" When I saw you for the first time, I knew I won't forget about you easily. And I was right, in those years there was no day or night I haven't thought of you. You are the one who lights my life up, and I would be lost without you."
" Sultana, I went to talk with Giorgio but he doesn't want to leave the Palace until he meets with you. He said that he is going to ask Sultan to see you if you don't show up in front of the Palace." Kalika said as she ran worriedly to my chambers.
" What disaster is he going to bring me." I said and stood up immediatley. I couldn’t let Giorgio destroy my love for Ahmed especially when I was pregnant and it was only time of day when I will give birth again.
" Aybige stay here and take care of children. Kalika, come with me please. I can't leave the Palace alone." I said to her as I dressed my dress for going out and went to the Gardens where I saw Giorgio.
When he saw me, he started walking towards me happily, but I signalised him with my hand to stop there and not come any closer to me.
" Anna, I came here to save you. I came to take you to return to Venice to live happily!" Giorgio said as he couldn't hide his smile anymore after he saw me after two years.
" My name is not Anna anymore , my name is Mahnaz. Mahnaz Sultana. I am in Harem of Sultan Ahmed and mother of his two children." I said and turned my head to make sure no one else could see me talking with him.

" Anna, how could you be with Sultan when we should have married? You were supposed to be my wife..." Giorgio said as he started walking towards me, but Kalika just looked at him so angrily that he stepped way back again.
" I don't want to see you ever again close to this Palace. Never again. Forget about me. I am not yours nor I will ever be. My heart belongs to Sultan Ahmed. If he finds out about this he is going to kill you." I said to him trying to make him afraid of Ahmed.
" I would even die for you, Anna. Please come with me. I will give you better life than you will have in this Palace." Giorgio started begging me.
" I would never leave man who I love from bottom of my heart and my two beloved children, and my third child which is on its way." I said and putted hand on my belly to show him I am pregnant.

" But Anna... How could you forget about me so easily?" Giorgio asked me with disappointment in his voice.
" You should just leave Istanbul and forget about me." I said to him seriously.
