Synopsis

Kerem is a successful businessman and the heir to a prestigious wine- making family… The Sipahioglu…..Whilst on a trip to his family's vineyard in Montenegro he meets Sevda, a law student traveling through Montenegro as part of an Erasmus program.

Whilst helping her mother at work as a maid in the home of a prestigious family, Sevda is shocked to discover that she is working for Kerem. Although Kerem is surprised to see Sevda coming from such humble origins, his feelings for her are undeniable.

However, this couple will do anything to overcome their struggles and class differences - anything to live their love without limits.

To get a better understanding as to how the series is to progress the character analysis of the cast of characters is warranted

Sevda Gunes is one of the free spirits in this world, just like her mother Perihan. Her mother has taught her to embrace passion, love, and life to the fullest… Despite the hardships she has faced, Sevda, who never loses her joy and passion for life, will be tested with a love greater than herself. Her unbending spirit will bend for the first time in the face of love.

Kerem Sipahioglu is the only son of the family and the sole heir of the Sipahioğlu family, destined to take over the family business one day. He has been raised like a prince, with even his meal times, sleep, and wake-up hours strictly predetermined in the mansion. However, he will fall in love with a girl from the common people, and his entire world will be reshaped and transformed by this love. His ultimate test in this world will be choosing between his family and the woman he loves.

The phrase "a woman like a government" seems to have been coined for Nüzkhet Sipahioglu. She is not just the protector of the family's traditions; she is the embodiment of it. Her family comes before everything else. Regardless of the magnitude of her actions, she never feels guilty because she has done it all for the sake of her family and its continuity. When her secrets are revealed, her ruthless side will also come to light.

Vedat Sipahioglu the patriarch of the Sipahioglu family….His love for Sureyya was like the greatest fire in Istanbul, but it couldn't survive because of Nüzhet, slipping through his fingers. His life actually ended that day, but he continued to breathe for the sake of his children. He is highly emotional, well-intentioned, and understanding of others' situations. He is very fond of Kerem and Aliye. However, when Nüzhet entered his life, she also intervened in his relationship with his children and created distance. Nüzhet will reveal her most ruthless side to him.

Aliye Sipahioglu is the middle child of the family. Despite the gloomy and rigid atmosphere in the house, she is cheerful, energetic, sympathetic, and a good young woman. Her only fear is her aunt Nüzkhet. But even though she is afraid, she has an unyielding, rebellious spirit just like her mother Süreyya, whom she has never met.

Rana Hanoglu, who comes from an Ottoman lineage, lost her parents in France when she was young and was brought to Istanbul and raised by the Sipahioğlu family. Behind her calm and unassuming appearance, she is afflicted with ambition, jealousy, and an obsessive love for Kerem. She has two different faces and two different lives, and she will do whatever it takes to possess her childhood love, Kerem.

For Selim, his wife Fevziye is no different from his army buddies, and he cheats on her. In reality, he is an enemy camouflaged as a Sipahioğlu family son-in-law.

They say, "Beauty doesn't determine one's fate," and this saying applies to Perihan. At first glance, her beauty is striking, but what stands out even more is her ability to stand on her own and protect her children under any circumstances. Despite marrying Naci being her biggest mistake, this marriage gave her two beloved children, Sevda and Memo. However, this mistake will haunt her until the end of her days.

The series due to poor ratings wasn't given the chance to fully develop and pursue the story lines which started to come to light in episode 5.

Jamal Theoman signs a partnership agreement with Rana Hanoglu to build a Hotel on the vineyard lands owned by her. The Hotel would not destroy or damage the existing Vineyards.

Nuzkhet meets with Mr Theoman

Theoman: I didn't expect to see you so early… What can I do for you?

Nuzkhet: You can leave the same way you left many years ago.

Theoman: This only happens once…..In front of you is no longer the young guy whom you sent out the door with just a suit case.

Nuzkhet: I don't care who you are…. Stay away from my family, my home , my land.

Theoman: Are you so mad about something you don't care about?

Nuzkhet: Don't overstep your boundaries, Salih!

Theoman: Salih died. Long live Jamal… In fact, while I was driving here…..I still had doubts …. I was wondering, have you changed? I wondered if your heart had softened after all these years?….. But I see nothing has changed… You're still the same as you were when you were 20.

Nuzkhet: Don't you dare pretend to be an unhappy person in front of me…. Who was treated unfairly.

Theoman: For God's sake ….. look at me…..Do you think that in front of you is still a man who can be controlled?….. Calm Down…..Don't be so mean….We will continue to work with you a lot…. We have a wonderful agreement here.

