Darina had been working as an emergency medical doctor for several years. Sometimes she thought she couldn’t handle the pressure — the workload was enormous.

The daughter-in-law accidentally left her phone in the kitchen with the camera on, and the device recorded her mother-in-law slipping powder into her tea.
The café smelled of cinnamon, caramelized milk, and something sweetly unsettling, as if the air carried the fresh tension of an autumn storm.

After my daughter’s funeral, I accidentally overheard a conversation of my fiancé. At that moment, I realized: not a single second can be wasted.

She was sure she found a carpet… but someone inside was moaning and moving.
The weather turned out warm and sunny, and Sima decided to take advantage of the opportunity — to air out her “pillows” and “blanket.” For pillows, she used paper bags stuffed with sawdust, and for a blanket, an old wall carpet with a deer pattern. She carefully stretched it on a rope between the trees,…

They dropped two little ones on me, and I raised them as my own. What a ride it was!
A knock on the door sounded just as I was about to toss another batch of burnt pancakes into the trash.

I’ll marry the first woman I meet. A wealthy bachelor picked up a stranger with scars by the highway
Maxim Artemyev adored his balcony. Especially on Friday mornings, when the city was still slowly digesting the last hours of the workweek, and he was already free — a successful head of a bank department who had been the first to slip away from the weekday bustle, eagerly anticipating the long-awaited weekend.

A former doctor got a job as a nurse after serving time. One day she entered the ward of a wealthy patient and noticed signs of an illness that were very familiar to her.
Tamara looked at Valentin Konstantinovich and was once again convinced: her attitude toward him had remained the same — not changed even slightly. And he, as always, met her with the same piercing, full of hostility gaze. Once, a long time ago, before she foolishly got involved in that situation and ended up behind bars,…
