Now, after studying for seven years, she was set to graduate but she lacked funds to pay her final year fees. Now, she had to double the number of part time jobs that she took.
As the two walked out of the university, Leyla's phone rang.
''Ozge, it's my dad. Let me answer this''
''Go ahead'' Ozge walked to the side and waited for Leyla to receive her call.
''Ozge, what do to?'' Leyla walked to her after ending the call.
''What is it?''
''My father needs me to go to the apple farm with the workers. A fruit company is coming to check the apples, maybe they might sign a contract with us''
''That's good news Leyla. Go ahead''
''How about this? Since I decided to treat you, take this. Get something to eat'' Leyla removed a few dollars from her purse and gave it to Ozge.
''No need. I can fend for myself''
''Ozge, you still need to pay for the bus card fare, right? Just take it. You always give me money when I need it. Don't make me angry'' Leyla forced the money into Ozge's hand and ran across the street.
Ozge looked at the $100 in her hands and smiled. She turned and walked to the bus stop to get a bus home.
….
City Y Airport.
At the private exit of the City Y Airport, a private jet landed. A couple soon got out of the jet and a host of bodyguards greeted them.
''Welcome home, Young Master''
''I didn't know such special treatment awaited us'' the woman beside the man said.
''This is because you are carrying the heir of the Almendez family. Let's go, my grandfather must be waiting for us''
''Mm''
The man held the woman's hand and got down from the jet with her. They walked in the middle while the bodyguards protected them.
…..
Ozge was eating her lunch when she received a call from someone looking for a courier. She answered the phone she used for her part time business immediately.
''Hello, this is Oz diligent worker at your service'' Ozge spoke.
''Hello, there is a package that I am calling you to take and deliver to someone. I will send the address to you. The payment and address to be delivered are all in the package''
''Okay, I will be there soon'' Ozge replied and hung up. She picked the sandwich and juice and ran out of the diner. She sat on her motorbike and rode towards the address.
…..
''Darling, are you alright? You seem uncomfortable'' Ferit asked his fiancée as they sat at the backseat.
''I don't know, but I feel stuffy. I can't breathe well''
''Then, let's take a break. Pull over, my fiancée is feeling sick. Honey, let's talk a little walk''
''Mm, thank you''
Ferit got down first and help his fiancée out of the car. The guards behind them also stopped and got down from their cars. As the couple walked the sidewalk, they followed behind.
…
Ozge got down from her motorbike and looked at the abandoned factory that her GPS had led her to. She frowned as she walked towards the building.
''What kind of place is this?''
Ozge saw the package on the top of a metal barricade. There were stairs leading to the place.
''Whoa, what kind of place is this? Why would they put a package on top of here?'' Ozge climbed the stairs and picked the brown box and got down. Her payment was indeed taped against the paper. She didn't look inside to check what it was as it was against her client's rights.
After checking the address of the place, she tied the box behind her seat and rode off.
….
''I feel a lot better now. Ferit, let's go back'' Nana said to Ferit.
''Yes, my love'' Ferit turned and they started walking towards their car. Out of nowhere, a jet flew towards them and gunshots could be here.
''Everyone take cover…'' the leader of the bodyguards yelled and the bodyguards rushed forward to protect Ferit and Nana.
''Ferit, what is happening? Why is the jet shooting at us?''
''Nana, hurry, let's get into the car first. they must be the enemies of my grandfather'' Ferit led Nana into the car with the help of the guards. The driver who was already in the car started the car and drove off.
The jet followed, still firing shots at their car. the bodyguards also fired back.
….
Ozge was nearing the intersection when a truck sped pass her. It almost knocked her over and she swiftly dodged it and stopped, insulting the driver.
''Is this driver crazy? How can you drive like this on a high speed road? Wait till I catch up with you. You will know that I am not easily bullied...''
Ozge suddenly heard a crash and her body tensed up. She got down from the motorbike and ran to the intersection. What she saw made her blood turn cold.
The truck had just ran over a black car and crashed it. As if that wasn't enough, Ozge looked up and saw the jet landing so she quickly ran to hide between the roadside plants. Her body was shaking as she watched.
A man got down from the jet first and stretched forth his hand, helping a woman whose face Ozge couldn't make up. A few other cars drove to the spot and got down, shooting the men in the two other cars that followed the car that the truck had just crashed.
Ozge covered her mouth to avoid making any sound that could give her away. Her body turned cold when she heard the man speaking.
''Boss, I almost ran over a motorbike. The person couldn't have gotten far from here'' the truck driver spoke, making the woman and her entourage turn towards Ozge's motorbike.
Ozge's face drained of all colour. She searched her pockets and looked for her phone but realised it was in her bag that hanged around the motorbike.
Ozge cussed. She was so short on luck.
''Find whoever that rider is''
''She is a woman, she couldn't have run far since she is a little thick''
''Did you hear that?'' the woman spoke as she looked towards the plants. ''We already know who you are, so it's better to come out. In any case, you are a death person already. Might as well, sped up the process.
Ozge stepped backwards into the thick plants. She removed her sneakers and hid them before she crawled through the thong plants. Her body got pierced and her legs hurt.
The men started searching while the woman smoked. Ozge closed her eyes when she saw one of the men searching around where she hid. She held her breath and lost all hope.
The woman's phone rang and she answered it. ''Hello, big boss. Alright, as for the target, they are as good as dead. The baby will definitely not be born. The mother is already dead, but we've encounter a pest. We want to take care of it… alright, we will leave right away''
The man was about to divide the branches when the woman gave a new command.
''Stop searching, let's go''
''But, what if she calls the police?''
''Then she will become the suspect and she will be exposing herself. My suggestion for you is to find a place and hide for the rest of your life. Finding you isn't that difficult but since I am in a good mood, I shall spare you. Your things are with us, we will come to you if you don't keep your mouth shut'' the woman said and took the bag from one of the men.
The jet took off and the men drove their cars away. It was after a few minutes and when she was sure that there was no one that Ozge dared to come out of the plants. She picked her sneakers and walked out to the road. She was about to take off when she heard a faint voice.
''Please, save… save my baby'' Nana said softly making Ozge to freeze on the spot.
Ozge's body was shaking. She tried to ignore the woman and took another step but the woman spoke again.
''Please, she is… she is just innocent. Please, don't go away''
''Assh, damn you my conscience…'' Ozge cussed and turned towards the car. She squatted and looked at the car. The man in the back seat was already unconscious and the woman was barely hanging in.
''My baby is about to come out'' Nana said.
''The car is damaged. I don't think I will be able to help you''
''Call the ambulance or the police'' Nana held Ozge's hand.
Ozge's hand quivered with fear as she remembered what the woman said before leaving.
''I…''
''Please, I promise you, my fiancé's family will protect you''
''I don't have a phone; how do I call for help?''
''My bag should be under the seat; you can find it there''
Ozge hurried to the other side and saw the handbag. She managed to pull it out after a lot of struggle.
Ozge looked at the phone and frowned, ''the screen is damaged, I can barely see it''
''There is no password on it, just call the ambulance, I can't hold on anymore''
''Okay''
