“It was my mission”: the content of Christophe’s letter revealed
In a previously unpublished extract available on the france.tv platform, Cécile is in her car and reads the letter that Christophe wrote before dying. Interspersed with numerous flashbacks to their love story, Christophe’s last words to his wife resonate in the cabin.
“Cécile, I made the decision to end it because I know that you will never be able to forgive me.”he wrote before adding, “Your conception of justice is opposed to this and I deplore it. And I suffer from it, too much, because my mission also consisted of rendering justice where yours was powerless. I wish I could lie to you again to ease your pain, to tell you that I regret having taken your life but I owe you the truth, finally“.
He then explains that by ridding the face of the earth of unpunished criminals, he has provided a service but above all that he has saved innocent victims. This is why he absolutely does not regret his actions.
He then continues, “It was my mission and I did it the best I could. And to carry it out, I had to lie to you and Achilles. But know that the only thing I’ve never lied about is my love for you. You have been the untouched and pure part of my life. The one I clung to when everything got too dark. My only regret is making you suffer. I love you so much“.
If this letter will leave a painful legacy for Cécile and Achille, it also marks the end of the story of Christophe and his alter ego The Florist. How will Cécile and Achille recover from this ordeal? Answer soon in Un si grand soleil.
