Olga once again scrutinized her reflection. She was wearing an elegant dark blue dress that perfectly accentuated her figure. Pearly earrings—a birthday gift from her mother-in-law—added a special charm to her fair skin. Today, she had to look impeccable.

Stop saying nonsense! What do you mean, you won’t let me back in? Me!” Vitaliy stood in the doorway of his former apartment, looking surprised. “You’re the one talking nonsense now.

Dasha? What are you doing here?” Svetlana was so shocked she could barely speak. Thoughts were spinning in her head, and jealousy and resentment were boiling in her soul.
