An unforgettable night's vacation. SEYFER

~ Chapter 19 ~

The night at Paolo's villa seemed to be taking longer than everyone had expected.  The more time passed, the more mysteries and tensions emerged.  Those who had embarked on this journey for a relaxing vacation were now plunged into a tangled web of hidden emotions and secrets.

Seyran, upon returning inside, felt a distinct change in the energy of the room.  The previous games had left visible consequences.  Everyone's eyes looked busy, as if they were waiting for something that wasn't coming.  An invisible sense of uncertainty prevailed.  Any simple conversation now sounded like a heavy crash, and the silence that often followed the words was even heavier.

Seyran looked at Ferit, who was a little further in the room.  He seemed calm on the surface, but she already knew him well and knew he was worried.  An uneasy feeling was spreading between the two of them.  They had gone through many deep conversations and many unclear feelings, but for the first time, they were facing a darker reality.  Despite the closeness they had felt, something still stood between them, like an invisible wall that was preventing them from fully connecting their souls with each other.

Seyran took a deep breath and approached Ferit.  "It seems like we are all trapped in this place.  Nothing is simpler, everything is more confused.”

Ferit sighed and took her hand.  "Maybe it's because we all have something to hide.  And I feel like this night is bringing all those secrets to light, in the most uncomfortable way possible."

They were silent for a moment, taking in the intensity of what was happening around them.  But instead of talking about what each of them felt, they decided not to touch the subject for now.  It was too early, too uncertain to deal with all the things that would probably surface.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the villa, Suna was following Carlo's footsteps.  Their meeting in the corridor had made him feel a deep excitement.  Something was wrong, and she knew Carlo was hiding something important.  She decided to follow him behind, hoping to find out more about what was really going on.

Carlo entered one of the farthest rooms of the villa, a room that looked abandoned and neglected.  Suna followed closely, taking care not to reveal her presence.  She stood behind the door, listening in silence.

Carlo's voice was low and charged with emotion.  "I can't tell them.  I'm not sure how they will react.  They don't have to know…”

Suna tried to understand more of the conversation, but he was talking alone.  Her heart began to beat faster.  Whoever Carlo was referring to clearly had something to do with what was going on this strange night.  For the first time, she felt a strong sense of dread that wasn't just of the situation, but of what she might learn.

After a few minutes, Carlo got up and started to leave the room.  Suna hurried away from the door, hiding behind a narrow end of the corridor.  As he walked by, she held her breath.  As soon as he was out of sight, she entered the room where he had been.

The room was cold and dark, but a small window let some moonlight in.  Suna looked around and noticed a small folder on the table left behind.  She slowly approached and opened it.  Inside were some old papers and carefully kept photographs.

Her heart beat faster when she saw a small picture.  It was an old photo of Paolo and some other people she didn't know.  In the background was an old cottage, probably owned by him.  But what shocked him the most was another photograph.  It was a photo of Carlo, a few years ago, with a group of people who looked like the same people from the first photo.

Suna began to read one of the letters kept in the file.  It was a handwritten letter that mentioned some names she didn't recognize.  "I'm sorry for what's about to happen," part of the letter read.  "I no longer have control over what I have started.  Something bigger is coming.”

Suna hurriedly closed the file and caught her breath.  Whatever Carlo and Paolo were planning, it was much darker than she had imagined.  And now, she was involved in this mystery without realizing how.

She left the room in silence and returned to the main part of the villa, feeling the weight of the discoveries she had just made.  She knew she could no longer remain silent.  He had to tell others about what he had discovered.  But would it be too late?

Later that night, as everyone gathered for a last drink, the atmosphere was heavy.  Ferit noticed that Suna was acting strange.  She looked worried and was trying not to attract too much attention.  Seyran noticed as well and beckoned her sister over.

"Suna, what's going on?"  Seyran asked, taking her hand.  “I've never seen you so worried before.”

Suna looked around, making sure no one else was listening.  "I discovered something," she told him softly.  "Something that is not right.  Carlo and Paolo… are not what they seem.”

Ferit and Seyran exchanged a concerned look.  "What have you discovered?"  asked Ferit, moving closer to him.

Suna stood up slowly, fear in her voice.  “I'm still not sure what exactly is going on, but something dark is lurking here.  And I think Carlo and Paolo are involved in something that we don't understand yet."

Her revelations raised a great sense of uncertainty and fear in Ferit and Seyrani.  They realized that this night was no longer a game.  Everything happening around them was part of a much bigger scheme, and now, more than ever, they were involved in a mystery that could lead them into the dangerous unknown.

They knew that now they had to proceed with caution.  Everything one of them did could have huge consequences.
