"Tolga, you're okay. Breathe."

Tolga Mendi splashed water on his face as he looked at the mirror, the faucet still running. He looked fine, but he felt horrible inside. He was having nightmares again. Nightmares about his parents' killer.

He tried to control his breathing just as his grandmother used to tell him. He could still remember that night. The night his parents died.

"Mom? Dad?"

13 year old Tolga asked when he heard shouting from the living room. It was 3 o'clock in the morning, and he heard screaming in the living room. Tolga felt uneasy and slowly got up from his bed, opening his bedroom door as quiet as possible.

The hallway was dark and quiet, with only low lights that were glued to the walls, as his source of light.

A thud in the floor.

Then, a dragging of a chair.

The piano.

A song. Requiem by Mozart. His father's favorite piece.

Someone was playing the piano.

Sounds that indicated someone was in the living room. One foot before the other, Tolga made his way to the living room and saw a gut-wrenching scene.

Tolga's eyes widened as he saw his parents lie dead on the floor, with their throats slit, and they were bathing in their own blood. The moon was shining over the living room, it's only source of light. Tolga turned his gaze by the window, where a silhouette of a man was playing the piano. He could not see his face. The man was playing the piano perfectly, he seemed like a professional.

"Di-did you kill my parents?" Tolga shouted from where he was.

The man stood up, took his gun, and pointed it at Tolga.

BANG!

"Mr. Tolga, we've arrived in Istanbul."

One of the flight attendants told Tolga. He snapped out of his thoughts as he touched his head, right where the bullet was. He was lucky to have made it out alive.

Tolga composed himself, washing his face once more, and fixed his suit and tie. Tolga got out of his private jet, the words, "Mendi Group of Companies" written on the airplane's body. Tolga is an extremely high profile billionaire and entrepreneur and is the owner of Turkey's largest chain of 5 star hotel and resorts, an energy company, transportation company, trading company, real estate company, advertising company, technology company, and owns one of the most prestigious universities in Istanbul, Mendi University, all under one parent company, the Mendi Group. Tolga inherited it all off from his parents, and became the president and chairman of Mendi Group when he was eighteen.

Tolga was greeted by the employees of Mendi Group who were all lined up outside his private jet.

"Welcome back to Istanbul, Mr. Tolga," they all said in unison.

Tolga grinned and took his sunglasses off, the wind blowing through his hair.

"It's good to be back," he said, smiling. "Adalet."

"Yes, Mr. Tolga!" Adalet Tumer, Tolga's assistant, came out from the sea of employees, running to Tolga.

"Is my car ready, Adalet? I have things to do at the hotel," Tolga said.

"Yes, Mr. Tolga. Your car and your driver is all ready to take you to the hotel," Adalet said, nervously. "Your grandmother is waiting there for you too."
