The story begins with Jack's realization that his life is crumbling. He's addicted to hashish wine, cocktails, wine, and cigars, which have become essential to his existence. He acknowledges his physical decline and dependence on these substances.
In his youth, Jack was a strong and wealthy businessman with immense stamina for alcohol and sex. He had two wives: Swan, whom he respected, and Julian, from Gambia, who fulfilled his physical desires. Jack provided Julian with a house and allowance, but with one condition: she could never marry anyone else.
Julian tolerated this arrangement but longed for equal respect. When Jack discovered her desires, he became angry and abandoned her, taking away her house and allowance. Julian was left with nothing but her beauty and love for Jack.
Years passed, and Swan grew older, eventually divorcing Jack due to his declining health and inability to satisfy her physically. Jack, still addicted and selfish, sought Julian again. Despite Julian's advancing age, Jack didn't recognize him, but Julian immediately recognized Jack.
Jack, filled with tears, hugged Julian, but showed no shame or regret for his past actions. Julian, still blindly in love, continued to support Jack financially and emotionally, despite his continued drunkenness and occasional abuse.
