Ma meilleure amie et moi avons épousé deux frères de la famille Lemoine. J'ai épousé l'aîné, Marc, un obstétricien de renom. Elle a épousé le cadet, Adrien, PDG d'un grand laboratoire pharmaceutique. Le jour de mon anniversaire, l'ex de mon mari m'a envoyé le cadavre en décomposition d'un chat errant. Le choc m'a provoqué un accouchement prématuré. Ma meilleure amie, Élise, m'a aussitôt emmenée à l'hôpital. Mais j'ai fait une embolie amniotique, en plus d'un accouchement prématuré. Les médecins étaient impuissants. J'ai rassemblé mes dernières forces pour appeler mon mari à l'aide. Je n'ai reçu en retour qu'un flot de reproches : « C'est juste parce que j'ai raté ton anniversaire que tu fais tout ce cirque ? Faut arrêter de mentir pour m'attirer ! Le chien de Taïs est en train de mettre bas, je dois rester concentré pour l'aider. Arrête de semer la pagaille ! » Finalement, c'était Élise, les mains tremblantes, qui a pris le risque de m'opérer elle-même. J'ai survécu de justesse. Mon bébé, quant à lui, a été transféré en urgence pour être réanimé. Les yeux rouges, Élise a appelé Adrien, son mari, pour lui demander en urgence un médicament de leur laboratoire. « Le chien de Taïs va très mal après la mise bas, j'essaie de lui préparer un bouillon d'os. Vous êtes vraiment inséparables, toi et Claire. Une me supplie, l'autre prend le relais. Vous passez votre temps à vous battre pour des hommes, vous pouvez pas faire quelque chose d'utile, non ? » Et puis… mon bébé est mort. Et avec lui, mon cœur aussi. « Élise, je veux divorcer. » « Tu divorces ? Moi aussi. Ces types ne méritent pas d'avoir des femmes ! » Nous avons demandé le divorce aux deux frères. Et là, soudain, ils ont paniqué.

On the night of my fifth wedding anniversary with Sebastian Gray, he lit up the entire city with fireworks for me. All our friends kept saying what a wonderful man he was—so loving, so romantic. The kind of husband every woman dreams of. At the grand finale, the fireworks burst into words that lit up the night sky: Happy Birthday, Jen. Jennifer Kingsley was Sebastian's first love, his ideal woman, the one who had always lingered in his heart. Sebastian looked at me, his expression almost sheepish. "Ah, it's Jen's birthday too. They must have mixed up the fireworks." That night, Jennifer posted on her social media: "Men are boys till the day they die, always fumbling their way through romance." She added a picture of the fireworks, along with a photo of her and Sebastian standing close under the dazzling display. I liked her post and left a comment: "From school to altar—what a touching love story. When's the wedding?"
