9 Naga Menarik Peti Mati

Le jour où je suis tombée enceinte à nouveau, Antoine a décidé de ne plus jouer de l'argent et de travailler dur pour subvenir à nos besoins. J'étais tellement émue que j'ai fondu en larmes et, d'une main tremblante, je lui ai donné tout l'argent que j'avais économisé en travaillant des petits boulots pendant un an. Deux billets sont tombés par terre. Je les ai ramassés et j'ai suivi Antoine dehors. Mais au bout de la ruelle, j'ai vu les hommes de la mafia, ceux qui étaient venus nous harceler pour les dettes, s'incliner devant Antoine avec respect. Il s'est avéré que sa pauvreté n'était qu'une comédie. « Chef, est-ce qu'on doit encore venir faire semblant de vous menacer demain ? » Antoine, assis à l'arrière d'une voiture, a répondu avec nonchalance : « Non, ce ne sera plus nécessaire. » Il a regardé la bague à son doigt et a soupiré doucement. « Toutes ces années ont prouvé que son amour était sincère. La dernière fois, pour payer mes dettes, elle travaillait comme une folle et a fait une fausse couche à cause du surmenage. » « Je lui ai déjà fait assez de mal. Il est temps de lui dire ma véritable identité pour qu'elle n'ait pas à travailler si dur. » Mais à son côté, son amie d'enfance Yvette a fait la moue : « Non, ce n'est pas encore le moment de révéler la vérité ! Et si elle était comme les autres femmes, ne s'intéressait qu'à ton argent et à ton statut de chef de la mafia ? » « Attendons de voir si elle veut donner naissance à ce bébé. » Antoine a réfléchi un instant avant d'acquiescer : « D'accord. De toute façon, elle est déjà avec moi depuis si longtemps, elle ne me quittera pas. » En serrant inconsciemment les billets dans ma main, je me suis retournée et les larmes ont coulé. Antoine, cet amour rempli de mensonges, je n'en voulais plus !

« Papa ! » ai-je crié en tapant du pied sur le carrelage. « Je ne veux pas épouser Vann Morego ! Tu te rends compte qu'il est père célibataire ? » « Je le sais, Agnellino », a dit mon père d'une voix sévère. « Mais ce mariage est dans l'intérêt de notre entreprise. Nous avons besoin de l'aide de Vann, et il ne peut nous aider que si tu es mariée avec lui. » « Mais ce même homme a dix-neuf ans de plus que moi, Père ! » « Peu importe, Rella. Ce qui compte, c'est que tu accomplisses ton devoir d'épouse et que tu prennes soin de lui et de ses enfants. » ************ Dès le début, cela m'a semblé anormal. Pour moi, cela semblait totalement anormal, mais dans le monde de la mafia, ce n'était rien d'extraordinaire. Les mariages arrangés étaient monnaie courante dans les familles mafieuses, alors je m'y attendais. Mais lorsque j'ai appris que mon mari serait Vann Morego, le chef mafieux le plus redouté, j'ai eu un profond sentiment de mort. Notre mariage arrangé posait de nombreux problèmes. Il était père célibataire de deux enfants, et notre différence d'âge était importante : dix-neuf ans. Comment allais-je survivre en tant que mère et épouse soudaine d'un chef mafieux de dix-neuf ans mon aîné ?
