Time hasn't flowed. It has solidified, poured into a new, indestructible form. It has melded into the walls of this house, into the rhythm of the seasons in the garden, into the twin and perfectly synchronized growth of what we have built.

  • The Revenge of One Humiliated   CHAPTER 203 : THE HATRED

    ÉlianorWe are still there, in this café, face to face, our hands linked, our gazes intertwined, our tears dried on our cheeks, our hearts beating, beating, beating, as one, as two, as a thousand, like everything we have, everything we don't have, everything we will have, if we want, if we dare, if we believe, if we hope, if we love. I look at her, I look at her with her eyes that are mine, her hair that is mine, her smile that is mine, everything that makes her my mother, that makes me her daughter, that we are bound, forever, for eternity, for the end of time, for everything we have, everything we don't have, everything we will have, if we want, if we dare, if we believe, if we hope, if we love, and I say to her, in a voice I do not recognize, a voice that comes from somewhere inside me I had never explored, a child's voice, a voice that is afraid, a voice that hurts, a voice that hopes, a voice that believes, a voice that loves, a voice that tells the truth, the truth I hid, I fled

    Viviane looks at me, she looks at me for a long time, a very long time, with her eyes that are mine, that are those of my children, that are those of Marcus, that are those of this family we are building, stone by stone, day after day, hope after hope, forgiveness after forgiveness, love after love, and she says to me, in a voice that is nothing more than a whisper, a voice that comes from somewhere inside her she had never explored, a child's voice, a voice that is afraid, a voice that is in pain, a voice that hopes, a voice that believes, a voice that loves, a voice that tells the truth, the truth she hid, that she fled, that she forgot, for twenty-four years, for a whole life, for a whole existence, and that is here, now, before her, before me, before us, waiting, hoping, fearing, dreading, wishing, wanting to come out, to free itself, to be spoken, to be lived, at last, after all these years, after all these lies, after all these fears, after all these flights, at

    "The accident was terrible," she says in a voice that is nothing more than a whisper, a voice that comes from somewhere inside her she had never explored, a child's voice, a voice that is afraid, a voice that is in pain, a voice that hopes, a voice that believes, a voice that loves, a voice that tells the truth, the truth she hid, that she fled, that she forgot, for twenty-four years, for a whole life, for a whole existence. "I lost consciousness, I woke up in the hospital, I no longer knew who I was, where I was, what I had done, what I had been, what I was, what I would be, I had forgotten everything, everything, absolutely everything, my name, my face, my life, my husband, my daughter, you, Élianor, I had forgotten everything, everything, everything, everything, and Sabrina was there, Sabrina was at my bedside, Sabrina was telling me she was my sister, that I had had an accident, that I had lost my memory, that I had to rest, that I had to heal, that I had to

  • The Revenge of One Humiliated   CHAPTER 200 : THE ACCOUNT

    ÉlianorWe sit down at the table, face to face, our hands touch, our eyes look at each other, our hearts beat, our souls speak to each other, without words, without noise, without anything but this presence, this life, this love, everything we have, everything we don't have, everything we will have, if we want, if we dare, if we believe, if we hope, if we love. Viviane takes a deep breath, she closes her eyes, she opens them again, she looks at me, she looks at me with her eyes that are mine, that are those of my children, that are those of Marcus, that are those of this family we are building, stone by stone, day after day, hope after hope, forgiveness after forgiveness, love after love, and she begins to speak, she begins to tell, to say, to share, to give, to offer, to love, everything she lived through, everything she endured, everything she suffered, everything she lost, everything she gave, everything she sacrificed, everything she sold, everything she betrayed, everything she a

  • The Revenge of One Humiliated   CHAPTER 199 : A MOTHER'S ARMS

    ÉlianorShe takes me in her arms, she takes me the way you take your daughter, the way you take your child, the way you take your life, your heart, your soul, everything you have, everything you are, everything you will be, forever, for eternity, until the end of time, for everything we have, everything we don't have, everything we will have, if we want, if we dare, if we believe, if we hope, if we love. Her arms are warm, her arms are soft, her arms are those of a mother, the ones I have always searched for, always wanted, always hoped for, always believed in, always loved, without knowing them, without ever having touched them, without ever having felt them, without ever having loved them, but loving them, because they are my mother's arms, because she is my mother, because that is what it is, a mother, arms that take you, that hold you, that warm you, that protect you, that defend you, that keep you, that save you, arms that are there, always there, no matter what happens, no matte
