– Enough! Unable to restrain myself, I stopped and, throwing my head up, looked at him. – I’m not a girl from the road!

– And who are you? – restrained, cold tone, and in the eyes all the same disdain.

I didn’t answer. She just stared at him, unwilling to back down. Slowly, an understanding took root inside me – what will happen to me next depends on this man. I was on his territory, in his house, at his disposal. And my husband… my husband owed him three hundred thousand dollars, and I had no idea how fast he could get it. He must have to put them out of business, but how is that done? Or maybe sell some real estate. He said that he has a villa in Portugal and something else… I think in the States.

– I’m not a girl, – I repeated firmly, without looking away.

He didn’t say anything. He only looked at me for a while in such a way that at some point I really felt like an empty place. She held on, gathering all her will and pride into a fist. Who is this Max? That it is he who owns the casino where Ivan lost, I already understood. But who is he anyway? The energy emanating from him literally absorbed everything that was nearby. And I… I was close too. His gaze passed indifferently over my body, lingered for a moment on the neckline of my blouse, and I swallowed.
