22 years ago, Hülya, the daughter of powerful Aegean lord Ali Hikmet, ran away with Erdem on the day of her wedding. They were caught by Ali Hikmet Bey and Erdem was killed, along with Ali Hikmet's own son Ahmet. Hülya's baby (Zeynep) however was saved by Zülfikar (Ali Hikmet's stable man), who claimed her as his own. Hülya was secretly married to an Arab, and her father took revenge by killing his sister's husband Ismail who was responsible for the death of Ahmet.

Zeynep challenges Ali Hikmet, leading to his anger. Gökhan intervenes, causing tension for Banu, who dreams of marriage with him. Gökhan's weakness for Zeynep disturbs Banu's ambition and jealousy. Gökhan forgets a letter to Zeynep, leading to Gülizar's suspicions. Ali Hikmet loses money and goes crazy, angering Selçuk, who secretly released valuable horses for revenge.

Really believing that Zeynep is guilty, Ali Hikmet blocks the bus and prevents Zeynep and her father from leaving. Banu throws a nervous breakdown over the obstacles.
