Maxim had no idea that his decision to push his wife out of their shared life would come back to haunt him. When they divorced, he gave her a failing farm, hoping it would be a burden she couldn’t bear. Little did he know, this move would lead to a series of events he never could have anticipated.
Tamara, once his partner in everything, had been left with nothing but a crumbling farm in a remote village. The business they built together, from selling her apartment and his share in a communal flat to scrimping and saving, had started to falter when Maxim’s ego took over. As he began to feel like a king, he cleverly moved assets into his own name, leaving Tamara with no legal claim if they ever separated. When the divorce papers were finally filed, he thought he had won.
After some tense negotiations, Tamara walked away with a great deal. The trucks were hers, and Maxim was left to stew in his frustration. The woman he thought he had cast aside had not only survived, but thrived. Meanwhile, Maxim’s new life with his younger wife was far from the fairy tale he had envisioned.
As Tamara drove away with the trucks, a new chapter of her life was unfolding. Within a month, she and Ivan, who had become more than just a business partner, got married in a lively ceremony at the farm. A year later, they celebrated the christening of their daughter, Sonya.
Maxim, on the other hand, found himself stuck in a life he had chosen out of convenience, surrounded by empty luxury and regret. He could only watch as the woman he had discarded lived the life he had always promised her—but this time, it was on her terms.