Nuzkhet: This will not happen.!

Theoman: What will you do?… How will you interfere?… What will you tell Rana….Really…. You probably have a plan….Right?…. When I think about what you did to me and Shureyya.

Nuzkhet: Don't say that woman's name!

Theoman: Why…. Does it really hurt?… If this is so easy, then may it hurt you even more. …. But who am I telling what, right?… How do you know about love for your child?… Are you your own child in your belly?

Nuzkhet : Shut up already…..enough!

Theoman: Didn't it hurt you at all?….. Nuzkhet….. When did you have an abortion? ….. You didn't even ask me… Then You didn't regret it at all?

Nuzkhet: I didn't regret it at all… before he had father like you….. it's better for him not to be born at all.

Theoman: May the almighty punish me…. How could Love a woman like you…..there is no longer that naive man in love with you in front of you….. Now I am your enemy. …..For me ,,,,,,,,,Nuzkhet…..know that I am involved in all your problems…. I will watch you leave that mansion and walk away.

Nuzkhet's long kept secret of giving birth to a son is about to be disclosed to Kerem….. her son, as he reads the letter left to him by Vedat telling him that he is not his biological father and that Nuzkhet is his biological mother. Kerem finds Nuzkhet and takes his anger out on her with Aliye and Fevziye looking on.

Kerem: You thought that your child deserved to grow up without a mother…..What have I done to deserve such ruthlessness…Look at the child calling for his mother and regretting it… Do you know what it's like?… I know. How did did you take it?…..Your child cannot call you mom…. You can't proudly say this is my son. ….9 months…9 months carrying a child who doesn't call you mother…. Didn't it hurt you at all?….. I didn't want a hug….should I say that this is my son…..of course not…so ruthless…full of hatred…..when did she think about motherhood?

Nuzkhet: I had to, son.

Kerem: Don't call me son…..Why?…To preserve the family's reputation.

Nuzkhet: Not because of reputation.

Kerem: When did you want to say?… never… Would it go with you to your grave, right?

Nuzkhet: I didn't have the courage to tell my family that I was going to become a mother…I couldn't defend myself and you….I was scared.

Kerem: You years earlier…Ms Nuzkhet moved from the side of those who were afraid to the one who is afraid. Nuzkhet, whom I know, cannot be frightened by any servant of god here.

Nuzkhet: Maybe,,,,,,,Maybe….I was scared of you…. I was afraid of my child's hatred that the day you find out, you will reprimand mr….. You will hate it…..I knew.

Kerem: From the son to whom you refused to be mother …. You can't wait for the warmth , right…the existence of a ruthless mother…. So keep pretending you're dead…..I didn't have another…. And I won't… and speaking of my Aunt, I'll try not to pretend to be the one who pretends that you haven't invested anything in me. ….. Don't be ruthless.

As Kerem prepares for his proper proposal in asking for Sevda's hand in marriage to Sevda's mother Nuzkhet asks to talk to Kerem so that she can further explain herself.

Nuzkhet: You asked me…. If I ever loved? ….. I fell in love so much that my eyes were blinded by love….. I returned from the road you are now….. walking on a long time ago, Kerem…. I've been back for a long time.

Kerem: Don't you dare tell me that you understand me….Don't you dare do this!

Nuzkhet: My loved one was a farmer…. My family didn't accept him…. I resisted despite this….. I even tried to run away from home …..what happened next…. He broke up with me, left me.

Kerem: And you …despite all this …didn't not accept Sevda, so?

Nuzkhet: I wanted to protect you…. So that you didn't experience the same thing…. Different worlds will not meet… Kerem… you will also be abandoned, betrayed…..these people are not like us.

Kerem: Look … don't compare Sevda with this man…. You don't know Sevda…..you didn't even give her a chance.

Muskhet : Sometimes we don't see the truth and we pay heavily for it.

Kerem: You abandoned your own child,,,,,,,,,, your son…why should I listen to you?

Nuzkhet: The man whose child I was suppose to give birth to ….. cheated on me with Vedat's wife. Can you imagine how difficult and embarrassing this is for all of us… Sureyya was pregnant….we were told she died during childbirth… They said her child was alive… I entered this estate with you in my arms telling everyone that you are Surety's child …. You had no one to call mom…but you had an aunt who was like a mother … We can't see Kerem….Love is like a big curtain…..Judge me as much as you want…..nothing will change the truth that I am your mother….Do you know what I wouldn't give for you to call me mom at least once?

