She stepped out on the balcony as soon as he left, the view was beautiful and she could see the giant palaces of the former dictators in the background, it was grand, as ugly as their story was.

Sanem sat in the lounge and ate a couple of small sandwiches and some fruits. She realised there was a pool on the fourth floor and went down to swim for an hour. It was almost 10pm by the time she returned to her suite; she knew he would be a while. She looked at the window again and decided to wander the city a bit more, she was well travelled and knew she could work her way around the streets. She dressed in camel pants, black sweater, black jacket and sport shoes. No one was in the hallway when she hopped into the elevator, she made it downstairs and into a cab waiting in front of the hotel. She knew she shouldn't have left but she also was sure Mo or another one of Can's gorillas would have stopped her if she had mentioned anything.

She was dropped off by the larger palace, it was lighted and quite a few tourists were walking around, taking pictures and approaching the building. Sanem took some pictures herself and paid for a ticket to go up a few floors and admire the second palace from up close. By the time, she hailed a taxi to return, the streets were fairly quiet and she was glad to be back in the safety of the hotel. She had barely exited the car that a man dressed in black caught her arm and directed her into the lift, almost carrying her. Within seconds, she was in her room, door locked without any explanation. She figured they all needed to calm down. She showered and changed to plain white cotton pyjama. She was brushing her hair and walking out of the bathroom when she found Can sitting in the sofa, she jolted and dropped her hairbrush.

S: ''God! Can! You scared me!''

C: ''scared you?'' he snorted. She understood immediately he wasn't happy with her little tour. She folded her arms, confident in herself.

S: ''Can, if this is about me going out, I don't need to be patronised, I am free to go wherever I want.''

C: ''true.'' He simply answered.

S: ''well then what? I should have taken one of your men along, no one was out there when I left!'' he knew that and his entire crew would pay for this.

C: ''we literally talked about security this afternoon Sanem?''

S: ''no one knows me here... or anywhere as a matter of fact...''

He stood and approached her, he needed to make her understand the risks that came along with being in his life but he didn't want her to be so scared that she would leave, although he doubted she would give up that easily.

C: ''I just need you to trust me Sanem and keep my team in the loop.''

S: ''they would have told me to stay in my room!'' she answered, sounding like an upset child.

C: ''they would have taken you there, escorted'' he lied.

S: ''escorted?'' she asked with a sarcastic look.
