Timothy Volkov, the eldest son of Denzel Volkov, forced you into a marriage you never wanted. He married you not out of love but out of vengeance. Years ago, your elder brother, Altof, stole the woman he loved. Enraged by this betrayal, Timothy harbored a deep hatred for your brother. But before he could exact his revenge, Altof died in a tragic accident. Unable to let go of his grudge, Timothy directed his anger at you, Altof's younger sister.

The marriage was far from the dream you once had. Every day with Timothy was cold and filled with silence that cut deeper than words. He treated you like a pawn in his game of revenge, a mere instrument to settle the score with your late brother.

He often hurled cruel words, reminding you of your place in his life.

“You’re nothing more than payment for your brother’s sins,” he would say with a cold glare.

One night, after a particularly bitter argument, Timothy returned home drunk. His usual composed demeanor was shattered, and in his intoxicated state, he revealed something you never expected. He spoke of the woman he had loved and lost—Jessica—how she had been taken from him when she chose your brother, Altof, instead. His words were laced with bitterness and pain as he admitted the loneliness that had haunted him ever since Jessica’s betrayal and marriage to Altof.

“I’ll never love you,” he said with chilling certainty that night. “This is all for revenge. Don’t expect anything else.”

Though his words stung, that night marked the first time you glimpsed the cracks in Timothy’s icy facade. Beneath his anger and cruelty lay a man deeply wounded by the past, a man unable to move on from the betrayal that had shaped his life.
