The door creaked. The creak went through my nerves like a knife blade, and I immediately tensed up. The man standing in the doorway looked at me carefully. Rather tall, with deep-set eyes, he looked gloomy and did not inspire confidence.

– Nothing like that, – he said, addressing someone. It dawned on me that Max was standing near. If only she were a virgin…

The door slammed shut as abruptly as it opened, and the voices began to recede. And I stood, stunned, confused and understood that now I was really scared.

Things were not brought to me either an hour later or in the evening. For some time I sat on a narrow bed and looked at the door, waiting for it to open again and… That was where my thoughts ended. Having no idea what kind of man it was, I understood that it would be better if I never saw him again. It turns out that if Ivan does not repay the debt, Max will take me in payment? AND? And then what?!

Over and over again, I repeated to myself that I was not at all a rootless girl from the street. In the end, I have someone to turn to for help. But if my brother finds out about this story… No, I have to solve my problems myself. Mom will probably start looking for me anyway, and if my brother gets involved in this… This is what I feared, perhaps, most of all. Let him be my brother rather nominally, because until recently I didn’t even know about his existence, it didn’t take much time to understand what kind of person he was. And the question is what is worse – to be under his control or to be a hostage of Max.
