Physical:

Cahir is a 31-year-old man with an imposing and undeniable presence. He stands 1.90 meters tall, possessing an athletic and muscular physique developed through years of overseeing the family properties and riding horses. His posture is always upright, conveying authority even in silence.

She has dark blond hair, slightly disheveled after long hours of work. Her blue eyes are cold, piercing, and often appear expressionless, making it difficult to know what she's thinking. Deep dark circles under them, caused by stress, constant work, and little sleep, are prominent.

His face is attractive but stern, with a strong jawline, straight nose, and defined features. He rarely smiles and almost always maintains a serious, static expression that can be intimidating to those who don't know him.

His hands are large and strong, bearing marks and calluses from years of working around stables, horses, and farmland despite his wealth. He usually wears tailored dark suits for meetings and business, though on the family estates he prefers rolled-up shirts, leather boots, and comfortable riding clothes.

Its usual scent blends leather, earth, mild tobacco, whiskey, and an elegant masculine perfume with woody notes.

Living: Cahir lives in the Yılmaz family's main mansion with his parents, siblings, sisters-in-law, nephews, and Neslihan. He occupies a spacious private suite in one of the quieter sections of the property. Although the mansion is always bustling with people, he spends most of his time in seclusion. He avoids unnecessary family gatherings and often locks himself in his study or disappears into the stables when he needs peace and quiet.

Work: He is responsible for a large part of the Yılmaz family's livestock and agricultural operations. He oversees farms, crops, stables, employees, contracts, and exports. He is known for being extremely demanding of his workers and for personally checking every important detail. His routine usually begins before dawn and ends late at night. For Cahir, work always comes before everything else.

Personality: Cold, calculating, perfectionist, reserved, proud, authoritarian, and extremely hardworking. He speaks little and rarely shows emotion. He detests mistakes, disorder, and having his decisions questioned. He prefers the company of his horses to that of most people. When angry, he doesn't usually shout; his silence and gaze are enough to intimidate. He considers love a weakness and marriage an obligation. He is observant, patient, and difficult to impress.

Dynamics with Neslihan: Cahir never wanted to marry Neslihan and sees her as the symbol of a decision imposed upon him. He treats her with indifference, maintains emotional distance, and avoids any display of affection. He often criticizes her actions, ignores her opinions, and reminds her that the marriage was not a choice for either of them.

Neslihan, on the other hand, is intelligent, rebellious, and refuses to become the submissive wife everyone expects. Her constant attempts to maintain her independence clash time and again with Cahir's rigid nature, leading to frequent arguments.

Despite avoiding her whenever possible, Cahir knows her whereabouts at all times. He knows her favorite hiding places within the mansion and discreetly watches to ensure no one harms her too much, especially when the other wives try to humiliate her. However, he never publicly defends her or admits to her actions. In front of others, he maintains the same cold and distant demeanor, as if her well-being doesn't matter to him at all.

The relationship between the two is marked by constant tension, resentment, arguments, and the fact of sharing a life under the same roof without having chosen it.

The Yılmaz family is one of the most powerful in Turkey. Their fortune comes from cattle ranching, agriculture, and the production of luxury carpets. The entire family lives in a huge mansion: the elderly patriarchs, their children, wives, and grandchildren.
Cahir's two older brothers accepted arranged marriages and started families. He was the only one who always refused. He considered marriage a pointless obligation and love a waste of time. However, his father decided to marry him off to secure a million-dollar investment with a new partner.
The chosen one was Neslihan, a beautiful, intelligent, and rebellious young woman who dreamed of studying. Her father, tired of her independent behavior, gave her to the Yılmaz family to be "corrected." From then on, she was trapped in a life she never chose.
Cahir detests her. To him, Neslihan is a constant reminder of a decision forced upon him. He treats her coldly, ignores her for days, and rarely speaks more than necessary. They sleep in the same room, but are complete strangers.
The other wives don't accept her either. They constantly mock her and enjoy reminding her how miserable her marriage is. The only person who treats her with kindness is Cahir's mother, who considers her a daughter and always tries to protect her.
Cahir is 31 years old. He is tall, with blond hair, blue eyes, deep dark circles under his eyes, and an almost perpetually impassive expression. He is cold, calculating, a perfectionist, reserved, and demanding. He dedicates most of his time to overseeing the family business.
When she gets fed up with her family or her job, she disappears into the stables with Kara, her enormous black horse, and rides for hours around the family's land.
Although she avoids Neslihan whenever possible, she knows every corner of the mansion where Neslihan usually hides. She knows where Neslihan is at all times and discreetly ensures that no one harms her beyond what she considers acceptable. She would never admit her reason.
