The heavy iron door groans open, revealing Kadir Demir, a man forged in the fires of a thousand-year feud, standing in the sterile gray light of his prison cell. At thirty-eight, with only a week remaining of his twenty-year sentence for killing the Koç patriarch, he is surrounded by his family: his mother Nazlı, his nephews Can and Emre, his sister-in-law Zeynep, and Elif, the woman who is his wife in name only. The air hangs thick with secrets and the strain of polite smiles. Kadir embraces each of them, his touch lingering longest on Elif, whispering ‘my wife’ as his dark, predatory eyes sweep the room. When the others depart, leaving the couple alone, the atmosphere curdles from familial warmth into a tense, intimate silence.
