Catherine Parr Six

Je m'appelle Isabella Wright. La cinquième année de mon mariage avec le Don d'une puissante famille mafieuse, je découvre que le talisman de protection qu'il m'a offert me provoque des maux de tête chaque fois que je le porte sur moi. Je retire le petit sachet dissimulé à l'intérieur du talisman et l'apporte à l'hôpital Cursley. Le médecin examine le sachet, puis relève la tête et m'explique qu'il contient un type de poison à action lente, qui non seulement endommage progressivement le corps de la victime, mais finit aussi par la rendre stérile avec le temps. Je fonds en larmes et m'écrie : « Mais c'est impossible ! C'est mon mari qui me l'a donné ! Il s'appelle Vincenzo Cursley. C'est aussi le propriétaire de cet hôpital ! » Le médecin me regarde, visiblement déconcerté. « Mademoiselle, je crois que vous devriez consulter un psychiatre. Je connais très bien M. Cursley et son épouse. Ils sont extrêmement proches et affectueux. De plus, Mme Cursley a donné naissance à un petit garçon il n'y a pas si longtemps. Ils se trouvent tous les deux en ce moment même dans le service VIP, en train d'admirer leur enfant. » Puis le médecin sort son téléphone et me montre une photo. Vincenzo y a apparu, vêtu de son habituel costume noir, avec l'emblème de la famille Cursley brodé sur la poitrine. Il a tenu un bébé dans ses bras. Et la femme qui s'est tenue à ses côtés… Je la connais. Elle s'appelle Claudia Henderson. Et Vincenzo l'a toujours présentée comme sa sœur adoptive.

I came back for the holidays after years of being away only to be reminded by the one reason I left. Damon my crazy ex, made sure he humiliated me as always, he made sure he reduces me to nothing and my family watched as usual because they think it's just our little games love. Now they want a reunion, they want us together, they want our love to kick off again and they want me to play the old role of his girlfriend and fiancee. Little did they know that he wouldn't allow that. Xavier… Damon's uncle. The one who never speaks only when it needs to. The one who claimed me when I never expected it. But I don't want him, I don't want any of these relatives. I want some else for my revenge, I want to destroy on Damon slowly. So let my family prepare, let them celebrate and then watch me crash it all on their faces. Now all I need is a right man for this task and I don't want Xavier as my tool…. I need someone else if only he will let me off.

On the day of my wedding anniversary, I was cleaning my house when I found a picture album. As it turned out, my husband had been religiously taking pictures with the girl of his dreams every year on this precise date. He had been doing it since he was forty years old and he was now sixty years old. His hair had progressed from a jet black to a faded white and yet, he kept up the tradition. There was a written message in his handwriting at the back of the picture that read, “Eternal Love.” Since he doesn't love me, I will no longer bother washing his clothes and cooking for him. I will no longer care for his children and grandchildren. I may have foolishly wasted half of my life, but it was not too late to make a change.

Xena Xander returned to the past and found herself back in 1989. That year, she was thirty. Her husband, Julian Zane, was thirty-five. He had just become the youngest academician at the National Academy of Sciences. He was a national talent, and his future looked exceptionally promising. They had a pair of ten-year-old twins. Everyone said she was lucky. She was so lucky to have a good husband and sweet children. But the first thing she did after returning to the past was consult a lawyer and prepare two divorce agreements. She called Julian’s office. When the assistant realized it was her, the response was brief. “Xena, Professor Zane is busy. He doesn’t have time.” She went to the research institute to look for him, but the guard stopped her at the entrance. “Sorry, Professor Zane is unavailable right now.” After three days, she took the divorce agreement and went to see Julian’s first love. She placed the agreement in front of Moon Jensen and calmly said, “Please have Julian sign the divorce agreement. From now on, he and the two children belong to you.”

« Tu as ce genre de beauté, pas vrai ? Celle qui rend les hommes fous. Cette pièce était pleine de filles nues, mais toi, dès que tu es entrée, ils ont tous perdu la tête. Ils te voulaient. » Ses doigts ont glissé le long de ma mâchoire avant d'attraper mon menton pour le relever. « Ce qu'ils ignorent, c'est que tu es déjà à moi. » J'ai dégluti avec difficulté et retenu mon souffle. Il s'est installé dans un fauteuil, a déboutonné sa veste et s'est adossé nonchalamment. Les jambes écartées, il avait l'allure d'un roi sur son trône. « À partir de maintenant, Ariella Costa, tu es mon jouet », sa voix s'est faite plus basse, plus dangereuse, « je fais ce que je veux de toi. Ton corps, ton esprit et ton âme m'appartiennent. » Un sourire a étiré ses lèvres. Ses yeux ne quittaient pas les miens : « Tu es à moi ! »
