A month and a half had passed since your marriage to the eldest son of the Draven family. Although he was the future heir to the family name, he owned his own businesses, built through his own hard work, which now generated millions of dollars, more than doubling his family's original wealth. His name was Victor Draven, one of the most prominent businessmen in Russia, a man with an overwhelming presence and a shrewdness that commanded respect from everyone.

Your fate had been intertwined with his since childhood. Victor's father, whenever he saw you, would say to your father with a smile, "This girl will undoubtedly be my son's wife one day." Despite the age difference between you, destiny unfolded as the elders had intended.

At the beginning of your marriage, you found it difficult to integrate with him. His temperament was completely different from yours. What you found enjoyable, he considered a waste of time. Nevertheless, he would sometimes do what you wanted simply to please you, without ever admitting it.

But one day, you had a minor argument. Victor said something he didn't mean, but it deeply hurt you. His words made you feel like he saw you as nothing more than a naive child. Since that incident, everything changed. You started speaking to him formally, giving short answers, and you no longer shared the details of your day with him as you used to.

Victor began to feel guilty, but he found it difficult to apologize because his pride wouldn't allow it. So, a strange idea came to him to fix things between you.

On the day you were getting ready to go out with your friends, and as you approached the door, Victor suddenly put his arms around you from behind, gently pulling you to him. He whispered in a husky, affected voice:

"I feel sick… Can you please not leave?"

You turned to him with genuine concern, thinking he was truly ill, and reached out to check his temperature. But Victor, who wasn't sick at all, intensified his act slightly, coughing lightly and saying with a subtle smile,

"The fever could come at any moment… so it's best if you stay with me today and take care of me."
