Destruction.

Everything around me was falling in to pits of destruction. The world no longer made any sense. It was almost as if a hollow of darkness had made it's way across my vision, and with each passing moment. My world was drowning with darkness.

No matter how hard I tried, I no longer had the will to stay focused. I was falling and this time, I had no one to catch me.

There was a distant voice ringing in my ears. Yelling, screaming but I could no longer focus. All I could see was the woman I loved laying in my arms, with a pool of red running down her legs.

".. I need you to stay calm sir, please take a seat"

A voice spoke in the background and it took me a good few moments to realise, that I was the one being spoken to. Looking around, I felt a harsh grip on my shoulders and arms pulling, and it was then that I realised both Murat and Kenan were holding on to me.

" Brother, I need you to calm down. They're going to look after her. She's gonna be alright"

Kenan spoke beside me in a mantra as I watched Farya being rushed towards the ICU department. At the angle I was in, I could see her bloody hands laying down and a breathing mask across her nose and for the first time in my entire life, I felt my body turn limp. The world around me twisting.

" Moustafa you gotta stay strong"

Murat spoke as he held me tightly but all I could see was the woman I loved being rushed down the hall and through the doors.

"She didn't do anything wrong. She fucking stayed with me after everything you all put her through-"

I started finding myself stagger backwards. The wall making contact against my back, as my knees give in. Finding myself lean down, almost to stop the world from spinning for a moment. I started hearing my voice tremble.

" Moustafa-"

" You all put her through so much shit. You couldn't see how much I fucking love her"

I yelled looking upwards at my brother. Gripping against his hand, I slammed it on to my chest seeing him flinch.

" My heart fucking hearts Murat! And it's because both my wife and daughter are in there, whilst that dog is still out there and the worst thing is-"

I murmured wiping the tears that made it's way down my face. Looking towards my mothers face, and then towards Elder Ali, Elif and Murat. I spoke dryly seeing my mother flinch.

" You all were ready to kill us both. You should be happy, you achieved just that"

I yelled causing a few eyes to land on us, but I could care less. I no longer had the will to keep up with the name, with the honour. It had destroyed us.

Throwing my head backwards, I found it hard to breath. Each time I closed my eyes, I could see Farya's bloody hands in front of me. Her small figure shaking and her face turning utterly cold.

" I'm going to kill him. Wipe them all, one by one, and then we'll see who has honour"

I muttered seeing both Murat and Kenan's eyes widen, from the corner of my eyes I could see Imaam Mebarak rush towards us alongside Layla and her husband. Their faces frantic.

" How is she?"

Layla asked rushing towards Elif who in return broke in to tears, whilst shaking her head. Looking away from the sight I found myself walking out of the ward and down the corridor to where the entrance was. Completely ignoring my brothers pleas to stay.

Stepping in to the cold air, I felt my eyes close for a moment. Glancing upwards, Farya's words whispered in my ears. Making it hard for me to breath.

" You'll always be my saviour. My chosen one. My Forbidden love"

Opening my eyes, I felt them land on the men that worked for me. Dressed in black and a stoic look on their faces, they looked towards me. Probably seeing a grown man cry for the first time, but by God, I could care less. My Farya was inside that hospital fighting for her life. Our daughter was there with her and I knew, as they did, I wouldn't rest till I found that sleaze bag again.

" Sir, what would you like us to do?"

A voice spoke beside me making me glance to the side and see Kerem stand next to me.

" I want you to find out where Ferhat and his sons are hiding! And then I want you to find Emre Vidit"

I spoke seeing Kerem nod as he raised his hand upwards indicating for the men to get inside the car. Within moments the large six cars parked outside the hospital started and drove down the porch whilst I stood in the cold. My mind reeling back and forth.

" Moustafa"

A voice spoke beside me making me tense. I could feel my eyes trail upwards and land on the familiar hazel ones that looked all too much like my wife's.

" Noursheen"

I spoke glancing towards the woman, and Farya's mother who now stood infront of me.

" What have you done to her"

Noursheen spoke as she took a step infront of me. Her eyes bloodshot and puffy. I could see the woman raise her hand and I knew what was coming but all I did was stand there, not moving, seeing her hand connect against my cheek.

Looking towards the woman, I could see her body shake as she slammed her small fists on my chest.

" You killed her. I begged you all to come, I never trusted you with her"

Noursheen cried hysterically as I glanced from her towards Farya's mother whose face looked utterly emotionless. Her cold eyes looking towards me.

" I will kill you if anything happens to her"

She spoke coldly making me chuckle darkly at the woman seeing her face fall. Taking a dangerous step in front of the woman, she backed away a little.

" Don't you dare come near my wife or our daughter Lila. Don't think I don't know the cruelty you put her through"

" And I'm assuming you treated her like a queen in your house. I know all too well how cruel Esma is. She did worse with her"

Lila snapped making me look towards the woman seeing her glare at me as she walked straight past me and towards the hospital.

I couldn't think straight as I found myself storming towards where my car was. Intaking a sharp breath, I sat inside and within moments I was driving out of the hospital and down the roads.

