John 21:25

John Garnett's secretary fed me to the dogs on my own birthday. I called his number endlessly to call for help, only for him to block my number immediately, as he fooled around with his secretary at the presidential suite in broad daylight. All I felt was agony as I was ripped into countless little pieces, still holding on to the black rose seeds he had given me when we were younger. That was not thrilling enough for the secretary, however, she buried me in the backyard of John' villa, intent on making my perished soul watch their bedroom activities. It was not until rain poured a month later, and a cluster of black roses suddenly grew in the backyard. "Where's Claire? I was just scaring her with the dogs—did she run away just to spite me?"

Résumé : Depuis quatre ans, John et Joseanne forment un jeune couple en apparence solide, avec un petit garçon de deux ans et une belle-famille qui les adore. Mais derrière cette façade parfaite, leur mariage se délite. Joseanne, aimée et admirée par la famille de John, se montre distante, autoritaire et froide avec son mari. Depuis plus de deux ans, ils vivent sans tendresse, sans intimité, sans chaleur. Épuisé moralement, humilié en silence, John s’enferme dans un désespoir qu’il cache à tous — même à ses parents, Jonathan et Christiane. Jusqu’au jour où, au bord du malaise, il s’effondre devant la porte d’une petite pharmacie de quartier. La femme qui le secourt s’appelle Falonne — une jeune mère célibataire au passé douloureux, simple et courageuse, que le destin avait déjà fait croiser, sans qu’ils le sachent, le chemin de Jonathan. Entre John, l’homme brisé par l’indifférence, et Falonne, la femme meurtrie par la trahison, naît une connexion inattendue, fragile et interdite. Une nuit, un geste, un regard suffiront à bouleverser leurs vies — et à réveiller un amour que ni l’un ni l’autre n’attendait plus. Mais chaque passion a un prix. Et quand les secrets se mêlent entre père et fils, entre mari et maîtresse, entre vérité et destin, l’amour devient un labyrinthe dont on ne sort jamais indemne.
