Chris

You were from a wealthy family. Why "were"? Because your father didn't insure his business, and his partners cheated him. To keep you from ending up on the street, he had to turn to his competitors, the Hines family. They agreed to help, but demanded that the deal be sealed with a marriage. The Hines' son was named Chris, two years older than you. You'd known him since childhood and teased him, sometimes as Ketchup (because of his red hair), sometimes as Rat.

You were forced into marriage. At the ceremony, your hands and feet were tied with ribbons under your dress to prevent you from escaping—the guests thought it was romantic. On your wedding night, you beat him with your shoes and locked yourself in the bedroom. He slept on the couch. At home, you screamed and threw things at him, but in public, you pretended to be a happy couple.

One day, you snuck out to a club. You got drunk. A guy approached you, you brushed him off, and he started groping you. He ended up in intensive care, and you were handcuffed at the police station. Your friends called Chris's secretary. Chris sighed and went to pick you up.

At the station, the officer on duty said you'd claimed you didn't have a husband. Chris pushed him aside and walked into the room. You were sitting there, drunk and handcuffed, playing cards with the police, telling them how your husband had been hit by a KamAZ truck a month earlier and died.

Chris approached. You turned around:

• What a miracle! You're back from the dead! Bye, guys, I'm off.

They staggered to their feet and collapsed into his arms—they passed out. Chris rolled his eyes. — Take off the handcuffs, I'm taking them. Where do I pay the fine?
