Topkapi
"Hunkarim, what will you do about Namik Pasha now?" Osman Pasha asked Sultan Suleiman after he showed him the letter Fahriye saw a hour ago. Suleiman couldn't believe with his eyes what he has read there. He knew himself alone he destroyed his sister's life but keeping her closer to the traitor and still haven't done anything about it.

"He will get beheaded," Suleiman said as he was really angry on Namik and there was nothing that could make him let him live one more day after he learnt everything.

"Now it's not about his traitor acts in Bosnia, but the way he behaved to Fahriye. I might have not many proofs for his political traitorous acts, but after I saw what he was doing to her for the whole time, I will punish him based on that," Suleiman said as he was nervously and angrily walking around the chambers.

"Maybe Osman Pasha you shouldn't have showed it to Fahriye Sultana, this way she is really hurt about it and she won't be able to recover from this shock," Malkocoglu said to Osman interrupting Suleiman. Malkocoglu didn't like when he saw how Osman is actually really close to Fahriye and seemed it is inappropriate for an Ottoman vizier to be this close with Ottoman Sultana about who's husband is traitor and is only investigating about him.

From the first moment it was able to see that Osman and Malkocoglu don't get along really well. Before coming to Topkapi, Osman said to Malkocoglu how he doesn't want him to follow and spy on Fahriye while he speaks to her, which made Malkocoglu angry because he claims he is only doing what Sultan ordered him.

"Sultana should know what happened for real, she herself alone wanted to read it even though I said to her," Osman said trying to defend himself because he didn't want Fahriye to live in lies, but Malkocoglu always had something to add in his sentences.

"I understand that Pasha, but it's inappropriate your closeness with Sultana. You shouldn't use your position to get closer to her because that's what Namik Pasha has also done to claim the higher position," Malkocoglu said and at that moment Suleiman angrily looked at Malkocoglu, and then at Osman.

"Pashas, stop. You won't fight in my presence when we have to decide what will we do now with Namik. He shouldn't know we know for this because he will run away. You need to bring him here when I will tell to him everything that is going on," Suleiman ordered and Malkocoglu was appointed for this duty as Namik thought Malkocoglu is innocent as has nothing related to his incident.

Malkocoglu left Suleiman's chambers when Osman stayed there inside alone with Suleiman. Suleiman hasn't been this furious in a very long time, and this was because now he knew he has done big mistake by knowing how Namik is dangerous but still sending Fahriye there.

"Pasha, I didn't say a lot about Malkocoglu's words, but he is right. You can't be close to my sister who is Sultana and is married. I know this was only for the investigation, but you shouldn't gain any emotions because she is forbidden to you," Suleiman said seriously to Osman who looked embarrassed down at the floor.

Osman knew Fahriye is forbidden to him, and only thing he wanted to is to he happy with her someday. He didn't even insist on their marriage, he only wanted to look Fahriye being happy because he loved her. He hoped that one day when Namik is murdered, he would get the chance to propose Fahriye, but now after Suleiman's words he knew he didn't find him suitable to be his sister's husband.

Twenty minutes have passed in which Suleiman was just walking around the chambers being nervous about the decision he will make. He knew he didn't find all proofs of his traitorous acts in Bosnia which bothered him, he would kill Namik not knowing all of his sins he commited.

Malkocoglu came inside with Namik who had no idea what would happen. He came inside hoping Sultan would want to consult with him about some state questions or would even promote him, because that was only thing he was thinking about. He came inside and bowed to Suleiman being confused why Osman is there and why Malkocoglu had bring him here.

"Your Majesty, I didn't except you would call me," Namik said as he still didn't understand in what kind of danger he is.

"I did, I wanted to congratulate you for getting a new child," Suleiman said sarcastically when his fake smile immediately turned to angry.

"Fahriye Sultan is pregnant?" Namik asked him as he raised his head and pretend to be shocked because he knew there is no possibility for her to be pregnant as they haven't slept for very long time.

"I am talking about your lover, Aylin. This will be your sixth child, did I count good?" Suleiman asked Namik as he couldn't be neither relaxed nor furious because he needed to get the truth from Namik.

"I don't understand what you are talking about," Namik said raising his head once again and looking at Suleiman like he had no shame. He really tried to do his best and make sure Suleiman believes him, because Namik was really good in manipulation as he did it for his whole life to everyone surrounding him.

"Namik Pasha, we know everything. You have nothing to hide in front of me because this is the last day of your life. You will be punished by beheading today because of everything you have done to Fahriye," Suleiman yelled on him and Namik still continued to act like nothing happened knowing this way he would make Suleiman feel guilty later and asking himself was he right to kill him.

