Guiding Hazard Ch 30

« Tout va bien, chérie. » C’est ce que Steven lui répète depuis des mois. Mais ce soir, lors de leur fête d’anniversaire de mariage, Shirley ne peut s’empêcher de sentir que quelque chose cloche. Son mari, autrefois si présent, paraît désormais distant. Ses regards fuyants, ses sourires forcés… et ce message qu’il a tenté de dissimuler à tout prix. « On ne peut pas continuer comme ça. Tu dois lui dire la vérité. » Le texte s’affiche sur l’écran de son téléphone, et Shirley sent son monde vaciller. Sept ans de mariage, une vie en apparence parfaite : une maison impeccable, une fille adorable, un mari aimant… du moins le croyait-elle. Mais derrière les portes closes de leur foyer, les mensonges s’accumulent. Shirley, ancienne prodige de NYU qui a tout sacrifié pour sa famille, s’apprête à affronter une vérité capable de tout faire voler en éclats. Trahisons, secrets enfouis, choix impossibles… Shirley est projetée dans un labyrinthe de tromperies où chaque révélation la rapproche d’une décision déchirante : rester et pardonner… ou tout risquer pour se retrouver elle-même. « Parfois, la vérité ne libère pas. Elle brise. »

Setelah ketujuh kalinya dijanjikan akan menikah tapi kembali diingkari oleh Rafli, aku akhirnya memutus semua hubungan dengannya secara sepihak. Kalau dia hadir di acara perkumpulan teman, aku tidak akan datang. Kalau dia diundang tampil dalam acara reuni sekolah, aku akan pergi lebih awal. Kalau kantorku memilih kerja sama dengan perusahaannya, aku langsung mengundurkan diri. Bahkan saat malam tahun baru, dia datang ke rumah orang tuaku untuk bersilaturahmi, aku pun berdalih keluar mengunjungi teman. Nomornya aku blokir dan akun instagramnya kuhapus dari daftar pertemanan. Intinya, aku ingin memutus hubungan tuntas dengannya. Aku tidak menghubunginya dan dia pun tidak akan bisa melihatku. Selama 30 tahun pertama hidupku, sebagian besar waktu kuhabiskan untuk mencintainya dengan sepenuh hati, merawat dan memperhatikannya tanpa pamrih. Sampai akhirnya, setelah yang ketujuh kalinya dia ingkar janji untuk menikahiku, aku benar-benar sadar. Aku tidak mau hidup seperti ini lagi. Meski harus menjalani hidup sendirian, tetap saja lebih tenang daripada terus-menerus menunggu di rumah kosong yang tak pernah dia datangi!

I won $30 million in the lottery. I quietly told my mom, Helena Nightfall, and urged her to divorce my abusive, gambling-addicted dad, Victor Nightfall. From then on, I would take care of her and give her a life of luxury. She agreed without hesitation, then turned around and told him everything. Dad came to my door and demanded the money. When I refused, he beat me mercilessly. In the end, it was my lovesick mother who searched my room, found my debit card, and took every cent I had. Dad squandered my money on a life of excess. Not only did he kick Mom to the curb and find himself a new woman, but he even handed out my winnings generously to relatives back in our hometown. They lived it up on my money while I—the one who had won the lottery—didn’t receive a single cent. Unwilling to accept it, I went to confront Dad and demand my money back. By sheer coincidence, I ran into debt collectors who were after Dad. Dad shoved me out the door and left me to be stabbed to death by his creditors. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment I first discovered I had won the lottery.

Deux mois après ma mort, mes parents, dans leur indifférence habituelle, se sont enfin souvenus que j’avais disparu quelque part au retour d’un voyage. Mon père, avec son éternelle impatience, a froncé les sourcils : « Je ne lui ai pas seulement demandé de revenir à pied, qu’est-ce qu’elle a à faire une scène comme ça ? » Mon frère, toujours aussi détaché et cynique, m’a envoyé un message sur son téléphone, un émoji suffisant accompagné d’un texte froid et sans âme : « Tu ferais bien de rester morte là-bas, sinon la fortune de ma grand-mère sera la mienne, et celle de Léa. » Je n’ai pas répondu. Qu’aurais-je pu dire de toute façon ? Ma mère, elle, a grimacé et a lâché d’un ton dur : « Dis-lui que si elle arrive à temps pour la fête d’anniversaire de sa grand-mère, je ne reviendrai pas sur le fait qu’elle a délibérément poussé Léa dans l’eau ! » Ils n’ont jamais cru que je n’étais pas sortie de ce sous-bois. Alors, après un temps, ils ont commencé à y creuser. Et c’est ainsi qu’ils ont fini par retrouver mes os, éparpillés au fond des bois...
