Believe in Destiny! Svetlana was a successful businesswoman, and like many, her busy schedule left little time for a personal life. Most days were spent in the office, traveling for work, or catching up on sleep at home on weekends. Highly active and disciplined, she always had a plan for every situation. At 32, she had no family or children—just a thriving business and one close friend. Her parents died young in a car accident, so her grandmother raised her, doing her best despite modest means. From childhood, Svetlana dreamed of success and helping her beloved grandmother. She excelled in school, graduated with honors, and built a profitable travel agency. By 27, she bought her own apartment, and by 30, a luxury car. She supported her grandmother with expensive medicine, clothes, and treats. When her grandmother passed away at 31, Svetlana was left completely alone. Her only friend occasionally joined her for shopping or travel, but otherwise, she had no one. Svetlana’s high standards for a partner matched her achievements—she wanted a successful, caring man. As the years passed without meeting him, she focused on growing her business. One day, returning from a business trip to Spain, she struggled to sleep on the plane due to noisy children nearby. She asked the flight attendant to move her to a quieter seat and quickly fell asleep. Upon landing, she awoke and saw him—a fascinating, sophisticated man of about 38. She regretted sleeping through the flight, as he immediately caught her attention. They left the plane and stood together in line at passport control, where their conversation was so engaging that time flew by. Vadim told her he was also returning from a business trip and had noticed her in the airport but assumed she was married. They exchanged phone numbers and parted ways. The next day, a courier delivered a huge bouquet and a card inviting her to dinner. Their romance began! Five months later, Vadim proposed. Now, at 36, Svetlana has a family, a loving husband, twin boys, and a successful business. She can’t run it alone anymore, but together with her husband, they manage everything. Love each other and believe in destiny!

Believe in destiny! My name is Charlotte, and for years, my life revolved around my career.

Spotting the Dog by the Bench, He Rushed Over—His Eyes Fell on the Leash Carelessly Left Behind by Natalie As Soon as Jelena Saw the Dog Lying by the Bench, She Ran to Him—The Leash Natalie Had Carelessly Tossed Aside Caught Her Eye, and Mars Looked Up at His Owner with Swollen, Mournful Eyes… Jelena and Her Brother Vadim Had Barely Spoken in Two Years—A Silly Disagreement Had Escalated into a Bitter Rift. Growing Up in the Close-Knit English Village of Greenfield, They Had Always Been Inseparable, Sharing Mischief and Defending Each Other No Matter What. Their Village Prospered Under the Guidance of Their Hometown Mayor, Peter Michaels, a Brilliant Community Leader. After Peter earned his degree in agricultural sciences, he returned to Greenfield and dedicated himself to its revival, eventually becoming the respected head of the village council. In his personal life, things also flourished: Jelena, after qualifying as a nurse, began working at the village clinic where Peter soon fell in love with her, and they married in a celebration witnessed by all of Greenfield. Vadim was truly happy for his sister, though his own marriage to Natalie was growing increasingly strained. Initially, when Jelena was single, Natalie would grumble about her, calling her lazy or stuck-up. But after the wedding, those complaints gave way to jealousy. Natalie grew ever more demanding—she wanted a bigger house, a newer car, a finer coat—and often snapped at Vadim: “Everyone else has everything, and we have nothing!” No matter how hard Vadim tried, he couldn’t keep up with her wishes or her unhappiness, especially since they remained childless, while Jelena enjoyed family bliss, two children, a spacious new home, and a husband of standing. Family gatherings often ended in arguments. After every visit to the happy couple, Natalie would immediately take her frustration out on Vadim. The last straw was Vadim’s birthday, when Jelena, knowing his fondness for Labradors, gifted him a puppy, and Peter presented him with a new motorbike. All seemed well until a drunken Natalie erupted, aiming her pent up rage at Jelena: “So, the dog—is that your hint? If I can’t give you a child, at least I can get you a dog?” Jelena tried to calm her down: “Natalie, relax—you’ll regret this later…” But her words fell on deaf ears. The quarrel split the room in two. Peter gently persuaded Jelena to leave, and they quietly slipped out. Two years passed. Vadim distanced himself from his sister, their interactions limited to the briefest of encounters, and tension between him and Natalie only grew. He found solace in evening walks by the River Green with Mars; there, the two seemed content—Vadim would toss a stick, and Mars would chase, then settle at his feet to listen to his master’s quiet stories. Neighbours told Jelena about these walks, but Vadim remained unreachable. After the infamous argument, Natalie’s resentment for both Jelena and the dog intensified. In Vadim’s absence, she drove Mars outdoors, shouted at him, sometimes even lashed out physically. Local busybodies poured fuel on the fire: “Your husband’s out with the dog again…” “Yesterday he bumped into Jelena and her family—they were all laughing, having a grand old time!” Overcome with jealousy, Natalie lashed out at Vadim when he asked: “Natalie, you’re not harming Mars, are you?” She grumbled, “Why would I want your dog?” and stormed out. Mars took to hiding from Natalie and trembled in her presence. Everything came to a head one morning, when after another argument, Vadim snapped: “I’ve had enough of this endless envy!” Furious and alone, Natalie dragged Mars out to the garden bench, tied him up, and lashed him with the belt. The poor dog howled in pain. When her rage was spent, Natalie flung the belt to the ground, packed her things, and left for good. Returning that evening, Vadim found the house in chaos, and Mars lying by the garden bench—his fist clenched at the sight. He quickly untied him and rushed him in his arms to the village clinic. Jelena was just leaving when she saw her brother, cradling the bleeding dog: “Lena, help…” Vadim croaked. Together, they tended Mars’s wounds. When Jelena asked who’d done it, Vadim answered quietly, “Natalie.” Jelena nodded, stitched and cleaned Mars as best she could, and gave him water. Out in the hallway, Vadim whispered remorsefully: “Forgive me, Lena…” “Don’t worry,” she offered a tired smile. “And Natalie…?” “No, Lena. Never again.” Jelena called Peter: “Pete, can you pick me up?” Hearing her weary voice, Peter was at the clinic in moments. Seeing the reunited siblings with Mars quietly beside them, he simply smiled: “Come on, my brave ones.” They took Vadim home and gave him advice on caring for Mars. When Jelena told their mother what had happened, she sighed: “They should have separated a long time ago.” Then she made her way to Vadim’s house to help restore order. On the porch, Vadim sat petting Mars. His mother joined him, gently stroking them both. “You’re alive?” she asked. “Alive,” Vadim replied. From the kitchen drifted the aroma of boiled beef and fresh vegetables. Mars’s nose twitched and his tail swished. Vadim smiled and stood up. Life went on.

Spotting the dog curled up by the bench, she rushed towards him. Her gaze landed on the lead as well
