"But I would rather feel the sting Than never to have felt a thing I'll always know you were the one To rip me from the ground"

Can 'Albatross' Divit, current Olympic Gold medalist in high board diving, suddenly disappears from his seemingly extravagant and decadent playboy lifestyle of late night partying, after a very public disagreement with a young attractive female journalist. He's branded as arrogant and sexiest by the media, loses his lucrative sponsorship deals, and finds his reputation in tatters. A year later, he returns, looking fitter and sharper than ever, vowing to re-claim his life, stand up to his accusers and defend his Olympic title. Plus there's the the small matter of revenge against the beautiful naive young woman who started the whole chain of events, that changed his life overnight. However, he hadn't factored in the surprise secret that she had been keeping that would stop him in his tracks.

Um forasteiro, uma nativa e uma pequena ilha que é palco para uma veloz atração e ardente paixão. Sanem Aydin cresceu e se criou na pequena ilha Ahmet, próxima a cidade turística Fethiye. Vivendo sozinha em sua pequena casa com um enorme jardim e uma variada horta, após deixar um passado um tanto traumático e silencioso para trás, ela agora é finalmente feliz. É nessa ilha que o misterioso Can Divit aporta depois de ficar alguns meses no mar. Faz anos que vive como um lobo solitário pelo mundo, sem destino. A intenção é conseguir alguns suprimentos por ali, antes de voltar ao mar aberto em direção ao próximo destino. Eles têm muito em comum, ambos possuem um passado um tanto sombrio e mágoas difíceis de superar. Mas na mesma medida, são diferentes. Ela é luz, ele é sombra. Ela sempre enxerga o lado bom das coisas, ele não tem essa convicção. Ela é capaz de confiar cegamente, ele tem sempre um pé atrás. Será que podem ensinar sobre a vida um ao outro? O inesperado encontro acontece assim que Can pisa em terra firme e a vê caminhando pelo porto, sorridente. O choque é imediato, assim como a atração que germina e incendeia de ambas as partes no mesmo instante em que os olhares se cruzam. A estadia de Can na ilha Ahmet deveria ser de apenas alguns dias, mas o coração agora bate pedindo que fique para sempre. Ele seria capaz?

These are short stories I've written of certain Can and Sanem scenes that I wished had gone differently (from episode 43 and onward). They are written from my point of view, and my ideas of what should have been said between our two lovers when they were in that moment. All situations are entirely fictional and created exclusively from my vivid imagination. Hope you enjoy and please don't forget to leave comments and/or feedback. I'd love to hear all of them!

My "happy path" version... Bear with me through some of the chapters as I don't always deviate too much from the show. Maybe half way through the 3rd part is where I start to diverge, then I go back & forth to following the show pretty closely, then diverging again. I really liked some of the scenes/ writing on the show, so kept a lot of that as is, and just tried to 'fix' stuff I didn't like as much. :)

Mature Novel - Themes of Violence, Culture Clash, Sex etc Novel written in English, despite some Turkish words. Novel based in Istanbul, Turkey. "Let me explain it like this. She has this never ending passion. I mean, it's the kind of passion I've never seen in my life, not only in a woman, but in anybody at all. The passion for life, flowers, literature, the stars, the sea, for Galapagos. She's so different from everybody. She thinks so differently. I can't figure her out, I'm curious about her. I never get tired with her. I want her to be with me all the time. I want to be only with her. That's how it is." - Can Divit "Once you told me never to give up on my writing and dreams. You are the only one in my dreams. Now I can talk to you only by writing. I wrote down everything that I lived through since day one and if you read it one day, you'll understand everything. It was me telling you lies. It was me who gave the pictures you took and it was me that nearly caused you to lose your photography license. The spy you were looking for from day one was me. I know you'll never forgive me; especially after reading this letter. But I want you to remember me as being honest to you, even if it's too late. And despite all of my lies, I want you to believe in one true thing: All my feelings I felt for you were real. Even with all of those lies, Sanem who was full of love was real. Every single moment I spent with you was worth my entire life. I loved you very much, Can Divit. I love you a lot. I will always love you." - Sanem Aydin.
