11] She's taken off.
Three hours later...
Mercedes had been waiting patiently in the room for Sedars return. She had spoken to Ezekiel on the phone, cutting it short due to the nine-hour time difference, unpacked her bags and read a few pages of the book she had brought with her.
She was beginning to go insane from the lack of stimulation and couldn't take it any longer. She left the room, searching for her husband as she browsed the walls that were decorated with magnificent paintings along the way.
She descended the stairs and caught sight of the housekeeper that had kindly shown her to her room and carefully approached.
"Afet?" She hastily said, hoping she pronounced her name correctly.
She stopped dusting the large empty vases that sat in the entry foyer.
"I'm sorry, but do you speak English?" She wishfully asked.
Afet looked around the room and nodded.
"Evet,(yes) I speak little English." She s

Sedar pulled up along the seashore of Mercedes description. He got out of his car, activated the alarm, and walked down the street to see her seated on a bench. She bounced her legs while rubbing her hands up and down her arms. Removing his jacket, he walked up to her and placed it around her shoulders. She flinched as she didn't notice him approaching her and began peeling the jacket off her shoulders to return it to him. It was a thoughtful gesture that she admired. However, she did not wish to feel obligated to him as a result of his kindness. "Please, I'm fine." She made every effort to keep her teeth from chattering. "Hayir, (No) you'll catch a cold and I don't want that on my conscious." He sat down beside her, drawing her in closer as he rubbed his hand up and down her arm. She looked up at him, her gaze searching his face in awe. She'd heard those exact words two years ago and wondered if he was the mystery man she'd been thinking about al
Her CEO's Steel Heart 13] The Forbidden Kiss.
Earlier The Next Morning... "You know Cedes, I wouldn't wanna do life with anyone else," Alex told her honestly. She sighed knowing she felt the same way. Within the space of two years, they had grown very close and deep down she loved him for protecting her. "Me too Alex, you're the best friend I never wanted, but the big brother I could only have wished for." She said feeling her heart melt and explode with love all at once. They walked through the carpark, absentmindedly chatting away, heading towards the junkyard where their temporary home remained. A patrol car came screeching through the carpark, the doors flew open and two officers exited raising their firearms. "Stand where you are with your hands up." One officer demanded. They stopped abruptly and rose their shaking hands high in the air. "Walk slowly towards us." The officer commanded. Slowly they start
Her CEO's Steel Heart 14] Who Is Alex?
She fought against his grip; though he wasn't inflicting any pain towards her, he refused to let her go, and she became increasingly fearful of him. "Let go of me!" She raised her voice and began gathering as much of her chain as she could between her fingers. He lowered his hand from her chain as he fought an internal battle. Whether to yank the cheap piece of jewellery from her neck or let her continue to flaunt it in front of him. Tolerating the mockery it emanates. "You don't know anything about me, you don't know what I've had to endure growing up!" She tried her hardest to keep her voice from cracking, but she was failing miserably. Something snapped inside of him and he released her as if her feverish skin burned his fingertips. She quickly moved to the corner of the room, putting as much distance between them as she possibly could. "When I tell you I'm not ready to open up, it means just that! Not because I have som

Moments later the woman peered up and she noticed her standing on the stairs. Mercedes straightened her posture as she watched the blonde she-devil climb the stairs quickly in heels. Sedar cursed, rushing up the stairs, he took them two at a time and reached her side before she did. He drew Mercedes into him protectively, his face void of any expression when the woman stomped her foot and screamed. Mercedes flinched at her high shrilling expression towards her. "Zeynep!" Sedar glared at her and she narrowed her eyes at him. "Bü o mü?" (Is that her?) She snarled as she ran her eyes over Mercedes with jealousy. "Evet, (yes) speak English when you're in the presence of MY WIFE." He growled at her, placing a tender kiss on Mercedes's cheek. "Hayır o çöp!" (No she is garbage) She spat out with disdain. Mercedes looked at Sedar, he shook his head and sighed. His body went tense and he had images of slappi

As she watches him closing his eyes and leaning towards her. She yelps, with wide eyes, sidestepping him, narrowly escaping his intentions of kissing her. She raises a hand to her mouth, covering her smile as she watches him lose his balance; stumbling forward and face plants into the wall. He straightens, running his fingers through his hair, clearing his throat and looks at her with a frown marring his handsome face. "I mean what I said Sedar, keep your lips to yourself." She states clearly, subtly removing the smirk from her face. He lets out a low growl then smirks at her amusingly. It's like a game of cat and mouse between them. Excitement courses through his veins knowing he WILL catch her but all in good time. He likes to think of himself as a patient man and after sampling her nectar already, he knew she was going to be worth it. Removing his suit jacket, he hangs it on his coat stand and rolls up his sleeves. "
Her CEO's Steel Heart 17] All Transactions Must Come To An End.
The tension in the air was intense. Everyone in the conference room watched in silence as Sedars büyük baba stormed out, shaking his head and throwing his arms up in the air. When they could no longer hear or see his büyük baba shouting, they faced Sedar and Mercedes with passive expressions branding their faces. They were used to their disruptive display of communication between them and it never got too monotonous to watch. "Right, I'll need all the reports of the buildings plans and permits on my desk by the end of the day." He clearly announces his expectations from them for the day. "Evet, patron." (Yes, boss) They say as they start to gather their files and empty cups of tea. Sedar walks out of the room, holding Mercedes hand oblivious to the frown on her face. He turns to face her once they're alone and out of sight from curious eyes. "I need you to go back to my office and wait for me there." He tells her softly.&
Her CEO's Steel Heart 18] You're Hiding Something.
Three weeks later... Mercedes entered Sedar's office carrying a silver tray with two freshly brewed teas, which she placed on top of his desk while she waited for him to return from his meeting. She stood by the window, looking out at the cityscape. She's been in Istanbul for three weeks and has already fallen in love with the people and their customs. She hears the door open and, thinking it's Sedar, turns around to greet him with a smile. For the past week, she has enjoyed his company, working alongside him and watching him interact with his employees as if they were equals, earning her respect. Her smile fades as she realises Sedar has not entered the room. She exhales with a sigh, summoning all the patience she can muster from her core. When her gaze falls on a pair of grey eyes, she attempts to maintain a level tone of voice, unwilling to step down to her level once more. "Good day, Zeynep." She says, smiling. Zeynep runs her tong
Her CEO's Steel Heart 19] He Died Because I Killed Him!
He stood there, running his hands through his hair and leaning against the edge of his desk. He is well aware that Zeynep will go to any lengths to obtain the answers she craves. They may find themselves in serious trouble if she starts spreading the word that they did not marry out of love. He sighed and rubbed his chin with his hand as he looked at his wife. She leant forward in her seat, her gaze fixed on his annes ring, which she had placed on the coffee table. The ring he placed on her finger was a symbol of family pride for him. He carried the ring with him everywhere he went. Despite his efforts to convince himself that he had given it to her out of convenience and to formalise their marriage. Ridding her the chance of fleeing him. He still couldn't shake the feeling that something higher compelled him to do it, driving his primal need to claim her and place the ring on her finger that day. "Can you tell me what you're doing?" He inquired of her.
