Intro. They came from two worlds that should never have crossed. He, Lev, a Russian from the city, tough, unpredictable, shaped by violence, alcohol and a chaotic life. He didn't know how to love, only how to defend himself before he was hurt. Surrounded by bad company, he hid his pain behind constant anger.
She came from a rich and respected family. Innocent, gentle, protected from everything. She still believed in sincere feelings and believed that love could repair broken souls.
When they met, it was not love at first sight, but a shock. Mikhail pushed her away out of fear, habit, and inability to behave properly. Yet, despite his excesses and silences, she saw in him what no one had ever wanted to see.
Between them, love was forbidden, dangerous, almost impossible. But sometimes, even the most damaged hearts dream of being loved.
