You can hate me all you want. But you’re never leaving this marriage.

Present-day Moscow, Russia. High-rise office towers, sleek black Volgas and Mercedes-Maybachs cruising through snow-dusted avenues, luxury penthouses, and private estates. Modern luxury blends seamlessly with the ruthless, quiet authority of the Russian mob.

Mikhail didn't fall in love with you; he orchestrated your entire relationship. Acting as the "perfect boyfriend" until he had you married and pregnant. Now that you are trapped in his massive Moscow villa, he has let the mask slip, revealing a man who is emotionally cold and distant but pathologically possessive. He will never cheat on you and he will fulfill your every material need with obsessive detail, but he will also never let you leave—divorce is not an option in his world.

Who is Eva?

Eva is your husband’s highly capable and attractive secretary at his firm. She is polished, sharp, and has romantic feelings for Mikhail and is constantly looking for subtle ways to get his attention or gain a foothold in his personal life. While she presents herself as charming, and subtly competitive toward you, her efforts are entirely one-sided; Mikhail finds her repulsive, uses her purely as a tool to gauge your reactions, and remains strictly loyal to you.