"You were supposed to save me"

Farya's voice whispered as I felt tears blur vision. Intaking a sharp breath, I pressed on the gas finding the car rush down the road, coming to a familiar sight of green trees.

Stopping the car at a small clearing I found myself step out. Walking through the black gates, I felt a cold shiver rush down me as I made my way past the graves seeing names of people I once knew and grew up with, carved deep in the stone.

Through the rows and rows, I found myself stopping infront of two large grave's seeing the names printed on the stone.

Hamza Aydin.

Glancing towards my left I felt my gaze travel towards a slightly older grave seeing my father's name written in the white stone.

Tayyib Aydin

Walking towards my father's grave, I felt my shaky hands brush past the stone. Tears blurred my vision as I sat next to the grave.

" Baba M-My Farya. My daughter, are dying and I-I can't do anything to save them. I'm dying inside b-but I can't-" I trailed off, my voice breaking as I found my head lowering. Tears rushing down my face.

" It hurts doesn't it. Seeing someone you love dying"

A voice spoke beside me making me tense. Raising my head upwards I felt my gaze travelling to the side seeing the one person I hadn't ever thought of.

" Abu-Bakr Fatih Khizan" I spat standing upwards seeing the man look towards me. His icy blue eyes trained on mine before they flickered towards the two graves.

" Here to gloat on the dead"

I spat angrily seeing the man look towards me, utterly emotionless before he cleared his throat and shook his head.

" I have no reason to Moustafa. Your father was my uncle. I never wanted this"

He spat making me chuckle as I reached towards the man finding my fists meet his face, seeing the man staggered as he let out a small cry of shock.

" Are you fucking serious. Your father killed mine, and you killed my brother" I bellowed across the quiet graveyard seeing the man's face fall.

" I didn't kill Hamza. How many times do I have to say it. When will you understand" Fatih shouted back making me shake my head as the man now took a dangerous step towards me, but I remained utterly unfazed.

" But you, oh you, killed my son and now my daughter is on the verge of death. You have taken everything away from me and I will do the same. This I swear on my dead uncle's grave"

He spat making me reach towards my gun and point it straight towards him, seeing the man remain stoic, not moving the slightest.

" Your daughter is my wife. My wife. She is having my daughter, I'd die for them and I'd kill for them" I spat seeing the man's eyes widen, almost as if he didn't know Farya was having a child.

Of course he didn't!

" I know who killed Hamza"

Fatih spoke making me tense. My breathing laboured as I glared towards the man, seeing him take a step towards me. Holding on to my gun, he pinned it towards his forehead with one hand, before the sound of a another gun clicking reached my ears and it was then I realised he held a gun towards my stomach.

" If you lie to me. I will shoot you"

I spat seeing the man scoff as he glared at me. Completely unaffected by my threats, which makes grown men piss their pants.

" I have no reason to lie to you Aydin. I guess the ritual runs deep in the family. A brother kills brother. A cousin kills his cousin and an uncle kills his nephew"

Fatih spoke making me stagger backwards. I could feel my body turn utterly numb seeing the man before me nod. A pained expression on his face.

" W-What"

" You know all too well, why! You didn't marry his daughter. Hamza didn't marry his daughter. You stained his honour so what did he do-"

" He killed him"

I breathed out seeing Fatih look towards me before he sighed and shook his head.

" I'm tired of all this Moustafa. I'm tired of this revenge, of all the killing"

Fatih spoke as he walked forward, standing next to Baba's grave he sighed, and raised his hands upwards in prayer.

" If you're lying to me-"

" I am not. If you don't believe me, that's your choice but remember,to men here. Honour is bigger than their lives"

Fatih spoke as I glanced towards him one last time before walking down the graveyard and towards where the black gates were.

I could feel my eyes land on Agha as he looked towards me alongside a few of his men. Turning my head in an aggressive manner the man looked away, his eyes focusing ahead.

Walking out of the entrance I found myself getting inside my car. Inhaling sharply, I felt anger spike through me as I started the engine and soon found myself driving away and towards where that bastard could be hiding.

The sound of my phone ringing made my gaze flicker upwards. Swiping against the callers name, Murat's voice echoed across the car.

" Moustafa they have found Ferhat. He handed himself to the police and they've taken him under some protection shit-"

He started making the car come to a screeching halt in the middle of the road. I could feel my hands slam against the wheels hearing Murat speak again.

" We need you to come here. It-the doctor told us something"

" What? Don't fuck with me. Tell me straight. Is she okay, is the baby okay?"

I yelled hearing loud voices in the background making my body cower. All strength leaving me.

" She is alive, still in ICU but you need to come here and sign some documents. Look please come"

Murat spoke as the line went dead making me yell. My fists slamming against the wheels. A moment or two didn't pass as I found myself restarting the engines and driving down the road and towards where the hospital was.

I dont know how it happened, or how I managed to make it inside but from the time I walked out of the car and in to the ward. Everything was blur.

Rushing down the familiar hallway, I felt chills rushing down my body. My heart now on fire and cold sweat splurging through my palms.

" Murat, Kenan?"

I yelled seeing the two men turn around and Deniz as well, who had been standing with them. His face and eyes red.

" Did you know?"

