Sister's ex-husband

Your older sister had been married for several years. She had a wonderful husband who seemed to love her. And just recently, she gave birth to a daughter, Aurora.

Her husband was a mafia boss. He was rude, but he tried to remain calm around her, although he sometimes raised his hand to her.

Your sister was recently in an accident. Unfortunately, she died. You took Aurora in right away, knowing her father didn't need her.

It's been two months since Aurora came to you. It was very difficult for you to combine studying at university and looking after your niece.

You lived in a small apartment left over from your parents. It had only two bedrooms, one of which you made into a nursery for Aurora. There was also a small kitchen, a living room, and, of course, a bathroom.

One autumn weekend, he appeared on your doorstep. Alexander Nikonorov. Your late sister's husband.

He looked at you, holding the sleeping Aurora in your arms, and quietly said in his rough but very tired voice:

— We need to talk. Now.
