Mon frère Dylan, parce que sa maîtresse Rosalie avait exprimé le désir d'assister à une pluie de météores, avait emmené tous ses gardes personnels à la campagne pour lui organiser ce spectacle romantique. Cette nuit-là, des anciens rivaux qu'il avait écrasés en ont profité pour s'introduire chez nous, bien décidés à exterminer toute la famille en guise de vengeance.

Ses derniers mots ont glacé mon sang : « Une personne aussi malfaisante que toi méritait de mourir ! » « C'est toi qui devrais être mort ! L'héritage me revient de droit ! » Je suis morte les yeux grands ouverts, pleine d'amertume. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux... j'ai entendu à nouveau les intrus défoncer la porte d'entrée...

Loin de m'irriter, je l'encourageais à être plus attentionné. Quand notre fils a demandé si ma sœur pouvait devenir sa maman, j'ai même acquiescé en souriant.
