Kayra's POV After leaving the hospital, I went straight to Rico's headquarters. This place is an old building on the outskirts of town, far from the crowds. I felt anxious and nervous when I entered the building. In an instant, I arrived at the dark and cold main room. Rico sat behind a large table, the atmosphere was full of tense atmosphere. I directed my steps toward Rico's table and stopped a few steps in front of him. Rico looked cold and heartless, his sharp eyes looked at me expressionlessly. "Welcome, Kayra," he said in an even tone. "Is there anything I can help?" I held back my anger and got straight to the point. "I need to know what happened to Kate. Why did you just let her go? I want your answers now." Rico tilted his head and looked at me with a cold gaze. "Why should I give you an answer?" he asked while looking at me sarcastically. "You know, I don't get involved in any of this unless th
Darwis's POV I sat in the apartment office, eyes staring at the computer screen without really seeing what was written there. My thoughts were caught in an emotional mess. A phone call from Adrian, a lawyer who was always able to maintain composure, woke me up from my confusion. "Kayra has just been rushed to the hospital," said Adrian and surprised me. "What happened to Kayra?" I asked Adrian, trying to keep my voice down so as not to show how worried I was. "She looks very sick," answered Adrian in a panicked tone. "And what's worse, she just disappeared from the hospital after we arrived. The police are looking for her now." My blood felt like it was freezing. "Escape? How could that be?" "Yes," Adrian explained. "We are still trying to get more information, but at this time, Kayra is no longer in the hospital." I felt a de
Kayra's POV The pain I felt was getting worse as I hid in the dark corner of this deserted hallway. Every breath felt like a stab in my chest. My face was pale, covered in cold sweat that flowed down my temples. The pain radiating from my stomach was getting worse, making it difficult for me to think clearly.I pulled my thin jacket closer, trying to find warmth in the darkness. The sound of footsteps in the distance made me even more alert, but I was too weak to move far. While enduring the pain, I tried to calm my mind. "I can't go back to the hospital," I thought. "They'll catch me."Time seemed to pass in excruciating uncertainty. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. I pressed my body against the wall, hoping the sound would just go away. However, as the footsteps got closer, a familiar face appeared at the end of the hallway."Kayra!" Darwis called me urgently, his gaze full of concern as he saw my condition.I was shock
Kayra's POVI felt weak and tired, but I trusted Darwis completely. “Thank you, Darwis,” I said softly. “I know I’ve made many mistakes, but I really want us to get through this together.”Darwis held my hand tightly. “We’ll get through this together. I won’t let anything happen to you or our child.”We continued our journey with strong determination. Even though the future seemed uncertain, Darwis promised me that he would do everything he could to protect his family. We would hide until everything could be resolved better, and he wouldn’t give up until I and our child were completely safe. Upon arriving in the small, remote town, Darwis rented a small house away from the hustle and bustle. He made sure I got all the care and rest I needed. However, as I lay in bed, I heard Darwis talking on the phone with Adrian. "Adrian, I can't find Kayra," he said, his voice full of fatigue. "I'm out of town on business for a while. Tell them I'm b
Kate's POVI felt a great sense of relief when I was finally declared better and could go home from the hospital. The three days I spent there gave me plenty of time to reflect and open my heart to the gentle care given by Erlan.In my room which was still filled with the scent of antiseptic, I saw Erlan busy taking care of all the administration before we could go home. He carefully made sure that all the bills were paid and that no details were missed. I smiled a little, feeling grateful to have someone so caring."Erlan, you don't have to bother like that," I said in a soft tone, even though my heart felt warmed by his attitude.Erlan turned and smiled at me. "I just wanted to make sure everything was in order before we went home, Kate. You've been through enough, let me take care of everything."I felt touched. During the three days in the hospital, Erlan was always by my side, giving me endless support. He showed a gentle and romanti
Kate's POVErlan took a deep breath before answering. "Kayra escaped from prison. She's now a fugitive."I was shocked. "How is that possible? Shouldn't the security be tight?"Erlan nodded. "It should be, but somehow she managed to escape. Andi just told me. The police are looking for me now."I felt a mixture of worry and relief. "Is she dangerous? Should we be worried?"Erlan held my hand, looking at me seriously. "We have to be careful, Kate. Kayra can do anything when she's in a pinch. But I won't let anything happen to you."I felt warmth and calmness from Erlan's grip. "Thank you, Erlan. I knew I could count on you."Erlan lowered his head slightly, showing a sign of my deep concern. "I have to go away for a while to make sure everything is safe and help Andi. But I'll be back as soon as possible."I felt reluctant to let Erlan go, but I knew this was important. "Okay, Erlan. Be careful, and come back so
