« Mais moi, Denovon Rowland, j’ai besoin d’une femme. » Le cœur d’Emily fit un bond. « Je ne veux plus aller à un autre rendez-vous arrangé », dit-il d’une voix ferme et assurée. « Alors, si tu es d’accord… » Il se pencha légèrement vers elle, baissant la voix juste assez pour lui donner l’impression que le monde s’était figé. « Marions-nous. » Emily eut un petit halètement, stupéfaite. « Je te promets que tu ne seras pas désavantagée », ajouta-t-il doucement. Cela la frappa plus durement que n’importe quelle insulte ou trahison qu’elle avait subie. Ça… ce n’était pas quelque chose à quoi elle s’attendait. Pas aujourd’hui. Pas de sa part. Ses lèvres s’entrouvrirent, mais aucun son n’en sortit. Elle était pétrifiée. Denovon s’en rendit compte. Il lui adressa un petit sourire… confiant, calme et assuré. « Réfléchis-y cette nuit, dit-il. J’attendrai ta réponse. » Et sur ces mots, il se retourna   Trahi par sa famille, par son fiancé, et laissée sans rien. Emily Carter avait tout perdu.

For five years, I let my husband’s mistress take whatever she wanted. My birthday. His time. His attention. The tenderness that used to belong to me. I even told myself I could survive watching my own son choose her over me, because a damaged family still had to be better than none at all. It wasn’t. This year, my husband took his mistress away for their birthday trip, and my son ran straight into her arms and called her Mom. That was the moment I finally understood something I should have learned five years ago: no matter how much of myself I gave to that family, I would never be the one they chose. So I filed for divorce. None of them believed I could really walk away. My husband thought I was bluffing. His mistress thought she had won. My son did not even look back. None of them believed I could really walk away. Then a call came from overseas: Matteo Bellandi’s wife was dead. This time, I left them with nothing but my ashes.
