Description in chap. 1

This story is about fate and how fate brought Can and Sanem together. This story will differ slightly from EK, maybe some changes in characters and some new ones. I am a true lover of Can and Sanem and my writing will always lead to the two of them being together..

This is a continuation of " If Only....I Could Forgive Myself . Can brings Sanem home from Chania to begin their fairy tale life together. They have forgiven each other and themselves, but others are destined to interfere and try to take back what was once theirs.

She had returned to him, back to his small cottage on the sea. She finally gave in to her heart and listened. She loved him and that was that, so here she was, ready to accept it all. Would she give up her book and stay here, just them loving each other. Or would circumstances of life make them return to Istanbul and except their responsibilities together.

Sanem had gone through a terrible experience at the hands of her ex boyfriend Taner. Her wedding to Can was just hours away, but the fear of what had happened to her was still looming inside her. She loved Can with her heart and soul and she knew he would never hurt her. He was her safe place, the place where she hoped she could forget about all those bad things.....She was safe in his arms of love.

Sanem is looking for a job to help pay for her wedding. She has a fiancé and she doesn't need the attention from another man, especially a spoiled, rich man. But maybe this man is different, he sure makes her feel different. Could it be the real thing....

A story about how so many people underestimated Sanem, because of her upbringing, even Can. Just because a person is shy, respectful, and not pushy, this should not be evaluated as not smart and looked down on! I wanted Can to show his smarts, and realize his attitude with all the women, the show threw in front of Sanem. I did not like Can's arrogance with the women. As you will be able to tell, I did not like any of them at all, especially Polen. A lot of the time, it was just degrading, how everyone treated the character Sanem. I wanted Sanem and Can to be in love, but equal. I also, felt like Huma, was just evil, but why? She was the mother of two adult men, why be so mean? So I made her a little different, she still thinks she is better, but not! I also, did not like the way Sanem's parent's went from friendly to not, then forgave Leyla and Emre overnight, but never ever understood Sanem and Can. I am not a writer, have no connection with the actors, production staff, or anyone else with Erkenci Kus. I am just a fan. Any mistakes, misspellings, long boring chapters or story are all on me. Thank you for your patience and for reading.

This is my version of what would happen after episode 39. Can's unwillingness to fight for her and the reveal of what a mother is capable of in the name of a demented love. How does one carry on and live for themselves. Sanem has endured pain not known by many and still remains the The Phoenix.