Erlan's POVThat night, Kate felt calmer with my presence. Despite the uncertainty and worry that lurked, she knew that I would always be there for her. With a slightly lighter heart, Kate could finally sleep peacefully, while I remained vigilant, ready to face whatever might come.The next morning, I was still romantic with Kate. I made breakfast, making sure that Kate didn't have to do anything. However, the worry about Kayra's situation still looms in my mind. I tried to stay calm and focus on Kate, but my mind kept returning to the unresolved problem.While we were enjoying breakfast together, my phone rang again. Seeing Andi's name on the screen, I felt nervous. I took a deep breath before answering the call."I'm here," I said in a calm voice."I, I have some news," Andi said in a serious tone. "We found a clue about Kayra's whereabouts. We need you here as soon as possible."I glanced at Kate, who was looking at me with questioning eyes. I knew I couldn’t ignore this call, but
Erlan's POV"Ready?" Andi whispered to me. I nodded. Andi signaled his team. They began to enter the house carefully, opening the door slowly. Andi and I followed behind, ready for anything that might happen. Inside, it was quiet. We could hear our own footsteps echoing throughout the room. We moved slowly, checking every corner, every room, looking for signs of Kayra. Suddenly, we heard footsteps from upstairs. Andi's team moved quickly, climbing the stairs carefully. I followed behind them, my breath heavy. Every second passed with infinite tension. Upstairs, we saw a slightly open bedroom door. Andi gestured to come closer. Carefully, he pushed the door open wider. Inside, we saw Kayra sitting on the edge of the bed, her face looking pale and tired."Kayra," Andi called in a calm but firm voice. "We are here to take you back. There is no point in fighting."Kayra looked at us with eyes full of fear. She looked li
Kate’s POV Erlan nodded, a wide smile still on his face. "Yes, Kate. I have prepared everything. We will get married in a week, at the place we talked about before. I just need one more thing..." He looked at me deeply, his loving eyes making me feel like the luckiest person in the world. "What is it?" I asked softly, almost whispering, while my heart was full of hope and happiness. Erlan reached out his hand, held mine gently, and then asked, "Will you marry me, Kate?" Tears began to well up in my eyes, but this time they were tears of unstoppable happiness. I had never felt love this great before, and I knew that Erlan was the right person for me. "Of course I do, Erlan," I answered in a voice full of emotion. "I want to marry you, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Erlan smiled happily, and in an instant, he pulled me into his arms. I could feel his strong heartbeat, accompanying my own. We hugged each other tightly as if we didn't want to let go
Kate's POV I stepped out of the office, the cool night air touching my skin as I walked to the car. The thought of having dinner with my father tonight made my steps feel heavier. Over the past few months, our relationship has begun to improve after the previous tension. My father, who was initially so against my relationship with Erlan, had slowly begun to soften. However, for some reason, something felt different. My father, who used to be stiff and rarely showed his emotions, was now more attentive. He often invited me to dinner, talking about little things that had never been a topic of conversation before. Although I was happy with this change, there was still a little worry that was bothering me. Was this a sign that he had finally accepted my relationship with Erlan? Or maybe there was something else he was hiding? I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before finally deciding to leave. The restaurant my father had chosen was located near his house, so I decided to stop
Kate’s POV I sat on my bed, letting the reality of this message sink in completely. All the loneliness, all the patience, it was all about to pay off. It felt like a dream come true, a dream I had been waiting for so long. In a rush of enthusiasm, I typed a reply quickly, trying to channel all the feelings that were pressing to come out. [I'm so happy to hear that, Erlan! I can't wait to see you. I miss you too, and I'll be waiting with great enthusiasm. See you in a week, honey.] After sending the message, I smiled widely. The thought of the coming week began to fill my mind—the thought of the two of us walking together, having a romantic dinner, and all the warm conversations I had missed. Just imagining it made me feel happy. I stared at the ceiling of my room while hugging my pillow tightly, imagining the moment when I could finally hug Erlan again, feeling his warmth and calmness that I had only been able to feel from afar. This happy feeling was like sunlight shining on my
Kate’s POV He was tall and dignified, wearing a formal suit that fit him well. From the way he approached me, I could feel the intensity behind his smile. "Kate," he called out in a familiar tone, even though I didn't know him. "I wanted to congratulate you on the success of your project. I've long admired your hard work." I nodded and smiled politely. "Thank you. It means a lot to me." "Not only is your hard work admirable, but also the way you deal with challenges," he continued. "I see you at events like this all the time, and you always seem so strong and independent. Do you always come alone?" The question sounded innocent, but there was something about the way he said it that made me feel a little uneasy. "Yeah, I usually come alone. But I'm not really alone," I answered cautiously. The man smiled wider, his eyes shining with obvious interest. "You know, Kate, I've been watching you for the past two years. And I've never seen you with anyone. I couldn't help but ask..
