ARAFTA - One Shots
Ates and Mercan❤️ From the Turkish series : Arafta
Twisted and Obsession
Ateş Karahan 31 years old is the feared and respected CEO of Karahan Holding-a man known for his cold discipline, ruthless decisions, and unbreakable control. Composed on the outside, burning with anger within, Ateş lives for work and responsibility. Love is a weakness he never allowed himself to feel. For him, only family matters-and he would burn the world to protect them. Mercan Yıldırım 21 years old is everything Ateş is not. Soft-spoken yet talkative, kind-hearted, and warm, she carries sunshine wherever she goes. Loved by everyone, Mercan believes in helping those in need and spreading quiet kindness. After her father, she now manages their bookstore branches across Turkey-turning pages into comfort and stories into hope. Her family is her world, and she would sacrifice anything for them. They belong to different realities. Power and innocence. Control and compassion. When fate ties them together, their worlds collide in ways neither expected. Ateş's silence clashes with Mercan's warmth. His walls meet her patience. Where he resists emotions, she embraces them without fear. This is a story of contrasts- a heartless man and a soft girl, a grumpy soul and a sunshine heart, two people bound by responsibility, learning what it means to coexist. Not all love stories begin with love. Some begin with resistance... and slowly, dangerously, turn into something more. Tropes Cold × Sunshine Grumpy CEO × Soft-hearted Girl Forced Marriage Dark Romance Obsessive × Possessive HatetoLove Age Gap Opposite Attraction Slow Burn Author's Note: This story includes a few familiar character names, but the plot, scenes, and emotions are purely from my imagination. It is not exact copy of the Arafta series and has been written entirely in my own way. Yes, the marriage in both the series and my book is forced, but the storyline, character journey, and development are little different. Do not copy my work. I hope you all will love this story. 🖤

Emin and Ilsu were never supposed to mean anything to each other. They met through a project-just two actors cast as the leads, brought together by a script that was never meant to last forever. But somewhere between rehearsals, shared glances, and late-night conversations, something real begins to form. Emin doesn't believe in breaking his own rules. Ilsu doesn't believe in temporary love. And yet, both of them find themselves holding onto something they were never meant to keep. So they tell themselves it's nothing. Just for now.
