Consummatum Est

Toda véspera de Natal, o herdeiro da família mafiosa Marco, Adrian Marco, deve seguir a tradição da família: sortear um nome para decidir se pode se casar comigo ou não. Porque eu, Irene Cast, não nasci na máfia. A menos que ele tire o papel com o meu nome, ele não pode me tomar como esposa. Por quatro anos, Adrian sorteou quatro vezes. E nenhuma vez saiu o meu nome. Sempre acreditei que ele brigava com a família por minha causa, que estava disposto a arriscar perder o posto de Don só para me escolher. Toda vez que falhava, ele me abraçava com força e sussurrava: – Tudo bem. Sempre tem o ano que vem. E eu o amava tanto que doía. Doía a ponto de eu aceitar esperar, ano após ano. Este ano, eu disse a mim mesma: Se ele ainda não tirar meu nome… vou trocar o resultado em segredo. Cheguei de mansinho à porta do escritório de Adrian e ouvi seu irmão mais novo perguntar: – Don… todo ano você tira o nome da Irene. Por que finge que não saiu? É porque você ainda não conseguiu deixar a Sera ir? E ele apenas respondeu, com a voz fria: – A Sera precisa de mim para algo urgente. Faça como sempre: troque o nome da Irene por um papel em branco. Ele saiu sem olhar para trás. Em vez de trocar, o irmão jogou o papel em branco no lixo, deixou o papel com meu nome sobre a mesa e saiu apressado atrás de Adrian. Entrei no escritório, peguei o papel em branco do lixo e substituí pelo que tinha meu nome. Observei meu próprio nome cair na lixeira. Adrian… eu não quero mais esperar e casar com você. Vou te conceder a sua escolha.

On the tenth day of my postpartum recovery, my husband, Deputy Commander Harvey Wyatt, uploads a photo of me breastfeeding my newborn in a disheveled state to the department's group chat. Obviously, that photo was taken without my knowledge. "See? After having a kid, she's as loose as a sack. It makes me sick just looking at her. I much prefer my side piece, who's nice and tight." A few female colleagues send sweating emojis to the group. The majority of the chat, however, consists of the male colleagues' perverse silence. While I continue to burp my baby with one hand, my tears land on the screen. In order to give birth to this baby, my pelvic bone was sawn in half, which causes me so much pain that I can't even walk properly. But all I get in return is my own husband body-shaming me in front of hundreds of people. I don't bother arguing with Harvey at all. Half an hour later, I drag my broken body all the way to the commander's office with a divorce agreement as well as the chat history over the past ten days, which has been printed out, in my hands.

Un par de días antes del Año Nuevo, Diego —mi novio— decidió irse a la playa con su asistente. Yo no dije nada. No lloré, no grité, no hice escándalo. Incluso lo ayudé a empacar, con todo el cariño del mundo. ¿Y él qué hizo? Se burló. Me dijo que, ahora que estaba embarazada, por fin había aprendido a comportarme. Apenas se fue, me fui directo a abortar. En mi vida pasada, había intentado retenerlo con ese bebé. Y lo había logrado: él no se había marchado. Al final, su asistente había ido sola a la playa, y ahí la habían matado de una forma brutal. Diego siempre fingía que nada le afectaba. Siempre con esa cara tranquila, como si todo le diera igual. Pero, cuando estaba a punto de dar a luz, fue él quien me abrió el vientre con sus propias manos. Apretó con fuerza… hasta que asesinó a mi hijo. Y fue en ese momento cuando lo entendí todo: siempre me había despreciado, y desde la muerte de aquella mujer… me odiaba sin medida. Por eso, ahora, que había vuelto a nacer, pensaba dejarlo sin nada.
