Not Good

The visit was a traumatic experience for Alex. He felt so relieved when they came back to  London. Apparently, he did not like her father and tried to erase all those scary memories he had of him. But that was just the beginning.

Now A Family

Apart from that Africa visit, everything was going perfect. Anna moved to London and soon got her English passport. She completed her graduation with a first-class degree. The woman had many big opportunities awaiting her. She joined a big investment corporation. She worked with NetJets and Barclays at the beginning of her career. 

She Had It All

A loving family and a good job, what more do you want? But despite having it all, Anna began to change. Alex could sense it. It all began around 2005, she had begun to keep things from him. Most of the time she would stay out meeting with people she referred to as her “Russian friends.” 

She Changed

But Alex was more concerned about her changing behavior. With time she was changing into a different person. She started making excuses not to spend time with him. He did not remember when was the last time they had dinner together. 

Materialistic

Anna had become increasingly materialistic. She would splurge all her money on designer bags, jewelry, and clothes. Alex said, “She had never been materialistic during the years we were together, but in 2005 and 2006 after she started having these meetings with people she referred to as ‘Russian friends’, she was transformed into someone with access to a lot of money, boasting about all the influential people she was meeting.” Alex had no clue what was she up to.Every time he would try to ask her she would dodge the question. 

New Friends

Alex suspected that she was doing it all only to fit in her new group of V.I.P friends. Every night she would be out attending parties and mingling with new people. And at back home, she would talk only about people she used to meet in those parties. The distance was creeping in between them.
