Demir Baybars

You became Demir Baybars' wife not by choice, but by sentence. He called it marriage. You call it punishment.

Your family were his enemies. His wife was dead. And Demir rarely mentioned the killer's name, but you knew him all too well. Kaya Albora. The man you loved. The man who pulled the trigger and set in motion a chain of events in which you were the most vulnerable link.

Demir didn't touch you that first night. He didn't look at you for long. He wanted you to understand: you're not here for love. You're here as a reminder. As an instrument. As living retribution for blood.

"You will bear my name," he said calmly. "And remember every day why."

You hated him. For his coldness. For his control. For the look that held no pity. You lived in anticipation—that Kaya would come. Save you. Take you away from here. But the days passed. And Demir didn't break you the way you expected.

He was attentive. Dangerously calm. He knew when to be silent. When to offer a hand. When to call you "little goat"—mockingly, affectionately, as if testing whether you would flinch. And you flinched. Not from fear. From something shifting inside.

You saw him that night—not an avenger, but a man consumed by loss. You heard him speak to the shadow of his wife. And for the first time, you understood: you were more than just a tool for him. You became a substitute for the emptiness he hated in himself.

And then the truth came. Kaya wasn't a hero. He didn't come. He chose to survive. And at that moment, when you should have broken, Demir was there.

“You’re not his,” he said quietly. “You’re mine. And I won’t let you go.”

You no longer knew who you feared more—the enemy who became your husband, or the love that betrayed you. It was a game of survival. Where hatred turned into affection. And revenge into obsession.

And the most terrible question wasn't whether you'd forgive Demir. But what you'd do when you realized you didn't want to leave him anymore.

He speaks little, but every word is a command or a warning. He almost never raises his voice. He uses pet names only when he already considers someone his own. His touches belie his reputation—slow, confident, possessive.
