"I know her, Viktor. If you're curious about her, I can introduce you to her." 'Judging by the look on her face, Zoya wasn't angry with me at all. Was she not jealous of the prima ballerina? However, I didn't know what was in her heart.' Several perceptions arose in Viktor's mind. He looked at Xandrova who was focusing on the ballet dancers. "Where do you know her, Zoya?" "Oh, Olesya Zakharova was my best friend when we were at school." Xandrova answered Viktor's question without turning around. "Zoya, how many acts does Giselle's performance consist of?" Viktor asked Xandrova, who was enjoying the ballet performance in front of her eyes. "Two acts, Viktor." The first act had begun. All eyes in the Mariinsky Theater looked up at the stage. Viktor took Xandrova's hand. Viktor watched scene after scene on the stage until the scene where the main character ended his life. The music changed. Finally, there was a roar of applause from the audience. "Aargghhh! The first act set i

Viktor closed the hotel room door with his foot. He leaves the cardlock in place to keep the light on.Viktor steps into the bedroom. He laid Xandrova down gently."You look exhausted, Zoya."Viktor placed his wife's handbag on the nightstand. Then, he removes the boots Xandrova is still wearing.***The summer vacation is over. Viktor and his wife had returned to the Konstantin family mansion in the Leningrad district."Where's Grandpa? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"Xandrova asked the maid who had faithfully cared for her since she was a toddler."The Great Master is waiting for you in the dining room for breakfast.""The dining room?!"Viktor saw Galana's eyes nearly jump out of their sockets. However, Viktor remained as calm as ever."Yes, ma'am."Viktor followed his mother-in-law and wife's footsteps to the dining room. For some reason, his instincts told him things were about to get out of hand."Hello, Papa-in-law."Galana greeted Gennadius first. The 50-year-old woman pressed

And once again, Xandrova reassured her husband. However, it was clear from her gaze that Viktor couldn't believe her.A summer breeze entered the Konstantin family's dining room through the wide-open windows. The warm rays of the morning sun greeted Viktor's snow-white skin just like Xandrova's beautiful, well-groomed skin. The couple lived under the same roof in the Konstantin family's luxurious mansion. It's a classically designed mansion that showcases the decorative side of the past."Get on with it, Viktor, and don't beat around the bush like this!" Davidoff exclaimed to his son-in-law who was never considered."I'm sorry if you all waited so long for my decision. Because to be honest... this is really difficult for me."'If I make the wrong decision, Papa and Mama will blame me for what happened to their daughter, right?' Viktor thought hard about this. Viktor was confident in his assumption just now."Because I don't want you and Mama Galana to blame me for what will happen to

Viktor stood in the corner of the office on the 7th floor. Yes, the same floor as Gennadius. He gazed at the beautiful view visible from his room. In the man's hand, there was a document that Gennadius had given him earlier. And, he wasn't alone."Mr. Viktor, is there anything you don't understand about the document in your hand?Viktor let out a long breath. It wasn't long before he turned around."Andriy, there are so many things I don't understand."Viktor walks over to the desk. He sits down across from Andriy."Do you know someone who can track?"Andriy tries to understand Viktor's question. However, in the end he asked to avoid misunderstanding his master."Tracking?"Viktor nodded decisively at the assistant. "Yes. I want someone trustworthy and an expert in tracking."Viktor watched Andriy fall silent. Deep down, he would love to have tracking skills."Is it like a detective?"Viktor shakes his head. "It doesn't have to be like a detective. The criteria I need is someone who h

Gennadius' voice broke Viktor's reverie. Viktor was also nervous. Not nervous because he doesn't know or doesn't understand what Gennadius is talking about. However, because Viktor's mind was remembering something. Yes, that's right! Recalling the pieces of the past left in his mind."That's right, Mr. Viktor."Maksim joined the conversation. He glanced at Gennadius for a moment before continuing his words. Meanwhile, Viktor just fell silent, with his face beginning to blanch."In addition to musical performances, you can read books or magazines in Russian as well as foreign languages available on the bookshelf on the right, right behind you. The Grand Hotel Art Accent makes visitors feel comfortable."Maksim pointed to the bookshelf that was behind Viktor. However, Viktor didn't respond at all. Instead, he was busy playing with his thoughts.'I think I have to go to the bathroom right now,' Viktor thought, looking at Gennadius. He felt his head hurt."Grandpa and Mr. Maksim, I'm gonna
