Darwis' POVI walked out of prison with mixed feelings. Relief and joy mixed with anxiety and uncertainty about what would happen next. I sat restlessly on a park bench outside the prison, waiting for Kayra to arrive who was also freed from prison. My mind kept spinning, trying to understand how all this could have happened.A moment later, the prison door opened again and Kayra came out with a relieved look on her face. I immediately stood up and walked over to her. We hugged each other tightly, feeling the freedom we had just gained."I still can't believe we're free, Darwis," Kayra said in a low but emotional voice."Me too, Kayra. But we have to thank Andrian. He managed to bribe the prosecutor and get us free from all of Kate's charges," I replied.At that moment, a black car stopped in front of us. Andrian got out of the car with a triumphant smile on his face. "Get in, you guys. We have to get out of here soon."We i
Kayra’s POVI sat on the couch in my apartment, feeling a strange sense of relief after being released from prison. But beneath that sense of relief was a haunting emptiness. Darwis sat beside me, holding my hand gently. He had always been there for me, but even his presence couldn’t completely erase the shadow of regret that clouded my heart.As Darwis walked into the kitchen to make tea, my mind drifted back to moments past. The miscarriage I had experienced so long ago still felt so real, like a wound that hadn’t healed. I had lost our baby, a hope and a dream that had been shattered so easily. When I first found out I was pregnant, I felt so happy and hopeful. I had imagined a future with Darwis and our child, a happy family. But then it all fell apart in the blink of an eye.I remembered that night, as the blood began to flow and the unbearable pain wracked my body. I knew something was wrong, and fear crept into my heart. When the doctor confirmed th
Kate’s POVThat night, I couldn’t sleep. The prosecutor’s decision to acquit Darwis and Kayra of all charges kept haunting my mind. The fact that they could go free without any punishment felt so unfair. I was restless, pacing my apartment, trying to find a way to get justice.After trying to contact the prosecutor’s office several times and getting turned down by the receptionist, I felt frustrated. There was no satisfactory answer, and every time I tried to meet the prosecutor, I was always told that he was busy with a trial or other matters. I knew something was wrong, something was being hidden.Finally, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I had to get answers, and the only way to do that was to confront Darwis directly. I grabbed my car keys and left the apartment, my heart full of determination. When I arrived at Darwis' apartment, I felt a mixture of anger, sadness, and anxiety. I didn't know what to expect, but I knew I had
Kate's POV Inside the apartment, I threw my bag on the sofa and slumped down on the dining chair. I felt so tired, both physically and emotionally. Everything that had happened lately had drained my energy. I felt like I was in a vicious circle that had no end. I lowered my head, holding my face with both hands, trying to calm myself down. However, the image of Darwis and Kayra's faces kept appearing in my mind, making my anger burn even more. I couldn't let this go. I had to do something, but I didn't know what. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I raised my head in surprise, wondering who could be coming at this time of night. I stood up and walked towards the door, opening it carefully. There stood Erlan, with a worried expression on his face. "Kate, I'm worried about you. Are you okay?" he asked softly. Seeing Erlan's caring face made me feel a little calmer. I nodded slowly and let him in. "Come in
Kate's POVWe met Tio, a young man with passion evident on his face. He greeted us warmly, shaking Erlan’s hand and then mine.“Nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Kate. Erlan told me a lot about your skills and experience,” Tio said with a respectful smile.I returned his smile, feeling a little more comfortable. “Nice to meet you too, Tio. I hope we can have a good working relationship.”The meeting started smoothly. Tio presented his idea enthusiastically, and I could immediately see the great potential in his project. Erlan occasionally added comments, supporting Tio’s ideas and showing how well the project fits with our company’s vision.During the conversation, I felt a sense of calm slowly flowing into me. Focusing on work and discussing a productive future distracted my mind from personal problems. I began to see the potential of this partnership not just as a business opportunity, but also as a way out of the emotional turmoil I was
Kate’s POVWhen I arrived at the office, the atmosphere felt formal and stressful again. The aroma of coffee from the next room greeted me, bringing a little sense of calm after the fun time I spent with Erlan. However, I knew that today would be filled with responsibilities and important decisions again.I walked through the lobby with a faint smile at the receptionist, who returned my smile politely. Arriving in front of my office door, I took a deep breath before opening it. A realization that even though life goes on, I must stay focused on my work.Inside, my secretary, Maya, was waiting with a stack of files in her hands. She was always punctual and organized, something I really appreciated amidst this busy schedule.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Kate,” Maya greeted politely. “There are some files that need to be signed today. Also, there are some meeting schedules that you need to review.”I nodded as I took off my jacket and placed it on
Kate’s POV“Yes, ma’am. I will arrange it immediately.”I hung up the phone and stared at the computer screen in front of me. The nervous feeling slowly turned into a fighting spirit. I knew that this competition would be tough, but I was more than ready to face whatever came. Both as a company leader and as someone who had to prove herself to her ex-husband, I would not back down. Slowly, a faint smile appeared on my face. The game had just begun, and I was ready to play. I looked back at the computer screen, feeling the throbbing in my head that indicated the tension that had not subsided. Even though I tried to focus on work, the thought of how the meeting with Darwis would go still haunted my mind. I knew very well that in the business world, I could not let personal feelings affect my professional judgment. However, this time it felt different. There was something about this competition that made it more than just a job. I t
Darwis' POVI stared at the computer screen in front of me, lost in the various graphs and moving numbers. The new project I was working on at Golden Group was one of the biggest projects in my career. The central building we were going to build was not only a symbol of the company's strength but also an important marker for my reputation as a successful leader.The success of this project would not only benefit the company but also strengthen my position in the business world. The building that was planned to stand majestically in the city center had been my main focus for the past few months. My team of architects and engineers had been working hard, and now we were almost at the tender presentation stage, where everything would be determined.Usually, I always felt confident in facing a big project like this, but this time there was something different, something that was bothering me. The name that appeared on the list of bidders was Kate.I r
