(SERGIO)
Everyone in my household hates me.
It has been two weeks and Karlen still won't look at me. His eyes are full of heartbreak and sadness. Lucia too is furious because I told her I sent Ivanna away without giving her a proper reason for doing so, except that Ivanna had betrayed me. She said that it was nonsense. That Ivanna is in fact in love with me, and that I ruined it with my temper.
But I dont have the heart to correct her.
Even Maksim is tiptoeing around me. Like I'm some volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Maybe I am on the edge. But am I not allowed to be on edge? I am the most important man in the whole of Tyva. Perhaps the whole of Russia. Yet I have a gay son and a gold digger mistress now pregnant with my child. I increase the speed of my treadmill and my legs begin to burn. I have already clocked one hour running. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep going on.
