The residence in Turkey is wrapped in a heavy, suffocating silence as the Master returns. Leyla stands rigid in the hall, her black satin dress a stark contrast to her marble-smooth face. At the impossibly long dining table that feels like a ravine, she sits alone at the southern end. With a graceful, defiant motion, she pours crimson wine into a crystal glass, shattering Kaan’s ironclad rule. Candlelight flickers, but offers no warmth. Kaan steps in, his black suit impeccably tailored, his gaze chilling. He watches Leyla sip the wine, a restrained fury darkening behind his icy mask, his possessive surveillance of his contract wife tightening like a vise.
