Adoptive Synonym

Le jour où j'ai décidé de donner mon corps à la science, ma famille s'est rassemblée autour de ma sœur adoptive, Chloé, pour fêter son admission dans un programme expérimental de pointe. Celle qui était censée avoir un cancer du cerveau, c'était moi. Mais Chloé avait profité de la position de mon mari, Zane, à l'hôpital pour échanger ses dossiers médicaux sains contre mon diagnostic en phase terminale. Elle m'a volé ainsi la seule chance que j'avais de survivre. Et le pire ? Tout le monde l'a applaudie. La douleur est devenue insupportable. J'ai lutté pour rester présente, jusqu'au moment où j'ai surpris les infirmières chuchotant : « Heureusement que le docteur Zane a obtenu cette place pour Chloé. Ils disaient qu'il ne lui restait que trois jours à vivre. » Alors, pendant les soixante-douze dernières heures de ma vie, j'ai tout lâché, en silence. Quand j'ai remis à Chloé les manuscrits originaux de mes romans, dans lesquels j'avais mis toute mon âme, mon père et mon frère m'ont adressé un sourire satisfait. Quand Zane a décidé d'exaucer le vœu soi-disant ultime de Chloé en l'épousant, il m'a tendu les papiers du divorce. J'ai signé sans la moindre hésitation. Il a soupiré et m'a félicitée d'être enfin raisonnable. Et quand c'est moi qui ai poussé notre fille, Olivia, à appeler Chloé « maman », Olivia s'est exclamée que sa nouvelle maman était la meilleure. « Ne t'inquiète pas, » m'a rassurée Zane. « C'est juste pour la protéger pour l'instant. Une fois qu'elle sera partie, tout reviendra vers toi. » J'ai tout donné à Chloé, exactement comme ils le voulaient. Alors pourquoi, quand ils ont découvert que tout cela n'était qu'un mensonge abject inventé par Chloé, sont-ils venus pleurer pour ça, en disant que c'est moi qu'ils avaient toujours voulu ?

Lors du Tournoi des Herboristes, ma sœur adoptive, Valérie Duval, a remporté la gloire en volant ma recette. Mais contre toute attente, ce tournoi n'était qu'un prétexte pour choisir une épouse au jeune héritier des Hommes-Serpents, une race réputée stérile, cruelle et difforme. Le soir même, une proposition de l'union est arrivée : ils exigeaient Valérie. À cette annonce, mon fiancé, Adrian Berger, pris de panique, s'est immédiatement uni à elle par le lien conjugal. Valérie s'est dandinée devant moi avec arrogance, exhibant le tatouage lupin au bas de son dos : « Adrian est à moi désormais. Que comptes-tu faire ? Il ne te reste que trois jours avant ton vingt-cinquième anniversaire. Si personne ne t'épouse d'ici là, tu seras assignée aléatoirement à un de ces barbares nomades. » Mais elle se trompait. J'avais un autre choix. Je suis allée droit au salon où mes parents tentaient de rattraper les dégâts causés par Valérie et j'ai déclaré : « Puisqu'elle refuse d'épouser l'héritier du Serpent, je le ferai ! »

Just before her husband and son have her locked in a psychiatric ward, Nora Yates wakes up—reborn, wide awake, and done playing nice. Two men who never truly loved her? Who used and discarded her? Fine. She’s cutting them out for good. When she signs the divorce papers and walks away, the world cheers—including the internet. Oddly, the only one upset is her adoptive sister, the mistress. “Come on, Nora,” she pouts. “I only borrowed your husband and son for my birthday. Was that really worth all this drama?” “You’re lucky to have a husband and son like that. You should count your blessings.” Nora lets out a sharp laugh. “Then consider this ‘blessing’ my personal gift to you.