Kerem: I…..to a woman who never showed motherhood….. I will never ,,,,,,,,,,ever…..call you mom… To me, you are no different from a living corpse.

The final scene and the ending to the short lived series ended with Nuzkhet arriving with Flowers and chocolates to the maids quarters and asking that she be allowed to ask for Sevda hand in marriage since this is what her son wants…. Kerem thanks her by calling her mom.

Episode 6

The scene begins with Mrs Dilber entering Jemal Theoman's van during the ending of episode 5

Theoman: Mrs Dilber….. you have news for me…. Has Nuzkhet started making plans to interfere with this agreement I made with Rana?

Mrs Dilber: the mansion is in turmoil…. Madame Nuzkhet is losing her grip… Young Master Kerem has assigned himself the head of the household by placing his father's ring on himself… he is determined to proceed with this marriage with that farm girl …. It will break Rana's heart.

Theoman: Rana will be fine the farther she gets away from Nuzkhet the better off she will be…tell me more of this Kerem….. will he be a problem to my plans?

Mrs Dilber: He has always been the pampered prince…. Madame Nuzkhet has always treated him as though he was her own son. She has always wanted the marriage between Rana and him to solidify the bloodlines of the two families.

Theoman: I wouldn't expect anything less from Nuzkhet…. family pedigree is more important to her than love…. What of the girl…. Does she love the boy or is she just interested in the family fortune…. Nuzkhet would never tolerate such a person.

Mrs Dilber: Master Kerem fell in love with the girl in a single meeting … she is very beautiful, but very willful and independent… not your typical house servant…. I've understood that she has been studying law but something happened that caused her and her family to pick up roots and move here from Montenegro.

Theoman: keep me informed…. Especially as to what Nuzkhet plans to do to block my agreement with Rana….. your payment will be transferred to your account.

The house gossip of the mansion staff is flamed by Mualla and Nazar

Sultan : if you two would spend more time working than gossiping more things would get done

Mualla: Sister … you have to admit… With Sevda becoming the new house princess instead of Rana….. things will be brighter for all of us

Nazar: Mualla we need to take Sevda out and find out how all this happened… she shows up out of now where and displaces Rana overnight. All of us may have a chance with her secret

Perihan walks in to start her duties

Sultan: What are you doing? ….. you're the brides mother… do you want us all to get fired?

Perihan: don't you start with me?… I have a debt to pay…. I don't want to give Ms Nuzkhet any reason to make Sevda's life any harder than it already will be….Kerem is a nice enough boy but he won't be able to protect Sevda from this world that continues to look down on her.

Mualla: If it were me I would be taking advantage of my new status… should we be preparing a rooms upstairs for your family?

Perihan : Mualla you should be more concerned about your escapades with Selim….. you know that's not going to end well!

Sultan: when will these young kids learn ?

Mualla: both of you know… Nazar have you been telling stories?

Sultan: Mualla…. You're a beautiful girl but your choice in men is very dumb….. Selim…really?

Sevda walks in and everyone claps

Sevda: please don't embarrass me… thank you all for last night… it's the first time I felt that I had a big family 's support….. Mom….. Kerem wants me to go with him…..is there anything you want me to do before I go with him.

Perihan: You need to talk to Kerem to make clear what is expected of all of us from now on….. we still have a debt to pay.

Mualla: Your rich son in law will pay your debt.

Sevda: No he won't…..I'm not marrying him for his money… I'll work and pay our own debt.

Nazar: Sevda….. can you go out with us after work…. Just to have some fun before you get married.

Sultan: Enough gossiping let's all get back to work before Mrs Dilber sticks her nose into our business.

Sevda and Kerem go to the vineyard

Sevda: who would've thought that a year ago when our eyes met in that vineyard in Montenegro….. I would becoming your wife?

Kerem: I knew when I looked into your eyes that you were the one for me….. our destinies were tied to that day

Sevda: Kerem…now that you've acknowledged your mother…. Will we have to do everything she wants?

Kerem : What do you mean…. Is she still bulling you ?

Sevda: No…. But … you know what she had you do for your engagement to Rana….with all those people in your social class …. I don't know any of them and my mom and memo will feel very uncomfortable ….can we have a very simple wedding… here in the vineyard…. I don't want the house staff to serve us but rather be our guest….. what do you think?

Kerem: Whatever you want… The only thing I want is that you become my wife….that's all I care about.

