Jedes Jahr an Heiligabend musste der Erbe der Marco-Mafiafamilie – Adrian Marco – einer Familientradition folgen: Er zog einen Namen, der darüber entschied, ob er mich heiraten durfte. Denn ich, Irene Cast, stammte nicht aus einer Mafiafamilie. Nur wenn er meinen Namen zog, durfte er mich zur Frau nehmen. Vier Jahre lang hatte Adrian viermal einen Zettel gezogen. Und kein einziges Mal hatte er meinen Namen gezogen. Ich hatte immer geglaubt, er hätte sich meinetwegen mit seiner Familie überworfen, dass er sogar bereit gewesen war, seine Position als Don zu riskieren, nur um mich zu wählen. Jedes Mal, wenn es nicht klappte, hielt er mich fest und flüsterte: „Ist schon gut. Wir haben noch nächstes Jahr.“ Und ich liebte ihn so sehr, dass es wehtat. So sehr, dass ich bereit war zu warten, Jahr für Jahr. Dieses Jahr sagte ich mir: Wenn er meinen Namen immer noch nicht zieht… werde ich das Ergebnis heimlich vertauschen. Ich schlich zur Tür von Adrians Arbeitszimmer und hörte, wie sein jüngerer Bruder fragte: „Don … jedes Jahr ziehst du tatsächlich Irenes Namen. Warum tust du so, als hättest du es nicht? Liegt es daran, dass du Sera immer noch nicht loslassen kannst?“ Doch er sagte nur mit ausdrucksloser Stimme: „Sera braucht mich dringend. Mach es wie immer: Tausch Irenes Namen gegen einen leeren Zettel aus.“ Er ging hinaus, ohne sich umzudrehen. Anstatt zu tauschen, warf sein Bruder den leeren Zettel in den Papierkorb, ließ den mit meinem Namen auf dem Tisch liegen und eilte Adrian hinterher. Ich ging hinein, holte den leeren Zettel aus dem Papierkorb und tauschte ihn gegen den mit meinem Namen. Ich sah zu, wie mein eigener Name in den Müll fiel. Adrian … ich will nicht länger warten. Ich werde dich nicht heiraten. Ich erfülle dir deine Wahl.

Toda véspera de Natal, o herdeiro da família mafiosa Marco, Adrian Marco, deve seguir a tradição da família: sortear um nome para decidir se pode se casar comigo ou não. Porque eu, Irene Cast, não nasci na máfia. A menos que ele tire o papel com o meu nome, ele não pode me tomar como esposa. Por quatro anos, Adrian sorteou quatro vezes. E nenhuma vez saiu o meu nome. Sempre acreditei que ele brigava com a família por minha causa, que estava disposto a arriscar perder o posto de Don só para me escolher. Toda vez que falhava, ele me abraçava com força e sussurrava: – Tudo bem. Sempre tem o ano que vem. E eu o amava tanto que doía. Doía a ponto de eu aceitar esperar, ano após ano. Este ano, eu disse a mim mesma: Se ele ainda não tirar meu nome… vou trocar o resultado em segredo. Cheguei de mansinho à porta do escritório de Adrian e ouvi seu irmão mais novo perguntar: – Don… todo ano você tira o nome da Irene. Por que finge que não saiu? É porque você ainda não conseguiu deixar a Sera ir? E ele apenas respondeu, com a voz fria: – A Sera precisa de mim para algo urgente. Faça como sempre: troque o nome da Irene por um papel em branco. Ele saiu sem olhar para trás. Em vez de trocar, o irmão jogou o papel em branco no lixo, deixou o papel com meu nome sobre a mesa e saiu apressado atrás de Adrian. Entrei no escritório, peguei o papel em branco do lixo e substituí pelo que tinha meu nome. Observei meu próprio nome cair na lixeira. Adrian… eu não quero mais esperar e casar com você. Vou te conceder a sua escolha.
