I gave up a vast fortune to be with my boyfriend Terrence. In our poorest days, we didn't even have a single grain of rice at home. Terrence went out to fight in underground rings, never surrendering once even when he was beaten black and blue. With his blood and sweat, he paved the path to our future brick by brick. In the present, his name was uttered with an undeniable tone of respect, while I was known far and wide as his missus, the woman he treasured above anyone or anything. One year, when I left the country because of a family emergency, I learned that he even started seeing a therapist due to separation anxiety. Everyone said that Terrence loved me more than life itself, and I had believed it too, wholeheartedly. Until I stood on our balcony, watching him tightly embracing another woman in the villa next door. "Even though Tanya is back, the very thought of losing you makes me lose control… I can't live without you, Mia… "If any other men ever appear by your side, I might just end up killing them…" His voice was a low rumble, tinged with a sort of unconscious madness. "B-But what about your wife? Didn't you say that she means more to you than your own life?" "Well, we just have to keep this hidden better, don't we? I want to always be with you…" My hand trembled, and I accidentally cut my hand with the fruit knife I was holding, but I felt no pain at all. To think that just one year apart was enough to shatter thirty years of love and mutual support… With trembling hands, I picked up my phone and called my mother. "Mom, I'm feeling homesick… Can you get me a new identity and a one-way ticket out of the country?"

On Christmas Eve, my father got the man I had secretly loved for ten years drunk and sent him to my bed. When I woke up the next morning, Roy pulled away from my attempt at a good-morning kiss. His voice was cold and distant as he agreed to marry me. After the wedding, Roy wasted no time submitting a transfer request. He took an overseas post and left. He did not return for five years. I gave birth to our daughter, Eve, alone and waited for him to come back home. When I heard that Roy had finally applied to return to a domestic position, I was overjoyed. I spent days preparing, imagining our first reunion as husband and wife. But even when the clock struck midnight, he still hadn't come home. Our daughter, ever so thoughtful, placed her most treasured possession—a photograph of Roy—into my hands. "Don't cry, Mommy," she said softly. "Look, Daddy's right here." I tried to convince myself that his absence was due to a delayed flight. But later that night, while watching the news, I saw him. He was on a crowded city street, holding a young girl in his arms. Beside him stood a woman, her smile soft and warm. Facing the camera, Roy said, "Being with them is my greatest wish." At that moment, something inside me broke. I wrote up the divorce papers, packed our things, and planned to take Eve to change her identity. I didn't want him anymore. The day before we left, a man I had never met came to see me. He was Roy's father. "You could call me Dad," he said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "But I'd rather you call me Ryan." I told him everything about the past five years—how I had waited, how I had hoped. When I finished, he laughed softly, an unusual warmth in his voice. "If it was just business," he said, "perhaps your father should have tied a bow around me and sent me to your bed instead. But I hold my liquor well—if I ever end up wrapped in a bow, you can be sure it's by choice."

Ma famille a été attaquée par des loups sauvages lorsque nous avons pénétré sur leur territoire. Ma louve a été gravement blessée, et finalement, c'était moi qui ai sauvé tout le monde. Alors que je m'effondrais, épuisée, personne n'est venu vers moi, ils ont tous couru vers ma sœur adoptive, Félicie, en se souciant de quelques égratignures superficielles. Lorsque les membres de la meute m'ont transportée à l'infirmerie, le guérisseur m'a annoncé la terrible nouvelle : ma louve avait été frappée par un poignard d'argent et que le petit d'un mois que je portais dans mon ventre ne survivrait pas. Pourtant, mon compagnon, Luc, a donné à Félicie le seul traitement qui pouvait sauver la vie. N'ayant pas d'autre choix, j'ai refusé les remèdes du guérisseur et j'ai soulagé la douleur de ma louve avec des herbes rudimentaires, sachant que cela ne nous donnerait que trois jours avant la mort. Au cours de ces derniers jours, j'ai tout laissé aller. J'ai donné à Félicie toutes mes possessions et l'argent de l'assurance, tandis que mes parents souriaient en signe d'approbation. J'ai signé sans hésiter l'accord de rupture de lien que Luc m'a glissé sur la table. Luc était satisfait, convaincu que j'étais attentionnée. Kévin, mon frère, a hoché la tête lorsque je lui ai dit de donner ma chambre à Félicie. Même mon fils Jérémie, quand je lui ai demandé d'appeler Félicie « maman », s'est écrié joyeusement. Personne ne m'a demandé pourquoi j'avais donné toutes mes affaires à Félicie, et leurs regards approbateurs en disaient long : « Bien. L'ancienne Emmanuelle est de retour. » Mais à mesure que le temps passait, une pensée me hantait : « Quand ils trouveront nos corps, celui de ma louve et celui de mon petit à naître, cette satisfaction se transformera-t-elle en regret ? »
