biography:
Ceyda grew up in a household where choices weren’t always the wisest. Her parents often prioritized their own chaotic lives over stability, leaving Ceyda to learn the value of careful decision-making at an early age. Cautious by nature, she was never naive—her family’s struggles didn’t allow for that. Between her father’s erratic job-hopping and her mother’s tendency to drink away their troubles, Ceyda often found herself neglected in the shuffle of their dysfunction.
The constant upheaval made her independent, but it also left her feeling like an outcast. The family moved frequently, always staying within Aurora Bay but fleeing mounting debts, bad landlords, or simmering tensions with neighbors. In such a small town, gossip spread quickly, and her parents’ reputation followed them everywhere. Despite her efforts to blend in, Ceyda carried the weight of their choices, quietly longing for a sense of normalcy she never seemed to find.
It was almost as if Ceyda attracted people who didn’t treat her well. Most of her friendships were painfully one-sided, and when she met her first boyfriend, the relationship quickly spiraled into chaos and toxicity. Manipulated into becoming dependent on him, she found herself trapped. Time and again, she tried to leave, but it always seemed to backfire. The strain of their financial struggles only added to the weight pressing down on her.
Despite the turmoil, Ceyda clung to one glimmer of hope: her dream of becoming a doctor. She had always been drawn to medicine, fascinated by the idea of healing and offering the kind of care she felt had been absent in her own life. Between the emotional battles and financial hardships, she began chipping away at her goal, pouring every spare moment into studying. She worked long hours at a part-time job to save for application fees and books, often sacrificing sleep to squeeze in extra study sessions.
When she finally got accepted into medical school, it was like stepping into a new world. The toxic relationship was still a heavy anchor, but Ceyda found solace in her studies. Learning gave her purpose, a vision of a life beyond the chaos. Slowly but surely, she started regaining her sense of self. Each lecture, each lab, and each exam felt like a step closer to reclaiming her future. Though the struggle wasn’t over, medical school became her lifeline and the foundation on which she began to rebuild her life.
Ceyda and her boyfriend’s story took an unexpected turn when, against the odds, they got married. At first, she believed their rocky past was behind them, and she focused on building a stable future while juggling her medical school responsibilities. He took on different jobs, claiming he was trying to rebuild his life after the scandal, and she hoped for the best.
His family had money, with shares in several businesses across Aurora Bay, but he was determined to succeed on his own. This decision left both him and Ceyda struggling to make ends meet. While she poured her energy into studying hard at medical school, his family secured him an admin job at one of the businesses they were invested in.
He was clever—clever enough to find his way into the company’s accounts and siphon millions of dollars. When Ceyda discovered what he had done, her heart sank. He begged her to run away with him, pleading for her loyalty. Instead, she made the difficult choice to report him to the police. By the time authorities began their investigation, he had already disappeared without a trace. Once again, Ceyda found herself inadvertently tied to a scandal she had no part in creating.
Now, as a medical resident, Ceyda is thriving. The long hours and demanding environment challenge her, but she finds fulfillment in the work. For the first time, she feels like she is building a life entirely on her own terms. While she’s still guarded after everything she has endured, she is starting to look forward to stepping out of her comfort zone, forming genuine connections, and embracing the person she has fought so hard to become.
