로그인I was about to get married, but my boyfriend of nine years had no idea. Why? All because his recently divorced ex-girlfriend waltzed back into town, and he threw himself into her life without hesitation. The knight in shining armor was back, ready to save the day. The moment they saw each other, it was like a scene from a bad romance novel. Their gazes lingered, sparks flying, the kind that screamed, “Oh, we’re soulmates reunited.” To welcome her back, he had 9,999 Juliet roses flown in to decorate her room. Why? All because it was a promise he had made to her long ago. How sweet. Except for one small problem: I’m severely allergic to pollen. When I woke up in the hospital after an emergency rescue, I didn’t cry, yell, or demand answers. No, I pulled out my phone and texted my parents, "Please help me arrange a marriage. I’m done."
더 보기「おめでとう、妊娠してる!……双子だよ!一条くん、きっと驚くね!」
専属医の三上先生の言葉が何度も頭の中で復唱されている。
「信じられない!嘘?本当に私のお腹に子どもが?しかも二人も!?」
嬉しいというよりも頭の中が真っ白だ。結婚して三年。妊活に励み子どもを授かることを待ちわびていた。ずっと、ずっと待ち望んでいた瞬間が今日、いきなり二倍になってやってきた。
病院からの帰り道、窓の景色を眺めながら私は夫の瑛斗に報告する場面を何度も想像した。彼のくしゃっと笑った顔。少し照れたような心の底から嬉しそうな顔。早くその顔が見たかった。
長年仕えている運転手が私の変化に気づき話しかけてきた。
「華お嬢様、何か良いことでもあったのですか?さきほどからとても幸せそうなお顔で微笑んでいらっしゃいますね。」
「ええ、とっても素敵で幸せなことがあったの。」
夫の一条瑛斗は、一条グループの若きCEO。切れ長の瞳、通った鼻筋、そしていつも自信に満ちた佇まい。初めて見た時、私はその完璧なまでのルックスに息を呑んだ。瑛斗のことを高校の時からずっと好きで初恋の人だった。
神宮寺家の令嬢である私は、父や祖父が決めた相手と結婚をしなくてはいけなかった。いわゆる「政略結婚」だ。家のために自分の気持ちとは関係なく結婚することは絶望的な未来に思えた。しかし、運命は残酷なだけではなかった。
お見合いの席で、一条家の御曹司として瑛斗が現れた時は信じられなくて言葉を失った。まさか初恋の相手が夫になるなんて想像もしていなかった。その夜、喜びと幸せで胸がいっぱいになり興奮して眠れなかった。こうして私たちは夫婦になった。
あれから三年。瑛斗は社長に就任して多忙な毎日を送っているが、私は初恋の相手瑛斗の妻になれたことに幸せを感じながら毎日を過ごしている。
(念願の妊娠だもん。こんな嬉しいニュースは直接伝えて瑛斗の喜ぶ顔が見たい)
病院を出てすぐに電話で報告しようと思ったが直接伝えることにした。
病院から帰ってきてすぐに瑛斗が好きなラザニアを作って帰りを待つことにした。もちろんソースは一から手作りだ。料理長の作るご飯も美味しいが、こんな特別な日は自分で作って瑛斗を喜ばせたかった。
(どんな顔をするだろう。どんな言葉をくれるだろう。)
ソースを煮込みながら、彼の喜ぶ姿とこれから始まる家族4人の生活を想像しながら彼の帰りを待っていた。出来立てを食べて欲しくて帰りが何時になるか連絡したが返事は来ない。ソファで待っているうちにうたた寝をしてしまい、車のエンジン音で目を覚ました時には既に22時を過ぎていた。
瑛斗を出迎えるため慌てて玄関へ向かう。
「おかえりなさい」
「ただいま。」
「なんだか疲れているみたいだけど大丈夫?」
「ああ。……話があるんだ。少しいいかな」
いつもより冷たく沈んだ声で瑛斗が静かに言った。疲れ切った様子の瑛斗だが、大人の男の色香をまとい、疲れた顔さえも魅力的だった。3年たった今でも瑛斗と目が合うとドキドキして胸が高鳴る。
表情がどこか硬い瑛斗の後ろを歩きリビングへ入った。
(仕事で疲れているのかもしれない。でも妊娠のことが分かったら気持ちも変わるかも!)
