- Alexandra, you did great job. Now I need to make plan how to get rid of Farya, because I don't want her in Istanbul. - Kosem said to me after I told her what I have heard about Farya.

- I'm not Alexandra anymore, Sultana. Sultan gave me new name, Mihrişah. - I said to her proudly with a smile. I liked my new name a lot, and I knew I mean very much to Murad when he gave me special new name.

- I knew you will do very well, Mihrişah. You got into the heart of my lion. But I want you to stay loyal to me. I sent you to him, and if you make me angry, I can easily send another woman to him. - Kosem said to me. I knew I shouldn't catch up with her. I will let her think I am loyal to her, but only person I will be loyal to is only me.

- I will be loyal to you, Sultana. I hope you won't even need to question my loyality. - I said to her with a fake smile, but inside myself I didn't want another women to be sent to Murad.

I left her chambers and went to Harem. I haven't slept two nights in the row on harem mattress and it was so beautiful while I was sleeping in Sultan's chambers and his big bed.

I didn't want to return to sleep here. I knew I had already high hopes and wishes, but I didn't want to be here anymore.

- So you are woman because of which my children are angry because their father is not visiting them? - Ayse Sultana asked me in front of whole Harem angrily.

- Yes, I am Mihrişah. Sultan's new  favourite. - I said to her with a smile. I couldn’t stand people who are yelling on me, I loved to make fun of them when they do it. I learned to act like that my whole life, and no one can stop me.

- I didn't ask you what your name was. I don't care. You are again the new one, but don't worry. He will forget about you. I am mother of his two children and I am pregnant. Hopefully we will get one more Şehzade and successor to the throne. - she said with her head raised proudly. I didn't know she was pregnant.

I tried not to react, but it felt weird to me, like somebody hurted me, when I found out Murad is waiting for a child with another woman.

- You think he will forget on me the same way he forgot about you? - I said to her arrogantly just the way she behaved towards me. I won't allow her to act like this to me.

-

You should better take care of your words, you can't act like this in front of first wife of Sultan Murad. You need to behave properly. - she yelled on me. Ayse was really annoyed by my words. She measured me for the whole time looking at me with disgust. I could only imagine how she asked herself in her head how could Sultan be with me instead of her. But I knew I was better than her.

Three weeks have passed. I have spent every night with Murad and he fell in love with me. I wanted to convert on Islam to become a Muslim. I wanted to believe in what he believes.

My decision made him love me even more. I could see Ayse was jealous of me and she tried to get rid of me whenever she had a chance, but she couldn't. Because Murad was crazy for me.

Murad moved me to favourite's wing. I had my own room which I would usually share with another Murad's concubine, but this time he had no other favourites. It was just me. And I would do whatever is possible to stay it only like this.

Today it was Thursday. I wanted to see Murad. I started loving that man most in the world. I never felt so loved like I felt when I was in his presence. I never had an opportunity to feel that kind of love. And I never loved someone like I loved him.

I dressed most beautiful dress Kosem Sultana ordered Kalfas to make for me. Kosem loved me and supported me, it was obvious she wanted to make me spy for her. She gifted me with most beautiful dresses and jewerly even Ayse can be jealous of. Kosem wanted to buy me to be loyal to her, but she didn't know I am playing game with her.

I putted on my neck ruby necklace which Kosem gifted me. It was a gift her husband Ahmed gave her, and now she gave it to me. It was obvious she had huge trust in me, because she thought I am naive and I can't do anything to sabotage her. But she didn't know the real me, she didn't know I would never tell her everything I know. I am telling her only small parts which I find suitable for her to hear.

I came at the doors of Sultan's chambers where Mustafa Paşa was standing. He was also known as Silahtar, and he was main servant and loyal friend of Sultan Murad.

- Tell Sultan I came to visit him. - I said with a smile to Silahtar, which I had never opportunity to meet before. He was silent for few seconds, while he was measuring me.

- Hatun, you don't know today is Thursday? On Thursdays, Sultan spends time with Ayse Sultan and their family. You can return to Harem. - Silahtar said to me coldly.

I couldn't believe that in the day I dressed most beautiful things I had and I was so happy to see Murad, I couldn't see him because of the rules. Because of Ayse.

- Mihrişah, come in. - Murad said as he opened the doors. I felt such a happiness when I saw him, and I could see Silahtar didn't like me from the first moment.

Murad went and sat on his work desk while he was doing some kind of jewerly. I went and sat to his lap as he signalised me.

- I am sorry, Murad. I didn't know about the rule. I have never heard of it. - I said to him in sad tone of voice and acted like I didn't know it, but that was the first thing that Kosem learnt me. She always said to me how on Thursdays I can forget about Murad. But I didn't care.

- It doesn't matter, Mihrişah. You are my precious angel and I want you to have always here close to me. I want to spend every day and every night with you. For my whole life. - Murad said and kissed my cheeks. At that moment, he stopped when he saw a ruby necklace I had on my neck.

- How do you have the necklace which my father Sultan Ahmed Khan gave to my Valide Kosem Sultan? - he asked me bit confusedly.

- Kosem Sultana gave it to me. She wanted to gift me that because she thinks I am having good impact on you. - I said to him and acted kinda shy. He seemed really serious about this situation.

- I know you are close to my mother as she taught you of everything, but I want you to keep distance from her. She is trying to manipulate over me and she wants to rule this country. I don't want you to fall on her impact, because she will start to manipulate over you too. - Murad said to me as he seemed little bit worried for me.

- Don't worry, Murad. There is no person that can manipulate me. I am just being nice to Kosem Sultana. I would never have anything else with her. You are only one who I will listen to. - I said to him and his reaction soon changed to smile, which made me happy.

- Hunkarim, Ayse Sultan came to visir you. - Silahtar said as he came in Murad's chambers.

- Say to her to come tommorow. I am with Mihrişah now. - Murad said and ignored Silahtar, but just turned to kiss me.

I spent beautiful night with Murad. I mean, every night with him is the most beautiful night. I always feel good around man I love the most.

After we had a breakfast, I left his chambers as he had to go on Divan and had state jobs. I went through the hallway alone and went to the Harem. But at one moment, I saw Ayse, who was furiously walking towards me.

- Who do you think you are to stole me my Thursday? - Ayse yelled on me as she ran towards me. I never saw this woman so angry as she was in this moment.

- It is not my fault that Sultan loves me more than he loves you. - I said to her in calm tone of voice, but that made her even more crazy.

- This was supposed to be my Thursday. - she said and slapped me across the face and I falled on the floor.

- Ayse, stop. You are crazy. - I yelled on her as my head hurted me as I fell on the ground, but she just went down and started punching me in my face even more and more.

- Help! - I yelled as loudly as I could just to someone could hear me and save me.

- Sultan Murad won't like you anymore when you are not so beautiful. This is your end! - she yelled at me like crazy and was punching me on my face. I could feel that my face was bleeding.

- This is what you deserve. - Ayse yelled on me while she was laughing as crazy as she was happy for sure because of what she was doing to me. She punched me this time and it hurted me the most.

I could see three Ayse in front of my eyes which were moving weirdly, I felt only pain and I felt like I will faint now.

- Sultana, go away. If Sultan sees you, he will punish you. Leave her here, no one will know who did this to her. - I could hear familiar voice saying to Ayse who couldn't stop beating me. I gave whatever I could just to see who it was, and I saw Silahtar Mustafa Paşa who run away with Ayse leaving me alone, until I fainted.
