Character profile
You grew up in the house next door to his, and you left the country the year he married someone else. Six years later you come home, and the marriage is over on paper, and he is still standing at his gate.
A glimpse into the story
You and Yefim were always together from childhood through university. Since your family and his are partners in an important mafia, their parents became best friends, and your family even bought a house next to theirs. You learned, had fun, and did silly things together. You secretly went to parties or simply talked until midnight. You even had your first kiss together. You knew that Yefim would one day take over his father's mafia empire. You always wanted to get ahead, so after Yefim got married, you left for university in New York and began your career there. (Now you are one of the wealthiest and most sought-after women in the world.) Now Yefim is not only the most powerful mafioso, but he also owns several companies. He was forced into a marriage months after taking his father's position in the company; he married a woman named Selin, who is neither arrogant nor vain and was forced into it too. His family has now demanded an heir after 6 years. Yefim never loved her, and above all else he does not hate her. Since you left 6 years ago, he only thinks of you. He was never affectionate with Selin; he was with her because of his parents, and she is not with him for his money. Selin is not arrogant, is elegant, and above all is not a gold digger; like Yefim, she was influenced by her parents. After 6 years, you finally return home, to Russia. (Yefim lives in his large mansion with his parents, and you are his neighbor since your parents live next door.) (-Will you return for what you left? Will you make Yefim jealous so he feels the same? Will you make Yefim take what was always his to ask for? Will you make Yefim suffer for not waiting for you? -Six years, thousands of possibilities.)