Sevda: I want that too… but before I become your wife…can I go out with Nazar and Muella ? ….they want to have a girls night out.

Kerem calls Halil and asks if he will accompany him so that he can protect his future wife from getting into any trouble….. they enter the local tavern and see Sevda , Mualla and Nazar dancing and drinking and having a good time. Once they see some of the local men trying to cut in and make a play….Kerem steps in

Kerem: The lady is taken… Sevda though surprised is very happy… she places her arms around Kerem 's neck and gives him a very passionate kiss… Mualla and Nazar both stare with envy.

Sevda: I missed you

Kerem: I missed you to…. Can we go by ourselves ….. I just want to be with you.

Sevda: What do I tell Mualla and Nazar?

Kerem: I'll handle that…. Halil…. Can you protect these two beautiful young ladies …. I'm taking Sevda with me.

Muella: so your stuck with us…. You're probably not comfortable in a place like this?

Halil: What makes you say that or are you just making an assumption….. Kerem and I often went to places like this….. you meet some of the most interesting people… take you for example…. You probably could have any man in this place…. You've got the looks…..and from what I've observed you pick and chose whom you want to be with.

Nazar: he's got you pegged… what about me ?

Halil: You're the shy innocent one…. You won't pick anyone that will upset your mom and dad.

Mualla: Your good….Now that you have us figured out … what about you… you often come to the mansion… did you ever noticed us there?

Halil : How else would I be able to make my observations…. Are you ready for the next round?

The three of them continue to drink and dance until Halil announces it's time for him to take them home… He drops off Nazar off at the mansion…. Leaving just him and Mualla.

Halil: Where would you like me to drop you off?

Mualla: Where do you want to take me… I know you want me…. I want you also… your one of the most interesting man I've ever met.

Halil: Are you sure this isn't the alcohol talking?

Mualla: I don't get to meet many men like you…. So if this is my one opportunity…I'm going to make the most of it… do you want to fuck me or not?

Halil brings her to his apartment whereby Mualla begins to do what she does best… No sooner as the door closes behind her she immediately proceeds to begin kissing Halil like he's never been kissed before…. Mualla's lips begin clamping and tugging on his as she simultaneously takes his shirt off and begins messaging his penis. Halil for his part cups her breasts and squeezes and messages them while his penis gets an immediate erection.

He picks her up and brings her to his bedroom where they both help each other with removing the rest of their cloths. As his eyes gaze on her perfectly proportioned body… she spreads her legs to let him see what he wants. She grabs his head and places it between her legs and begins grinding her wet vagina against his mouth. Her moans begin to get louder as he lets his tongue lick and roll around her clitoris. Once he begins sucking on her vagina lips she holds his head tightly against herself as her orgasmic cycle begins. He intensifies her pleasure as he inserts two fingers inside her to message her G spot while his thumb rubs her clitoris making her quiver and jerk into one orgasm after another.

Mualla looking into Halil's eyes : your so good you're dangerous…she now knows it's her turn … she places him at the foot of the bed and then kneels on the floor so that she is at eye level with his penis that standing erect and firm. After a few strokes and squeezes she begins letting her tongue roll around his penal head make his lubricating fluid easily be seen. Halil begins biting his own lips as the sensation of Mualla lips and tongue build his climatic pressure seeing his penis entering Mualla's mouth. As she starts sucking and letting her tongue role and spreading his lubricating fluid around it…. her hand jerks and squeezes it making his penal head swell even more in her mouth. He takes her head making it bob up and down almost bringing him to a point of climax. ….. he breaks the thought of his climax by raising her head and lifting her up so that she can sit on his lap as his penis glides inside her silky and very wet vagina . With her legs wrapped around his waist…she begins grinding and twerking herself against him wanting to feel every inch of his penal muscle. ….. he also starts thrusting himself even harder to synchronize with her grinding. With both of them on the verge of climaxing Mualla once again kisses him with almost animalistic flare …. she bites and sucks on his lips as her euphoric high multiple orgasms begin anew. … Halil no longer able to hold himself… releases his throbbing ejaculations inside her.

Mualla: no ones every made me cum like this…. If you don't have girlfriend ….. I'm yours now… I don't want this night to end.

Morning comes Halil and Mualla have another session in the shower before Halil drops her off at the mansion only to be seen by Selim.

Selim grabs her and brings her downstairs to the laundry room: Who were you with and what were you doing with him?

Mualla: I'm not your property…. I have my own life.

Selim: As long as your in this house your mine.