「先にご飯にする?今日ね、話をしたいことがあって瑛斗の好きなラザニアを作って待っていたんだ。」
「……そうやって機嫌でも取っているつもりなのか。」
「え……?」
瑛斗の言葉に耳を疑った。普段はそんなことを言う人ではない。頭の回転が早く、いつも冷静で落ち着いて、人が不快に思うような台詞は今まで一度も言ったことがないので信じられなかった。
「瑛斗、仕事で何か嫌なことや問題でもあったの?何か疲れている?私に出来ることがあるなら……」
ソファに座る瑛斗に近寄り、膝をついて手を重ねると怪訝そうな顔をしてすぐさま振り払った。
「触るな。もう放っておいてくれ。それよりここにサインをしてくれないか?」
彼は深くため息をついた後、鞄から一枚の白い封筒を取り出した。
何の書類か分からず受け取ったがタイトルを見た瞬間、頭の中が真っ白になった。
(なにこれ……)
【離婚協議書】 彼から渡された書類にはこう記されてあった。
"Gina, I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please, give Sean back to me. I can’t live without him. My ex-husband has found me again, and he says he’s coming to take me away. I can’t survive without Sean. I’m begging you!“I took this ring without Sean’s knowledge. I’m giving it back to you. I promise I’ll disappear from your life. Please write a letter of forgiveness for Sean so he can be released. I’m begging you." My sister moved to pull Serena away, but Serena refused to budge, stubbornly kneeling in front of the car. I couldn’t stand the scene any longer. All I wanted was for this ordeal to end. I handed her the letter of forgiveness. She bowed deeply in gratitude as I rolled up the car window and left without another word. At the wedding, my father placed my hand in Swaine’s, patting it gently. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes. This was the wedding I had dreamed of countless times, but the groom was no longer Sean. Looking at Swaine standing before me, I knew I would be happie
I looked into his eyes and shook my head. "Gina, are you still mad at me? It’s all my fault. Please forgive me, okay? We promised to grow old together. If you want to get married, let’s do it tomorrow! I’m proposing to you right now. Marry me, Gina!" As he spoke, Sean pulled out a ring and dropped to one knee, right on the shattered glass. He didn’t seem to notice the pain. "Gina!" Swaine’s voice cut through the tension as he entered the scene. The moment Sean saw Swaine, he completely lost control, lunging toward me in desperation. "Stay away from her!" Swaine pulled me behind him, shielding me as he stepped between us. "Gina, we’ve been together for nine years," Sean said, his voice trembling with anguish. "We had so many beautiful memories, so many dreams for the future, so many promises. Are you really leaving me for him? Gina, you can’t do this to me!" A cold laugh escaped my lips. He had the audacity to accuse me when he was the one who destroyed my life by bringing
The next day, my puffy, red eyes startled the makeup artist at the bridal boutique. It took ages with ice packs before the swelling went down. The wedding dress, which Mom had commissioned long ago, was nothing short of a dream—elegant and breathtaking. Swaine stared at me in stunned silence, so much so that my sister had to nudge him. Snapping out of it, he immediately started complimenting me. "You look amazing," he said, almost too earnestly. My sister couldn’t wait to take photos and post them on social media. "Raw, unfiltered shots. Shocked by how stunning my sister is today!" But weddings were far from easy. Just trying on the dress left me exhausted. While I was swapping outfits and feeling a bit lightheaded, a voice called out from the doorway. "Excuse me, who’s Ms. Gina? Your delivery is here." "That’s me," I responded instinctively. The delivery driver handed me the food, took a quick photo for confirmation, and left. Afterward, I asked around, but no one
"Where are we going?" I asked after a long silence."To let some furry friends heal you," Swaine said with a small smile.He took me to his stray animal shelter. Handing me a bag of cat food, he said it was feeding time. The pets here didn’t look anything like strays or abandoned animals—they were clean, healthy, and visibly adored. Every single one seemed to love Swaine. Watching him flail his arms to catch a mischievous kitten climbing up his back, I couldn’t help but laugh. My mood lightened considerably. Sitting on a bench, I felt a brave little cat climb onto my lap, purring contentedly as it nestled against me. Swaine sat down beside me, and together we looked up at the round moon in the night sky. "Your mom told me everything," he said after a pause. "Do you regret leaving him?" "No," I replied softly but with unwavering certainty. "Good," he said with a serious tone, then turned to me. "Because I’m not letting go. I won’t let him hurt you again, Gina. I’ll do my b
