Hatchet Ch 15

Si Amari ay isang simpleng babae na ipinanganak na independent. Simple lang ang buhay niya, kahit hindi siya kasing yaman o ganda ng ibang babae, kontento na siya sa kung anong meron siya at hindi na naghangad na umangat pa. Ang mahalaga sa kanya ay ang kanyang nakababatang kapatid na may Down syndrome, at ang matustosan ang pangangailangan nito. Sa edad kasi na 15, mulat na siya sa reyalidad. Mula nang iwan sila ng kanilang ina matapos mamatay ang kanilang ama para sa ibang lalaki, ay siya na ang tumayong ina at ama ng kanyang kapatid. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang sa araw na balak niyang ibigay ang kanyang sarili sa kanyang nobyo (si Harper), aksidente siyang pumasok sa maling kwarto. At sa kamalas-malasan, sa dami ng mga lalaking maaari niyang mapagbigyan ng kanyang pagkababae, ang kambal pa ng kanyang nobyo, si Hudson, na kinaiinisan niya ito naibigay. Si Hudson na isang arrogante, mayabang, at masama ang ugali, na walang ibang ginawa kundi laitin, kutyain, at sirain ang kanyang araw.

Era, une jeune étudiante discrète, partage ses journées entre les cours à l’université et son travail dans le petit café familial, un lieu chaleureux qu’elle chérit plus que tout. Ce café, c’est l’héritage vivant de sa mère disparue, le seul endroit où elle se sent encore connectée à elle. Mais tout bascule le jour où son père lui annonce, à sa grande stupeur, qu’il souhaite vendre l’établissement. Face à cette décision brutale, Era voit s’effondrer le fragile équilibre qu’elle s’était construit. Elle tente de le convaincre, en vain… jusqu’à ce qu’une étrange proposition surgisse : épouser Angel de La Touré, un homme mystérieux issu d’une famille influente, en échange de la sauvegarde du café. Angel est aussi énigmatique que déroutant. Froid, charismatique, imprévisible… Leur union arrangée n’a rien d’un conte de fées. Mais à travers les conflits, les silences, et les non-dits, Era découvre en Angel bien plus qu’un pacte financier. Et si derrière cette alliance forcée se cachait une vérité bouleversante ? Et si ce mariage était le point de départ d’une rédemption mutuelle ?

No momento do terremoto, meu marido, capitão da equipe de resgate, me deixou para trás e correu para salvar a mulher que amava, Luna Soares. Eu não o impedi. Apenas deixei que ele fosse. Tudo porque, na minha vida passada, diante da mesma escolha, ele me resgatou primeiro, eu, grávida de oito meses. E Luna, por causa do atraso no socorro, foi soterrada nos escombros durante uma réplica e morreu asfixiada. Mais tarde, no dia em que fui dar à luz, ele me levou até o túmulo dela. Assistiu friamente enquanto eu desabava no chão de tanta dor, implorando ajuda. — Talita, está doendo? A dor que a Luna sentiu debaixo dos escombros foi mil vezes pior! Olhei, incrédula, para o homem enlouquecido à minha frente. — No dia do terremoto você estava numa zona segura! Se não tivesse usado a gravidez como chantagem, Luna teria tido a chance de ser salva! — Todo o sofrimento da Luna… eu quero que você sinta com seu próprio corpo! Ele me forçou a ajoelhar e bater a cabeça diante da foto da Luna, enquanto o sangue escorria por entre minhas pernas. Acabei morrendo de hemorragia durante o parto. Quando abri os olhos novamente, era o mesmo dia do terremoto. Desta vez, nem eu nem meu filho vamos esperar por ele.

Right before my wedding, my fiancé, Benjamin Gray, holds another wedding at an old settlement with his true love, who has lung cancer. He holds Jennifer Robinson close and smiles tenderly at her underneath the starry sky. "According to the local customs here, the woman whose wedding is held first is considered a man's actual wife. I might have already registered my marriage with Samantha, but she's more like my mistress." Everyone cheers and blesses them as they toast each other and enter their room for the night. I witness all of this, but I don't cry or kick up a fuss. Instead, I make an appointment for an abortion. I've loved Benjamin for 15 years, but I still can't compare to Jennifer, who is my stepsister. If that's the case, I'll let him go. Later, I join a geological exploration and research team in the South Isles and am cut off from the world. All I leave behind is a divorce agreement and a divorce gift. Benjamin has never cared for me, so it's odd that he loses his mind overnight after my departure.

Je suis revenue à la vie. Cette fois, je n'ai plus empêché mon compagnon de ramener son amie d'enfance enceinte à la maison pour s'occuper d'elle. J'ai même proposé de rompre notre lien d'union, afin de lui laisser librement choisir Élise Richard, celle qu'il a toujours préférée. Je créais volontairement chaque occasion pour qu'ils soient seuls ensemble, tandis que je me retirais en silence. Tout cela parce que, dans ma vie précédente, au moment de mourir, Marc Sien m'en voulait encore d'avoir refusé que son amie d'enfance vienne habiter chez nous pour sa grossesse. Sur le chemin du départ, elle avait perdu son enfant et n'a plus jamais pu avoir d'enfant. Il m'avait dit que, quand je serais morte, il se mettrait avec Élise, qu'il prendrait soin d'elle et réparerait le tort qu'il lui avait causé. Alors, dans cette nouvelle vie, je ne m'y suis plus opposée. J'ai choisi de partir, pour les aider à combler leurs regrets… Mais pourquoi, après mon départ, Marc s'est-il mis à me chercher partout comme un fou, en suppliant mon retour ?
