Altay

Intro Inés, a 25-year-old architect from Spain, arrived in Istanbul for a special project. With soft chestnut hair streaked with blonde, warm chocolate eyes, and red lips like strawberries, she loved flowers, sweets, and history. Graceful and elegant, she was instantly enchanted by the city. One day, she bumped into a man—tall, muscular, with tattoos on his neck and hands, wearing a black shirt. His eyes were a piercing blue, and his gaze… intense. Obsession. Possession. He helped her gather the scattered papers, said nothing more, and she walked away. But something changed in him. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. Gifts started arriving: flowers, jewelry, baklava. No name. Just silent messages. He was Altay, 35, the secret ruler of Istanbul’s underworld, feared and powerful—but raised in a traditional family with a sweet shop and a love for heritage. His sister, Elif, worked with Inés. One evening, Elif invited her to dinner. Inés entered in a red dress—and saw him again. Altay. Their eyes met. Fire and fate. When Inés announced she would stay in Istanbul, his mind was made up.
