“Ferit and Arşe Face Heartbreak as Past Secrets Explode Shaking the Sancakzade Family”
Later, Azade visited Ferit in his room and asked why he was so affected by everything when, to him, it was supposedly just a game. She inquired whether he had spoken to Arşe, especially since she had left without money or protection, making her vulnerable out on the streets. Ferit didn’t say much—he was fuming silently—so Azade embraced him briefly and left.
As Ferit sat alone, memories of Arşe haunted him from every corner of the room. Elsewhere, Sinan received a call from Leman, He smiled and offered to pick her up the following day, to which she agreed. Müge soon walked in telling him that Jenk and his mother were preparing to leave. Sinan asked if she was sad about it and pulled her into a comforting hug.
Meanwhile, Arşe confided in Vedia that nothing had happened between her and Ferit, and she believed Ferit wouldn’t have reacted the way he did unless he had a reason. Tearfully, Arşe admitted she had fallen in love with Ferit and that their marriage had become real for her, but now he refused to talk to her, leaving her lost and heartbroken. Vedia comforted her as best as she could.
The next morning, while Ferit was out for a jog, Arşe confronted him, demanding they talk. Ferit coldly responded that the game was over and accused her of treating him like a f00l. Arşe confessed her love for him and said she couldn’t make sense of the situation. Ferit, however, claimed she was still lying.
Frustrated and hurt, Arşe reminded him that he was the first man she had ever been int!mate with, and she couldn’t believe he doubted her. Ferit dropped a bombshell—he had learned from Baha that she was once engaged to him and took money from him to start a new life with him, and that Baha had told him everything.
Arşe was stunned and asked what exactly Baha had said. Ferit repeated Baha’s claims: that they had once loved each other deeply, that he committed murd£r for her, and that Arşe left him to marry a rich man. Arşe denied all of it, insisting Baha was just a friend and not her fiancé, but Ferit mentioned a testimony she had signed.
Arşe clarified that Baha had gone to prison for protecting her from a rapi$t, and she had only tried to help him. Ferit demanded to know why she never told him—especially since he was a lawyer and could have helped. Arşe explained that she had planned to reveal everything when Baha escaped and came to there, but he threatened that returning to prison meant death.
Ferit lashed out, accusing her of standing by while Baha tried to k!ll him. Arşe was shocked and insisted she didn’t know anything about that, but Ferit argued that he had brought the man into their home, given him a job, and she remained silent. He felt completely betrayed, as if his life meant nothing to her.
Arşe defended herself, saying she gave Baha money and begged him to leave, but he didn’t listen. Ferit, now full of bitterness, told her that what she did was even worse than Hande’s betrayal. She had destroyed every bit of his hope, his future, his trust, and his love.
Arşe sobbed, realizing he wouldn’t hear her out. Ferit coldly called her ruthless and shameless, accusing her of sacrificing her “fiancé” and telling her to go save him if she cared so much—just as long as she stayed out of his life. Ferit drove off, consumed by his thoughts. Arşe tried to call Baha in desperation, blaming herself for not recognizing the damage he’d do, and breaks down in tears.
Meanwhile, Hussein came home to find Bakhtiyar waiting for him. Bakhtiyar questioned him about his conflict with Adnan and why Jesur had tried to k!ll Ferit. Hussein denied any knowledge of Jesur, but Bakhtiyar warned him that Adnan wanted revenge and that Hussein needed to tread carefully.
Bakhtiyar accused him of burying the truth and warned that if there were issues with the moneylenders, he needed to sort it out. After he left, Hussein looked visibly shaken. Bakhtiyar reported back to Adnan, who knew Hussein wouldn’t confess easily but instructed Bakhtiyar to continue monitoring him.
Back at the mansion, Azade entered the room as Adnan told her Arşe had left, so she could finally be at ease. Azade, however, said she always knew Arşe would go because their son never lied. Adnan noted that people in love can do irrational things. Azade then asked if he had been hiding the truth all these years because of his feelings for Fereya.
Adnan gave a half-smile and asked why she always redirected their conversation there. Azade challenged him, asking if he would have chosen a child with Fereya over becoming a Sancakzade. If Fereya had lived, would he have chosen her and left her alone. Adnan finally revealed that the child he had with Fereya had died, and he had carried that burden for a lifetime.
Azade broke down in fury, throwing things around the room. She reminded him that doctors had warned her pregnancy would endanger her life, yet he insisted on having children to compensate for his loss. Despite giving him two sons, he never appreciated her and had emotionally tormented her for years. Adnan yelled at her to be quiet and nearly struck her.
She refused, calling him a heartless brute and accusing him of being weak like men who turn to violence. Adnan asked why she stayed with him despite knowing he didn’t love her. Azade said he’d never understand—he had no soul. Instead of grieving properly for a lost child, he ignored those who were still alive. He never cherished his wife, never took responsibility, and in turn, lost everything.
In a rage, Adnan trashed the dresser before storming out. Azade picked up a shattered picture frame and wept uncontrollably. She later called Zümrüt and asked to meet up. Although Zümrüt was busy, she agreed they could take a walk that evening.
At the hospital, Hande opened up to her therapist. She said her mother confused obsession with love and had planted in her head from childhood that she was destined to marry Ferit. Even now, her mother insisted she would be Ferit’s wife, turning Hande’s dream into a family goal.
Ferit, overwhelmed by pain, spoke tearfully to his horse. He described feeling as if the world had collapsed and he was buried beneath it, unsure if anyone would ever come to save him. His soul, he said, ached beyond words. Meanwhile, Arşe who tried to book a one-way ticket to Istanbul is still crushed by Ferit’s hurtful accusations.
Back in therapy, the doctor asked Hande why she wanted revenge on Ferit and if she was jealous of Arşe. Hande confessed she once saw Ferit ki$sing Arşe and had wanted to k!ll them both in the moment. The therapist asked if she feared death or committing murd£r, but Hande said no—because she loved Ferit.
No woman could accept seeing the man she loved with someone else. She was confident that with her father’s help, things would soon end the way she wanted. The therapist asked what her father had done, but Hande said only the outcome mattered—Ferit had now seen Arşe’s true colors and would eventually return to her.
When the doctor asked if she truly loved Ferit, Hande said she was madly in love. Just then, Yaman called. The therapist asked who he was, and Hande said they had all grown up together. Yaman had always loved her and dreamed of marrying her, but to her, those were just empty fantasies.
At home, Yaman kept trying to reach Hande. Betül stormed in, questioning his concern for Hande. She revealed she had spoken to Zümrüt, who confirmed Hande was now seeing a psychologist. Yaman defended himself, saying he was just worried because Hande was unwell.
Betül laughed through tears, calling him f00lish. She said she had waited since yesterday for him to call, but he hadn’t. She reminded him he had promised her things, yet still put Hande first. Yaman insisted that Hande was just a friend, someone he couldn’t just abandon.
Betül, emotionally exhausted, said she knew from the beginning that he wouldn’t be able to let Hande go. She got engaged to him despite this, but now she couldn’t keep doing it. If he still dreamed of Hande, she was ready to bury her feelings for him. She removed the engagement ring, handed it back, and walked away—leaving Yaman stunned and torn.
