My Turkish love rat’s secret hotel romps

As soon as Sara laid eyes on hunky Hasan during a safari tour, she was smitten. She quickly moved over to Turkey with her daughter, and she and Hasan married in a beautiful ceremony and had a son together. But flirty Hasan always had an eye for the ladies and Sara couldn’t shake off the suspicion that her hunk in trunks was giving someone else an eyeful. Then one day, she was devastated to discover saucy messages between Hasan and another woman, who was begging to ‘meet up at the hotel again’. Humiliated and betrayed, Sara told Hasan she was leaving and packed her bags and moved her children back to the UK. The now-single Lothario strenuously denies Sara’s cheating allegations and when approached stated: “None of this is true. Sara is crazy when she’s had a drink.”