Mualla: Get over yourself….. you have a wife…. Now that I've found a real man….I no longer need to lower myself to your needs….. I'f you will excuse me I have work to do.

Selim: you little trollop… it's over only when I say it's over.

Nazar couldn't help overhearing grabs Mualla

Nazar: You have to tell me what's going on….you really have broken up with Selim or are you just playing with him to get more gifts?

Mualla: After last night Selim would be more trouble than he's worth.

Nazar: What about last night…. Did you and Mr Halil get together?

Mualla: Let me just say …. When a good man comes into your life…. You just know it….I'm not going to let my foolish past jeopardize this opportunity.

Nazar: Mualla….. did you fall in love last night?… You have to tell me more…. We're like sisters.

Mualla: Then sister… please don't say or ask anymore….. I don't need Selim going to Halil and saying anything about me….. this is my opportunity to get a good man…. Please don't mess it up for me with idle chatter….. let's do our work as though nothing has happened.

At the breakfast table Kerem makes an announcement

Kerem: Sevda and I decided last night… that we will have a very simple wedding in the vineyard.

Nuzkhet: Kerem….son…. She will be your wife…she needs to be introduced properly… we need to have a proper wedding.

Kerem: Aunt….I mean mother… I have spoken…. It is Sevda's wish….. we will honor her wishes.

Aliye: wow… Fevziye…..are you seeing what I'm seeing….this house will no longer be the same…..Kerem is respecting his wife's wishes.

Selim: Are you saying the wedding table will be set in the vineyard grove…. What will our partners say?

Kerem: They won't have anything to say….since they won't be invited…. This is our wedding…. Only family and staff will be guests.

Nuzkhet: Kerem….. I understand your wishes…. But why put Sevda in a position to be talked about….. Can you at least agree to and introduction party after you return from your honeymoon …. Sevda….. can you get him to bend a little?

Sevda looks to Kerem: Kerem I know that your doing this for me…..but your mother has a point… as your wife I will need to do my part….. I know this will not be the first or last time I will need to attend such events or parties….. I need to learn how to fit into your world.

Aliye: Who would've thought Aunt Nuzkhet would compromise….. Fevziye… we need to take lessons from Sevda.

Feyziye: What kind of lessons?

Aliye: How to get your husband to love you the way Kerem loves her…. I will only marry someone that will love me the way Kerem does Sevda.

Kerem meets with Halil to understand the agreement Rana has made with the hotel builder- Jemal Theoman

Kerem: When Sevda and I were at the vineyards I heard rumblings as to what will be happening to the vineyards… Who is this Jemal Theoman?

Halil: I haven't been able to find much information on him….. other that he has made a sizable fortune building hotels….. what concerns me though is Rana….. A woman scorned is very hard to reason with.

Kerem: I never promised to marry her…. I only agreed to that engagement to secure the land rights…. I never loved her.

Halil: Now that you know that Aunt Nezkhet is your mother…. You need to know what she knows and what deals she has made over the years. You're king now … you need to act like one.

Kerem: Don't make me laugh… King my ass….. But you do have a point… I do need to take charge…. I couldn't have been so naive to all the secrets this family has… but I'm determined to find out…. With your help of course…. What happened after Sevda and I left last night… I couldn't help not notice you dropping off Mualla this morning…. Did you take advantage of her?

Halil: It was more like she took advantage of me… I still don't know what to make of it.

Kerem: You know she's a tease…. She has my dumbass brother in law wrapped around her finger.

Halil: That's interesting….. but I'm not Selim….but she got my attention

Kerem: If your going to continue seeing her don't make to obvious…. And for god's sake don't just fuck her and throw her away like you normally do…. I don't need to explain that to Sevda.

Halil: You're not even married and you're already henpecked.

Kerem: Sevda treats all the staff like family….. so I don't need that wandering dick of yours to upset my happiness…. Let's get back to business….. Should we set a meeting with This Mr Theoman?

Mrs Dilber again meets with Jamal Theoman

Mrs Dilber: The authority in the mansion appears to be on shaky grounds… It turns out that Master Kerem is Madame Nuzkhet biological son. Master Kerem was furious with her for keeping this secret for so many years.

Theoman: So Nuzkhet had the child

Mrs Dilber: You knew Madame Nuzkhet was pregnant….. she never mentioned that to me….that explains why she on gave Master Kerem special treatment.

Theoman: I need you to get me a hair sample of the boy

Mrs Dilber: Do you know of the farmer she got pregnant to?

Theoman: just get me the hair sample…. I may get even better leverage for my quest with this information
