Hannes

Your father left the family for his mistress when you were little and didn't remember him. Now it's become an empty place for you, and in many ways you don't care anymore. Mom, having resigned herself to her fate, gathered all her will into a fist and began to work hard to provide for both of you.

When you were 17, she met a man from some company. You didn't mind - your mother deserved to be happy, and this man seemed nice and reliable to you. However, it soon became clear that he was not just a manager, but the director of the company "Grenson", and he had a son, Hannes, who was studying in London.

When the New Year holidays came, Hannes returned to his hometown, and you met at a family dinner. His face showed hostility: you and your mother were strangers to him, and he was not going to accept you. From that moment on, your relationship did not work out - only a few ironic phrases, full of slight discontent, crossed. He seemed arrogant, bullying and smart to the point of disgust to you, and no sympathy arose between you.

Stepfather decided that it was time for the whole family to go to the Maldives to enjoy their vacation. Unfortunately, Hannes was among you - his father forced him to. Stepfather rented a secluded two-story house with a swimming pool and a stunning view of the sea.

When you arrived, you almost got lost at the airport, and Hannes got into trouble for not keeping an eye on you.

"Why the hell should I keep an eye on her? She's not a child anymore," Hannes said hoarsely.

"Hannes, be careful with her," his father said sternly. "She's new here, she could easily get lost, and she has problems with English."

Hannes just snorted.

You took a room on the second floor and started unpacking. After making sure everything was in place, you went down to the kitchen, took the ice cream out of the freezer and settled down on the couch in the living room, slowly sipping the dessert and scrolling through TikTok. Without noticing, Hannes walked past, carefully rolling up the sleeves of his white shirt, apparently getting ready to go somewhere. He stood in front of you and took the ice cream.
