Same Bed Different Dreams

No dia em que Lorena Rochas e Isaac Cunha completavam cinco anos de casados, o primeiro amor de Isaac voltou para o Brasil. Naquela mesma noite, Lorena descobriu que Isaac, trancado no banheiro, murmurava o nome do primeiro amor enquanto se masturbava com a própria mão. Foi assim que Lorena entendeu qual tinha sido, durante cinco anos, o verdadeiro motivo de Isaac nunca ter tocado nela. Isaac disse: — Lorena, a Aurora voltou sozinha, ela está sem ninguém aqui, eu só estou ajudando como amigo. Ela respondeu: — Eu entendi. Isaac explicou: — Lorena, eu prometi para a Aurora que eu ia com ela para a ilha comemorar o aniversário dela. Eu só estou cumprindo uma promessa antiga. Ela disse: — Tá bom. Isaac continuou: — Lorena, para esse jantar eu preciso de uma assistente à altura. A Aurora é mais adequada do que você. Ela apenas murmurou: — Uhum, vão vocês dois. Quando Lorena parou de se irritar, parou de chorar e parou de discutir, foi Isaac quem começou a estranhar e perguntou: — Lorena, por que você não fica com raiva? Lorena, claro, já não ficava mais com raiva, porque ela também estava de partida. Lorena, que já estava cansada havia muito tempo daquele casamento morto, começou, em silêncio, a estudar inglês, a prestar todo tipo de prova e a enviar candidaturas para programas de estudos no exterior. No dia em que o visto dela finalmente saiu, Lorena colocou o acordo de divórcio na frente dele. Isaac riu, sem acreditar: — Para de graça. Sem mim, como é que você vai sobreviver? Lorena virou as costas, comprou a passagem e voou para a Europa. A partir daquele dia, ela desapareceu sem deixar rastro. A próxima vez que Isaac viu notícias sobre ela, foi em um vídeo que tinha explodido nas redes: Lorena, vestida com um traje tradicional brasileiro, dançava uma coreografia típica do Brasil no céu de um país estrangeiro. O vídeo viralizou no mundo inteiro. Isaac cerrou os dentes e prometeu em silêncio. "Não importa onde você esteja, Lorena. Eu vou dar um jeito de trazer você de volta."

Before I married Gavin Whitaker, his mother put me through a so-called premarital obedience test. She made me kneel and serve tea to the entire family, so I knelt. She made me walk barefoot across a reflexology path to prove my "resilience". I went through it. She made me sign a prenuptial agreement stating that if we ever divorced, I would leave with nothing. I signed. Throughout it all, Gavin watched coldly from the sidelines. All he said was, "Sienna, don’t make a big deal out of this. Just bear with it. These are our family’s rules." I smiled and nodded, even as tears slid down my face. The final test came without warning. His mother slapped me hard across the face. "If you marry into this family, you need to understand what humility means." I didn’t move. However, upstairs in the study, where Gavin was in the middle of a video conference, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed. He clutched his face and stared at me in terror. [System Notification: You and Gavin Whitaker have successfully bound to the Empathy Sync System. From this moment on, all harm inflicted upon the host will be experienced in full by the other party.]
