Chapter 46 Melek I wake up, feeling tired and disoriented. The last thing I remember is running away from Habbab, upset with him, after learning he was a married man. I open my eyes slowly and find a man standing in front of me. His face is familiar and something about him makes me uncomfortable. "Hello little princess, you're finally awake." He says as he watches me with a disturbing smile. "Nice to meet you my name is, Ahmet Arslan." Arslan? So his face was familiar to me, he must be Habbab's family and they look somewhat alike, but I can't understand why I'm here. "What am I doing here, why did you kidnap me, where is Habbab, why do you have me here?" "Wow, honey, you sing more than a little birdie in a hurry." he says mocking me. He says mocking me. He grabs a chair and pulls it over to sit across from me, so close that our noses might touch but for me backing away. "Melek, my mission was to kidnap you and end your life," Ahmet says in a serious tone, and with a macabre smil
HabbabI finish dinner alone, lost in my thoughts when a strange movement coming from the kitchen catches my attention. I immediately stand up and cautiously cross the kitchen door. My eyes meet Derya Arslan. We haven't seen each other in months, and now that I have her in front of me, I realize that I no longer have to call her grandma or show her any respect."What are you doing here?" I ask, a mix of surprise and distrust in my voice. "How did you get in?"Derya looks at me with sadness, her eyes filling with tears. I recognize her strategy, trying to evoke pity for herself, thinking that everyone will bend to her whims. It's hard to see this woman in a positive light, someone who lied to me and manipulated me for years. I will never trust her again."I came to ask for your help, Habbab," she says, her voice trembling. "I managed to escape Ahmet's clutches thanks to one of the guards who was still loyal to me. He's kept me captive all these months, claiming that I suffer from senil

Chapter 47HabbabI stop in front of the imposing Arslan mansion, and a wave of emotions engulfs me. It feels like light-years have passed since the day I left this place, even though only six months have actually gone by. Apprehension grows inside me, not having the slightest idea of what awaits me behind those doors.Ahmet summoned me for a special meeting, sending me a letter claiming to have information about Melek. My heart burns with fury at the mere possibility that Ahmet might have been the one who ended Melek's life. If that turns out to be true, I won't rest until he pays for his crime.However, I also feel some disappointment in how little Derya revealed to me. All she told me was that Ahmet has a safe house on the outskirts of the city, in the countryside, and that she once overheard him mention Melek's name, speaking of her as if she were alive. These words have given me a glimmer of hope, the hope that Melek, the love of my life, is still alive.But I know I can't let my
Anguish overwhelms me, but I also feel a strong determination. Melek is alive, and I will get her back, no matter the cost. I have to hold back the urge to cry just from seeing her face. But I also feel hatred towards that man mocking us like a maniac."You have no scruples, Ahmet," I say with restrained fury. "But I warn you, this won't end the way you think. If you lay a hand on her, I will kill you. I will make you pay."I continue staring at Ahmet, the burning rage and determination within me. "If anything happens to Melek, I assure you, you will pay for it. There will be no place where you can hide from my wrath," I warn him firmly.Hazar joins my words, his eyes filled with determination. "If you harm my daughter, you will face the consequences. No matter how much time it takes, I will search for you to the ends of the earth."Ahmet just laughs, as if our threats were a joke. He calmly returns to the chair behind his desk and crosses his legs with an air of superiority."Do you
Chapter 48HabbabI feel frustrated, not knowing how to rescue Melek without losing my money and without killing the grandmother... It's complicated. I'm about to get into my car when Hazar slams the door shut, making me jump in fright."What are you doing, Hazar? We don't have time to waste; we need to find a way to save Melek without killing anyone," I say, a little angry.But instead of talking about Ahmet and his demands, Hazar surprises me with an unexpected question. "Tell me the truth, Habbab. Could Ahmet be right? Could Melek really be pregnant?"The question catches me off guard, and I feel a knot in my throat. I can't believe I have to answer to him right now. It's strange because he is my biological father, but he's also Melek's father since he raised her. And now, I have to face the father of the woman who might be pregnant out of wedlock... Great."I don't know," I answer honestly, "it could be true. Melek and I have been together, and I don't remember if we took precauti
