「新郎、あなたはやめるときも、すこやかなるときも。新婦聖良(きよら)を愛しぬくことを誓いますか?」
「はい。誓います」「新婦、あなたはやめるときも、すこやかなるときも、新郎棗(なつめ)を愛し抜くことを誓いますか?」
「……はい。誓います」
「それでは、誓いのキスを」
タキシード姿の彼が、目の前で私のヴェールを取り、顔を近付けていく。 そして私たちの家族、棗さんの家族、みんなの前で永遠の愛を誓った。
だけどこの結婚式でお互いに誓ったこの愛は。……そこには愛なんて存在しない。 偽りだらけでウソばかりを重ねている。
そう、私たちの結婚は偽りなのだ。 ウソがにじみ出た、偽りの結婚。
偽りの夫婦を、私たちは演じているのだ。 全然、幸せな結婚なんかではない。では、なぜこんなことになったのか……?
それは遡ること三ヶ月前のことだ。
偽り結婚をすることになった夫、棗(なつめ)との出会いは突然だった。
私はもともと地元では有名なホテル【ホテル・トクラ】で、コンシェルジュとして働いていた。 働き始めてから二年弱だった。
コンシェルジュとしての仕事の働き方が大好きで、この仕事ならずっと働いていられるかもしれないと、そう思っていた矢先のことだった。
「ねぇ!聖良(きよら!)」
同期である村岡(むらおか)静音(しずね)が突然大声を出して私の所に駆け寄ってきた。 「静音? どうしたの?」「ねぇ、大変だよ!!」
「えっ、何が大変なの?」 「う、うちのホテルが……。うちのホテルが、あの鷺ノ宮(さぎのみや)グループに、買収されるんだって……!」……え? え……? う、ウソ……!?
「ええ!? それ本当なの……!?」
「間違いないよ!さっき鷺ノ宮(さぎのみや)グループの社長が来て、そう話してたんだからっ!」
えっ、ウソでしょ……。買収って……。
「えっ、じゃあ、私たちは……どうなるの?」
「それが……」
次の瞬間に出た静音(しずね)の言葉は、あまりにも衝撃的で……。
「私たち、このホテル解雇されるんだって……。次の鷺ノ宮グループからコンシェルジュを引っ張ってくるらしいの。……私たちは、要らないってことみたい」
「そんな……そんなのひどくない?」
私たちは、このホテルから追い出されることがそれと同時に決まった。
咄嗟に言い渡された解雇。 そんなの信じられないし、信じたくない。
だけどその話は事実で、私たちの中で残れることになったのは、主任と教育担当のリーダーの二人のみだった。
後は全員、事実上の解雇となり行く宛を失った。 次の就職先を鷺ノ宮グループが斡旋(あっせん)してくれるという話が出たけど……。
そんな話受け入れたくもなくて、私はそのままホテルを辞めることにした。
大好きだったコンシェルジュの仕事を失って、ホテルの名前にも鷺ノ宮の名前が入ることとなった。
私たちは結局、行き場を失った。 職がないとなると、今の家に住むこともきっと出来ないだろうな……。
どうしようかと考えていた矢先、出た答えは一つ。 実家に帰ることだった。
だけど出来ることなら、実家には戻りたくはない。 父親に断固反対されて、それでもどうしてもコンシェルジュになりたかったからだ。
私はそんな父親の反対を押し切ってまで、東京という街に出てきたのだから、今更戻れる訳もないんだ。
そもそも今更実家に戻りたいなんて言ったところで、認めてくれるのだろうか……。お母さんはいつでも戻ってきていいからねと、言ってくれているけど。
やっぱり父親はきっと、それを認めてくれないだろうな……。言われるのはきっと、もう田舎で結婚して幸せに暮らしなさい、に決まっている。
そんなのはイヤだ。だけどそうするしか道がないかもしれない。 それが私にとっての、一番の道筋だ。
そう思ったその時だった。
「……なあ。お前が波音(なみね)聖良(きよら)か?」
誰かにそう声をかけられた。
「……え?」
気になって声の主の方に振り返ると、目の前には長身ですらっとしたスーツを着た若めの男性が立っていた。
"Friend, I can't believe you took her there!"The greenhouse where Carlos took her was Lisa's favorite place and also the dream that was cruelly interrupted."'It's all part of my plan, and I think I'm finally making some progress,' he said as he finished buttoning up his shirt.""And how can you be so sure if she hasn't given you an answer yet?" joked one of the guys Carlos had picked up."By the look on her face," he laughed."I needed to see how she was after my fake confession... she'll be here, and she won't be long."Carlos was confident that Ana would accept him, and when the time came, he would wish he had died in that accident."I just hope you don't regret it, buddy," Marcos knew convincing Carlos to give up that revenge would be a lost battle, but he couldn't help voicing his thoughts on the matter."I'll regret letting her be happy while Lisa never had that chance. I'll regret allowing her to start a family while she stole mine. I'll make her life a living hell to the poin
"Darling!"What are you doing here?"I waited for you to call me after we spent the night together, and since you didn't call, I decided to come here and call you to repeat the dose again."Ana was sure this was the most embarrassing moment she had ever experienced."See you tomorrow," she said as soon as the elevator arrived, and she got in."Wait, Ana.""Ana? So, you're the secretary who almost got in our way that night?""I apologize for that; it won't happen again," Carlos said as the elevator closed, leaving Carlos alone with Samantha and Ana relieved that she hadn't given in the night before.Despite Samantha's insistence that they spend another night together, Carlos refused.In her bed, Ana thought about what she would have done if she had given in to Carlos and he had flirted with another woman the next day. And she concluded once again that she had done well not to sleep with him."Ana..." - that female voice was quite familiar to her, and Ana knew that what was happening wa