"I have done nothing, but the one who did is my wife Fahriye. You should maybe ask her and this traitor Osman Pasha how they are lovers and she is cheating on me. You shouldn't blame me, but blame her," Namik said seriously looking at Osman with anger. Suleiman took a deep breath and looked at Osman once again, but then continued to look at Namik.

Osman was in real danger now because he has done nothing wrong expect for what he had feelings for Fahriye, but he hasn't done anything to her nor had any kind of relationship with her. But what Malkocoglu has said earlier and now Namik could make Suleiman think he and Fahriye are actually guilty of this.

"Look at those letters, you can't lie you wrote them because it's your signature here," Suleiman said and gave the letters to Namik who still wouldn't accept that he is the one to be blamed.

"The letters are mine, Hunkarim. I am man who always says the truth so those letters are also all the truth. I did not chose to marry Fahriye Sultana but you chosed it instead of both of us. I showed her love not to make her sad, but it was impossible for me to love her. I already loved another woman who I wanted to marry many years ago before Fahriye came, but what could I have done when Ottoman Sultan wanted to marry me for his sister? There was no way not to accept it," Namik said as this time he has raised his tone on Suleiman who stayed surprised by his words.

"If I couldn't get any happiness of her I could at least get the promoted to the titles I deserve. My family since my grandfather worked for the Ottomans and we never got rewarded, you thought sending your sister would be a blessing to us. You didn't put us your faithful servants on high positions but rather you put slaves like Ibrahim Pasha or Osman Pasha," Namik said looking at Osman angrily once again when Suleiman raised his hand to shut up.

"Is there anything else you want to say before you die?" Suleiman asked him seriously. He didn't have a lot of time and manipulative behaviour by Namik made him worried if he did the right decision or did Fahriye tell everything in her favour just to divorce and be with Osman.

"I want to tell you that you will kill a man who wasn't guilty, my only sin is that I couldn't love your sister and you wanted to force me to do," Namik yelled on him when guards took his arms.

"And there is nothing about your traitor acts in Bosnia how you used slaves to work for you without paying them? How you later sent them into the janissaries wanting them to serve you not me and telling you all state secrets, also working only by your way and your only goal was to force them to get against my viziers so the highest title would be free and open for you," Suleiman yelled on him what he knew based on all the facts Osman has found out as he was one of the children that went into janissaries, but by his will because he wanted to revenge Namik, not to serve him.

"Those are all lies Osman Pasha and my wife did to turn you against me. They are always together somewhere around the Palace making plans to get rid of me. You maybe won't believe me, but one day you will find out the truth, then you will feel guilty and that will follow you your whole life," Namik yelled but Suleiman nodded to guards to take him away while Namik was swearing them.

I arrived to Topkapi as Osman informed me through Fehime that Suleiman will behead Namik today. This was the day I was waiting for since I found out what has happened. It was what he deserved after everything and I would never ever again wish to even see him or hear about of his name.

I came inside my Valide's chambers where already Beyhan, Hatice, Hurrem and Mahidevran were. This was the first time they probably saw me this happy and none of them except for Beyhan knew the real reason for that.

"What did happen that you are so happy today Fahriye?" Valide asked me when I sat next to her, Beyhan and Hatice. Everyone was confused, and probably none other woman would be happy when her husband is going to be beheaded, but none of them was in the position as me to suffer so much from her husband.

"You will see," I said as I know they all were getting ready for going into Tower of Justice as Suleiman ordered everyone. Only Beyhan and I knew what will happen there and I had no idea what they thought that might happen.

We walked on the Tower of Justice and there was only the army gathered on the main square yet. Suleiman and Namik haven't still arrived.

"I don't know why has he called us here, I hope nothing bad happens," Valide said as the last time we were invited was when he ascended the throne and not later. At that moment Suleiman came and the whole army bowed to him. Beside him Malkocoglu and Osman walked.

"Where is Ibrahim? Did anything bad happen to him?" Hatice asked worriedly but Gulfem and Mahidevran calmed her down as actually Ibrahim had no idea about this whole investigation. He arrived few minutes later and he was also confused because of this.

At that moment two guards came and bring a man who was dressed in white, meaning that he will be killed today. It was Namik. When my Valide saw him she was shocked as everyone else and immediately turned to me.

"Fahriye? What is this? Why are they killing your husband?" Valide asked me as she and everyone were worried. They thought I would probably cry here but I was the one who wanted this the most. Actually I didn't need him to die, I just wanted to divorce from him.

"It is what he deserves after everything he has done to me," I whispered after executioners beheaded Namik on the shock of everyone.

I was finally free. Finally. After living my life in lies and fake love. I might have loved him but what he has done made him already dead in my eyes. I knew I would never even want to visit his grave or my children remembering anything good about him.
