“Beautiful diamond earrings?”
“Yes, a gift from my beloved man,” says Svetа, my best friend, looking at me with narrowed eyes.
“Even so—not a lover, but my beloved man! When will you introduce us?”
“Have you already met?” she says, carefully watching my reaction. “This is Vlad.”
“Vlad? My Vlad?”
“Yes, my friend. Sorry, it turned out this way. We love each other, and I’m waiting for his child. So don’t humiliate yourself and don’t cling to your husband—let him go. He’ll be much better with me.”
Thirteen years of a happy marriage, two children, a full house. My world falls apart when I find out that my best friend is pregnant by my husband—and that they’re in love.
