View More「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。
“Meaw…..” Loki’s soft cries sounded just as Mia and Aaron’s lips were about touching each other, making both of them pull away abruptly “Oh my God!…” Mia worried in her heart. She glanced over at the small cat walking around and sighed out silently in her heartIf it had shown up few minutes after now, then she would have definitely kiss AaronMia bit her lower lip slightly in disappointment. She wasn’t disappointed in anyone, but herself. How could she allow Aaron to kiss her so easily like this“Loki…. Where the hell in the world are you coming from? I’m going to punish you for sure. Come with me” Marisa stumbled over to where the little cat was and picked it upShe kept on scolding it while heading back to the kitchen making Aaron laugh slightly He knew why Marisa was being that harsh towards Loki. And in fact, it really made him happy He glanced over at Mia with the corner of his eyes and blew out a loud sigh “I think I should leave now. Maybe we can have coffee another time”
“Knock…knock…knock” Lucy knocked on the door gently and waited patiently She glance over at Alex who was seated in the car waiting for her and sighed out desperatelyShe didn’t want to go on with this, but she has no other option eitherWhatever Alex said to her earlier at the cemetery still lingered in her mind. And so many questions piled up in her brainShe tried asking Alex why he believes strongly her father is the cause of his parent’s death. But he didn’t allow herHe just kept on pleading with her to bring him to Mrs. Hayes’ house. And now they’re here, but there seemed to be no one aroundLucy knocked on the door several times again. But the result still remained the same. No one showed up at the doorLucy turned to look at Alex and shook her head slightly with worryWith this, Alex quickly got out of the car and joined Lucy up there. He also knocked on the door several times and went round to see if he could find anyone nearbyAfter confirming there was really no one around
“I really wish you weren’t doing this Jeffery. It feels much better being here alone with you without that brother of yours” Lora coiled herself up on the bed and pouted softly “You know this is not my idea. If I don’t go and bail Collins out of that place today then my dad will really get angry. Besides, you guys doesn’t do anything intimate when he’s around do you?” Jeffery asked while buttoning his shirt in front of the dressing mirror “Not really. I just don’t like his presence. I wish I could spend this night too here with you” Lora licked the corners of her lip slightly and stepped out of the bedShe walked over to Jeffery and hugged him tightly from behind “please don’t go”Jeffery turned round to face Lora after buttoning his shirt and held onto her shoulders gently “Lora, we’ve been spending the past few nights together and I believe we both need some rest at this point. Aren’t you tired? We just finished two rounds this morning”“I can do it over and over again with you wi
Lucy kept the picture back in the album and closed her suitcase. After that she kept the other picture too back at where she picked it from and closed the wardrobe gently So many things didn’t make sense to her at this pointThe last time Alex got upset with her for performing the rumba dance and inquired about where she learnt it fromMrs Hayes too almost fainted from hearing Alex’s name the last time she visited herAnd today she has found her picture lying in Alex’s wardrobe. What could be the reason behind all these?Or it’s just some mere coincidence?No. This can’t be just some mere coincidence. There must surely be some kind of connection between these two people she doesn’t know aboutAnd she’s got to find out by all means Lucy sighed out helplessly at the thought of all these and covered herself with her blanket. Sleeping in the couch often gives her body aches, but it’s still much better than that flat mattress Collins provided her with And it made her fall asleep in no t
Later in the evening…Aaron sat at the dining table together with Mia and Bella waiting anxiously for Lucy and AlexVanessa told them earlier this morning Lucy had been found. And that she’s with AlexBut it’s been several hours now, and still there’s no sign of any of themAaron tried calling Alex earlier but he didn’t answer. The panic has reduced, because they’re hopeful Alex will bring Lucy home. And that’s what they’re all eagerly waiting for To see Lucy, hug her and have dinner together with herAfter waiting for few more minutes, the door finally swung open. And Alex walked in with Lucy hand in hand“Lucy!…” Mia quickly rushed over to them and hugged Lucy tightly. Few days ago she almost believed her friend was gone for good. And that she was never going to see her again until they meet in the next world But now here she is. Standing fit and strong in front of her. What else can excite her more?“We’re glad you’re finally back home Lucy. You got all of us so worried about yo
“Hey Jeff, pick me up at the airport right now. I’m waiting for you by the roadside” Collins spoke anxiously on the phone as he headed to the roadside “The Greens haven’t found you have they?” Jeffery asked worriedly from the other side of the phone“Not yet. But if you delay so much they might find me. And you know what’ll happen if that happens. So please hurry” Collins hanged up the call and walked in the fastest pace everAfter contemplating on what to do earlier, he finally came to a decision of saving himself over his love for Lucy He should have known everything was a trick. But now here he is, running for his lifeThe love he has for Lucy blinded him. He trusted her completely, thinking they were about leaving the country for a new beginning But who was he kidding?However Lucy was able to contact Alex still remained a mystery to Collins. He thought very seriously about it, but nothing seemed to making sense to himLucy has chosen Alex over him. But that doesn’t mean he’s g
