Forbidden Fruit: Sahika Deceitfully Marries Hasan Ali

After faking her death, Şahika Ekinci (Nesrin Cavadzade) pulls another prank in Forbidden Fruit : she manages to marry Hasan Alì Kuyucu (Erdal Özyağcılar) through a great deception, thanks to the help of her ally Ender Çelebi (Şevval Sam).

Şahika stages her death

In order to regain the shares that Hasan Ali took from her and Ender, Şahika tricks Mahmut Haznedar (Mert Altınışık), one of the businessman's henchmen, by making him believe that Kuyucu Sr. killed her father years earlier to build a shopping mall. Feeling betrayed, Mahmut helps Şahika fake her own death: after being given a drug that slows her heart, she pretends to die when Hasan Ali serves her a fruit juice full of medicines. Frightened, the businessman orders Mahmut to hide the body, thus starting the deception.

Ender discovers the truth

Thanks to the clues left behind, Ender becomes convinced that Hasan Ali killed Shaika and openly accuses him. His suspicions become certain when he receives a video of Mahmut hiding the presumed body. Shortly thereafter, however, Ender finds Shaika alive and well, along with her brother Caner (Baris Aytaç). The dark lady explains everything and pushes Ender to use the video to blackmail Hasan Ali into returning the shares.

The wedding by deception

Cornered, Hasan Ali agrees to return the shares, but explains that he cannot give away his 20 percent stake: according to the bylaws, he can only give it to a close relative or sell it. Without liquidity, Sahika convinces Ender to force the entrepreneur into marriage . On the wedding day, a dramatic turn of events occurs: after exchanging vows with a mysterious Mrs. Ekinci, Hasan Ali lifts the bride's veil and discovers that he has married the "revived" Sahika.

Having secured the shares thanks to the signed documents, Şahika triumphantly lets Ender enter the room. The furious businessman attempts to annul the wedding within twenty-four hours to avoid divorce proceedings, but Şahika won't make things easy for him.
