Kosem Sultana was a powerful Sultana. Everyone admired her. She was an extremely strong authority. I didn't want to offend that woman right away. I knew she didn’t let Murad have strong women with him, but she didn’t know I was a strong woman. She didn't know I was ready to do anything.

Kosem Sultan sent her son girls she would consider suitable. She wanted to have girls who didn’t influence him, because she didn’t want some girl to gain his great affection. That would mean Murad opposing his mother.

After talking to her, I had to take on my responsibilities and go to the children of Murad. In the chambers I found only Ismihan Sultan.

- Sultana! - I bowed to her and smiled at her. I came closer to her.
- Where are your brothers? - I asked her. It was strange to me that there were no princes Suleiman and Ahmed.

- They're in class, Hatice. - she said and sat down on the sofa sadly.
I saw Ismihan bothering something. She was depressed and not very willing.

- Sultana, are you all right? I asked her, really worried, but I knew something was wrong. As much as I was a proud woman, I started to love Murad's children very quickly. Especially Ismihan Sultana. I loved her as if she were my child.

- I'm not well at all, Hatice. Nothing in my life is good. she said, lowering her head sadly. At that moment, I sat down on the sofa next to her, even though I knew I shouldn’t. But I wanted to comfort our Sultana.

I took her hand in mine and took her tightly.
- Tell me what's bothering you, Sultana. I can't look at you sad. - I told her with pity.

Ismihan leaned on my shoulder and I hugged her tightly.
- My father doesn't like my mother at all. According to the harem, he spent the night with a concubine last night. My mother is broken because of it. She didn't even let me into her chambers. - Ismihan said and burst into tears. I knew I was the source of those tears, but I didn't want it to be known.

- Sultana. Please don't cry. I know it’s not easy for your mother, but those are the rules in this harem. No woman can escape these rules. But you were born as a Sultana, you will never be like that. You will one day have a husband who will have only you. Your husband will never be allowed to look at another woman. I said as she cried on my shoulder. I fell in love with the Sultan Murad very much, and I didn't want her to be sad. I was especially saddened that I was the cause of those tears.

- I can't watch my mother cry. It saddens me even more that she doesn’t even care about me. Like neither for my brother Ahmed. The mother just shuts herself in the chambers and doesn’t go out anywhere. Ismihan spoke through tears streaming down her cheeks.

- Sultan, do not grieve please. It is difficult for your mother, but it is not an excuse for her behavior towards you. Try talking to her about it. I told her, hugging her.

- But I'm even angrier with my father. When I find out which woman was with him, I will destroy her. I don't know why he does this to my mother. Wasn't his marriage to Fary enough for him? That killed my mother. But this new one, I'm even more afraid of that. No one knows who she is. I will do my best to make my mother happy. - said Ismihan and started to wipe the tears from her face.

I was very shaken by Ismihan's words. She talked about wanting to destroy that woman, and she didn't know that woman was me. I fell very much in love with Murad. I couldn't help myself.

- Sultana, don't do that. You never know who that woman is. I told her, trying to comfort her.
- Whoever she is, I will never forgive her. Never. she said, trying not to cry anymore.

"Hatice, will you stay with me tonight to study Italian?" I really want to learn something. Ismihan asked me. At that moment, it cut me off. Murad called me to his place. He called me to spend the evening with him. If I refuse Ismihan, she will know that I am that woman.

- I will, Sultana. - I said her and I finally saw her smiling. It was early in the evening anyway. I instructed Aga to bring us a desk, papers, and ink. I decided to stay with our Sultan and try to make her at least a little happy. I wanted to give her a little attention when her mother wasn’t already giving it to her.

I taught Ismihan Sultan to write in Italian. She was thrilled and wanted to make progress. Her Italian immediately sat very well.

- Hatice, how do you say I love you in Italian? she asked curiously.
- Ti amo. - I told her with a smile.

I tried to make it as easy as possible for the Sultana. That child was so unhappy in her life. She reminded me of myself. My father never gave me love, while her mother didn't gave her love.

Meanwhile in the chambers of Sultan Murad.
Haci-aga knocked on the door and opened Murad, who was expected to Hatice.
- Haci-aga, what are you doing here? Murad asked him in wonder.

"I'm sorry, Sultan, but Hatice Hatun couldn't come." said Haci-aga, looking at the floor. It was embarrassing for him to say that in front of the Sultan at all, because everyone knew how impulsive the Sultan was.

- How do you think she can't come? How dare she? - Murat started yelling at Haci-aga who was afraid of him, as were most of the staff and servants.

- Sultan, I'm sorry. . Hatice Hatun just conveyed that she can’t come because. . . Haci-aga tried to say, but Murad approached him angrily.

- I want her to come to my quarters right away. There is no excuse. - Murad shouted at Haci.
- Excuse me, Sultan. Hatice Hatun stayed with Ismihan Sultana. The Sultana wanted Hatice to teach her Italian. said Haci-aga, who was ashamed before the Sultan.

