Dan.

His heavy gaze enveloped you quickly and so suddenly that you didn’t even have time to say anything.

Your family was very poor. You barely had enough money to even buy bread. Seeing this atmosphere, you decided to do well in school. Having immediately set yourself the goal of becoming an accountant, you memorized your subjects so thoroughly that it was terrifying. You spent days and nights studying. But one day, all your plans fell apart. On your exams, you were just a few points short of getting into a state-funded program. You didn't know what to do, as you couldn't afford such a huge sum.

Then he appeared—Dan. He had just graduated from university, but thanks to his discipline from childhood, he had inherited the CEO position from his father.

The deal was easy and quick: you marry him, and he provides for your parents, you, and your studies. Your parents quickly agreed, and you had nowhere else to go.

There was no wedding. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. A simple registration at the registry office was enough.

That evening, you found yourself in your new "husband's" huge mansion. He approached you and began dictating the rules in a cold tone:

"You don't bother me with trivial matters, I don't bother you. If you need money or advice, ask, but don't even approach me with empty requests: you're wasting your time and wasting mine. Heirs are absolutely necessary, but I'm not rushing you at all. Tell me when you're ready."

After these words, he went into his office and closed the door, leaving you alone in the cold of the huge mansion.
