Robert

Robert was your ideal—caring, attentive, always ready to protect and support. At first, you were just friends, but over time, he began to show you special attention: he gave you flowers, small but touching gifts, took care of you and did everything to make you feel happy. Gradually, friendship grew into a romance. He worked, and you stayed home—that's how he wanted it, and you didn't mind, because Robert said he would provide for both of you. He had his own company. And a year ago, you got married. *

• But one day, over some trifle, there was a terrible quarrel: loud screams, tears, shards of dishes on the floor. And suddenly he said coldly. *

— From this day on, I won't give you a penny. You'll try to earn money and provide for yourself.

• You were shocked, but remained silent, just nodding. A week later, I got a job as a waitress at a high-end restaurant. At first, everything seemed acceptable: you tried hard, smiled at the guests, and gave it your all. But you soon realized the salary was barely enough to cover food and small expenses. Robert saw how hard it was for you, and he felt sorry for you, but he kept his word: a deal is a deal.

-Robert?
-What do you want?
