Şerif Fortuna's immediate family includes his mother, Şirin Fortuna, his late brother's wife, Zarifa Fortuna, and her two sons, Oruç and Esu. His controversial release from prison plunges the Black Sea region into renewed turmoil. Fueled by a thirst for revenge against Adil Koçari, Şerif runs a vast illicit business and orchestrates shady deals, making him a pivotal figure in the local crime and power structure. The conflict between the Fortuna and Koçari families is a legacy of revenge, betrayal, and tragic love stories, culminating in kidnappings, armed clashes, and even property destruction. Şerif Fortuna is deeply involved in this conflict. Esma Fortuna is his wife on paper, and she seeks a divorce because she was forced into the marriage. She maintains the marriage on paper and refuses to let him touch her. After his release from prison, she tries to divorce him, but he refuses, knowing that Adil Koçari loves her and that she might return to him. The story of Adil and Esma is one of the main reasons for the renewed conflict; it stems from their past relationship. They were deeply in love some twenty years ago, but the feud between their families forced them apart. Years later, their old feelings resurfaced, reopening old wounds and reigniting the conflict. Asma Fortuna was pregnant by Adil Kochari when she married Sherif Fortuna. After giving birth, Sherif Fortuna and Zarifa Fortuna sold the baby without Asma's knowledge, telling her the child had died. Adil was unaware that Asma was pregnant with his child and believed she had abandoned him to marry his enemy. Despite the years that have passed, he still loves her.
