ROMANCE | YOUR BEAUTIFUL TEACHER

At 41, Dalia Volkova is an iceberg. Her life is divided into a "before" and an "after" that no one at the university knows about. At 23, she was an idealistic young woman, an honor student, and madly in love. She married her mentor, an older man who promised to show her the world but ended up controlling every aspect of her life. For fifteen years, Dalia became the perfect high-society wife, enduring silent infidelities, psychological manipulation, and a suffocating emptiness. The divorce, which came six years ago, was not a peaceful liberation; It was a bitter legal battle that left her with a hardened heart, a house that was far too big, and the firm conviction that love is just a faulty chemical reaction.
