夫は私と彼の「同僚」との間で、二股をかけることを正当化する理由を見つけ出していた。 結婚前、私は秘密保持契約書に署名させられ、人気俳優の影の妻として生きることを強いられた。もし私から離婚を切り出せば、たったの100円ほどの慰謝料しか受け取れない契約だった。 結婚して3年。私はただ黙って見ているしかなかった――夫があの「同僚」と堂々とスキャンダルを演出し、一緒に旅行へ行き、デートを重ね、抱き合ってホテルへ消えていくのを。 夫が口癖のように褒める「良き妻」として、私は病院で寝たきりの義両親の看病をしながら、彼の身の回りの世話もこなさなければならなかった。 いつになったら彼の「お仕事」は終わるのか――その答えは、深夜に鳴った一本の電話で明らかになった。彼の「同僚」からの電話だった。「ファンが私たちの結婚を望んでるのよ。いつ私を娶ってくれるの？」と責めるような声で。 夫は優しく甘い声で宥めた。「ねぇ、大丈夫だよ。すぐに『世紀の結婚式』を挙げよう。それでいい？」

Mes parents, parmi les plus riches du pays, jouissent d’une réputation nationale en tant que philanthropes renommés. Pourtant, toute dépense de plus de cinq euros devait faire l’objet d’une demande formelle auprès d’eux. Quand le médecin m’a appris que mon cancer était en phase terminale, j’ai rassemblé tout mon courage pour leur demander 100 euros. Résultat : trois heures d’humiliation. « À ton âge, tu veux vraiment me faire croire à un cancer ? Trouve une excuse plus crédible pour demander de l’argent. » « Tu sais qu’avec 100 euros, des enfants dans les régions pauvres pourraient survivre longtemps ? Même ta sœur adoptive est plus raisonnable que toi. » À bout de force, traînant mon corps malade, j’ai marché plusieurs kilomètres pour retourner dans mon sous-sol étroit et sale. Et sur le chemin, sur un écran géant d’un centre commercial, je les ai vus : mes parents, souriants, dépensant une fortune pour offrir Disneyland à ma sœur adoptive. Les larmes que je retenais depuis longtemps se sont mises à couler. 100 euros ne suffisaient même pas pour une séance de chimiothérapie. Je voulais seulement acheter une tenue neuve pour partir dignement.