Ana wasn't sure when she managed to fall asleep with Carlos cuddled up to her, nor why she didn't push him away. Maybe it was because of the wine or the need to not have someone by her side for a while. But of one thing she was sure, she felt regret knocking at her door when she felt his hand on her belly inside the sweater she was wearing.She never thought about having a relationship with any of her bosses, although he wasn't her boss, but still, having a relationship with someone she was working with was a little strange to her.His reputation as a womanizer was not pleasant at all, and she didn't want to be one of the many one-night stands he proudly collected.Without him waking up, she managed to get out of bed and headed for the bathroom, where she took a shower and put on her clothes.As soon as she left the bathroom, he was already standing waiting for her, but she avoided looking at him."Good morning!" - hugged her from behind."Good morning!" - she pulled away from him. -
"Good Morning! What can I do for you?"asked the receptionist." I'd like to rent a room," she said a little nervously." For how many days?"" One day and one night!" - answered Carlos, from a distance, with both hands in his pockets." Do you have one that doesn't have a bathtub?" It was strange to keep asking this, but I couldn't bear to stay long in a room that had a bathtub."We do.""Then we will take this one."The receptionist handed over the room key and the two of them went to the room."It's not so bad," she said as she looked at the room, "but why a room without a bathtub?- Because I don't like it," he placed his bag on the small sofa there."Apparently there are many things you do not like, Miss Ana -" he threw himself on the bed " I'm dead! I almost didn't sleep last night" - he took off his shoes and lay down again.- Are you going to sleep?"A little sleep! Come "- he knocked on the bed calling her to lie down - Enjoy resting too."At your side?"- her already knew the
In the office Ana looked at the clock repeatedly, but it seemed like the time never passed and the headache only increased."I will never drink again," " Ana, I need you to translate this document into Italian by noon, can you do it? I'm going out for a while, but I won't be long," he left her alo
The day had already dawned, but Ana was still sleeping while Carlos' eyes were on her.Having her sleeping in his room in his bed only increased the hatred he felt, but he needed to keep this feeling hidden to successfully execute his plan.Carlos had given up his previous plan of pretending to have
The weekend had arrived and finally Ana had some free time since she started working with Carlos.Learning to run a hotel was not easy, but he taught her very calmly and patiently. Sometimes she felt a certain look coming from him, but she always thought it might just be an impression of his."Is to
“Have we met before?” she asked, trying to remember if she had seen him somewhere before. A faint smile touched his lips. “Sorry.” One corner of his mouth lifted slightly. “But it’s hard not to recognize a Miller. Your father was very well known in the hotel industry. I used to watch the interview
