LOGINOn the day of my wedding, I was stabbed, left to die... and forgotten. While I bled in my wedding dress, my fiancé married my sister. And my adoptive family, the people who I thought loved me never even looked for me. They all moved on like I never existed. I thought my world had ended. But I refused to stay a victim. Benjamin Grey, CEO of Grey Global found me, saved me, and helped me rise again. When I thought I would get my revenge, I found out that my biological mother who had been missing for fifteen years was alive, and held captive by my adoptive parents. The more I try to find peace, the more trouble comes in. And I wished I had died that day. Maybe death would've been easier than living with everything I now know. Maybe I won't have to face all these traumas. But life had other plans.
View More私が行きたい、と言っていた夜景が素敵なレストラン。
高層階にあるこの場所は、窓から見える夜景が有名で。
まるで星を散りばめられたような光景に私の目は釘付けになっていた。
目の前には、どこか緊張した面持ちの婚約者――清水 瞬(しみず しゅん)が座っている。
素敵な時間も、もう終盤。
あとは食後のデザートを残すのみ、となった頃。
緊張した面持ちのまま、瞬が口を開いた。
「心(こころ)」
「どうしたの、瞬?」
瞬が、緊張した面持ちのまま、小さな小箱を取り出した。
私の目は、それを視界に映した瞬間、驚きに目を見開く。
瞬はすぅっと息を吸い込むと、私を真っ直ぐに見つめたまま、言葉を紡ぐ。
髪の毛の隙間からちらりと覗く瞬の耳は、真っ赤に染まっていた。
「加納 心(かのう こころ)さん。俺はこれからもずっと君と一緒にいたい。結婚しよう」
「――瞬っ、嬉しいっ。もちろんよ、よろしくお願いします!」
私達が付き合って、5年。婚約を結んでから、2年。
今日は私達の記念日だった。
そんな記念日に、こうしてレストランでプロポーズを受けるなんて。私の視界は、涙で滲んでいく。
私たちの周りには、いつの間にか沢山のお客さんが集まり、拍手で祝福してくれた。
感動して泣き出す私を瞬が優しく抱きしめ、そっと唇にキスを落としてくれた。
◇
それなのに――。
「心、君の気持ちは十分伝わったよ。俺たち付き合おう」
そう、愛おし気に目を細めて言ってくれたのは、全部嘘だったのだろう。
今、私に向けられている瞬の目は、かつての温かさや優しさ、愛おしさ
なんか微塵も残っていなかった。
ただただ、煩わしそうに瞳が細められ、冷たい視線が注がれている。
「……何だその顔は?嫌そうな顔をするな。麗奈は今、帰国したばかりで大変なんだ」
瞬は、心底煩わしそうに私を一瞥し、すぐに顔を逸らしてしまう。
「何も、言ってないわ……行ってらっしゃい」
「最初から快く送り出しておけばいいものを……面倒な事をするなよ、心」
瞬はふん、と鼻を鳴らして私をひと睨みした後、冷たく背を向けて部屋を出て行ってしまう。
苛立ち混じりに力任せに閉められた扉の音が大きく響く。
私は一人、広い部屋にぽつりと残され、佇んでいた。
今日は、記念日だったのに。
テーブルの上には瞬の好物が沢山用意され、所狭しと並べられていた。
瞬はそれを一口も食べる事はせず、会社から帰るなり急いで麗奈のもとへ行ってしまった。
沢山の料理が並べられたテーブルの向こう、二人で撮った写真が写真立てに飾られ、楽しげに笑っていた。
もう、あの写真の中のように笑う瞬を、私はしばらく見ていない。
The wedding still lingered in my mind like a dream I wasn’t ready to wake from. The laughter, the music, the way Benjamin looked at me as though I was the only person in the world—it was all still fresh, still glowing inside me. And yet, here we were, thousands of miles away, in Mexico, where the sun stretched wide across the ocean and the air smelled like salt and coconuts.The resort was beautiful, but it was the beach that drew us in every morning. Daisy was the first one to run ahead, her little feet sinking into the soft sand as she clutched her plastic bucket. She didn’t even wait for us, she was already kneeling by the water’s edge, digging and laughing to herself, determined to build the tallest castle in Mexico.Benjamin and I walked slowly behind her. His hand was warm and steady in mine, his thumb brushing over my knuckles every so often as though to remind me he was there. After everything we had been through, it still surprised me sometimes how far we have come together.
I thought it was just another Saturday.Benjamin told me in the morning that Marcus wanted us to come by the garden venue he was managing. He said Marcus needed an opinion for an event. I didn’t question it because Marcus has always been there for me. Benjamin told me to dress nicely, “just in case there’s a photographer taking sample shots.” His words made me roll my eyes, but I went along with it.I put on a soft cream dress I hadn’t worn in months, simple but comfortable. I didn’t feel like I was dressing for anything more than a walk through a garden. Daisy wore a pale pink dress with little ribbons in her hair, skipping around the room while Benjamin tried to get his tie straight.When we pulled up, I realized something was different. The garden was quiet, but not in the usual way. There were flowers everywhere, more than what I thought a normal event would need. White roses lined the walkway, and the chairs were arranged in two neat rows, facing a small wooden arch wrapped in vi
The house smelled like food and warmth. Benjamin had insisted on cooking half the day, saying New Year’s deserved something better than takeout or simple pasta. Daisy had been bouncing between the living room and kitchen, stealing bits of vegetables when she thought he wasn’t looking, giggling when he caught her. I spent most of the afternoon helping where I could, setting the table, slicing bread, but mostly watching them with a kind of quiet amazement.A year ago, I couldn’t have pictured this—being here, steady enough to stand in my kitchen, waiting for a new year with my family.“Mom, taste this!” Daisy shoved a spoon toward me, the sauce dripping dangerously close to my sweater.I leaned forward and took a small sip. “Mmm. That’s good.”Her grin spread across her face like I’d just given her the world. “See, Daddy? I told you it needed more salt.”Benjamin raised an eyebrow at her, shaking his head. “You’ve been my critic all day.”“I’m the boss,” she shot back proudly, before sk
The sun was already warm when we pulled into the park. Benjamin carried the picnic basket in one hand and Daisy’s kite in the other. I walked a few steps behind them, watching Daisy skip ahead in her little sneakers, her laughter spilling into the air like music.It was one of those rare mornings when everything felt light. No appointments, no rushing, no worries pressing on my shoulders. Just us.Benjamin glanced back at me, his mouth curving in that quiet smile that always settled me. “You okay back there?”I nodded. “Just enjoying the view.”His smile grew wider, and he adjusted the basket. Daisy spun around, her curls bouncing. “Come on, Mom! We have to find the perfect spot before other people take it!”I laughed softly and hurried to catch up.We found a patch of grass under a wide tree, its branches stretching over us like an umbrella. Daisy dropped her little blanket with a proud sigh, as if she’d chosen the most important place in the world.“Perfect,” Benjamin said, setting
