View MoreLa tablette pĂšse Ă peine dans ma main. Un objet si fin, si Ă©lĂ©gant, si froid, et pourtant il contient l'entiĂšretĂ© de ma dĂ©cadence, toute ma misĂšre affective compressĂ©e dans un Ă©cran de verre trempĂ©. Je fais dĂ©filer les profils d'un geste lent, presque dĂ©sinvolte, comme si je feuilletais un catalogue de meubles pour un appartement que je n'habiterais jamais vraiment. Des visages lisses. Des torses sculptĂ©s. Des regards qui promettent l'extase sans jamais menacer de rester au matin, sans jamais menacer de poser des questions, sans jamais menacer de vouloir plus que ce que je donne. VoilĂ quatre ans que je procĂšde ainsi. Quatre ans que chaque soirĂ©e s'achĂšve dans la mĂȘme chorĂ©graphie silencieuse, la mĂȘme transaction clinique, le mĂȘme vide au rĂ©veil. Quatre ans que j'achĂšte des corps comme on achĂšte des antidouleurs, pour tenir une nuit de plus, pour repousser le spectre de l'aube et de ses silences insupportables.
La suite présidentielle du Diamant Bleu est silencieuse autour de moi. Trop silencieuse. C'est pour cela que je la remplis, nuit aprÚs nuit, avec des corps qui ne demandent rien, qui ne posent pas de questions, qui ne cherchent pas à gratter le vernis de ma façade. Des corps qui prennent l'argent et disparaissent avec la premiÚre lueur de l'aube, emportant avec eux l'illusion d'une présence, l'illusion d'une chaleur, l'illusion que je ne suis pas complÚtement seul au monde. C'est le protocole. C'est ma rÚgle. La seule qui tienne encore debout dans ma vie, la seule digue qui contient encore l'océan noir de ce que je refuse de ressentir, de ce que j'ai enterré sous des couches de succÚs, de pouvoir et d'argent.
Mon doigt glisse sur l'Ă©cran. Un visage apparaĂźt, puis un autre. Tous calibrĂ©s, tous parfaits, tous vides. L'agence Ombres et DĂ©sirs connaĂźt mes exigences par cĆur, gravĂ©es dans leurs dossiers comme un code pĂ©nal. Jamais le mĂȘme homme deux fois. Jamais de marques visibles. Jamais de baiser. Jamais de vĂ©ritable intimitĂ©, seulement l'illusion de la chair, le simulacre de la passion, la mĂ©canique des corps qui s'entrechoquent sans jamais se rencontrer vraiment. Et surtout, un dĂ©part avant sept heures, contre une enveloppe discrĂšte dont le montant suffirait Ă faire vivre une famille pendant un an. C'est une fortune que je dilapide pour ne pas dormir seul. Pour ne pas affronter le silence de cette chambre trop grande, de ce lit trop froid, de cette vie trop parfaite, de ce palais de verre et d'acier que j'ai bĂąti autour de moi comme un sarcophage.
L'Ă©cran s'illumine sous mes doigts. Un nouveau visage. Un nom : Livio. Vingt-trois ans. Artiste. Corps Ă©lancĂ©, pommettes hautes, une bouche qui semble dĂ©fier l'objectif du photographe, une bouche qui semble refuser de se plier aux conventions du catalogue. Mais ce sont les yeux qui m'arrĂȘtent, qui me transpercent, qui me clouent sur place. Quelque chose dans ce regard. Une intensitĂ© qui n'appartient pas aux habituels modĂšles de l'agence. Les autres fixent l'objectif avec une soumission apprise, une disponibilitĂ© fabriquĂ©e, une promesse commercialisable, un dĂ©sir synthĂ©tique qu'ils ont rĂ©pĂ©tĂ© devant un miroir. Lui, il regarde comme s'il pouvait traverser l'Ă©cran, traverser la distance, traverser le temps. Comme s'il voyait dĂ©jĂ ce que je cache derriĂšre mes costumes sur mesure et mes silences calculĂ©s. Comme s'il me dĂ©fiait de le choisir, comme s'il savait que je le choisirais, comme s'il m'attendait depuis toujours.
Je pose la tablette sur la table basse en marbre. Le geste est sec, presque agacĂ©. Mon whisky tiĂ©dit dans son verre de cristal, les glaçons fondus depuis longtemps, comme ma patience, comme ma capacitĂ© Ă tolĂ©rer ces regards qui ne demandent rien, ces corps qui ne rĂ©sistent pas, ces nuits qui se rĂ©pĂštent dans une boucle infinie et stĂ©rile. Je n'aime pas ce que ce visage provoque en moi. Une curiositĂ© aiguĂ«. Une inquiĂ©tude sourde. Un frĂ©missement au creux des reins que je croyais avoir Ă©teint sous des annĂ©es de discipline et de contrĂŽle absolu. Je devrais glisser vers le profil suivant. Prendre un modĂšle plus docile, plus lisse, plus interchangeable. C'est ce que je fais toujours. C'est ce que je devrais faire ce soir encore, ce soir comme tous les autres soirs, ce soir comme un automate qui a oubliĂ© qu'il avait un cĆur.
