Aku mencoba bertahan, tapi kebenaran yang kutemukan menghancurkan segalanya. Ternyata… aku bukan satu-satunya wanita dalam hidupnya. Kini aku dihadapkan pada pilihan: mempertahankan gelar istri sah demi nama baik keluarga, atau melepaskannya pada cinta terlarang yang telah lama ia simpan di balik senyumnya.

Prologue La nuit tombait sur la vieille demeure des Smith, drapant ses murs austères d’une ombre épaisse. Le vent murmurait entre les branches des arbres centenaires, comme s’il portait les échos d’un passé que tous avaient préféré oublier. Il y a bien des années, alors que la fortune des Smith était encore fragile, un pacte avait été scellé dans le plus grand secret. Deux patriarches, liés par une dette de sang et d’honneur, avaient échangé une promesse : un jour, leurs lignées s’uniraient par le mariage. Mais avec le temps, la prospérité des Smith avait grandi, tandis que celle des Anthony s’était effritée. Et lorsque Levy Anthony, le dernier héritier d’un nom autrefois puissant, avait hérité de ruines, les Smith avaient feint d’ignorer l’existence de cet accord. Pourtant, les mots tracés sur ce vieux parchemin n’avaient jamais perdu leur pouvoir. Dans l’ombre, une jeune femme aux yeux froids observait. Sandra, la méprisée, l’invisible. Celle qu’on avait reléguée aux marges de la famille, comme si son sang était moins noble. Elle savait ce qu’ils ignoraient : un pacte ne meurt jamais. Il sommeille, attendant son heure. Et cette heure venait de sonner. Lorsque les Anthony franchirent le seuil de la maison Smith, ce ne fut pas en suppliants, mais en créanciers. Leur présence réveilla une vérité que les Smith avaient enfouie : on ne rompt pas impunément une promesse faite aux morts. Et alors que les voix s’élevaient, que les accusations fusaient, Sandra se tenait immobile, un sourire glacé aux lèvres. Car elle, l’oubliée, allait devenir leur seul salut.

Quando meu marido, o presidente, soube que eu havia, voluntariamente, cedido um projeto de dezenas de milhões à assistente que ele mais estimava, achou que os três meses de silêncio entre nós finalmente haviam surtido efeito. Então ele tomou a iniciativa de sugerir uma viagem de lua de mel à Islândia. No entanto, ao saber disso, a assistente ficou extremamente enciumada e ameaçou pedir demissão da empresa. Meu marido, que sempre a mimava, entrou em pânico e passou três dias e três noites tentando consolá-la. Depois disso, alegando uma viagem de negócios, voltou a romper a promessa da lua de mel e ainda deu a ela a segunda passagem da viagem. Mais tarde, ele me explicou tudo com total indiferença: — Coisas do coração são pequenas. O trabalho vem sempre em primeiro lugar. Como presidente, tenho que priorizar os negócios. Você é minha esposa. Deveria me apoiar nisso, não é? Olhei para a publicação recém-postada pela assistente no Instagram, uma foto dos dois como um casal, cabeça com cabeça, fazendo coração com as mãos. Não disse uma palavra, apenas assenti levemente. Meu marido achou que eu tinha me tornado mais generosa e compreensiva. Ficou satisfeito e prometeu que, ao retornar, ia me levar para uma lua de mel ainda mais romântica. Mas ele não sabia. Eu já havia pedido demissão, e ele já tinha assinado os papéis do divórcio. Entre ele e eu, não haveria mais um "depois".
