Sveta’s wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. As the wedding procession sped through the city, with lively music blaring and the driver honking, Sveta nervously adjusted her veil and fussed with her bouquet. She was radiant, her blonde curls elegantly styled, her veil adding an air of mystery, and a joyful smile played on her lips. Her heart raced with excitement, unable to believe she was about to marry Alexey, the love of her life. Let people gossip and doubt their love—Sveta didn’t care. Their connection was unique, unlike anything anyone could understand.
But as the procession sped past the registry office and left the city, Sveta’s confusion grew. She questioned the driver, but his cryptic response—”It’s a surprise, relax”—only fueled her panic. When she tried to open the locked doors in vain, her fear intensified. The driver continued to speed along, ignoring her pleas, as she sobbed helplessly in the backseat.
Finally, the car stopped in a desolate area, near a rundown hut at the edge of a swamp. The driver turned off the music and coldly told Sveta they had arrived. Confused and terrified, she demanded to know why she was there, and the driver revealed that Alexey’s mother, Galina Vasilievna, had orchestrated this cruel act, sending Sveta to be humiliated as a lesson. It dawned on Sveta that Alexey had known all along and had done nothing to protect her from this degradation.
The driver, seeing her distress, offered some sympathy, suggesting that perhaps it was for the best, and promised to return soon. But Sveta, devastated and alone, sat in the swampy darkness, overwhelmed by betrayal. She had dreamed of telling Alexey at their wedding that she was pregnant, but now everything seemed lost. Her world crumbled as she realized she had been nothing more than a pawn in a cruel game orchestrated by Alexey’s family.
After the ordeal, Sveta found herself alone and pregnant, with nowhere to turn. Her father, stern and unforgiving, had already made it clear that she would never be welcome back at home. But she refused to let go of her child and made a new life for herself, working hard as a seamstress, scraping by in the city.
Her life took another unexpected turn when she was asked to care for twins in need of a wet nurse. The tragedy of their mother’s death and their desperate father led Sveta to care for them, finding solace in the children’s smiles as she navigated her own heartache. But the road was never easy. The family she worked for, the Kruglovs, treated her coldly at first. They questioned her place in their home, but Sveta’s dedication to the children won them over.
Amid this new life, Sveta’s former fiancé, Alexey, reappeared, bringing his shame and his family with him. He had hoped to reconcile, but Sveta was unforgiving. She confronted him in front of the Kruglovs, exposing his betrayal. The Kruglovs, who had grown fond of Sveta, were appalled by Alexey’s behavior, and he was driven out in disgrace.
Sveta’s strength and determination in raising her child and caring for the Kruglovs’ twins earned her a place in their family, though not without challenges. Sasha’s sister, Lilia, grew envious and tried to undermine her, but Sveta stood firm. Lilia’s scheming and eventual betrayal were discovered, but Sveta didn’t let it affect her.
As time passed, Sveta found herself becoming close to the Kruglov family, especially after saving Lilia from drowning. Their strained relationship slowly healed, and Sveta gained a sense of belonging. However, Lilia’s jealousy resurfaced when Sveta’s kindness and dedication to the children were recognized.
But Sveta’s journey wasn’t over. The truth about Alexey’s betrayal and his family’s cruelty continued to haunt her. When Stepa, the youngest of the twins, went missing, Lilia’s behavior became suspicious. Sveta, under the pressure of false accusations, stood her ground. Sasha, despite his initial disbelief, eventually came to understand the truth, and Lilia’s scheming was exposed.
Sveta’s strength and resilience in the face of adversity were recognized by the Kruglov family. As she raised her son and the twins, she realized that, despite the hardships, she had built a new life. Her heart, once broken by Alexey’s betrayal, was healed by the love and trust of the children she cared for. She had found a new family, one built on trust, love, and the strength to overcome life’s challenges.
