Mon père et mon frère avaient toujours aimé ma sœur aînée, et m'avaient toujours détestée. Lors d'un gala, alors que j'étais humiliée en public, c'est Gabriel Dumas, le chef de la mafia, qui était intervenu pour me défendre. Il avait même annoncé devant tout le monde que j'étais la femme qu'il aimait le plus. Gabriel m'avait acheté un château au cœur de la forêt, où il avait fait planter des tulipes, mes fleurs préférées. Il y avait organisé un mariage féerique, si grandiose qu'il avait fait la une dans tout le pays. Du jour au lendemain, j'étais devenue l'objet de l'envie de toutes les femmes. À sept mois de grossesse, j'avais assisté à la fête d'anniversaire de mon père. Ce soir-là, un incendie avait éclaté. Mon père et mon frère, aveuglés par leur favoritisme, avaient protégé ma sœur et l'avaient aidée à fuir. Moi, j'avais failli mourir dans les flammes. C'était encore Gabriel qui m'avait sauvée. Mais quand je m'étais réveillée à l'hôpital, ce que j'avais vu m'avait brisé le cœur. « Qui vous a autorisés à provoquer cet incendie ! » avait lancé Gabriel, le visage sombre. « Elle n'en est qu'à son septième mois de grossesse ! Vous vouliez provoquer un accouchement prématuré ? Vous essayiez de tuer Yvonne et son bébé, c'est ça ? » Mon frère et mon père avaient murmuré une justification : « La leucémie de Sylvie ne peut plus attendre. Le médecin a dit qu'il fallait opérer au plus vite… On a besoin de la moelle osseuse du bébé… » « Je suis plus inquiet que vous pour la vie de Sylvie. Sinon, je n'aurais jamais épousé Yvonne ! » « Mais vous n'avez pas le droit de lui faire du mal. J'ai mon propre plan », avait-il averti d'un ton glacial. Je m'étais enfuie, paniquée. Alors, il ne m'avait jamais épousée par amour. Tout ce qu'il avait fait pour moi, en réalité pour ma sœur. Comme mon père et mon frère, lui aussi ne l'aimait qu'elle, et pas moi. Puisque personne ne m'aimait… alors je partirais.
