In the heart of Istanbul, where power and danger walk hand in hand, two fierce souls collide. Leyla Iskender—a woman born into privilege, the daughter of a feared police officer, and a storm in her own right. Trained in combat, fluent in multiple languages, and untouched by fear, she is the kind of woman who doesn’t bow to anyone.

Then there’s Ozan Ali Ahmet—ruthless, enigmatic, and a mastermind with control over the city's underground. When Leyla dares to interfere in his business, she unknowingly marks herself as his greatest obsession. A dangerous game of power and dominance unfolds between them, where every step brings them closer to a line that neither is willing to cross—until it’s too late.

What happens when a man used to control meets a woman who refuses to be tamed? When fire meets fire, will it burn them both… or ignite something even darker?

In the streets of Istanbul

When they finally arrived in Italy, Leyla was still fast asleep. Ozan glanced at her—her soft features, slightly parted lips, and the innocence that only showed when she was sleeping.

"Leyla," he called her name softly, but she didn't react.

He placed his fingers gently on her cheek, tapping lightly, but she still didn't wake up. Ozan let out a quiet sigh before deciding he wasn't going to wait any longer. Without hesitation, he scooped her up into his arms.

Leyla stirred slightly, but she still didn't fully wake up. Her head rested against his shoulder.

"Are you actually this heavy, or is this just an excuse to cling to me?" Ozan teased, but she remained motionless in his arms.

As he carried her off the private jet, his guards followed closely behind. Ozan walked effortlessly, carrying her all the way to the car. Once there, he carefully placed her in the back seat, taking a moment to look at her face one more time.

A possessive smile formed on his lips.

"The game you've started, Leyla… let's see who wins."

With that, he shut the car door and signaled the driver. The real journey in Italy was about to begin.
