"EVERYONE OUT!" Mehmed yelled looking straight into my eyes and everyone started rushing out.

"Hünkarım," Ayşe Hatun fell on her knees infront of Mehmed who didn't even spare her a glance. "Save me, Halime Sultan is punishing me for no reasons." She cried out. This bitch.

"AGHAS." He yelled and Ayşe smirked at me while I stare at her blankly. I just want to punch her face, that's all I ask for. Is it too much to ask for? I don't think so.

"Didn't you hear your Sultana? What is this Hatun still doing here?" He asked and Ayşe gasped as she stare at him bewilder.

"Take her away. NOW." The aghas bowed and dragged her out as she cried and scream on about how innocent she was.

I also started walking towards the door when Mehmed grabbed my arm. "And where do you think you are going?"

"Hünkarım, didn't you just asked everyone to go out." I replied and he pursed his lips in a thin line trying not to burst out.

"Halime." He gritted out.

"Yes, Hünkarım." I replied with a blank face and he growled before pressing me on the near by pillar before smashing his lips on mine. Hard and bruising.

I slipped my hands inside his hair pulling him closer and returning the kiss in the same manner.

He pulled away leaving me breathless. "Don't ever call me that."

"Call you what?" I asked already knowing what he meant just to annoy him.

"Call me by my title. It's for others, not for my wife." He replied before pressing me tightly to his body, wrapping his arms around my waist. "You don't want my aunts here? Is that it? Ok. They will come only to attend functions and parties but they won't stay."

"You don't want those concubines in the favourites room? Fine. Demote them from their ranks and make them into a normal concubine. Infact, I, Sultan Mehmed, on this very moment dismisses his whole Harem." He said and I stared at him in shock.

What in the world is going on.

Am I dreaming?

That's it.

Yes.

I'm dreaming.

"You don't believe me? Ok? SUMBUL AGHA!" He yelled for him and Sumbul agha opened the door before coming in. I tried to pull away from Mehmed but he held me tighter.

"From this very moment, I, Sultan Mehmed Khan dismiss his whole Harem. If the women in the Harem wants to go, let them go, if they want to marry let them marry." He ordered and Sumbul agha bowed and nodded with a smile while the other concubines gasped and look at us with jealousy written all over their face.

Sumbul agha walked out closing the Harem door behind him and Mehmed lean in close to me. "Is my Sultana happy now?" He asked as he placed a light kiss on the nape of my neck and I shuddered as electricity pass though my body.

"Very." I whispered back.

"So, am I forgiven?" He asked but I shook my head and he frowned.

"Nope."

"Well what must I do to make my Sultana's forgive me?"

I pulled away from him. "Nothing. Just go to your chamber and sleep. My son and I will sleep in my chamber." I replied.

"Ok." He replied before picking me up bridal style taking me off guard.

I slapped his chest. "Put me down, Mehmed. NOW!"

He just shook his head before kicking the Harem door opening. "Bring Şehzade Osman to our chamber." He ordered ignoring my protest as he carried me all the way back to out chamber.

He threw me on the bed and climb on it before I could move, caging me between his arms. "I'm sorry." He whispered to me as he lean his forehead on mine.

"I shouldn't have yelled at you or said all those words. I'm sorry." He apologized as he stroke my cheeks with his thump and I lean into his touch.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have yelled at you and definitely don't have any rights to say in your family matter. After all, Orhan is your brother." I replied as I mean it. Every single word. I really shouldn't have said such words to him.

"No no no. You have all the rights to Halime. You are my wife. My partner, my soul, my world, my love, my friend. Nobody is more precious and important to me than you." He placed a kiss on my forehead as he slipped his fingers in my hair before pulling me closer to him by my hair and pressing my lips on his.

Someone knocked on the door and I immediately pushed Mehmed off me before getting off from the bed while Mehmed groaned in disappointment and glare at the door.

"Enter." I said after arranging my disheveled clothes. All thanks to Mehmed.

Gülnihal entered with Osman and handed him to me and bowed to me before walking out but not before winking at me with a playful smirk.

I got on the bed before placing Osman infront of me and lean into Mehmed who pulled me close to his chest and wrapped his arms around Osman and I.

He placed a kiss on my forehead. "Good night my love." Before placing another on Osman's head. "And you too, my wife stealer." I chuckled at the nickname.

Sleep consumed us soon and we fell into a slumber sleep.

In the morning, Mehmed went to his work like always while I and Osman went to Harem and wait for Ayşe Sultan there as she was going to come here from the old palace after I asked Mehmed and he instantly allowed her.

"Attention. Ayşe Sultan." The door man announced and all the concubines got in line while I stood at the front with Osman in my arms.

Ayşe walked towards us with a big grin on her face. "Halime Sultan." She bowed.

"Welcome Ayşe. I hope you didn't have any trouble on the way?" I asked.

"No, Sultanam. Thank you for everything." She said and I nodded.

"Şehzade Osman. My dear nephew, how are you?" She cooed in a baby voice.

"Osman. Meet your aunt. Ayşe Sultan." I said to Osman like he was going to really answer me. I handed Osman to Ayşe who carried him carefully.

"Come." I lead her inside before turning back to look at the concubines carrying her things. "Take the Sultana's things to her room and ask the chef to prepare prepare some hot meal for her."

They bowed and went away while I lead Ayşe inside.

She sat down on one of the couch with Osman on her lap who was looking up at Ayşe curiously.

Some concubines served her drinks and brought her food so I took Osman from him and handed him to Esma. "Bismillah." She whispered before digging in into her food.

Just then Ayşe Hatun limped in followed by some aghas. Her clothes and hair were all disheveled while dark circles surrounded her eyes.

She bowed to us as soon as she entered.

"Ayşe Hatun? Correct?" Ayşe asked and Ayşe Hatun nodded. "Yes Sultanam."

"Come closer." Ayşe Sultan asked and she walked closer.

"I don't think you are worthy enough to have the same name as me." Ayşe mocked. "From today your name is Rasha. After all, you got beautiful pair of eyes."

"As you wish Sultanam." Ayşe- ops I mean Rasha gritted out and Ayşe cocked her eyebrows at her.

"Thank you Sultan." Rasha thanked her before kissing the hem of her dress.

"You may leave." Ayşe dismissed her and I grinned at the scenario.

Rasha Hatun started walking towards the stairs when Firuze Kalfa, the new head Harem Kalfa stopped her. "Ayşe Hatun."

"Rasha." She gritted out. "From today my name is Rasha."

"Ok, whatever Hatun. Anyway where are you going?" Firuze asked.

"To my room." Rasha Hatun replied in an obvious tone.

Firuze cocked her eyebrows at her while the other concubines started laughing at her. "His Majesty, Sultan Mehmed Khan dismissed his Harem yesterday. From today, you are just a mere concubine so, you won't get your own room but you'll be staying here, with others and you'll be working like others? Understood?"

"What!?"

"Take off your jewelleries and clothes and put on this uniform." Firuze Kalfa threw a simple Harem uniform on her face which she caught it with a scowl.

"Firuze Kalfa," Ayşe called out. "I specifically ask for Rasha Hatun to draw warm bath for me in the Hammam."

"As you wish Sultanam." Firuze nodded with a smile while Rasha Hatun nodded with her jaw clenched.

Well, looks like it's going to be fun with Ayşe here. I hope she straighten this arrogant concubine.
