December 2003: Decided

"By collar… Do you mean you want Erdogan to follow your words like a dog?" 

It seemed that Raeliana had yet to fully recognize the essence of what Grego was compelling her to do. Her eyes were still calm, but she sounded breathless. Her hands had stopped fidgeting though her insides were trembling with anger. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. 

Raeliana was aware of Erdogan and Grego's relationship. However, she had no prior meeting with Grego for the reason that he had refrained from associating himself with anyone who wasn't beneficial to him -- was what she was told by Erdogan's guards.

Among the O' Connor family and their confidants, only the guards were generous enough to acknowledge her role as Erdogan's lover. All of the information that she knew about his family came from the escorts who had nothing better to do.
