Story title: Everything I wanted

I had a dream, I got everything I wanted....

Or at least that was what Alara assumed. In reality her dreams were nightmares and her nightmares her reality.

If a dream was a wish that came deep within from the heart then her heart was a fool. Foolish to believe she'd get anything she wanted, Foolish to hope she'd receive an ounce of the love she'd given, Foolish to think the fairytale was even true, it was just an illusion created to taunt her, mock her fragile heart and big dreams.

Her spring was over and winter had officially arrived, a merciless winter with just cold darkness and bitter winds. Harsh cold snow to drown and kill her spring roses.

The winter came in the form of her husband and lover suleiman, her Şehzade turned Sultan. He'd come to her chambers the very night they arrived in the capital place.

She should have known something was wrong when he had refused to travel with her, she should have known he was pulling away the second his concubine gave him a son and she hadn't no matter how hard she tried.

Currently she was in her cream coloured night gown with her dark hair loose and cascading down her back. Suleiman was standing before her dressed in his fine dark blue kaftan suit as he looked at her in an emotionless manner.

Alara was terrified, terrified of what he'd say or do. They stood in empty silence for a few moments then Suleiman spoke, his voice heavy yet final

"I hope you understand I don't do this to hurt you but-"

Alara cut him off immediately as she said desperately, desperately trying to save her crumbling relationship.

"My sultan, I understand your worry but please I beg of you.....if you grant me another chance I can give you an army of son and-"

Suleiman cut her off by raising his ringed hand and said more forcefully

"It's been years, years since you've been saying this yet none of your words have come true! My only son is from a concubine not you. Alara I mean this in the most gentle way but I do not think a son will ever come from our union, it's time to wake up and see reality."

A single tear fell from her hazel eyes and landed on the smooth skin of her cheek, more would follow like a waterfall of pain and heartbreak. She was loosing her fairytale and a nightmare was taking it's place.

Empty sobs followed as he continued to talk, she continued to cry as he took her in his arms and stroked her hair in an attempt to sooth her pain yrt it just flamed the sadness like oil and fire.

She could only think of one thing as her tears fell and cries of agony left her lips

Will this be the end of us?......will this be her nightmares coming true.....

She didn't even realise she voiced her fears until she heard her own broken voice trembling with unshed tears.

" please, please don't leave me, please don't turn your back on us suleiman."

Suleiman spoke soothingly as he promised that he was still with her and still loved her yet the words didn't calm her aching heart or paranoia.

Deep down she knew another woman will be coming, and stealing her suleiman from her....her time was limited
