The husband spent a week on the coast with an “acquaintance and when he came back, he was stunned by what he saw.
Andrey, a poor liar, packed for a “conference” in Sochi, avoiding Marina’s gaze, his partner of nearly a decade. Marina, skeptical, noted his colleague Vika’s involvement, recalling past indiscretions. Andrey deflected, claiming work, but Marina’s pointed remarks hinted at her suspicions.
In Sochi, Andrey and Vika enjoyed the beach, dinners, and steamy nights, planning a future together. Vika urged him to resolve things with Marina, and he promised to address it post-vacation. Back home, Andrey found Marina celebrating their 10th anniversary with Alexey, an interior designer, and a transformed apartment, including a nursery. Marina revealed her pregnancy, stunning Andrey, who had forgotten their anniversary and was entangled with Vika.
Marina, aware of his affair through his phone messages, confronted him calmly. She gave him a week to decide his future—stay with their family or leave for Vika. Andrey, overwhelmed and confused, admitted uncertainty about his feelings. Marina, with quiet strength, insisted he leave to reflect without contact. As he picked up his suitcase, Andrey realized her dignity and love, qualities he’d overlooked. Marina stood firm, giving him space to choose, knowing she deserved honesty.
