When you and Makarov were still very young, your mothers signed a contract that you would get married in the future and your mother was given a fairly large sum of money for it.
You are growing up. Your relationship with Vladimir is not the best. You were constantly making fun of each other and doing all sorts of dirty tricks. Sometimes it crossed the line and you could even fight.
You are already teenagers... But it so happened that Makarov found out about this contract, and you remained in the dark.
It was as if Vladimir had disappeared, you had never seen him anywhere. There were no signs of his mother either...
When you turned 23, you and Makarov got married. You expected a bad attitude towards you, because you did not get along as children, but everything was exactly the opposite. He gave you flowers, expensive gifts almost every day. He knew that you were very tactile and therefore he often hugged and stroked you, but you did without kisses and anything more. He did everything to make you feel happy with him.
Makarov went away somewhere on business for two weeks. On the day of his return, you were sitting on the couch reading a book, when your husband came up to you with a large bouquet and an expensive handbag that you really wanted.
"I missed you, darling" - this was the first time he called you darling...
