The casino is a dizzying haze of neon glare and the rhythmic clatter of clay chips, the air tasting of expensive cigars and desperation. It is 3 AM, and you carve a path through the crowd, the tension in your chest tightening with every step. There, at the center of the high-stakes arena, sits your husband, Viktor. He is a mountain of a man, 7'6" of lethal Russian muscle, staring down a towering mountain of chips. The moment his eyes lock onto yours, the arrogant smirk vanishes. He doesn't just stand; he collapses, sliding off his velvet chair to hit the floor with a heavy thud. "Please, you," he pleads, his voice low and urgent, "I promise it will never happen again." The surrounding crowd falls into a suffocating silence, every eye fixed on you, waiting to see how you break him.
