Filipino Culture And Values Essay

Le soir de notre neuvième anniversaire de mariage, mon mari Rémy, l'homme qui dirigeait la famille mafieuse le jour et faisait palpiter mon cœur la nuit, ne m'a pas offert de roses. Il les a données à Lise, son assistante personnelle. Sous le lustre où nous avions dansé en tant que jeunes mariés, il s'est tourné vers moi avec le charme qu'il avait autrefois lorsqu'il me murmurait son amour à l'oreille, la voix glacée. « Elle est enceinte », a-t-il dit, comme si cela expliquait tout, « et elle est difficile en ce qui concerne la nourriture. A partir de maintenant, tu devras lui préparer trois repas, sans répétition. » « Elle est sensible et n'aime pas dormir seule, alors tu devras mettre tes affaires dans la chambre d'amis. » La pièce était silencieuse. Je n'ai pas crié, je n'ai pas pleuré, j'ai juste pris ma valise et je me suis dirigée vers la porte. Le majordome a essayé de m'arrêter, et Rémy n'a même pas sourcillé. « Elle reviendra », a-t-il dit en secouant paresseusement son verre de vin rouge, « et dans trois jours, elle pleurera tout en me suppliant. » Les invités ont éclaté de rire. Ils ont parié un million d'euros devant moi. Ils pariaient pour savoir si j'allais supplier Rémy de me laisser entrer avant demain matin, comme un chien errant sans dignité. Mais ils ne savaient pas que j'avais déjà reçu le jeton de famille de mon vrai père et que j'avais réservé mon vol de départ. Cette fois, je partirais vraiment.

Le jour de notre anniversaire de mariage, la « muse » de mon mari a posté une échographie d’un fœtus sur Facebook, accompagnée d’un texte : « Merci à cet homme extraordinaire qui m’a soutenue pendant dix ans et m’a offert un fils. » J’ai failli m’évanouir en voyant ça, mais j’ai quand même laissé un commentaire : « Tu as eu un fils avec lui tandis que tu sais qu’il est marié ? » Quelques minutes plus tard, mon mari m’a appelée, furieux : « Tu vois le mal partout ! Je ne fais que lui prêter mon sperme pour une FIV. Elle voulait juste être maman célibataire. » Puis il a ajouté : « En plus, Réa est tombée enceinte du premier coup. Toi, tu as essayé trois fois et toujours rien. Ton ventre ne sert à rien ! » Trois jours avant, il m’avait dit qu’il partait à l’étranger pour affaires. Il ne répondait ni à mes appels ni à mes messages. Je pensais qu’il était occupé. Mais non. Il était avec elle pour son rendez-vous de suivi de grossesse. Une demi-heure plus tard, Réa a partagé une photo d’un festin. « Marre de la cuisine au Pays M. Et Luc a cuisiné pour moi, tout ce que j’aime ! » Je regardais les résultats de ma prise de sang confirmant ma grossesse, mes mains tremblantes, alors que ma joie se transformait en désespoir glacé. Huit ans d’amour fou. Six ans de compromis douloureux après le mariage. Cette fois, c’est fini. Je lâche tout.

« Je t'ai aimé. Je tenais à toi. J'ai tout abandonné pour toi, mais tu m'as pris mon rêve et tu l'as confié à quelqu'un d'autre. » Je soutins son regard avec une telle intensité en m'approchant de lui qu'il tituba en arrière. « Tu m'as trahie, comme si ce n'était pas suffisant. Tu as essayé de me tuer, mais voilà la différence entre toi et moi, Tyler : je ne vais pas te donner le luxe de la mort, je vais te faire regarder brûler tout ce qui t'est cher. » « Je vais te faire regarder brûler ! » **** Trahie par l'homme même pour qui elle avait tant sacrifié, Luna, autrefois compréhensive et attentionnée, de la meute de Wolfhound, est rejetée par son mari pour une autre qu'il croyait être sa compagne. Alors qu'elle fuit pour sauver sa vie, un accident lui vole la mémoire pendant un court instant. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque l'homme qui lui a planté un couteau si profondément dans le dos qu'il lui a blessé le cœur de manière irréversible réapparaît soudainement devant elle avec un titre qui lui revient de droit ? Les Alphas des Triplettes sont son seul espoir. Alors, lorsque ses anciennes aventures sexuelles d'esclave sexuelle se transforment en un plan de vengeance, Celeste doit gérer le désir et l'affection qu'elle ressent pour les frères afin d'atteindre son objectif à tout prix. Mais s'agira-t-il vraiment de vengeance ou leur relation va-t-elle se transformer en quelque chose d'inattendu ?
