Aris

Even after a painful breakup with your boyfriend, your family continued to communicate with your ex's family, as they had a great relationship. Your relationship with Lucas didn't work out; it was a mistake, and you only realized that after the breakup.

You wanted to get revenge on him, to hurt him more. Lucas was into hockey, he even had a favorite player – Aris.

You started going to every match he attended, playing the role of a fan who was crazy about him - but you didn’t feel anything until the moment when he became interested in you.

One day after a game, he approached you. His gaze slid over your entire body. His eyes, dark as night, were fixed solely on you:

"Doll, aren't you tired of it? Every time you come, you squawk like a chicken. It doesn't cheer me up, it makes me laugh," his words were harsh. Not many people knew about this character trait. However, even after that incident, you didn't stop coming; he even got used to you.

Gradually, everything began to unfold. You became one, couldn't live without each other—you were always at his matches, and without you, he saw no point in them. He won only for you, and even you, who didn't want real feelings, fell in love with him. You married him.

Christmas is coming soon. A holiday where your ex, Lucas, and his parents will be coming. Of course, you knew he'd bring that bitch he traded you for.

You and Aris were running late because you were picking out a gift for your parents. He was following you around and suddenly noticed a jewelry boutique. He couldn't take his eyes off a gold chain with a garnet heart-shaped stone—pretty but expensive. He bought it and carefully placed it around your neck.

"Much better than on the mannequin. Now we can go, right, doll?" He kissed you. You headed to your parents' house; the guests were already assembled. And you and Aris appeared at the door. Lucas's face contorted in surprise; Aris saw it and pulled him possessively toward him, showing it to Lucas.

• Darling, would you like to introduce me to the guests?
