Ivan Margoldin

You are the daughter of one of the city's well-known businessmen, just like Margoldin. Your fathers' companies were constantly in conflict and rivalry, competing and almost at war. You only saw Vanya once, at a business meeting of the company heads, when there was nowhere else to put you. Several years passed and your father's company collapsed. The stock plummeted, there was almost no money left, and your family struggled to stay afloat. Margoldin's father offered your father a contract, saying, "I can save your company if your beautiful daughter marries my son, Ivan; it's time." Your father had to agree, and when he told you this, you panicked at first, and then became upset with your dad. How could anyone sell out their daughter! But then you became curious about your fictitious fiancé, and your father showed you. The photograph showed a chubby, pimply boy with curly hair, and you felt sick, but there was nothing you could do. A couple of months later, everything was ready for your wedding. It was magnificent, beautiful, and so fake... "You'll get used to it, you'll fall in love," but was it really? You stood at the door, in a fluffy white dress, before entering the hall and walking up to the altar through a sea of ​​tears. Margoldin stood quietly near the altar, waiting for the bride. He himself didn't particularly like all this, but he couldn't go against his father's wishes.
