A Trilogy "Against the Odds" Book 2

Coincidences

Can and Sanem decided to stay at Aziz's house and would go the their home in the morning. After the twins were put to bed Sanem had a routine each night to have time to herself in the Hot tub. It was also a time that Mihriban, Aziz and her would just have some small talk about life. Can brought her out a glass of wine and sat in the lounger with his glass of whiskey. Things were quite as Sanem layed her head back on the edge looking up at the stars trying to whine down from the day. "So how did the presentation go Can and Poppa?"......."It went really great. We may just have the Campaign"......"Good, what is this account about."......"Its a big makeup Account."......."What brand?" Sanem asked as she took a drink from her wine. "Volkan Cosmetics" She began to choke. Aziz looked over at Can knowing why. It got quite again. Then after a few minutes "That's a coincidence. You know that meeting that I had on Monday. It was with them."......."Really" Aziz replied "Yep" taking another sip from her wine. "What did they want Baby?"......."Will you bring the bottle of wine and refill my glass and than I tell you." Can went in grabbed the bottle than sat down on the edge of the hot tub and refilled Sanem's glass. "Well, they made me a proposition about expanding my business." Can looked over at his dad and they both nodded to one other. "Sanem baby, Dad, Emre and I know. He told us privately in the office behind closed doors. He didn't want to but, with you and I being partners he told us everything."......."Really, he told you everything"......"Yes, everything and I told him I was going to do a complete background check on him and his wife and if you decide to go through with it. I will do the same to each and every employee that is hired to protect you and your secret formulas. I told him if he fucks with you or I he will have all hell to pay that I wasn't playing any games" Than Aziz added "Daughter, we went to College together back in that day and became very good friends. I even told him the same thing."......."Thank You both for looking out for me. I just don't know what to do right now"........"There is no pressure here. Take your time. You and I will check everything out together and than you can make your decision. Baby, this is mainly your business. I am here to help you when you need it. Just like you help me with mine. What ever you decide you will have both Dad and my full support. You can rest assure that we won't let them or anyone screw you over."......."So you promise me that you will check them out first."......."I promise! Tell you what, you and I will can start the background check on them tonight. That way you can see it for yourself. When you are ready. We will go upstairs stairs and sit up in bed and do the research."....."Let's go now" She get out of the hot tub and pulls on Can's arm to get going. "Goodnight night you two." Aziz says "Goodnight Poppa."........"Good Luck on that research see you in the morning". Watching Sanem drag Can up the stairs and laughing at them at the same time. "Those two are something else aren't they Aziz"......."Yes they are. Come on Love lets go to bed." They turned off the lights and headed up to their room for the night.

In the morning Can came down carrying Deniz and Ates in his arms. Mihriban and Aziz were up making coffee and preparing breakfast. "Good Morning Son! Did you find out anything last night."......."Dad, I checked twice after Sanem fell asleep and found nothing. There is no criminal activity, nothing filed against them. They have even donated many funds to nonprofit organizations. I honestly feel they are trust worthy. There were even good comments that clients of his Makeup Business blog,  highly recommending people to try their products and how nice they were to deal with. That came from the Modeling Agencies as well as the Movie Industry."......."That's good to know. What does Sanem think now?"......"She fell asleep half way through the search and is still sleeping. We will talk later at home."......."Can, its nice that you let her sleep. She doesn't stop the whole time you are at the Mainland. I don't know how she does it. Working all day then coming home to these two monkeys. She definitely has her hands full when your not here."......"I know. I think when we go home later. I'm going make her relax and do whatever she wants to and I'll take care of Deniz and Ates that way she can have time to herself."......"That's good. You let her have her alone time. We women need it once in awhile"........"Believe me Mom, I just found out about that recently."......."Good". Can kicked Mihriban out of the kitchen to take time for herself too after all she was taking care of his babies too when Sanem had to work. Mihriban just smiled at him and thought to herself [wow, what happened to him] as she went out to the garden to pick some flowers. Aziz and Can took care of the twins and managed to cook breakfast too.

Can and Sanem returned home later in the morning telling her that the day was to do what she wanted and that he had Deniz and Ates. If she wanted anything to let him know and he would bring it to her. She decided to take Albatross for a ride and would come back and do the same for Phoenix. She worked in her shed for awhile. Eventually making her way down to the lagoon to relax to the sound of the waterfalls. It had been so long since she was able to do that. Laying down on the flat Boulder she fell asleep due to the serenity that she had. Can had put the twins down for their nap. He went to the walkway to check on Sanem and saw that she was asleep. He then took a closer look at the falls and noticed that they appeared to be just like the one on the farm and the one in Sanem's drawing split in two half way down. Asking questions to himself "What is with all the coincidences? First the Volkan's, then finding Sanem's lost necklace, the farm possibly still owned by her and these waterfalls? What do they mean?." He went back up into the his office to do some more research and call Metin to have him check things for him. Only hoping that it will all come together soon whatever these coincidences are leading up too.
