La quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois où mon fiancé, Draven, a raccroché, je me suis traînée jusqu'à l'église familiale, le diagnostic d'insuffisance rénale terminale serré contre moi. « Père, je veux rompre avec la famille des Roche et rompre mes fiançailles avec Draven Frost. » À ces mots, mes parents sont arrivés en trombe, accompagnés de ma sœur adoptive, Bianca. Mon père, le mastermind de ma famille, n'a pas hésité : il m'a giflée en pleine joue, là, devant le prêtre. « Ton fiancé est un leader respecté dans notre monde et tu oses l'humilier de cette manière ! » « Tu as fait honte à notre famille devant toute l'organisation ! » Ma mère m'a arraché le diagnostic des mains, après un regard rapide, elle a ricané : « Tu as encore joué à la malade pour attirer l'attention, n'est-ce pas ? Qu'est-ce que tu veux faire cette fois ? » Ma sœur adoptive, Bianca, s'est accrochée aux bras de nos parents, sa voix étranglée de larmes : « Je suis tellement désolée. Tu peux prendre ma place au gala. Arrête seulement de tourmenter papa et maman, s'il te plaît ! » J'ai essuyé le sang qui coulait de mon nez et j'ai répété calmement mes paroles au prêtre. « Je ne suis plus la fille de la famille des Roche. Je ne suis pas digne d'une alliance avec les Frost. » « Je vais mourir dans trois jours. Je voulais que ces fiançailles soient rompues avant ce moment. »
