Seekingfreedom Stories

Semiha Kobal's life has never been her own. Sheltered behind high walls and her parents' suffocating rules, the sweet yet spirited young woman has been treated more as a possession than a daughter. Always watched, always guarded, she has learned to smile through her loneliness. When Semiha secretly falls for Ibrahim Tuzun, a gentle commoner who awakens her heart, she dares to dream of freedom. But her family has other plans-plans sealed with the name of Kasim Baydar, heir to one of the most powerful dynasties in Istanbul. Wealthy, arrogant, and dangerously mysterious, Kasim is everything her parents desire for her, and everything she fears. On their wedding night, Kasim sets a chilling rule: Semiha must never enter his study, never touch his things, and never question his secrets. Should she disobey, their marriage will be over. But the shadows that linger around him whisper of more than arrogance-they speak of hidden sins, forbidden power, and a truth that could destroy them both. As Semiha is drawn deeper into the Baydar household, she begins to sense that everyone wears a mask. Friends and enemies blur together, her bodyguard becomes an uncertain ally, and even her own family's loyalty twists into betrayal. Kasim's secret may not only unravel her marriage-it may consume her entire world. Caught between a forbidden love she cannot claim and a husband whose darkness both terrifies and tempts her, Semiha must tread carefully. One wrong move could turn passion into ruin, and trust into the deadliest mistake of all. In a family where lies are currency and betrayal is blood-deep, Semiha is about to discover that love is the most dangerous secret of all. Will she escape the abyss-or be swallowed whole by it?
