Chaque veille de Noël, l'héritier de la famille mafieuse Marco, Adrian Marco, devait suivre la tradition familiale : Tirer au sort pour décider s'il avait le droit de m'épouser. Car moi, Irene Cast, je ne suis pas née dans la mafia. S'il n'a pas tiré le papier portant mon nom, il ne pourrait pas me prendre pour femme. Pendant quatre ans, Adrian a tiré au sort quatre fois. Et pas une seule fois il n'a tiré mon nom. J'ai toujours cru qu'il se disputait avec sa famille à cause de moi, qu'il était prêt à risquer de perdre sa position de Parrain, juste pour me choisir. Chaque fois qu'il échouait, il me serrait si fort et murmurait : « Ce n'est rien. Il y aura toujours l'année prochaine. » Et je l'aimais tellement que cela faisait mal. Assez mal pour que je sois prête à attendre, année après année. Cette année, je me suis dit : S'il ne pouvait toujours pas tirer mon nom au sort... Je changerais secrètement le résultat. Je me suis faufilée à la porte du bureau d'Adrian, et j'ai entendu son frère demander : « Parrain, chaque année, tu tires le nom d'Irene. Pourquoi fais-tu semblant de ne pas l'avoir tiré ? Est-ce parce que tu n'arrives toujours pas à oublier Sera ? » Mais il a simplement répondu d'une voix neutre : « Sera a besoin de moi pour quelque chose d'urgent. Fais comme d'habitude : remplace le nom d'Irene par un papier vierge. » Il est sorti sans se retourner. Au lieu d'échanger, son frère a jeté le papier vierge à la poubelle, a laissé celui avec mon nom sur la table, et s'est dépêché de suivre Adrian. Je suis entrée, ai ramassé le papier vierge dans la poubelle, et ai remplacé celui portant mon nom. Regardant mon nom tomber dans les ordures. Adrian, je ne voulais plus attendre pour t'épouser. Je respectais ton choix.
