I've been awake the whole night.... and reliving the moments of our life together! It's a bit surreal and déjà vu, being in jail, yet again, and I'm pretty sure my girl is trying to save me from it all!
..
Wow, Fabri is mad as hell that the perfume didn't work! Now I wonder what happened? Her perfume is amazing.... that's why he's been after it, so why didn't it work? Was it sabotaged? Was it the wrong formula? Is she really in trouble for signing a contract and giving him the wrong details? As much as I'd hate for him to have that perfume, I'd hate it even more if Sanem is held responsible! There's nothing worth in the world more than her safety, health, happiness and us being together!!!
..
Night creeps along and morning comes later than expected and I'm waiting for visits from Metin, Sanem, family and friends.
..
A few hours have gone by and I'm still waiting but no news or visits.... from anyone! I know inherently that something is wrong but I also have faith in my family and my love.... I'm sure she and others have good reason to not be here!
..
There's a lot of activity in the holding area.... but none of it is my family and friends and I've skipped two meals already, breakfast & lunch! I am really low on mental energy.... and it dawns on me that I may be stuck here longer than I planned or expected. But hey, better me than her, I suppose!
As time drags on, I contemplate all the possibilities of how this can go wrong... more than it already has at the moment! What if my confession stands? I did blurt out with counsel present that I did it... so what is the punishment like? How long will I be gone? How will we survive, and me specifically, without her? Are we always fated to be at odds with time? I rue the day that I met Fabri... and then every other time he successfully baited me into his vicious net of lies and deceit!
..
I can't even imagine, remotely in the vicinity, the possibility of Sanem being in jail or confined! It'll crush her soul and break her... and my sweet, innocent, angelic girl will never be the same again! And what will I do if that happens? I'll set the world on fire before that'll ever happen, no matter the consequences..... I'll protect her from all things natural and unnatural! Yet again, I realize that I was born for this... to be her protector and guardian angel, ditto what she is to my spirit and soul!
..
Around late afternoon, Metin comes in to see me, he's beaming.... so I know it's good news! He gives me a can of Red Bull and asks me to drink up... hmmm.... how does he know?! He tells me it'll be a few minutes before I'll be released, he waits with me until the paperwork is complete and asks me not to worry! I ask him where Sanem is, what is happening and he starts to give me details.
..
Sanem went home, of course, but didn't get a wink of sleep. Similar to when she rescued me when I was accused of plagiarism, she had collected all of our trusted troops : Ayhan, Ceycey, Osman, Leyla, Metin and his investigators at home. Everyone then spent a night and day going over all of the details of the case; the investigators were able to find new evidence that would break the case. My brilliant wife figured out a way to turn and reverse the charges on Fabri!
Metin asked me if I remembered when someone had broken into her parents' home and scared Mevkibe Hanim. Of course, it was on our magical date night at the mountain hut.... when we were interrupted by Emre because her family was looking for her.
Apparently that was not a random incident. When caught for different theft, a thief has been trying to get a deal with the police saying that he could offer a bigger crime for a lighter sentence. Metin found him; the thief told him that an Italian businessman had paid him 50k liras to steal from a house in the mahalle. Specifically, he wanted him to steal from the perfume cabinet in one of the rooms and had given him details of who will be in the house, when to go, and most importantly, drawn him a floor plan in his own hands! In short, the robbery was unsuccessful as he was interrupted during the crime and that's why Fabri had to pursue other methods to get her perfume!
..
Metin, Sanem and everyone had successfully turned the case on Fabri. There was also the photographic evidence that she left abruptly on her birthday owing to the dress incident, and with testimonies of colleagues, his harassment of Sanem was fully corroborated. Apart from that, Aylin was somehow caught in the middle of it, for corporate espionage, and her being Fabri's partner added more gravitas to the reverse charges.
Now Metin was helping file charges against Fabri for attempting to steal a secret recipe and corporate espionage with Aylin. To make matters even better, Aylin turned state's witness and gave up the whole story on Fabri and his machinations!
WOW.... a lot has happened over the last few hours!! I see Sanem's signature all over it and her determination to rescue me! My heart, mind, spirit and soul glows with such pride and joy.... knowing that she's all mine and mine only!
..
I've been released from jail with an apology from the police commissioner himself who came to speak to me. Metin came through for me.... big time, I'll make it up to him as I owe him for the rest of my life!
..
My singular purpose is to get home to her.... and I'm a bit surprised she didn't come to get me! Metin tells me she was finishing up stuff at home, taking care of our friends and family as they've all had a long few hours.... and even though she desperately wanted to, she felt responsible to send them off properly! My girl, she knows what's best for everyone!
..
Metin drops me off at the door, we hug each other, and I thank him profusely for his help. He slaps my back, hard, and says, I can make it up to him with scotch and a home-cooked meal! Deal, done, name the date I tell him!
..
I walk into a very quiet house. She didn't open the door for me either.... and the front door is unlocked!
"Sanem" I call out to her..... eager to hold her and to be held by her! No answer. "SANEM..." I call out even louder and still no response. I make a full pass of our home and she's nowhere to be found! I call her phone and I hear it ringing inside the house. I follow the ringtones to the kitchen. My heart is racing at double speed now.... and I get that instinctive feeling that something is terribly and horribly wrong!
I see a handwritten note on the island and a map with an x-marked spot!
"You know who I am... I have her, come alone or she's dead" !!!
That fucker Fabri, I'm going to kill him!
