— Mari is looking for a husband? — She can’t do that: I haven’t given her a divorce. First of all. Second of all, I brought you all here to make sure of one thing: the rules are the same for everyone, and we’ll play honestly. And don’t try telling me you feel nothing for her. Let’s settle it like men. So who dares to stand against me?
Three people exchange grim looks, glaring at each other—and it becomes clear to me: there are rivals.
— Then we’ll decide it in the ring!
— Great, Sobolev, that’s your idea. Mari will be with whoever stays standing. Everyone agrees?
I decided to start over: a different house, a new job, a new man… But the past doesn’t let go—it barges into my life without asking. Only now I won’t let it control me anymore: from now on, I set the rules, and I choose how to live.
