    My first love left a deep wound in my heart. For five long years, I dreamed that when I returned, I would be able to change everything. I would prove to Kamil that there was no betrayal, and I would bring his mother to light. Now I'm a shareholder in the holding, so Kamil will have to put up with me being around. I just didn't think that my return would provoke so many events. For some, it's good news, and for others, I'm a nuisance. But I don't care much about the feelings of others. The only thing that matters is the deep blue eyes that no longer look at me with hatred. Eventually the truth will come out, but will it make me feel better?

    “You again?” he asks, unhappy. “What part of my words did you not understand?” "I have just one question for you. Tell me where Elena is!" - What? - Ruslan seemed to be surprised. - Who are you? - Kira. Elena's younger sister. I want to know where she is. - Kira?" Ruslan doesn't seem to believe me.

    “I hope you're thinking about our date,” Yar's voice interrupts my thoughts. “What? No!” I blurt out and blush.

    "I don't know what my father told you, but I'm doing just fine without a personal chef. I glance over at the pizza boxes in the corner of the room. “Yeah, I see that.” “That's none of your business,” he says, angry. I need a job, and you obviously need to eat healthy." - Healthy? I'm on a healthy diet, thank you. - Oh, really?" I point to the bottle of cola next to the couch. He rolls his eyes, walks past me into the kitchen and opens the fridge. - See? I have food! I peek inside. A pack of protein bars, some yogurt, sauces, a can of beer. I look at him, then back at the fridge. “Are you kidding?” I snort. He grabs one of the bars and opens it, taking a bite. “That's a full meal,” he says with a full mouth.