Kate’s POV It’s been two years since that painful goodbye at the airport. Back then, I never imagined how my days would change. But here I am, standing at the grand opening party of a project I’ve worked so hard on. I can feel the admiring gazes of the guests, some of whom are warmly congratulating me, and others even offering to work with me on my next project. The long black dress I’m wearing tonight makes me feel elegant and dignified. I stand tall, looking around the room filled with entrepreneurs, investors, and colleagues who have all come to celebrate this success. But beneath the glitter and the praise, there’s a deep sense of relief. Not just because the project went perfectly, but because I’ve proven something to myself—that I can do it, that I can stand tall even when the world seems to be falling apart. I remember the long nights of hard work, the times when exhaustion almost overwhelmed me. But now, it all feels worth it. I’ve accomplished something greater than I e
Kate’s POV I nodded with a heavy heart, trying to hold back tears. “I believe in you, Erlan. I will wait and support you from here. Farewell, and may everything go well for you there.” As the time for the plane to depart grew closer, we stood there, hugging each other tightly. I felt a deep emptiness and sadness as I watched him prepare to leave. Every second felt like time was ticking away, and it felt like all the happiness that had ever existed was shrinking into deep sadness. “What about the two of us?” I asked, trying to distract myself from my sadness. “What are our plans after you leave?” Erlan smiled softly, though his eyes were filled with pain. “We will continue to communicate well. I will try to come home whenever I have the chance. We will continue to support and encourage each other. I am sure we will get through this.” We talked about our plans and tried to cheer each other up. We tried to keep our spirits up even though we were feeling so heavy. Erlan kept wiping a
Kate’s POVI stared at him with wide eyes, trying to absorb what he had just said. “But, this is a big offer, Erlan. Are you sure you want to take the job? Doesn’t that mean we have to have a long-distance relationship?”Erlan nodded, seemingly undeterred by the challenges that might come. “Yes, I am. I know this is not an easy decision, and there will definitely be many challenges. But I believe that if I accept this offer and prove myself abroad, it will give us great advantages in the future.”“Do you really want to do this?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly with emotion. “Are you ready to face all those challenges?”Erlan smiled softly, then took my hand. “Kate, I don’t just want to prove myself to your father. I also want to prove to myself that I can do something big and significant. And I want to do it while still loving you and fighting for our relationship.”I fell silent, trying to comprehend the big decision that Erlan had ju
Kate’s POV “You look really tired, Kate,” Erlan said as he opened the car door for me.“I am,” I admitted as I got into the car. “I had a lot on my mind today.”Erlan stared at me for a moment, as if considering his next words, then said, “I’m glad you said yes to my invitation. Let’s make tonight a little lighter, okay?”I nodded, grateful for his kindness.We arrived at a restaurant we had been to a few times before. The place was small, warm, and had a calming atmosphere. The waiter greeted us with a smile, and we were quickly seated at our favorite table in the corner.“How about I order for the two of us?” Erlan asked after seeing me staring blankly at the menu.“Go ahead,” I said with a weak smile. I knew he would order something I liked.After the waiter took our orders, Erlan looked at me intently. “How was your day, Kate? It seemed like something was bothering you.”I took a breath, feeling l
Kate's POV My phone vibrated on the table as I was enjoying a cup of coffee on a quiet morning. A message came in from Darwis. "Can we meet this afternoon? There's something important I want to talk about." I stared at the message with a slightly raised eyebrow. Why did Darwis suddenly want to meet? We had agreed to meet the day after tomorrow. But no suspicion crossed my mind. After all, our relationship was much better now—no drama, no pain that used to be between us. I took another sip of coffee and decided to reply briefly, "Sure." That afternoon, I arrived at the cafe we used to frequent. This place held many memories, but it didn't feel like it used to. Now, I come here more often with Erlan. The owner of the cafe recognized us and was used to our presence. I entered and saw Darwis already sitting at the table we used to occupy. When I approached, he turned and smiled. There was somethi
