Natasha tensed up inside when she saw her husband’s niece, Olesya. The girl, avoiding eye contact and sniffling, handed over a folded sheet of graph paper and quickly ran away.

Marina sped down the street as if on wings, her heart overflowing with joy from unexpected freedom. A spring breeze playfully tousled her hair, and the sun gently touched her skin. She decided to surprise her mother-in-law, Anna Petrovna, and visit her unannounced. Approaching the old Khrushchyovka, Marina paused for a moment. The peeling paint […]

Tanya lovingly surveyed her kitchen—tiny, but so cozy and bright. She remembered how not so long ago, she cried, clinging to the sleeve of her deeply loved husband, when she learned that he had a teenage son from another woman and that he had been meeting the mother of his child for years.
