Après dix ans d’amour avec Livio, il a officiellement annoncé qu’il était en couple avec quelqu’un d’autre. La petite amie qu’il a dévoilée au public n’étais pas moi, c’était une actrice montante. Les fans ont explosé de joie, inondant les réseaux de plus de 10 mille commentaires sous l’annonce, faisant de cette nouvelle l’une des plus populaires du moment. De mon côté, j’ai publié une photo d’une bague en diamant et ai annoncé fièrement mon mariage. Aussitôt, mon téléphone a vibré : un appel de Livio. « Efface ton tweet, ne cherche pas à me forcer à t’épouser de cette façon. Tu sais très bien que ma carrière est en plein essor et que je viens d’annoncer ma nouvelle petite amie au monde. Il n’y a aucune chance que je t’épouse… » « M. Breguet, vous n’êtes pas mon marié. Si vous voulez, vous pouvez venir à mon mariage. » J’ai raccroché sans attendre, et Livio est devenu fou, appelant sans cesse, encore et encore, toute la nuit. Mais je ne répondais pas. Le jour de mon mariage, alors que je m’apprêtais à dire « oui », il est arrivé en trombe, les yeux rouges, et m’a demandé, presque désespéré : « Tu veux bien t’enfuir avec moi ? » Moi : « Quoi ? » Comment il peut être aussi effronté ? S’enfuir avec la femme d’un autre, après tout ce qu’il venait de me faire ?

Alors, après un temps, ils ont commencé à y creuser. Et c’est ainsi qu’ils ont fini par retrouver mes os, éparpillés au fond des bois...
