Kayra's POVThe sky outside the window was gray, perfectly depicting my gloomy mood. I sat in the corner of the room, staring blankly at the curtained window. Since that incident, I felt like I was trapped in endless darkness. Every second, every minute, was filled with nothing but emptiness and deep sadness. I used to be a woman full of life and ambition, but now, I couldn't find anything that could motivate me to get out of bed every morning.The silence of this apartment was so oppressive. Every corner reminded me of what I had lost, of the life I used to have. But the most painful thing was the image of my child who I could no longer hold, could no longer touch. Losing him made me fall into a deep abyss of despair. And what was worse, I almost went to prison because of my own fault—because of my burning hatred for Kate.Kate. That name made my chest tighten every time I remembered it. The woman who was now the source of all my suffering. I blamed her f

Kayra's POV I walked to the table in the corner of the room, pulled out a drawer, and took out a small notebook that I hadn’t touched in a long time. In it, I began to jot down all the ideas that came into my head—ways to ruin her career, ruin the relationships she had, and ultimately, ruin her life completely.I wrote quickly, almost in a trance, as if my hands and mind were working nonstop. Word after word, plan after plan, everything began to take shape clearly. And the more I wrote, the more I felt that this was the only right thing to do.When I was done, I closed the book and stared at it in satisfaction. This was only the beginning, but I knew that I was on the right track. My revenge would not be deterred by anything. Nothing could stop me now.I reached for the chocolate cake Darwis had brought, broke a small piece, and put it in my mouth. The rich sweetness brought me a momentary relief, but it couldn’t erase the bitterness I felt. I p

Erlan's POVI sat in my office, trying to focus on the pile of files in front of me. However, my mind kept running elsewhere, stuck on Kate and everything that had happened between us lately. Her smile, the way she talked, and the warmth that was starting to grow between us, all made it difficult to concentrate. But behind all that, there was a doubt that slowly crept in. Our relationship had never been simple, and I knew there were invisible boundaries that I had to respect.While I was lost in those thoughts, my cell phone rang on my desk. The name on the screen made me momentarily stunned—the President and Director of the company, who was none other than Kate's father. I felt something serious was up. Maybe it was about work, or maybe it was something more personal. I took a deep breath and picked up my phone."Good afternoon, sir," I greeted politely."Erlan, can we meet this afternoon? There's something important I want to talk to you about,"

Erlan's POV When I returned to the office, my mind was still filled with Kate's father's words. I knew he only wanted the best for his daughter, but I also couldn't ignore my feelings. Was this really the end of my relationship with Kate? Or would I fight against all these odds and fight for something bigger than just status and position? I didn't know the exact answer, but one thing was clear—I had a tough decision to make, and whatever it was, it would have big consequences for both of us. After the tough meeting with Kate's father, my feelings were mixed. I couldn't ignore the words the man had said—words that not only hurt my pride but also shook my faith in the budding relationship between me and Kate. That night, I barely slept, my mind kept spinning about what I should do. I thought about Kate, her smile, the way she talked, and how I felt when I was with her. However, the shadow of her father's words continued to haunt me, adding to the burden on my shou

Kate's POVIt's been a few days since I started to feel something strange with Erlan. Usually, he was always there for me—supporting me, listening to all my stories, and making me feel loved. However, for some reason, lately, his attitude has changed. He still smiles at me, but it's not as warm as usual. He still talks to me, but his words feel empty like he's hiding something.I tried to ignore this feeling at first. I thought maybe he was just tired of work or had other problems that he didn't want to burden me with. But as the days went by, the change in his attitude became more obvious. He started to avoid spending time with me outside of work, no longer invited me to lunch together, and even the text messages he usually sent when I was busy began to be received less often. This wasn't the Erlan I knew.Last night, I sent him a message, asking if he was okay. His answer was short, just saying that he was fine and apologizing for not being able to talk

Kate’s POV He nodded again but said nothing. I felt my heart heavy as I walked away, leaving him alone in his office. Every step felt like an invisible weight, and I couldn’t shake the fear that maybe, we would never be the same again. When I got back to the office, I sat down in my chair, trying to calm myself. My mind was full of all the bad possibilities that could happen. What would happen if Erlan decided that he wasn’t good enough for me? What would happen if he decided to leave? I couldn’t lose Erlan. He was an important part of my life, someone who made me feel loved and appreciated. I didn’t care what my father said, because what mattered to me was the feelings I had for Erlan. I just hope he can see that he is more than enough for me. Office life went on as usual, even though my heart felt empty. Work piled up on my desk, and I tried my best to finish it while still thinking about the situation with Erlan. Even th

Kate’s POV I nodded determinedly, knowing that today would be a big test. “You’re welcome. I hope you’re ready for whatever comes.” The tension between us grew as we each took our positions to prepare our presentations. I could feel Darwis’ eyes on me, watching my every move. I tried to stay focused and not let this interaction affect me. As I gave my presentation, I tried my best to remain confident and professional. Every time I glanced at Darwis, I could see his challenging gaze. But I knew I couldn’t let myself be swayed by emotions or personal conflicts. This was an opportunity to show my abilities and the strength of my team. When the presentation was over, I felt relieved and satisfied. I had given my best and shown everything I had prepared. However, I also knew that Darwis would do the same and would not give us an easy win.

Kate’s POV On my way home after a long and tiring day, I felt relieved when I saw Erlan waiting for me in the office lobby. There was something that warmed my heart every time I saw him. Even though he had been distant the past few days, his presence tonight gave me a sense of security that was hard to explain. Maybe I was too tired to analyze everything, but I did know that I missed him. As we walked to the car, I decided to ask him to stop by a small cafe on the corner. “How about we stop for a coffee?” I asked with a smile, hoping to extend our time together before the night was over. Erlan turned to me, and for the first time in days, I saw a genuine smile on his face. “That’s okay. I think we need a little rest before we go home.” The cafe wasn’t too crowded tonight, only a few tables occupied. We chose a spot near the window, where we could see the street starting to empty. The waiter came over with menus, but I alrea
