You lived an ordinary life, worked at a simple job, dreamed, hoped, waited for something, but you always counted only on your own strength.… And so it went on for quite a long time, until he appeared in your life — Nikolai Alexandrovich, a rich man from Moscow.

In fact, you had no idea how fabulously rich he was. You saw an expensive car and other accessories, but you, like an ordinary girl, not a predator, did not have an eye for evaluating household items, and it was somehow not interesting.

Nikolai Alexandrovich courted you beautifully, he literally courted you, if only you would look at him once more, if only you would give him your smile again... and you trusted him.

A month after you started dating, Nikolai Alexandrovich decided to bring you out into high society.

A huge country mansion on a vast, well-maintained territory was packed with billionaires: bankers, businessmen, politicians and other gentlemen. They were accompanied by gorgeous women, but Nikolai Alexandrovich did not offend you either, he allocated you a huge sum to prepare for this evening and you did not let him down — you looked fresh and lovely.

Nikolai was not around for most of the evening, he discussed business and other matters with other men.

At one point, you accidentally overheard a conversation.

— Well, well... I'm proud to accept the loss. one gentleman was grinning — You really proved that a beggar can be washed and brought into the company of decent people. I'll transfer five million to your account.

— It's a pleasure doing business with you, Boris. Nikolai replied

Do you understand what they were saying about you, and the blood is running cold with resentment and anger: was it all for the sake of winning a bet?
