After he returned from lunch, Can got busy working on the finishing touches for an ad campaign. He wanted this one to be perfect. He wished he could have Sanem look at everything and tell him if something needed to be changed but he was afraid someone would learn she had helped him.

After a while, he had a few minutes and took the chance to call Sanem.

"Can."

"Sanem, I miss you."

She smiled even though he couldn't see her. "I miss you also. How has your day been?"

"Not bad, I went to lunch with Metin and Huma tried to enter the agency as soon as we left."

"What is she up to now?"

"I don't know but Polen has been calling and texting me, I haven't answered any of her messages, she called Deren to try to get her to put me on the phone."

"What could she possibly want?"

"She told Deren that Huma had called her and was up to her old tricks. Polen told Deren that she had something really important to tell me. Metin thinks I should call her, what do you think?"

She hated saying her next words "Maybe you should, I mean, you already know that Huma is up to something, what Polen says should give you a little more to go on."

"You could be right, I am just tired of telling her the same thing over and over."

"what is that Can?"

"That I love you."

"Would you feel better about calling her if I were nearby and can hear what she says."

"Evet. Can I try to come to the farm tonight?"

"I would love for you to come to the farm but I won't be there."

"Oh! Where are you?"

"I am still at the mountain hut!"

"Ah, then I am on my way." He hung up the phone, looked around for Deren but couldn't find out so he finally found Leyla and told her he was leaving for the day. Leyla smiled knowing he was probably going to meet Sanem.

Can kept his eye on the road, looking for someone that might be following him. When he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary he headed to the hut. Hewas trying to be careful but had told Sanem to wait inside just in case he was followed.

When he arrived, he went and held onto her for a few minutes, smelling her neck, playing with her hair and placing kisses all over her face.

"Can."

"I don't want to stop Sanem, I need to be as close to you as I possibly can."

"I feel the same but let's talk about what Polen is doing and get that over with then we can hold on to each."

Can told her about the messages that Polen had left, saying she had something important to tell him, to please call her, Huma was trying to get her to come back to Istanbul."

"Call her Can, let's get this over with. Maybe she is telling the truth, I mean, she knows you will never forgive her if she starts playing games with Huma again."

He shook his head, dialed her number but placed the call on speaker so Sanem could hear.

Polen picked up "Finally, Can, I have been trying to reach you for days."

"Polen, I am not interested in playing games or having a conversation, just say what you need to say but let me forewarn you if you are up to playing games with Huma again, I will never forgive you."

"I know, Can." she stopped talking and cleared her throat "Huma called me begging me to come back to Istanbul, that you needed me. I know it's a lie, even though Sanem has left you, you have never wanted me the way you want and need her. I told her I was not going to let her use me again and hung up. She has called and left me several messages, some not very nice."

"Ok, Thanks for the warning."

"Can, that is not what you need to hear, that is just the final catalyst to why I called you. This is hard to say." she paused again and then started "Please, hear me out, I am going to tell you about a conversation I overheard, I don't know if it is true but I believe it will explain some things. Huma has made some comments before, that I couldn't understand, things she said that didn't make sense or add up, after heaing this conversation they made more sense." "Polen, please get to the point."

"Sorry, this is just hard and remember, I am not sure if it is true." she said "I was out to dinner with my father and his new wife, when I heard some others talking about Huma it peaked my interest and I listened in on their conversation. They were talking about the recent death of a man named Leonardo Moretti, when one of the women stated that she had dated him when she was younger, that is until he took a business trip to Turkey and met Huma Divit. Supposedly, even though Huma was married they had a torrid affair, one that lasted at least four years. Both of them married, until Huma took her youngest son and left to go live in Switzerland. Apparently the man's wife had found out about the affair and threatened to divorce him. Huma thought that he would divorce his wife and marry her so when Aziz found out about the affair he ended their marriage." she stopped to take a deep breath.

Can hadn't said a word, Sanem watching him because she knew he would become angry after Polen finished her story.

"Please go on." he simply stated.

"The man did not leave his wife, he truly loved her, Huma was just an obsession. He was though Huma's true love. She had made comments about her true love and I never understood until I heard this story. But, Can that is not why I thought you needed to hear this story. It seems the man tried to find Huma for a while. He and his wife never had children and he wanted to take custody of the son."

She became silent. Can's face was red, the things going through his head, he finally spoke so softly even Sanem could hardly hear him.

"That would mean Emre is not my baba's son."

"Evet, but as I said I don't know if this is really true, but I thought you should know. "

"Thank you Polen." he said and hung up the phone, he hung his head and Sanem hugged him as tightly as she could. They sat that way for a few minutes.

"If this is true, it would explain so many things, why she left with Emre and left me with Baba. She was always so obsessed with Emre and I couldn't understand why she loved him more than me. Now, I know, it is because she never loved my baba but did love Emre's."

"Can, we need to find out if this is true before we jump to conclusions. Call your baba and ask him about the affair."

Can gathered his thoughts and finally dailed his baba's number.

"Can, son, are you ok?"

"I need to ask you a question and I want and need the truth."

"Ok." Aziz wasn't sure what was going on but he could tell Can was very upset.

"Did you leave Huma because she had an affair with a man named Leonardo Moretti?"
