I said, "With Aylin hanim?" asked Yusef, I nodded. "But Demir bey you asked him to marry right?" "Yeah... Now he has fallen in love with Nuri" I sighed. "Nuri? The girl who took the USB?" I nodded.
"So... What are you gonna do Demir bey?" "I am not sure. I want Edric to be happy but it will be hard for him to make Nuri love him" I said and Yusef listened attentively, "But, whatever happens, Nuri and Ferit must not be together. It will be disastrous if Ferit finds out about the document. So if Nuri is with Edric, we will be on the safe side" I said and grinned.

We got out of the car and headed towards the go-down, a few other men were standing outside. "Are these the new guns?" I asked Yusef, "Yes Demir bey... The first-class ones. The other commons are under there" "Hmm... Nice" I said and took a shotgun out of the crate and tried aiming. "Where are the real ones? The most precious ones?" I asked.
Yusef smirked, "They are on their way, don't worry Demir bey. They will reach Istanbul by next morning" he said. "Great, now you men load these in the trucks outside and if there is any trouble, we will be in the office" I said and they nodded. Yusef followed me into the dark office and I locked the door behind me.
"Yusef, we should plan this perfectly. It isn't that easy" "But Demir bey, there wasn't much confusion when we talked about it yesterday" He said. "I know, but we should be alert. Planning a murder is complicated" I said. "Demir bey, you just have to go there secretly and choke him. I will take care of the alarms and the cameras, that's all" he said.
"You are right, we will go there in the evening, and it will be done soon enough" I said and he nodded, but I was slightly scared. If something goes wrong then I won't be able to get out of such a mess again, so making the perfect plan was necessary. Be ready Ferit Aras, I am coming for you, I smirked.

I walked over to the reception, "Uh... Good evening. Can I know where room 26A is?" I asked. "Yes, room no's 20 to 30 are on that side" said the man and pointed towards the corner. "Thank you" I replied. As I turned to leave, "Umm... How are you related to the patient?" "We were neighbors when I was young. We were pretty close back then but after the disease, they moved here and I've not been able to get in touch with them" I said.
I was wonderful at cooking up stories and the receptionist believed me wholeheartedly. "Oh, ok sir" he said, and I walked over to the room. The room I wanted was not exactly 26A, It was 29A, and I peeped into the Tahir's room. As expected it was empty and he was in the testing room. Yusef was accurately dealing with the cameras and alarms while I sneaked into the room.
I was well hidden behind the wall leading to the washroom and I checked my watch. Tahir was supposed to be back in five minutes and I waited. I heard the doorknob being turned, "Tahir bey you look pretty healthy to me" said the nurse, "Haha! Don't be silly. Only a bit more sand is left in my hourglass" he replied and laughed, again with his silly philosophies.
"Don't say such things Tahir bey. Come on let me help you up onto the bed" she said and helped the old man get up from the wheelchair. "How is your brother by the way? Did he get the job in that agency?" Asked Tahir bey. The nurse laughed, "He flunked it like always! But that is good news for me. My mother insisted on marriage right after my brother gets a job, so I am safe for now" she replied with a grin.
"Youngsters these days... You all don't wanna marry! I am struggling with my son... He thinks like you" said Tahir and sighed. I wanted to tell him straight that Ferit could have been married to my sister now if he wasn't so adamant. He rejected her because of that one night stand. Just a one night stand, which was utterly stupid.
"I think Ferit bey is fine on his own... Can you bend your arm a bit? I need to give you this injection" she said, and the old man obeyed. "Hey... Isn't that Idris' camera?" he asked noticing the small gadget on the table. "He must've forgotten it here... Can you give me that?" He asked and the lady handed it to him. He messed around with it a bit but didn't have a clue on how to operate it.
"You can keep it back, I don't know much about these fancy things" he said and the nurse chuckled. "I will bring you dinner after a few hours, sleep well" she said after she had given him the injection. "Thank you dear" replied the man and laid back. I stood there for a few more minutes and I felt my hand getting lighter, but I didn't care much and waited for him to fall asleep.
I crept out from the shadow and put on my gloves. I took the cushion from the chair next to the bed. I stepped closer and forced it over his face and choked him as planned. He didn't move, didn't stir, and when I took it off of his face, he was lying there as still as before. I passed my hand over his nose and checked his pulse...
The man was dead.
I killed him, but I freed him from his suffering so I wasn't guilty. I wiped the sweat off of my face. I dusted the cushion and placed it back, then I removed my gloves. It was done, and I quietly stepped out of the room. Just so I don't get noticed, I headed towards room 26A. "Good evening" I said and entered the room.
A lady and a man were sitting on the bed and the lady had a plaster on her arm, "Is this Emre bey's room?" I asked. "No... this room is under Gizem hanim" replied the man. "Oh... Sorry to bother you" I said and left them casually. I went outside the hospital and out to the parking lot and found Yusef waiting.
"Done" I said and got in. Yusef smiled at me and we drove back home.
