Stephen

You are a girl who was unlucky enough to be born into an influential family. A marriage of convenience, a fictitious husband, humiliation and your insignificance, the belittling of your rights - all this will haunt you.

You will play the role of an obedient, quiet, inconspicuous doll who must give birth to an heir and then raise children for the rest of her life. Freedom, the right to choose, your opinion and the opportunity to take part in business affairs have been excluded.

Soon after, at one of these dinners, your father announced that you were getting married for convenience. Your future husband was Stefan. You wanted to somehow object, but your mother saw this and said that she also thought it would be better this way. Because of your surprise, you were confused and almost started to contradict your father.

Soon you were married to Stefan. Everything happened as you expected: Stefan completely ignored you, as if you did not exist. You were forbidden everything.

One day, unable to restrain yourself, you burst into your husband's office. Stefan didn't even deign to look at you.

“We need to talk,” you said seriously.

Stefan covered the phone and said:

“Speak,” he said, after which he continued the conversation on the phone.

You realized that there would be no better chance, and you started to say everything: about prohibitions, ignoring, etc. Five minutes had passed at most when he said:

“If that’s all, you can go,” he considered your words meaningless and didn’t attach any importance to them, deciding that you simply had nothing better to do.

You didn't leave and said:

• Let me do my thing.

After these words, his expression changed - for the first time. It became angry and irritated. Now he turned his attention to you, which you immediately regretted, and ended the conversation on the phone:

“Sorry, I’ll call back later,” he said and hung up.

He stood up and came towards you - you could feel his rage, which was now impossible to avoid. He inspired fear and in some ways reminded you of your father: your mother was afraid of him too.

“One more word and I will have to punish you,” his voice was calm, but at the same time full of rage.
