A SULTANA'S LIFE| MAGNIFICENT CENTURY| ✔️

CHAPTER 19

I smiled widely as I walked down the Harem watching all of the girls shoot up from where they were sitting and bow to me in two rows.

"Congratulations sultana on the new prince," one of them said as I halted in front of her.

"Thank you Gulgum" I smiled at her before pointing at Cennet to start giving the girls their presents.

"Don't fight girls there's something for each and every one of you" I said when I saw them run over to the boxes filled with gold and silks other than objects like mirrors and small jewelry boxes.

"Don't take long, his majesty will be here any minute" I warned before walking out as their thank-yous echoed behind me making me smile.

I walked into the sultan's room standing at the very front with my children from eldest to youngest taking place. Emily stood beside Mourad holding Orhan beside her Malin holding Kaya and Karla stood last with Kasim in her arms.

"MAKE WAY, HIS MAJESTY AHMED KHAN HAS ARRIVED" I couldn't help the grin that took over my features as I watched him stride in with a huge grin on his lips proud of his newest victory.

We all bowed as he walked in through the doors, he walked over to me first stopping in front of me giving me his hand for me to kiss the back of which I did before standing back up straight.

"Welcome back Ahmed" I smiled widely at him, he placed his hand on my cheek for a second before moving on to Othman.

After he greeted all of our children he walked over to our newest addition to the family smiling widely.

"Kasim, my squirrel," he said taking him from Karla and holding him close to his body looking down at him with proud eyes.

I looked to the side my eyes meeting Mehmed pasha's eyes, he was a new pasha but he's already showed his loyalty to me. I could see that he wanted to talk to me about something.

I beckoned Cennet over to me as Ahmed gave his full attention to the children.

"Tell Mehmed pasha to meet me in the private gardens after this," I told her, she bowed before going over to him to whisper the information.

I looked in front of me to see Ahmed playing with Mourad's hand as the young boy talked about his sword training with his eldest brother Othman.

I couldn't help but smile at the sight of the two of them talking.

After greeting Ahmed I excused myself saying that I was still sore from the birth, I left the children with Karla, Malin, and Emily and left with Cennet straight to the private gardens to the usual spot where I met all of the loyal people on my side, this spot is one of the few that weren't in view of Ahmed's terras.

"Mehmed Pasha" I greeted as I reached him, he bowed in respect.

"Sultana thank you for meeting me, I have very important information to tell you," he said eagerly making me raise an eyebrow.

"The campaign went on very smoothly and thank Allah our sultan wasn't injured once during the battles" I smiled happily at that.

"But on our way here he stopped at a house in the middle of the woods, he wouldn't let anyone go in with him even his personal guards and he stayed in the house for a couple of hours which caused our delay," he said making me frown a little.

"I stayed behind a little after he left and I spied on the house and saw that only a single woman lived in the house" I felt my world come crashing down on me. Ahmed was in a house alone with a single woman, what in the world could he be doing there? Doesn't he know that it's not aloud to form a relationship with a free woman? What about me? He seemed really natural with me? Doesn't he feel a little bit guilty?

I looked up at Cennet who seemed just as shocked as me at this information.

"If you want sultana I can take you there to see with your own eyes. I heard that his majesty will be going there again tomorrow" Mehmed pasha said snapping me back to reality.

"Yes I want to see with my own eyes" I nodded before walking away wanting to be alone as fast as possible but knowing Ahmed he'll probably send after me to spend the night with him because after all he just came back from the campaign.

And I was right because the second I walked into my chambers the girls told me that he sent after me and started preparing me for the night.

The entire time I couldn't stop the thought of him being with another woman, he touched her, he kissed her and he loved her. He betrayed my trust and tarnished my love like it was nothing.

He counted me like the rest of the Harem now, I don't matter to him anymore. He doesn't love me anymore.

I will make sure that this woman will pay for stealing my love from me. No one messes with me and leaves unharmed one way or another I will destroy her. She stole the love of my life from me. She stole my heart from me. She stole the man I love from me. I wouldn't be shocked if he bought her here to the harem one day and declared that she was his favorite now.

I will not stand to the side and watch as my life gets burned down right in front of my eyes. I will destroy anything and anyone who tried to harm my family and myself. I vowed once to protect my children from anyone and anything and so I will do, I will not let her steal their father away from them and I definitely won't let her get any power at all, I swear.