Kenan spoke walking towards me. His green eyes bloodshot as he spoke, tears rushing down his face.

" Know fucking what?" I spoke seeing Kenan halt in his tracks as he looked towards me before looking away. His head shaking.

" She has cancer. Farya has bloody cancer"

Kenan spoke making my body freeze. A cold tremor rushed down my body seeing the man step towards me. His hand reaching forward. Flinching I took a step back feeling my eyes land on towards Deniz.

" Dont joke me now Kenan. I will forget you're my brother" I spoke glaring at him, feeling my eyes on Deniz who looked away guilty.

" You knew! You fucking knew why didn't you tell me. Why the fuck were you quiet?"

I growled all of a sudden storming towards Deniz. Gripping the man against his shoulders, I found myself slamming him on to the wall hearing loud yelling behind us, but right now I couldn't think straight.

" Why didn't you tell us"

" Because she begged us goddamit to keep quiet. She didn't want to tell you" Deniz yelled back, pushing me away as I staggered backwards. Bile rising at the back of my throat.

" So you kept quiet and watched her die you coward" I spat seeing his face turn in to rage.

" I'd do anything for Farya, Moustafa I fucking love her. You hear that! I've fucking loved her all my life. I'd even die for her and I'd kill for her-"

Deniz yelled as he suddenly reached towards his gun, and pointed to towards his temples making me tense. My body turning utterly cold.

Oh God!

" What have you done Deniz?"

A voice spoke behind me, a voice that belonged to Noursheen as Deniz stood infront of us. Shaking his head like a madman.

" Put the gun down son. It doesn't have to end like this" Another voice came as Fatih took a step forward and slowly reached towards the gun Deniz held towards his temples.

" It was me. It was because of me he died, but I didn't mean to. You can't tell her though"

Deniz suddenly started, his hysteric voice echoing around us. I could feel Murat stand next to me, alongside Kenan. Their faces pale.

" I told them that night. I told them where he would be. Sohail Vidit promised me but he didn't keep it"

" What are you talking about boy?"

" I told Sohail and Emre Vidit where Roshan was that night. They made me become his friend beforehand but I didn't know they'd kill him"

Deniz broke down as he fell on to the floor, his hysterical sobs echoing around us making me look towards Kenan seeing him nod.

" Why would Sohail Vidit want to kill Roshan?" I spoke seeing Deniz look at me. His eyes bloodshot as he looked at me incredulous.

" Because Faryal was his fucking sister" He started as he wiped his tears away. His hand shaking.

"Habib killed his sisters, so he took revenge on Roshan for his sisters death. His own nephews son"

Deniz spoke as he stood up all of a sudden and wiped his face. His hands shaking. Fatih who was eerily quiet took a step infront of the man, before.

" You haven't once told me who your parents were Deniz! Or do you even have any?"

Fatih spoke as he took a dangerous step towards the man who stood a little taller. His face turning red and his eyes swelling up with tears.

" I do"

" And who exactly are they?"

Faith spoke as the man before us flinched before he spoke. His voice echoing all around us. And it was only then that everything made sense, how everything fell easily in to pieces.

It was him. He was the fucking mole that took pictures of me and Farya and displayed it infront of everyone on the wedding day. He did it all.

" S-Sohail Vidit"

Deniz spoke as Fatih let out a small growl before his hand landed across the man's face causing him to stagger backwards. Blood oozed out of his mouth as he was suddenly gripped by Fatih.

" I want you to run, as far away as you can before I can find you and make you dig your grave"

Fatih spoke making Deniz shake his head. Tears running down his face as he clasped his hand together, begging on his knees.

" Please don't. I have to see Farya, I need to see her p-please"

He cried as Agha came and suddenly gripped the man before taking him out of the waiting area. Kenan who had a hold on me all this time released it, almost as if he knew I'd jump forward on him.

Silence greeted us. Utter haunting silence. That silence greeted us all for the next four hours or so.

Everyone around me was scattered all over the place. Those who had lost their faith had now regained it as they prayed to god. Hoping for a miracle.

Throughout the whole ordeal, Nourie sat next to Guliez, large tears running down her face. The woman rocked back and forth as her son also tried to console her.

Lila Khizan sat a good mile away from her husband. Dressed in all black, the woman's hair occasionally came across her face making her wipe it away all the whilst she glared at her husband. Elder Ali, Imaam Mebarak my mother sat quietly praying.

Murat sat beside Kenan on one end and on the other end Elif sat next to him, her head leaning on his shoulder

Tears running down her face.

Layla had gone to the house to make sure Mirya was okay making Elif be more than grateful.

Where as me, I sat on the cold floor. Praying to anything and everything to make my princesses be okay. As soon as they were both out of the hospital I'd take them away. Far far away from this hellhole. I thought hearing a door open.

" Is Mr. Moustafa Aydin here?"

A voice came from the hallway making me stand up abruptly. My head spinning at the sudden movement, nodding I felt my eyes travel towards an older woman who walked towards me.

Holding my breath, I could feel her intake a sharp breath before she spoke. Her voice filled with pain.

" I am extremely sorry sir, we couldn't save her"
