The Giver Ch 8

Era, une jeune étudiante discrète, partage ses journées entre les cours à l’université et son travail dans le petit café familial, un lieu chaleureux qu’elle chérit plus que tout. Ce café, c’est l’héritage vivant de sa mère disparue, le seul endroit où elle se sent encore connectée à elle. Mais tout bascule le jour où son père lui annonce, à sa grande stupeur, qu’il souhaite vendre l’établissement. Face à cette décision brutale, Era voit s’effondrer le fragile équilibre qu’elle s’était construit. Elle tente de le convaincre, en vain… jusqu’à ce qu’une étrange proposition surgisse : épouser Angel de La Touré, un homme mystérieux issu d’une famille influente, en échange de la sauvegarde du café. Angel est aussi énigmatique que déroutant. Froid, charismatique, imprévisible… Leur union arrangée n’a rien d’un conte de fées. Mais à travers les conflits, les silences, et les non-dits, Era découvre en Angel bien plus qu’un pacte financier. Et si derrière cette alliance forcée se cachait une vérité bouleversante ? Et si ce mariage était le point de départ d’une rédemption mutuelle ?

No momento do terremoto, meu marido, capitão da equipe de resgate, me deixou para trás e correu para salvar a mulher que amava, Luna Soares. Eu não o impedi. Apenas deixei que ele fosse. Tudo porque, na minha vida passada, diante da mesma escolha, ele me resgatou primeiro, eu, grávida de oito meses. E Luna, por causa do atraso no socorro, foi soterrada nos escombros durante uma réplica e morreu asfixiada. Mais tarde, no dia em que fui dar à luz, ele me levou até o túmulo dela. Assistiu friamente enquanto eu desabava no chão de tanta dor, implorando ajuda. — Talita, está doendo? A dor que a Luna sentiu debaixo dos escombros foi mil vezes pior! Olhei, incrédula, para o homem enlouquecido à minha frente. — No dia do terremoto você estava numa zona segura! Se não tivesse usado a gravidez como chantagem, Luna teria tido a chance de ser salva! — Todo o sofrimento da Luna… eu quero que você sinta com seu próprio corpo! Ele me forçou a ajoelhar e bater a cabeça diante da foto da Luna, enquanto o sangue escorria por entre minhas pernas. Acabei morrendo de hemorragia durante o parto. Quando abri os olhos novamente, era o mesmo dia do terremoto. Desta vez, nem eu nem meu filho vamos esperar por ele.

L'homme que j'aimais en secret, ainsi que son père, ont été victimes d'un aphrodisiaque. J'ai immédiatement retiré mes vêtements pour neutraliser le poison de son père. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais été forcée de devenir l'antidote de l'homme que j'aimais et de lui donner deux enfants. Mais il ne rentrait presque jamais à la maison, gardant sa chasteté pour son premier amour – l'amour pur de sa jeunesse. La cinquième année de notre mariage, il nous avait tués, mes fils et moi, et nous avait enterrés en morceaux dans le verger de grenadiers de sa bien-aimée, comme engrais. Il avait été convaincu que j'étais une femme sournoise qui avait volontairement utilisé un aphrodisiaque pour passer une nuit avec lui, ce qui l'avait empêché d'être avec celle qu'il aimait. Il n'avait pu que la regarder s'éloigner… et se donner la mort. Quand je me suis réveillée, j'ai découvert que j'étais revenue à l'instant où ils avaient été empoisonnés. Dans cette vie-ci, j'ai choisi… de devenir sa belle-mère.
