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
"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
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
"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
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.
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. "Shh, you remind me of a korkmuş küçük kedicik. (Scared little kitty) It's extremely satisfying to o
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
As Sedar began to regain consciousness, he heard voices in the background, people yelling at one another, and he groaned as a niggling headache formed at the sides of his temples. 'Awaken, you moron!' He was growled at by his inner God. 'Confirm the safety of your wife!' He jerked awake, looking around frantically, and realised he was in the back of the Police SWAT Truck. His gaze met Ezekiels' and he lunged at him, his fingers gripping the lapels of his shirt as his nose came into contact with his and his breathing was ferociously loud. "Where is she?" He muttered, his rage overpowering him. Two men in the back stood up and attempted to pull him away from Ezekiel. He thrust out his elbow and strikes one of the officers in the face, all the while maintaining eye contact with Ezekiel. "I asked, 'Where is she?'" His words boomed off the walls and reverberated in the truck. He stood there watching as Ezekiel swallowed the lump that had fo
One hour before the bust... Mercedes shivered on the ground, her teeth chattering and her stomach muscles contracting as gusts of wind slammed into her like waves crashing against the shoreline. Raising her unbound hands to her mouth, she blew on them. She was taken aback when her captor had untied them, allowing her to eat dinner the night before, which consisted of rice, vegetables, and a fragrant sauce that made her taste buds dance with delight and her stomach sing with gratitude. However, her eyes remained hidden behind the dampened blindfold and she progressed from blowing on her hands to rubbing them up and down her arms. Attempting to eradicate the goosebumps that had etched their way permanently into her flawless skin. "Hello... Are you still here?" she croaked. Only the faint sound of leaves brushing against the ground greeted her. "Please. I'm so.. cold." She whimpered, unsure how much longer he
