My Turkish Heart

Chapter 47: How can I make it right?

"Drugged?! Impossible.." Izzy said in disbelief.

"Sorry Izzy, I supervised all the tests and that's what we found"

"Drugged! How? When? By who? Why??" Izzy asked hysterical.

"Calm down first. We can figure this out together" Kyle assured her.

"Why would anyone drug me?" Izzy was worked up and shaking in disbelief.

Kyle came to stand next to her bed and rubbed her back to make her calm down. Izzy was still feeling weak , now vulnerable too. She leaned against Kyle, he held her tightly and in that moment  Burak's informant took a photo from the outside of her room door. Immediately sent it to Burak as an update on Izzy's whereabouts.

In the private suite of the hospital in Turkiye, Burak finally woke up from his rest. He was confused by where he was and looked around the room to get his bearings. No one was in his room, but he heard a familiar voice in the ensuite of his room. It was Miss Aydin on a call in the bathroom, Burak tensed up knowing that she was in his room while he was out of it.

"I don't like Burak either, but for business purposes his family is the better option. The first lady promised me personally that I am her chosen future daughter in-law for their family............... Burak in a relationship? Yes, I know! I have already my own means of dealing with her. After all she's just a gold digger from South Africa, she does not fit into prestige families like we do..."

Burak got angry hearing Miss Aydin speak ill of Izzy, but he stopped himself from alerting her that he woke up. He gritted his teeth and thought that he should wait a bit to find out fully her plan then destroy it in one go. Clenching his fists tightly, he tried to be strategic in how to deal with her, as he wasn't sure if she was a real threat or just a barking dog that his mother arranged. He reached silently for his phone , as he heard the slight vibrations of it. Picking it up quickly so that Miss Aydin doesn't hear it over her call, he checked the message that came in. It was a picture of Izzy in a hospital gown and another guy holding her while she leaned on him. The picture made his blood boil, but the more he looked at it the more he noticed how weak Izzy looked.

"Izzy.. I'm sorry. All your suffering is probably related to me. I have failed to protect you and have caused you more harm. I will make things right , I promise you! Just give me some time to get all the snakes out of the pit, then I will return to you.." Burak muttered to himself.

He heard Miss Aydin approaching and he quickly deleted Izzy's picture and locked his phone. Pretending to still be sleeping he wondered what Miss Aydin had up her sleeves.

"No, the fool is still out of it. I just checked because I thought I heard him stir, but was probably my imagination" she told her friend on the call.

I will make you pay for all the suffering you are causing, Burak thought to himself.

As Miss Aydin left, he waited a while until he knew the coast was clear and then texted Yildez to come over.

"Sir! You are awake!" Yildez said excitedly.

"Shhh.. I don't want anyone to know! I need your help"

"With what sir?"

"I think there are more people involved in things going sour with Izzy and also me being stuck here. We need to lure out all the snakes so we can kill them. No one messes with the woman I love and gets away with it!"

Yildez Bey smiled brightly, impressed by Burak's behaviour to protect Izzy. For as long as he knew Burak, he never really cared much for others suffering nor for any female companionship. It was interesting to Yildez to watch Burak grow emotionally into a man that wanted to be loved and give love.

"Sir, you have changed alot. Miss Izzy is a good influence on you"

"Yeah, she is.." Burak admitted shyly.

"I'm happy you found someone to cherish sir. So what do you need my help with?"

"Right now we cannot tell who else is all in on the scheme to get Miss Aydin to marry me. I know she doesn't like me, but is just doing this as a business transaction. In the meantime they are finding ways to sabotage my relationship with Izzy and also are causing harm to Izzy back in South Africa. Until now, I couldn't figure out why all the misunderstandings between Izzy and I were piling up. When I woke up and heard Miss Aydin on the phone, I realized that they were probably all calculated actions taken to harm us. And we are walking right into their plan, but we need to find a way to counter attack. The person we placed in South Africa to tail Izzy, sent me a picture of Izzy in hospital, looking weak and leaning on another man. It made me almost lose my cool, but then I thought how is it possible that all these "misunderstandings" are happening. Hence why I need to plan ahead and also play it safe so that they don't harm Izzy again. I've asked our person to check out why Izzy was admitted to the hospital and who the man is in her ward. Right now reporting directly to me is tricky, so you handle all the communication" Burak instructed.

"Understood sir. Do we need more people to keep Miss Izzy safe? "

" For now, let's add one bodyguard, but he needs to do it from a distance. I don't want her noticing or feeling uncomfortable"

"Got it. What would you like to do about Miss Aydin?"

"Bring my personal doctor and get permission for him to take over my file in the hospital. Miss Aydin is getting tired of wasting her time in the hospital taking care of me. So I need two more days to pretend I'm still out of it, so she can show her true colours. Explain the important parts to my doctor and pay him handsomely for his discretion and help."

"I'll get to work on it sir! Anything else?"

" Hmmm.. find out what is Serkan and Emma doing at the moment. I feel like they are too quiet right now and must be planning something big. Also contact Daisy and find out how things are with her father's post surgery treatments. The rest we will just have to let play out infront of us"

"Understood sir"

"Thanks, you may now leave. Unless, my doctor asks you to come here, don't show up to report to me. I fear there are too many eyes around and I don't want them suspicious"

Yildez nodded and then left the suite swiftly.

"Izzy, I'll try and make things right...." Burak muttered, staring at her picture.