Je reprends la tablette. Mes doigts composent le message Ă l'agence avec des gestes prĂ©cis, mĂ©caniques, des gestes d'homme d'affaires qui passe une commande. Un simple numĂ©ro de profil. Une heure d'arrivĂ©e. Les conditions habituelles. Rien de plus. Rien qui trahisse l'hĂ©sitation, le trouble, la sensation Ă©trange que je viens peut-ĂȘtre de commettre une erreur irrĂ©parable. Je fixe ces yeux sur l'Ă©cran quelques secondes de plus, ces yeux qui semblent me dire "je sais qui tu es vraiment", puis j'Ă©teins l'appareil. Le silence retombe, plus lourd qu'avant, comme chargĂ© d'une attente nouvelle, d'une promesse que je n'ai pas formulĂ©e mais qui flotte dans l'air comme la fumĂ©e de mon cigare Ă©teint.
ALEX The air in Alexâs office was unusually still, a sharp contrast to the quiet hum of the house beyond its thick doors. He leaned back in his chair, letting his fingers drum a steady rhythm on the polished oak desk as he reviewed the quarterly reports. Numbers were his escape, a world of certainty and structure in the chaos of recent days. A faint flicker on one of the computer monitors caught his eye. The security feed from the backyard cameras, a constant presence on his secondary screen, glitched briefly before returning to normal. A chill ran down his spine, a quiet instinct whispering that something wasnât right. Moments later, the office lights flickered ominously, and thenâdarkness. The room plunged into an eerie silence, broken only by the faint hum of the emergency generator kicking in. The monitors blinked back to life, but something was wrong. The primary security system was offline, and the usually seamless streams of footage were replaced by static. âDamn it,â
Alexâs POV The next morning, Alex woke with a heaviness in his chest, as if the weight of his own thoughts had transformed into something tangible overnight. The promise heâd made to Brie lingered in his mind: today, he would tell the family everything. After breakfast, Alex gathered everyone in the living room. The kids were scattered across the plush couches, their expressions ranging from curious to mildly annoyed. Brie sat beside him, her reassuring hand on his arm. Michael and Mason were also present, their faces solemn, already understanding the gravity of the situation. âIs this another one of those family meetings?â Damien groaned, leaning back with an exaggerated sigh. âCanât it wait? I was about to beat Dave at FIFA.â âYou wish,â Dave shot back, but his teasing tone faded when he caught the serious look on Alexâs face. âEnough,â Brie said gently. âThis isnât just a meeting. Your father has something important to share with all of us.â The room fell silent, all eye
THIRD PERSON POV The days following Lisa's period passed in a haze of meetings, phone calls, and strategizing. Alex found himself more on edge than usual. He had always prided himself on being a man who thrived under pressure, but the reappearance of Ricardo Matteo was like a splinter lodged deep beneath his skinâimpossible to ignore. He couldnât shake the unease, no matter how hard he tried to focus on the present.Brie noticed it, of course. She always did. And while she did her best to maintain an air of normalcy for the kids, Alex could see the concern etched into her face when she thought no one was looking.The kids, perceptive as ever, had picked up on the tension too. Lisa, in particular, had grown uncharacteristically quiet over the past few days, while Damien and Dave seemed to channel their unease into endless teasing and roughhousing. It was their way of coping, Alex supposed, but it only added to the chaos brewing inside him.By Friday afternoon, Brie decided it was tim
BRIE The blaring sound of my alarm clock woke me up from my deep slumber. Reaching to switch it off, I checked the time displayed on it. 5:40am. Reaching to my left, I found it empty, Alex must have gone for a workout in the gym. I decided to lay in bed for a while to have some me time before a certain toddler waltz in as usual demanding for food. For the past week, Luca has been waking me up early, demanding breakfast, I guess it's part of his growth process but I don't mind, it gives me and him some ââ mama and Lucaâ time. We cuddle, he plays with his toys, I watch him while I drink my cup of coffee before the older ones start waking up. I pick Luca up, placing him in his play pen. â Luca baby, mommy is going to wake sissy up, okayâ. I cooed. He gives me a cute nod. Making my way upstairs to Emma's room, I slowly open the door to find her already waking up. â Good morning sweetheart,â "Good morning mommyâ. â Did you sleep well?â. I asked. â Yes mommy â. â Ok now let's fresh
