« Tu ne seras ma femme que sur le papier. Tu auras tout… sauf mon cœur. Tu ne seras jamais Marina. » Pendant cinq ans, Lily a vécu comme l’épouse secrète de David : sa secrétaire posée le jour, sa remplaçante invisible la nuit. Chaque contact glacial lui rappelait qu’elle n’était qu’une remplaçante. Chaque « Marina » murmuré la blessait plus profondément que le précédent. Puis son ex est revenue. Et sans hésiter, David a écarté Lily comme si elle ne comptait pour rien. Elle a donc fait ce qu’elle aurait dû faire il y a des années. Elle a signé les papiers du divorce. Elle est partie. Mais désormais, David ne pouvait plus supporter son absence. Son silence le brûlait d’une manière dont Marina n’aurait jamais pu le faire. Et soudain, l’homme qui avait juré de ne jamais l’aimer était déterminé à la reconquérir. Par tous les moyens nécessaires. Même si cela signifiait la briser une nouvelle fois. Elle avait payé le prix d’avoir aimé cet homme une fois. À présent, c’était à lui de payer pour l’avoir perdue à jamais. »

«Sarai mia moglie solo sulla carta. Avrai tutto… tranne il mio cuore. Non sarai mai Marina.» Per cinque anni, Lily visse come moglie segreta di David: di giorno la sua segretaria composta, di notte la sua sostituta invisibile. Ogni tocco freddo le ricordava che era solo una sostituta. Ogni «Marina» sussurrato la feriva più profondamente del precedente. Poi tornò la sua ex. E senza esitazione, David mise da parte Lily come se lei non significasse nulla. Così lei fece ciò che avrebbe dovuto fare anni prima. Firmò i documenti del divorzio. Se ne andò. Ma ora, David non riusciva a sfuggire alla sua assenza. Il suo silenzio lo bruciava in un modo in cui Marina non avrebbe mai potuto. E all’improvviso, l’uomo che aveva giurato di non amarla mai era determinato a riconquistarla. Con ogni mezzo necessario. Anche se ciò significava spezzarle il cuore ancora una volta. Lei aveva pagato il prezzo per averlo amato una volta. Ora, lui avrebbe pagato per averla persa per sempre.”

«Serás mi esposa solo sobre el papel. Lo tendrás todo… excepto mi corazón. Nunca serás Marina». Durante cinco años, Lily vivió como la esposa secreta de David: su serena secretaria de día, su sustituta invisible de noche. Cada contacto frío le recordaba que no era más que un sustituto. Cada «Marina» susurrado le dolía más que el anterior. Entonces regresó su ex. Y, sin dudarlo, David dejó a Lily de lado como si no significara nada para él. Así que ella hizo lo que debería haber hecho hacía años. Firmó los papeles del divorcio. Se marchó. Pero ahora, David no podía escapar de su ausencia. Su silencio le quemaba de una forma que Marina nunca había podido. Y, de repente, el hombre que juró que nunca la amaría estaba decidido a recuperarla. Por cualquier medio necesario. Incluso si eso significaba destrozarla de nuevo. Ella pagó el precio por amarlo una vez. Ahora, él pagaría por perderla para siempre.»

„Du wirst nur auf dem Papier meine Frau sein. Du wirst alles haben – außer meinem Herzen. Du wirst niemals Marina sein.“ Fünf Jahre lang lebte Lily als Davids heimliche Ehefrau – tagsüber seine gelassene Sekretärin, nachts seine unsichtbare Ersatzfrau. Jede kühle Berührung erinnerte sie daran, dass sie nur ein Ersatz war. Jedes geflüsterte „Marina“ schnitt tiefer als das vorherige. Dann kehrte seine Ex zurück. Und ohne zu zögern schob David Lily beiseite, als wäre sie nichts. Also tat sie, was sie schon vor Jahren hätte tun sollen. Sie unterschrieb die Scheidungspapiere. Sie ging fort. Doch nun konnte David ihrer Abwesenheit nicht entkommen. Ihr Schweigen quälte ihn auf eine Weise, wie es Marina niemals könnte. Und plötzlich war der Mann, der geschworen hatte, sie niemals zu lieben, entschlossen, sie zurückzugewinnen. Mit allen Mitteln. Selbst wenn es bedeutete, sie noch einmal zu zerbrechen. Sie hatte den Preis dafür bezahlt, ihn einst geliebt zu haben. Jetzt würde er dafür bezahlen, sie für immer verloren zu haben.“

«Serás minha mulher apenas no papel. Terás tudo — exceto o meu coração. Nunca serás a Marina.» Durante cinco anos, a Lily viveu como a mulher secreta do David — a sua secretária elegante durante o dia, a sua substituta invisível à noite. Cada toque frio lembrava-lhe que era apenas uma substituta. Cada «Marina» sussurrado feria mais do que o anterior. Depois, a ex-mulher dele regressou. E, sem hesitar, David afastou Lily como se ela não significasse nada. Por isso, ela fez o que devia ter feito há anos. Assinou os papéis do divórcio. Afastou-se. Mas agora, David não conseguia escapar à ausência dela. O silêncio dela queimava-o de uma forma que Marina nunca conseguiu. E, de repente, o homem que jurou que nunca a amaria estava determinado a reconquistá-la. Por todos os meios necessários. Mesmo que isso significasse parti-la ao meio mais uma vez. Ela pagou o preço por o ter amado uma vez. Agora, ele pagaria por a ter perdido para sempre.”
