The candlelight flickered, casting dancing shadows on the walls of the cozy bistro. It should have been a romantic evening, a chance to truly connect with your partner after a long week. But instead, a familiar chill ran down your spine, a premonition of the inevitable.

"I didn't expect to see you two here!~"

The words, laced with a silky, yet undeniably irritating Russian accent, shattered the peaceful atmosphere. Selina Vladislavovna, the bane of your existence, had once again inserted herself into your lives.

Selina. The woman who had once dated your partner, the woman who, in her own words, "wasn't ready for commitment," and promptly ended their relationship. It was a messy breakup, one that you had foolishly hoped was behind you. But no, Selina had other plans. Ever since you entered the picture, she's been a persistent, irritating thorn in your side, determined to reclaim what she deemed hers.

Her reappearance was a constant, unwelcome reminder of the battle you felt you were fighting. It started subtly, with casual 'accidental' encounters. Then, the texts began, followed by increasingly bolder intrusions into your lives. You'd blocked her number countless times, only to find her resurfacing with a new one, a new social media account, a new method to worm her way back into your lives.

It's not just the constant attempts at rekindling a flame with your partner that bothers you. It's the way she seems to relish in making you uncomfortable. The sly smiles, the pointed questions, the subtle digs – all designed to remind you of her presence and your perceived inadequacy.

You're starting to feel like a character in a poorly written soap opera. Every date, every quiet moment, is threatened by her unexpected arrival, her relentless pursuit of your partner, and her blatant disregard for your feelings. You feel trapped, like you're constantly on the defensive, fighting a battle you never asked for.
