I sobbed, my back bowing off the bed, but he only chuckled, working me open with slow, cruel, torturous strokes. "Devil." He chuckled, low and wicked. "You keep saying that."

« Tu vas me tuer pour t'avoir trahi ? » demandai-je, le cœur battant la chamade. Il s'approcha, me saisit par le cou et me murmura à l'oreille : « Enlève tes vêtements et écarte les jambes pour moi, petit oiseau. » Il était le parrain de la mafia, impitoyable, craint, et il devait une épouse. Mon frère était criblé de dettes. Pour sauver sa peau, il m'a vendue à la Cosa Nostra.

Si Celeste Reyes ay ang perpektong asawa—tahimik, masunurin, at tinitiis ang kawalan ng pakialam ng kanyang asawang si Iñigo Samonte. Sa loob ng tatlong taon, naniwala siyang sapat na ang pagmamahal niya para baguhin ang matigas na puso ng bilyonaryo at makuha ang atensyon nito. ​Ngunit sa gabi ng kanilang ikatlong anibersaryo, napatunayan niyang siya ay isang "proxy" lamang. Walang pasabing iniwan siya ni Iñigo sa gitna ng selebrasyon—hindi dahil sa trabaho, kundi para sunduin ang nagbabalik na ex-girlfriend nito. Doon napagtanto ni Celeste na kahit anong pagsilbi niya, hindi kailanman magiging kanya ang pusong nakalaan na sa iba. Wasak at pagod na, ibinigay ni Celeste ang divorce papers.

Sa loob ng tatlong buwan, kailangan nilang magpanggap na masaya sa ilalim ng iisang bubong. Ngayong desidido na si Celeste na bumitaw, biglang nakaramdam ng selos si Iñigo nang lumitaw ang kanyang karibal na pinsan upang kunin ang atensyon ng kanyang asawa. Sa gitna ng pagnanasang makuha muli ang loob ni Celeste at ang pait ng kanilang nakaraan, matututunan kaya ni Iñigo na totoong mahalin ang asawa bago maubos ang natitirang mga araw? O huli na ang lahat para sa isang lalaking natututo lang magpahalaga kung kailan mawawala na sa kanya ang lahat?

Tant pis. De toute façon, j'allais mourir, alors peu importe avec qui il était. Autant le laisser réaliser son vœu.

Claire Morel avait un mariage au-dessus de sa condition, mais cette ascension était comme un poignard dans le cœur. Mariée depuis sept ans à Gabriel Morel, un homme imprévisible, elle n'était à ses yeux qu'une ombre, ignorée, traitée avec une indifférence glaciale. Elle gardait l'espoir qu'un jour, après la tempête, le ciel serait clair et que sa vie serait enfin complète et heureuse. Sous une neige tourbillonnante, lors d'un anniversaire que seule elle retenait, elle a enfin compris : toute cette famille était liée par le sang, tandis qu'elle restait à jamais une étrangère, une étrangère sans lien. Son mari lui en voulait d'avoir brisé le mariage arrangé qu'il avait depuis l'enfance avec son amie d'enfance, et leur fils ne manquait jamais une occasion de lui rappeler qu'elle ne ferait jamais le poids face à cette figure idéalisée que son père avait toujours aimée. Son mari et son fils l'ont trahie pour une autre femme, qu'ils ont traitée comme un membre de la famille. Face à ce chaos absurde, elle a senti son cœur se réduire en cendres et a demandé le divorce. Elle a renoncé à la garde de son enfant et a opéré une métamorphose impressionnante, devenant une créatrice de mode internationale renommée, ainsi qu'une peintre de génie. Ses œuvres, rares et précieuses, étaient très recherchées par de nombreuses célébrités. Pourtant, alors qu'elle a renoncé, son mari et son fils refusaient de la laisser partir. Son fils pleurait en criant : « Tu es ma maman ! Tu ne peux pas prendre un autre enfant dans tes bras ! » Et même son mari, d'ordinaire si distant, a commencé à lui coller aux basques, refusant catégoriquement le divorce : « C'est toi qui m'as choisi en premier, alors tu dois aller jusqu'au bout ! Divorce ? N'y pense même pas ! »
