Elena a r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, de parc\u0103 timpul se cr\u0103pase \u00een dou\u0103 \u0219i ea r\u0103m\u0103sese suspendat\u0103 \u00eentre ce fusese \u0219i ce urma s\u0103 devin\u0103.
Rochia \u00eei at\u00e2rna greu pe ea, ca o povar\u0103 pe care nu o mai merita.<\/p>\n
Adrian a \u00eenchis u\u0219a \u00een urma lui \u0219i a f\u0103cut un pas \u00een fa\u021b\u0103, tr\u0103g\u00e2nd-o pe Lorena dup\u0103 el.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sper c\u0103 ai avut destul timp s\u0103 te preg\u0103te\u0219ti, a spus el rece, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 o priveasc\u0103.
\u2014 S\u0103 m\u0103 preg\u0103tesc pentru ce? a \u00eentrebat Elena, cu vocea tremur\u00e2nd\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lorena a r\u00e2s scurt, un r\u00e2s plin de venin.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru adev\u0103r, drag\u0103\u2026 c\u0103 locul t\u0103u e acolo, \u00een genunchi. A\u0219a cum \u021bi se cuvine.<\/p>\n
Elena a sim\u021bit cum o ustur\u0103 ochii, dar lacrimile nu se gr\u0103beau s\u0103 cad\u0103.
Era prea \u0219ocat\u0103 ca s\u0103 mai pl\u00e2ng\u0103.
A privit spre b\u0103rbatul care \u00eei spusese \u201eDa\u201d cu c\u00e2teva ore \u00een urm\u0103 \u0219i a \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 fusese doar o minciun\u0103 bine jucat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 De ce? a reu\u0219it ea s\u0103 \u00eentrebe, abia \u0219optit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 ai crezut c\u0103 e\u0219ti cineva, Elena. Pentru c\u0103 ai crezut c\u0103 e\u0219ti\u2026 aleas\u0103.
Vocea lui Adrian era calm\u0103, aproape plictisit\u0103.
\u2014 Dar nu e\u0219ti. Ai fost doar o unealt\u0103. O datorie de familie\u2026 o h\u00e2rtie de afaceri. At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Cuvintele lui au lovit-o ca un pumn \u00een stomac.
Sim\u021bea c\u0103 se rupe \u00een interior, ca o bucat\u0103 de sticl\u0103 sub c\u0103lc\u00e2i.<\/p>\n
Lorena s-a apropiat demonstrativ, trec\u00e2ndu-\u0219i degetele pe pieptul lui Adrian.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Hai, iubire, las-o. \u0218tii c\u0103 oricum n-are unde s\u0103 fug\u0103.<\/p>\n
Elena a sim\u021bit atunci primul fior de furie.
O furie mic\u0103, mic\u0103, dar vie.
Ca un chibrit aprins \u00een \u00eentuneric.<\/p>\n
Adrian \u0219i Lorena s-au dus spre pat.
Elena a r\u0103mas \u00een picioare, dar Adrian i-a aruncat o privire care a \u00eenghe\u021bat aerul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cen genunchi, a ordonat el.
\u2014 Vreau s\u0103 vezi ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 fii\u2026 \u00eenlocuibil\u0103.<\/p>\n
Pentru o clip\u0103, Elena a vrut s\u0103 fug\u0103.
Dar ceva \u00een ea s-a schimbat \u00een acea secund\u0103.
Ceva ad\u00e2nc, fierbinte, nemilos.<\/p>\n
A \u00eengenuncheat.
Nu pentru c\u0103 voia.
Ci pentru c\u0103 \u00een mintea ei deja se n\u0103\u0219tea altceva.<\/p>\n
O hot\u0103r\u00e2re.<\/p>\n
Un plan.<\/p>\n
O rena\u0219tere.<\/p>\n
A privit f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 clipeasc\u0103, l\u0103s\u00e2ndu-i s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103 este zdrobit\u0103.
\u00cen interior, \u00eens\u0103, lini\u0219tea devenea perfect\u0103.
\u0218i \u00een acea lini\u0219te crescuse un singur g\u00e2nd:<\/p>\n
\u201eO s\u0103 pl\u0103ti\u021bi. Am\u00e2ndoi.\u201d<\/p>\n
O or\u0103 mai t\u00e2rziu, Adrian \u0219i Lorena dormeau, obosi\u021bi \u0219i \u00eencrez\u0103tori, ca dou\u0103 animale s\u0103tule.<\/p>\n
Elena s-a ridicat \u00eencet.
Rochia i se lipise de piele, grea, dar nu o mai sim\u021bea.<\/p>\n
A mers la mas\u0103.
A luat telefonul.
A ap\u0103sat c\u00e2teva butoane.<\/p>\n
Nu era genul de om care s\u0103 \u021bipe sau s\u0103 fac\u0103 scandal.
Dar era genul de om care, atunci c\u00e2nd i se rupea sufletul, nu mai avea nimic de pierdut.<\/p>\n
A sunat cine trebuia.
Oamenii care \u0219tiau adev\u0103rata fa\u021b\u0103 a familiei Stan.
Oameni care, pentru c\u00e2teva mii de lei, nu puneau \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
A trimis dovada.
Tot ce v\u0103zuse.
Tot ce \u00eendurase.<\/p>\n
Apoi, s-a dus spre pat.
Lorena dormea cu un z\u00e2mbet pe buze.
Adrian respira greu, cu pieptul gol.<\/p>\n
Elena i-a privit pe am\u00e2ndoi cu o lini\u0219te ciudat\u0103.
Nu mai sim\u021bea durere.
Doar dreptate.<\/p>\n
\u2014 La revedere, Adrian, a spus ea \u00eencet.<\/p>\n
A ie\u0219it pe u\u0219\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se uite \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd a cobor\u00e2t \u00een fa\u021ba hotelului \u0219i a sim\u021bit aerul rece al nop\u021bii, a \u00een\u021beles ceva:<\/p>\n
Nu pierduse nimic.<\/p>\n
Se eliberase.<\/p>\n
Iar \u00een locul inimii ei fr\u00e2nte, se n\u0103\u0219tea o for\u021b\u0103 care avea s\u0103-i schimbe via\u021ba pentru totdeauna.<\/p>\n
O femeie \u00eenvins\u0103 pl\u00e2nge.<\/p>\n
O femeie trezit\u0103\u2026 ac\u021bioneaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar Elena abia \u00eencepuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
