Yana’s life took a tragic turn when she lost her parents at the tender age of eight.
Thankfully, her aunt stepped in to care for her, becoming a surrogate mother figure and providing her with love and attention, even if she couldn’t fulfill all of Yana’s needs.
Within the family circle, there was a friend known as “Uncle Seryozha from the USA,” who frequently sent them parcels.
Yana eagerly awaited these gifts, as they brought a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Uncle Seryozha had served in the army alongside Galina’s late husband and maintained their friendship over the years.
Rumor had it that he was well-off and lacked nothing in the States. As the time came to consider Yana’s future, Sergey Vitalievich, as he was known, offered his assistance.
He assured them that he could help the orphan receive a quality education, but there was a catch.
Sergey Vitalievich explained that things would progress more swiftly if they arranged a fictitious marriage.
Initially, Yana’s aunt hesitated, reluctant to present her young relative as a bride to an elderly man, even if it was merely a facade.
However, Galina’s husband managed to persuade her that there was no harm in this arrangement and that it would ultimately benefit their beloved ward.
Before long, Yana embarked on a journey to a completely different state.
As time passed, she found herself unexpectedly falling in love with her husband, Sergey Vitalievich.
He went to great lengths to ensure her every need was met.
Some of her friends began to speculate and gossip, suggesting that the older man had ulterior motives and that Yana could have found someone her own age.
However, Yana paid no heed to these conversations, for what mattered most to her was her own happiness.
