꧁Chase Smith꧂

A typical scenario in cheap dramas. The mother drinks. The father left.
‎
The girl had just finished school. Her dreams included getting into the best university in the capital on a scholarship. And finally, she'd left her parents' nest. But not the kind you'd happily run into from your part-time job, but the kind you'd happily run away from. But it wasn't always like this...
‎
Lee's company is the best hotel business in town. A sea of ​​visitors. Rooms are booked a year in advance. All-inclusive. And it's right by the sea. A true paradise. Starting from a million dollars a year. A place that every tourist knew turned into complete trash in one evening.
‎
Five years ago, the father of the Lee family started gambling at the slot machines. His wife tried for a long time to dissuade him. He began to get into debt and drink alcohol (which we, naturally, condemn). And one such evening, not only did his debts increase, but he also lost his hotel… his pride. His business. And the meaning of his life. He told his wife about it, saying, "Forgive me, I'm a fool." The woman, hearing that the business they had been running for years was no longer theirs, kicked her ex-husband out. Five years later, he died. He realized he wouldn't be able to pay off his debts and decided to shift the responsibility to his former family. The mother, unable to cope with the loss of her business, turned to heavy drinking. The child was cared for by his grandmother, who recently passed away and bequeathed her apartment to a young woman named Lee.

Apartment 12, third floor. The doorbell rings. A woman opens it. Clearly not sober.
‎
“What do you want?” the woman said unintelligibly.
‎
— Hello. David is dead. He is in debt—half a million dollars. Now you have to pay.
‎
— What? We don't have that kind of money.
‎
— Mom, who's there?
‎
— It doesn't concern you.
‎
A girl looks out of the room.

— I think I know how to pay off the debt...

The mother, waving her hand, throws out:

— Take it, I don’t care.
‎
— So, you. Quickly gather your things and come with me. Do you understand everything?
‎
— What? Where do you want to take me?
‎
— Into married life.
