57] The Scarlet Halo.
"So, I take it that you took my advice and talked to Sedar?" Riley inquired as she sat in her chair, behind her desk, staring at Mercedes who stood by the window with her arms crossed.
Mercedes gazed out the window, her arms tightening around herself as she reflected on her evening with Sedar and the kisses he bestowed upon her prior to boarding the Jet. She noticed something different about him, like the way he looked at her and spoke to her with more conviction.
She was also nervous about seeing Ozgar and hoped he wouldn't figure out her true motives for her sudden return.
"That was the easy part." She finally spoke. "I'm afraid my emotions will triumph over my logic. When I returned, he had one condition." She muttered, feeling caught between reality and a misconstrued dream.
"I'm assuming you have to share a bed with him and be willing to screw him?" Riley snorted.
If she had a dollar for every time she heard that term, she could retire by

Sedar sat inside the jet, anticipating Mercedes' arrival with a bouquet of flowers and a chilled bottle of wine on the table. He figured he'd take the initiative and surprise her. Three days had passed too slowly for him, especially since his büyùk baba had moved out and it was just him and the house staff at his home. He felt lonely and believed only his wife could fill that void. When Mercedes appeared in front of him, she was dressed in loose track pants, a fitted singlet, a long cardigan, ugg boots, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. He had to stop himself from laughing because the laughter that threatened to erupt from his belly was burning inside him like lava, engulfing everything it touched. When her eyes met his, she screamed, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and her hand covering her tired, make-up-free face from him. He stood up, picking up the flowers, and approached her with an amused expression on his handsome face. "Hoşgeldin
Her CEO's Steel Heart 59] The Traditional Kiwi Breakfast.
Mercedes awoke with music playing in the background and rolled over, stretching her tired and sore limbs. She lay flat on her back, her fingers running through her hair as she gazed up at the ceiling. The room was brightly lit by the early morning sun, and she extended her hand to admire the ring that was beautifully displayed on her finger. The bed dipped beside her and her gaze was drawn to Sedars as he leant in and kissed her good morning. "Günaydn,(good morning) Mrs Ozturk." He said as he pressed another kiss to her swollen lips. "Good morning." Her face flushed, and she drew the sheet tighter around her naked body. "I ran you a bath because I know your body must be a little sore after this morning." He looked at her with apologetic eyes. "You make me wild with lust." He openly declared to her. When they returned to the house from the hanger, he had pounced on her and made crazy sweet love to her several times throughout the remainder of t
Her CEO's Steel Heart 60] Back For Good?
"Ahhhh, Mrs Ozturk." Neriman rushed over to her, having witnessed her and Sedar exit the elevators hand in hand. "Are you back for good?" She said as she drew her in for a massive hug. "She is, indeed, Neriman. You now have five minutes to go around and inform everyone." Sedar laughed as he looked at her. "I don't need five, but I'll gladly take them." She spoke as she leant in and gave Mercedes another quick hug before fleeing. "You're so mean to her," Mercedes gasped, slapping Sedar on the arm, playfully with a smirk on her face. "Do you know how many daddy lawsuits I'd get if I was kind to every woman I know, a month?" He gave her a sceptical look as he shook his head from experience. She rolled her eyes at him, aware that he was speaking the truth but unwilling to admit it. He guided her to his office by placing his hand on the small of her back. As they entered, he took her hand in his and led her to his desk, where he sat in his of
Her CEO's Steel Heart 61] Cesur Yürek.
Mercedes sat on the sofa in Sedar's office, poring over the blueprints for the new projects Sedar intends to build over the next few years. She rolled the prints back up and reinserted them into their tubes, her gaze raised to the wall clock. "I'm off to lunch with Neriman now; would you like me to bring you anything?" Mercedes inquired as she rose and approached him, sitting on the edge of his desk, rearranging his mused hair. He took her hand in his, brought it to his lips, and kissed her knuckles lightly. "Hayir,(no) but I will accompany you downstairs because I have someone I need to introduce you to." He leant back in his chair, his gaze fixed on hers. "Me?" She inquired, her hand resting on her chest in bemusement. "Evet." (Yes) He raised himself from his chair and slid his arms through his suit jacket, giving her a cheeky wink. She stood in front of him, adjusting his collar and smoothing his ash grey, silky tie with her fingers. "You'v
Her CEO's Steel Heart 62] Lunch Date.
"I'll get the Siş kebap and a tea, please," Mercedes said, handing the menu back to the waitress. "I'll just have what she's having." After carefully reading the menu, Neriman finally spoke up. They sat at the table in awkward silence, looking around the small intimate cafe a few times before Mercedes spoke. "I appreciate you joining me." She expressed with embarrassment. "Teşekkürler, (thanks) for the invitation. I was shocked when you asked me, out of all people." She responded truthfully. Mercedes cocked her head and looked her in the eyes. "Why wouldn't I ask you? You're the one who works for my husband, the one who keeps him on his toes and makes him want to pull out his hair. I wouldn't want to befriend anyone else besides you." Mercedes said, propping her arm against the table and resting her chin on her hand. "You're too kind." "You need to give credit where credit is due, Neriman." Mercedes let her gaze drift ove
Her CEO's Steel Heart 63] Held Captive.
Mercedes was dumped inside a large abandoned building that was surrounded by tall trees, it was cold due to its age-related collapse, and there was no sign of anyone living in the area, no one close enough to suspect she was being held captive in that particular building as it was fenced off and had 'Demolition Warning' signs stationed everywhere. Through the darkness, Mercedes gradually began to awaken; the side of her head throbbed, and her mouth felt as parched as a desert. She groaned in pain and rolled to her side as the haze in which she had awoken from, began to lift and she was quickly reminded of the assault she had suffered at the cafe. She was compelled to lie on the cold, hard concrete ground, her hands bound behind her back, and her ankle imprisoned by a large chain that was embedded in the wall. She realised was blindfolded, her vision being torn from her, and her screams for help were muffled by a large piece of rag tied around her mouth.
Her CEO's Steel Heart 64] Knock, Knock.
Mercedes found herself drifting in and out of consciousness; she had no idea how long she had been on the ground; she was hungry, thirsty, cold, and desperate for a bathroom. Her body shivered uncontrollably; the clothes she was wearing were unsuitable for the cold nights spent sleeping on the concrete ground, out in the open. She shuffled to her left, pointing her foot out in search of a wall, and stopped when her heel came into contact with one. She shuffled until she was able to sit upright using the wall. She exhaled a sigh of relief; being able to sit upright in her current state was a huge accomplishment, and she could already feel her hip thanking her. The sound of someone clapping caused her to jump, her head frantically turning side to side as she attempted to identify the direction the source of the sound was coming from. He stifled a titter.

Her CEO's Steel Heart 65] Royally Screwed.
Mercedes's disappearance has now lasted four days. That's approximately 96 hours of full-time, body consuming fear that has everyone on edge. Sedar needed to get out of the house; he was going stir crazy from being cooped up in his house, surrounded by cops. He felt helpless and needed some time away, to gather his thoughts. He jumped into his Corvette and drove to the Logan and Pools Leisure Centre in the city to swim laps. He had to expel the sickening feeling of being doomed that was consuming him entirely. He was unable to sleep for more than two hours at a time and when day turned into night, he couldn't control the verbal outbursts of abuse he would haul at everyone, feeling emotionally drained. He was at a loss for how else to assist other than to throw money at the crisis and he had never felt so worthless in his life. He was out of his element and it was driving him wild. On instinct, he sent his Jet to pick up Ezekiel; he