Again in the chambers of Sultana Ismihan.

- Ismihan, you are making great progress in Italian. I didn't know you were doing so well. I told her proudly. I was very proud of her knowledge. I was also very happy because she forgot about her grief.

At that moment the door of her chambers opened abruptly, so abruptly that it almost shattered. Sultan Murad entered angrily. I immediately got up and bowed to him, and Ismihan did the same. Murad was extremely furious, but when he saw Ismihan happy, his heart softened.

- Ismihan, my daughter. he said and kissed her on the forehead.
- Father! she said and bowed to him.
- I didn't know you were interested in Italian, didn't your teacher explain it to you well? Murad asked suspiciously of the teacher.He did not give me a smile but looked at me with a very angry look.

- Father, Hatice Hatun explain better to me. She is young, while my teacher is very old. I learned more from Hatice today than with him in a year, I really like learning with her. she said and looked at me with a smile.

- Why didn't you let me know earlier? Murad asked her, pretending to be stern, but everyone knew he was weak on his daughter. She just looked at him with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry, Father, I didn't know you'd think this was bad." she said sadly.
Murad then kissed her on the forehead.

- If you like Hatice, then you will be able to continue teaching tomorrow. It's late today, you need to go to sleep. said Murad.

Ismihan listened to him and went to get ready for bed.
- You came with me right away. - Murad told me very angrily.

Ismihan looked at me in astonishment, but I had nothing else to do. I could not contradict the Sultan's will. He came out of the chambers furiously, and I followed him.

We walked towards his chambers. He was very fast and walked very angrily, while I with my short legs barely managed to catch up with him. He didn't speak words to me until we entered the chambers. He signaled to all the agas to leave his chambers.

I stood with my head bowed as he turned his back on me. I felt anger in him. I knew he was very angry.

He turned abruptly and looked at me. I could barely look him in the eye. I saw a strong fire in his eyes. Anger was steaming out of him.

- Who are you to refuse my orders and not come to me when I order you? - he started yelling at me. He was yelling so loud, that for the first time I felt fear of him. But I did not allow fear to overwhelm me. I raised my head and looked him deep in the eye.

"I am sorry, Sultan, but you have entrusted me to take care of your children, not to be your concubine." I told him, my head proudly raised.

Murad did not expect such an answer from me.
- You primarily belong to my harem and you are one of my concubines. You will listen to me like everyone else. No talking. he said angrily.

It just made me look at him even more proudly.
- I told you right away that I'm not like the others. You can’t do with me what you want. I told him in a cheeky voice.

My impudence and provocation towards him drove him crazy. He didn't expect a woman to treat him like that.

- Don't forget you're in my harem. Just because I gave you some privileges doesn't mean you can hold onYou are one of the concubines who serve me and who are there to satisfy me. he said very angrily.

- I told you right away that I wasn't. And I never will be. You can forget yesterday's events. No one will treat me like that. Get me out of the palace if you want, kill me. I have nothing left in my life anyway. - I told him very arrogantly and provocatively. I drove him crazy with my character. I knew he wanted me even more when I was like that to him.

- Why don't you understand that I want you. To be mine. You don't understand how crazy I am for you, and you deliberately drive me even crazier. - he told me and approached me proudly.

- Forget about me. I told you I would never be with a man who would have other women. You can be the ruler of the world, but if you have feelings for another woman, then there is no place for you in my heart. - I told him, getting into his face.

- Why did you stay with Ismihan and not come to me? Your concern is to take care of the children during the day and to come to me during the evening. he told me in a slightly calmer tone.

- Because you took care of your children. Because your daughter is sad without you even knowing it. Because maybe I was the only one who comforted her while you and her mother cared for her? I told him angrily.

At that moment, the expression on his face became worried. He didn't say a word.

"You're making fun of yourself, and you didn't even ask why I stayed with her and didn't come to you." Here's the reason. I told him as my eyes filled with tears.

- Hatice, I didn't know that was the case. . he said, but I turned my head away from him.
- Next time you can't blame me for that. I told him impudently.

- I just want you by my side. I don't want any other woman. Ever since I saw you, no other woman has a place in my heart. - he said and came very close to me. He entered my face and placed his hands on my hips.

- You can tell others that. I don't believe you. - I told him without even looking at him, but I was very weak near him.

- Then do you want me to prove my loyalty to you? he asked me and I just looked him deep in the eye.He couldn't resist the look.

I smiled intriguingly at him and he approached me and kissed me passionately. He kissed me for a very long time, and I enjoyed every second of that kiss. I felt such passion as with no one in my life. I wanted to sleep with him that very moment. No matter the consequences, no matter what.

As he kissed me he took me to his bed and climbed on top of me. He started kissing my neck passionately which drove me very crazy.

When I first slept with him, it was so passionate. I didn’t know so much passion could be between two persons. So much chemistry. I didn't feel any pain with him. I just left it all to him, and he left it all to me.
