The past is what makes me stay... At the age of 26, I already had a very wide reputation and career when the company sent me abroad to work as the managing director of the branch there. I have been in a relationship for over 9 years with a woman 3 years older than me. We've been in love since I was a naive 17-year-old girl. My family and hers were strongly against our same-sex relationship, but because we loved each other so much, we braved everything to be together.

Having spent many happy years together when she was willing to be rejected by her family to love me deeply, this made me extremely grateful and happy. My career gradually developed when my family and company arranged for me to be a CEO in Russia. I did not hesitate and decided to go to Russia to work. She was also willing to give up everything, family, stable job, and friends to follow me to Russia. When I came to Russia, my feelings for her seemed to fade over the years. I'm always the one who pays living expenses for me and her simply because I'm rich but I don't mind. She had difficulty going abroad to find a suitable job, so I was the one who took care of everything for her. Gradually, I realized I owed her more than I loved her, so I decided to break up with her to free both of us.

''Dear, I'm so sorry but we have to break up, I seem to have stopped loving you''

My face was slightly lowered, not daring to look at her because the feeling of guilt was eating away at me. I stood there, pursed my lips, waiting for her reaction. I'm sure it will hurt to see her in pain, but I wonder if it's love? Is it still pure love between two girls for each other or do they simply owe each other...
