Early Bird (Erkençi Kus)(Part 1)

69. I promise I will fix this

Sanem stares at Emre in shock. After everything he just told her outside, he has been behind this the entire time. He's still lying...pretending to suddenly care about his brother...

"Get out of there, come on," Emre says and drags Hilmi out by the arm.

"What?" Hilmi asks in confusion.

"Stand here." Emre roughly pushes Hilmi into his living room.

"Mr Emre," Sanem rushes after them, putting her backpack on the table. "Please tell me you're joking, what do you mean he works for you?" Emre looks at her. "Did you hire this guy?" Sanem looks from Hilmi to Emre. "Why come here then to find him if you know him? And why let me find him?"

"He wasn't supposed to still be here, I gave him money to leave the country, but he didn't go did he?" Emre looks at Hilmi, sneering, "We'll talk about this later."

Hilmi just looks at him, frowning.

"I can't believe this," Sanem gasps, "after you just...How could you do this? What kind of person are you? You smile and act like you care about him right to his face without blinking! I don't understand how one person can be this deceitful! How could you?!" Sanem's chest heaves from her anger coming up, her ears burning.

"I'm not explaining anything to you Sanem."

"Knowing everything that I know, how am I going to look Mr Can in the eye after today? How will you? Knowing what you've done?" Sanem shakes her head, tears brimming.

Hilmi stands next to Sanem looking down at the carpet, guilt blooming in his stomach.

"He's your brother, and he's destroyed because of this. Do you even know how upset he really is? Do you care? How can you be this calm and collected?"

Emre wishes he could tell her he was anything but. His entire core has been shaken by the fact that he knew Aylin had something to do with this now even after she convinced him she didn't. Like a fool, he believed it and he was more angry at himself for falling for her lies again and even proposing. He was planning on dealing with this himself - if any of it got round to him, he was ruined. He wasn't as heartless as Sanem thought but he had to make sure his family stayed none the wiser. And Hilmi looked like someone who would talk.

"Get out of here!" Emre grabs Hilmi's arm. "Go!"

"No!" Sanem stands between them and seperates them. "No one is going anywhere. You have to explain everything to me," Sanem looks at Hilmi and then Emre. "Why did you do this to Mr Can? You're a dirty man Emre Divit! You can't lie your way out! Not today! Tell me why!"

"Sanem, I'll tell you this again, I'm not explaining anything to you." Emre takes her arm and turns her to the door. "It's time for you to leave."

"I won't!" She yanks her arm away, glaring at him. "I said, tell me why, or I'm telling Mr Can what a slimy brother he really has. I mean it, Mr Emre, I'll tell him everything."

Emre looks at her intently and then he nods. "And are you going to tell him about your part in all of this? Huh? How you broke into his house like a thief to steal information. How you brought me the folder with his photos. Tell me, Sanem, are you going to tell him that?" Sanem keeps quiet, her eyes blazing into him. "I didn't think so," he scoffs.

Sanem takes a step towards him. "You are one of the most despicable people I have ever encountered in my life... If you think I won't tell Mr Can you're wrong."

The door slams then and Can walks in, having heard the last part of Sanem's sentence only. Hilmi's eyes widen as he looks at him. Emre and Sanem turn to Can, staring at them and frowning.
