The Coj family legacy 2.

"Since that fateful day, Baris has embarked on a relentless quest for power, all while grappling with his deep-seated resentment towards women. His unwavering commitment remains the protection of his cherished family. The memory of how he once cruelly punished his own mother lingers, a stark reminder of the cold-hearted path he chose, heedless of the fact that she was the very person who had given him life."

After his mother left the room that day, he went to his father's body and cried, his tears a testament to the deep bond they shared. Then, with a heavy heart, he emerged from the room to find a sea of familiar faces already gathered. News had spread like wildfire through their tight-knit community, a testament to the love and respect his father had earned.

As he looked around, he spotted his grandfather, a distinguished man who had traveled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a board meeting at the renowned Aramco, one of the world's top companies. His grandfather was not just any employee; he was one of the esteemed shareholders in this global giant. The family's legacy of success and unity shone bright even in the midst of their grief.

Baris's trust in his mother had dwindled to near non-existence, a casualty of the heartbreaking betrayal he had witnessed. He had been through the worst kind of deception, one that had torn his family apart. In the wake of this turmoil, he found an unlikely ally in Mr. Benjamin, a figure shrouded in secrecy and known only to his late father.

Mr. Benjamin was no ordinary friend; he was the enigmatic kingpin of the Python Underground Empire, a clandestine world hidden beneath the surface of the city. Baris vividly remembered the day his father had introduced him to this enigmatic figure. It had been a clandestine meeting in a dimly lit room, filled with the faint smell of cigars and hushed conversations. His father had whispered something to Mr. Benjamin, a secret that had left Baris with more questions than answers.

Before his father's untimely demise, he had entrusted Baris with Mr. Benjamin's personal contact information, saved under the innocuous alias "KFC." It was a lifeline that Baris now clung to in his quest for the truth.

Late one night, shrouded in darkness, Baris summoned the courage to retrieve his father's old phone from its hiding place. His fingers trembled as he navigated to the cryptic contact. With a mixture of fear and determination, he composed a message and attached a video, a damning piece of evidence that could expose the depths of his mother's deceit.

After hitting the send button, he powered down his laptop, erasing any digital footprint of his actions. He couldn't afford to leave a trail that could be traced back to him. The weight of his secret actions bore down on him as he realized that he was now part of a high-stakes game he could barely comprehend.

The next morning, as the sun's first rays painted the room in soft hues, Baris prepared for the charade that had become his daily life. His mother's sweet voice beckoned him, but her words concealed a web of deceit. She claimed something had happened to his father, a claim that Baris couldn't help but question. Yet, he nodded and smiled, playing the part of the obedient son, his thoughts hidden behind a mask of innocence.

"Baby, something happened to your dad," she cooed, her eyes hiding secrets behind their warmth. "But I will explain later. For now, you will go with your uncle to pick your other uncle from the airport, okay, baby?"

Baris marveled at her ability to deceive, wondering why she wasn't on a bigger stage with her acting talents. He put on a brave face, smiling at her, hiding the turmoil within. As he left for the airport, he couldn't help but feel that he was caught in a web of secrets and lies, with Mr. Benjamin as his only ally in this mysterious world.
