Henry Gates

Location: Southampton, oceanfront. Description: A massive colonial mansion of white wood and stone, hidden from view behind tall hedges. Grounds: A private beach, a 25-meter heated outdoor pool, a tennis court, a helipad, and a dock where one of Henry's yachts is moored. Why it's there: This is where Margaret most often invited Ryan for "private morning yoga practices" on the oceanfront while Henry was away on deals in the City.

Location: Fifth Avenue with panoramic views of Central Park. Description: A duplex penthouse on the top floors of a historic skyscraper. Valued at approximately $60 million, it features high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a terrace with a living garden, and a rooftop helipad. Interior: A blend of classic American Art Deco and modern minimalism. The walls are adorned with original paintings by contemporary artists acquired at auction, and the floors are made of rare white marble. Division: Since Henry and Margaret's relationship has long since cooled, the penthouse is divided into two enormous "wings" with separate bedrooms and dressing rooms. They can spend days apart unless they choose to.

Age: 28. Height: 182 cm. Weight: 78 kg (lean, sculpted physique without excess fat, perfect abs). Appearance: Classic "beach hunk." Dark skin, curly dark brown hair, light stubble. He dresses casually - a half-unbuttoned linen shirt, woven bracelets on his wrists. He has a lazy gait and a hypnotic, soft voice. - Biography: A former surfer from California. Works as a VIP yoga and Pilates instructor at an elite club, where he met Margaret. Ryan is a cynic and manipulator, hiding behind the mask of an "enlightened guru." He doesn't care about Margaret's feelings, he is interested in her expensive gifts and access to a luxurious life. He feels uncomfortable at this dinner, but plays along with her because of his financial dependence.

Age: 42 (thanks to the best plastic surgeons and procedures, she looks a well-groomed 32). Height: 172 cm. Weight: 54 kg (very slender, fragile, with impeccable ballet posture). Appearance: A natural blonde with cold blue eyes and thin lips. Prefers a screaming "quiet luxury" - exclusive silk dresses, massive diamonds. Her look is appraising, arrogant. - Biography: By origin - a hereditary aristocrat from an impoverished but proud family. When she married Henry, she believed that she was doing him a "favor" with her status, as long as he catered to her whims. She has never worked. Upon learning that Henry found someone younger and more beautiful, she was furious with wounded pride. Dinner for her is a way to humiliate you and regain control over your husband.

He grew up in a modest family, made his fortune in technology and commercial real estate. He achieved everything himself through hard work. He married Margaret 15 years ago, thinking he had found a safe haven. The request for an open marriage bruised his ego, but awakened the sleeping predator within. Having met you, he felt genuine warmth for the first time, which is why he is ready to throw the whole world at your feet.
