Frío

Quando a minha cunhada teve outra crise, eu soube que me divorciaria novamente. Fechei os olhos. "Este é o nono divórcio." Luís Ribeiro massageou as têmporas, dizendo com culpa: — Paula, a morte do meu irmão foi tão repentina... Ele deixou a esposa e o bebê que ela carrega. Eu não posso simplesmente abandoná-los. — Não se preocupe, assim que o bebê nascer, vamos nos casar novamente. Desta vez, para nunca mais nos separarmos! Eu fiquei em silêncio. Afinal, essa era a oitava vez que eu ouvia a mesma promessa. O primeiro divórcio foi quando a morte súbita do irmão mais velho fez minha cunhada entrar em colapso. Na época, ela estava grávida, e Luís propôs o divórcio para que pudesse acalmá-la, prometendo que nos casaríamos de novo depois. Em nove meses, nos casamos e nos divorciamos oito vezes por causa disso. Todos zombavam de mim, me chamando de a "recordista de divórcios". Até eu mesma achava tudo isso um absurdo. Peguei a certidão de divórcio recém-impressa, e um funcionário ao lado me perguntou em voz baixa: — Quando vocês vêm na próxima vez? Eu respondi com indiferença: — Não haverá uma próxima vez.

Sabrina se gabava de conseguir desarmar bombas de olhos fechados, por pura intuição. O resultado foi um erro de julgamento que ativou o programa de detonação secundária da bomba. Eu intervi em caráter de emergência, salvando todo o prédio com o perigoso método de condensação por nitrogênio líquido. Sabrina, por sua vez, foi afastada da linha de frente e suspensa para observação. Meu marido, Lindomar, quis defendê-la, mas eu o impedi com firmeza. — Se você a defender agora, não só não conseguirá salvá-la, como também será suspenso junto com ela! Sabrina não aguentou a pressão e forjou um acidente para se matar com uma explosão. Deixou apenas uma carta. Na carta, ela acusava Lindomar: [Quando eu mais precisei de você, você escolheu se proteger.] Lindomar não disse nada. Apenas guardou a carta como um tesouro em seu escritório. Anos depois, Lindomar já era um especialista em desarmamento de explosivos de renome nacional. Durante um ataque terrorista, fui capturada e equipada com uma bomba-relógio. Ele veio pessoalmente ao local para desarmá-la, mas, na minha frente, replicou a mesma técnica falha que Sabrina usara anos antes. Ele olhou para a contagem regressiva e sorriu para mim. — Veja, ela só estava nervosa. Se eu a tivesse ajudado naquele ano, agora ela seria uma heroína! Então a bomba explodiu, e não restou nada de mim. Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu havia retornado ao momento em que ele se preparava para defender Sabrina. Ele não sabia que, naquele prédio, estava guardado o servidor central com os maiores segredos de estado do país.

— Ai papai, para não, eu vou chegar lá… No auditório, a multidão era um caos total. Aproveitei o tumulto pra empurrar de propósito a garota que estava na minha frente. Ela usava uma saia de colegial bem sexy. Sem pensar duas vezes, levantei a saia dela pra me esfregar naquela bundona. O que me deixava louco era que a calcinha dela era fininha demais. Sentir aquela bunda tão gostosa e suculenta me fez perder a cabeça. E o mais incrível de tudo foi que ela parecia estar curtindo a pegação.

Dans ma vie précédente, personne ne m'a aimée à part mon compagnon Alpha, Grayson. Mes parents et mon frère me traitaient comme une simple réserve d'essence de loup ambulante pour ma sœur Victoria. Mais Grayson n'avait pas oublié que j'avais peur du noir et laissait discrètement une veilleuse après mes transfusions d'essence ; il a gardé au fond de son cœur ma remarque en passant sur mon envie « de trouver un coin tranquille pour peindre », et m'a offert sans broncher cinq milliards d'euros pour que j'achète ma forêt préférée. Quand je lui ai avoué mes sentiments, même s'il a été surpris, il a tout de même accepté ma déclaration et m'a promis qu'il me marquerait, c'était certain. Dieu sait à quel point j'étais heureuse sur le moment — celui que j'aimais m'aimait aussi. Ce n'est qu'en mourant que j'ai compris que sa gentillesse envers moi était conditionnée par mes dons réguliers d'essence de loup à Victoria. Après ma renaissance, la première chose que j'ai faite a été de claquer cinq milliards d'euros dans l'achat d'une forêt isolée. « Mlle Ember, vous êtes sûre de vouloir acquérir cette forêt ? Si vous l'achetez et vous y installez, il sera quasiment impossible de joindre le monde extérieur. » J'ai hoché la tête, un soulagement perceptible dans la voix. « C'est précisément ce que je cherche — un endroit où personne ne pourra me retrouver. » Mais alors, quand je suis vraiment partie, pourquoi ma famille et Grayson sont devenus complètement fous en me suppliant de revenir ?
