Pendant trois ans, Élodie Mercier s'est comportée comme le toutou fidèle, se pliant en quatre pour Victor Moreau jusqu'à en perdre toute dignité. Mais pour lui, elle n'a jamais été qu'une option de secours, un plan B, une figurante dans sa vie. Dans tout Clairbois, personne n'ignorait que le cœur de Victor Moreau appartenait à Sophie Laurent, et qu'Élodie n'était qu'un pâle substitut. Le jour de son mariage, la vérité lui a éclaté au visage. Kidnappée et torturée pendant trois jours et trois nuits, Élodie a finalement compris la cruelle réalité : non seulement Victor avait refusé de payer sa rançon, mais il en avait profité pour épouser sa précieuse Sophie lors de leur propre cérémonie. Par un miracle inexpliqué, Élodie s'est retrouvée propulsée trois ans en arrière, le jour de leurs fiançailles. Ce même jour où Victor l'avait abandonnée en pleine réception pour voler au secours de Sophie qui venait de tenter de mettre fin à ses jours. Sous les regards moqueurs des invités, Élodie ne s'est ni effondrée ni mise en colère. Au contraire, avec un calme olympien, elle a simplement annoncé rompre leurs fiançailles, en prétextant que le grand PDG du groupe Moreau souffrait d'impuissance. En peu de temps, la nouvelle a fait le tour des réseaux sociaux. Et voilà que ce même homme qui la méprisait tant la plaque contre un mur : « Tu crois que c'est malin de faire ta difficile maintenant, Élodie ? » « Dites-moi, M. Moreau, on ne vous a jamais dit que vous aviez un sacré toupet ? »

J’ai reçu une vidéo pornographique. « Tu aimes ça ? » L’homme qui parle dans la vidéo est mon mari, Mark, que je n’ai pas vu depuis plusieurs mois. Il est nu et sa chemise et son pantalon sont éparpillés sur le sol. Il est en train de faire l’amour avec une femme dont je ne peux pas voir le visage. Les seins dodus et ronds de cette femme rebondissent vigoureusement. Je peux clairement entendre les bruits de claques dans la vidéo, mêlés à des gémissements et des grognements de luxure. « Oui, oui, baise-moi fort, chéri », hurle la femme avec extase. « Vilaine fille ! » Mark se lève et la retourne, lui claquant les fesses tout en parlant. « Mets ton cul en l’air ! » La femme glousse, se retourne, balance ses fesses et s’agenouille sur le lit. J’ai l’impression que quelqu’un m’a jeté un seau d’eau glacée sur la tête. Ce qui est déjà mauvais, c’est que mon mari a une liaison, mais ce qui est pire, c’est que l’autre femme est ma propre sœur, Bella. *** « Je veux divorcer d’avec toi, Mark », j’ai répété au cas où il ne m’aurait pas entendue la première fois, bien que je sache qu’il m’avait clairement entendue. Il me regardait avec une mine renfrognée avant de répondre froidement : « Ce n’est pas à toi d’en décider ! Je suis très occupé, ne perds pas mon temps avec des choses aussi ennuyeuses, n’essaie pas d’attirer mon attention ! » La dernière chose que j’allais faire était de discuter ou de me quereller avec lui. « Je demanderai à l’avocat de t’envoyer le contrat de divorce », c’est tout ce que j’ai dit, aussi calmement que possible. Il n’a même pas dit un autre mot après cela et il est simplement passé par la porte devant laquelle il se tenait, la claquant durement derrière lui. Mes yeux se sont attardés un peu distraitement sur la poignée de la porte avant que je n’enlève l’anneau de mariage de mon doigt et que je ne le pose sur la table.
