ARAFTA ( Enemies To Lovers )

first chapter

(Before we start you can imagine yourself as mercan🤭 and hope you guys enjoy the story ✨)

Ates impeccably dressed and radiating cold fury, stands before a large window. A nervous GUARD stands near the door.

​GUARD
Sir, she is here.

​ates
(A razor-sharp edge in his voice)
I need her dead. Today.

​GUARD
(Trying to sound confident)
Yes, sir. She's just a girl. What harm can she do?

​ates
(Turning slowly, his eyes lethal)
Whatever I want. She is finished. The way her father betrayed my family... no. I won't leave a single person from her bloodline to live peacefully.

​GUARD
Understood, sir. We will finish her and let you know the moment the job is done.

​ates
(A slow, chilling smile)
No. I will come there. I want to see the light leave her eyes myself.

​GUARD 1
(Stepping forward hesitantly)
Sir, isn't that... dangerous?

​GUARD 2
(Scoffing)
Dangerous? She is just a girl! What can she do to him?

(The other guards nod in agreement.)

​ates
(Pulls on his jacket)
Let's go then.

​(He takes three steps toward the door when his phone RINGS - a high-priority, distinctive tone.)

​ates
(Vexed, answering the call)
What is it?

(His face instantly becomes serious. He listens, then curses under his breath.)
Handle it. Keep the video line open. I want a live feed. Do not disappoint me.

​(He hangs up, frustration etched on his face. He cannot go.)

AIRPORT

​mercan (20s), sharp and alert despite her casual appearance, walks out of the airport terminal. She pulls her suitcase to a waiting taxi.

​The DRIVER, one of ates 's men, is looking too bland, too still. Mercan registers it but is too distracted by her plan.

​She opens the trunk (the trunk ) and places her luggage inside, then slides into the back seat.

​mercan
(Into her phone, cheerful and excited)
Hello, Eva? I'm here! I actually came without informing my dad-I'm going to give him a big surprise!

​DRIVER
(DRIVER'S POV - Looking in the rearview mirror, a cruel smirk appears on his face. He mutters, low enough that she can't hear.)

Oh, you are going to give the biggest surprise for your dad, all right.
​(He pulls out, but a few blocks later, he deliberately takes a wrong, isolated turn. Mercan is still engrossed in her call and doesn't notice until the car slows to enter an old, crumbling, dark parking structure.)

​mercan
(Suddenly noticing the dark surroundings, her tone changing instantly)

Hey! Where are you taking me? This isn't the right way!
​(She instantly reaches for the door handle and struggles to open it. It's locked.)

​mercan
(Louder, panic rising)
Open the door! Stop the car!
​The Driver says nothing. He simply pulls the car deep inside the parking lot, the sound of the engine echoing on the concrete.

​mercan is frantically fighting the locked door. Suddenly, a figure-another guard-appears outside and opens the door for her from the outside.

​mercan scrambles out, her bag still inside, her eyes wide with fear as she takes in the scene. Several guards have materialized, quickly forming a tight, menacing circle around her.

Mercan
(Backing away until she hits a concrete pillar, her voice trembling but holding firm)

Who are you? What is this? Why have you brought me here?

​A guard steps forward, holding a rugged laptop. The screen is active, showing Ates's face.

​ates
(His voice booming through the laptop's speakers, cold and condescending)

Oh, look. The poor little thing. I know you're scared, mercan . But after the betrayal your father committed against my family... no. I won't leave you alive.

​Marcan
(Her eyes flashing with fierce confusion, losing her fear to anger)
What are you talking about? What betrayal? My father never-

​ates
(Cutting her off, his voice hardening)
Silence!
