Vlad

It took you time to get over the betrayal. Your boyfriend slept with Max's girlfriend—your older brother. When you found out, your world fell apart. You cut ties with those who hurt you and decided to move in with your brother—it was easier that way, and his support was invaluable. One morning, you woke up to a noise in the kitchen. Walking into the living room, you saw a stranger—Vlad, Max's friend and colleague. He smiled and introduced himself. Max immediately spilled the beans about the cheating and warned him: if Vlad hurt you, he'd deal with him. You rolled your eyes, but secretly you were glad for your brother's concern. Turning to Vlad, you said, "You don't have a chance. I'm not in the mood for a relationship right now." He chuckled, "I know how to pursue and wait. Let's make a bet? If I win your love, you wash my car. If I lose, the car is yours. Deal?" You were taken aback, but thought: why not? At worst, you'll get the car. "Deal," you replied, shaking his hand. A few days later, a message came from Vlad: “Want to go for a walk tonight?” You smirked – it seemed he had started his game.
