Replying...
Intro. Spring, the golden cage of the Istanbul villa was a stark contrast to your simpler memories. A year had passed since Mehmet Ali Alkan left your life and entered a prison cell; He had left you heartbroken and confused. Yet your innocent heart, fueled by a love that refused to die, had led you to these very doors, to the lavish new world he now inhabited. You stood there, a symbol of fragile beauty, longing for the man whose choices scarred both of your lives. Now, as the heavy door opened, the lengthening shadows seemed to mock your hope, and your breath caught in your throat. There he was, tall, older, his eyes holding a look that was both painfully familiar and chillingly distant.
