MasukIt was a one sided marriage for all he could remember. But what happens when he discovers that he actually has feelings for her? Lucius Davis and Daisy Diego have been a married couple for 2 years and counting. Even though Daisy was aware of the fact that Lucius didn't totally love her back, she still tried her luck to get his full attention and love. "Congratulations, Daisy. You're 1 month pregnant". Hearing these magic words in her ears caused her to rush to her husband's company, hoping to inform him of the good news. She entered Lucius's office only to discover his ex in the office with him. Daisy discovered the hard way that she was just a replacement for his ex-girlfriend who once rejected him, but was now back. Lucius handed a divorce paper that minute to Daisy. His pairs of crimson eyes were staring coldly at Daisy, expecting her to sign the paper. "I…. I hate you, Lucius!". Daisy trembled, and with a shaky voice she said. She threw the divorce paper at Lucius's face and dashed out of his office. As soon as she came out, the tears that gathered in her dark blue eyes finally fell on her cheeks. It was evening time when Lucius returned to the mansion, but no signs of Daisy since she already packed her belongings and left.

助手席から差し出されたペットボトルを受け取り、私は小さく息をつく。 莉央――私と同じ顔を持つ双子の妹は、相変わらず世話焼きで、そして無邪気だった。 けれど、ふと視線を上げたとき、彼女の膝に落ちていた“白い羽”に胸がざわつく。 「……どこから入ってきたんだろう、こんな羽」 私がつぶやくと、後部座席の怜央が笑いながら身を乗り出した。 「気にするなよ。山の上だし鳥だって飛んでる」 軽い口調。けれど私は知っている。 “この村で舞う羽は、ただの鳥のものじゃない”――そう語る怪談を、昔から。 後部座席のもう一人、真央が窓の外を覗き込む。 「……なんか、静かすぎない? 鳥の声も、虫の音もしない」 車は山道を登り、森の奥へと進んでいく。 風も止まり、葉擦れの音すら消えた世界に、ただエンジン音だけが響いた。 「澪……やっぱり怖くない?」莉央が不安そうに笑う。 私も笑い返すけれど、胸の奥に広がるのは、不思議な寒気だった。 私と全く同じ顔の、一卵性双生児の双子の妹の莉央(りお)は、気の強い美人の私と顔こそ同じものの、優しくて気が弱くておっとりしている。 私達は名前の似ているのだが、まさかの彼氏の名前もお互いに似ている。私の彼は運転手もしている怜央(れお)、同じ大学3年生だ。 「あははっ。澪は莉央ちゃんに頭が上がらないよな。俺もだけど。尻に敷かれまくってるよ。大学首席のこの俺様が」 「首席自慢されてもね?運動全然じゃん!喧嘩も弱いし、頭脳戦だけじゃん怜央は」 「あー?そういうこという?頭がいいのって大事でしょ?頭脳戦も。戦闘ならほら莉央ちゃんの彼氏、真央(まお)くんがいるからこのチームは」 急に話題を振られ、スマホゲームをしていた爽やかなショートヘアの男性は、はにかみながら、へへっと笑った。 「怜央さんには叶わないよね!俺、頭は良くないし。莉央が気が利くし、頭もいいから莉央のおかげで人に騙されないだけで。ただ、そうだね。運動神経に自信があるので、莉央も澪さんも怜央さんも守れる自信あるけど?」 「うわぁ、真央くん頼もしい!ほらー怜央しっかりしてよ!」 真央くんのはにかむ笑顔も、気まぐれな性格も、猫系男子。 莉央は、真央くんの彼女にお似合いのふわっとした大人しくて優しい女性らしい女の子。 そして、私は気の強そうな美人に見えてるし、怜央はガラの悪い頭だけいいウルフカットの学年首席。 大人っぽいカップルと、爽やかなカップルのダブルデートって感じ。 ……ほんとは、真央くんを気になっていた時期もあるけど、真央くんが莉央を好きだと気づいてからすぐに莉央の良いお姉ちゃんとなった。 脈ナシ。いままで百戦錬磨で狙った男はみんな手に入れられたけど。彼女に一途で落ちそうもない。その彼女は同じ顔した妹。 ところが、大学一、モテる「学園の皇帝」という異名の、怜央が私を好きになるという天変地異のような展開が私を待っていた。 そして、この学園の皇帝の怜央を、莉央がずっと憧れていた推しという、複雑な関係である。 推し……推しって。莉央は付き合いたいわけじゃないから、推しがお兄ちゃんになったって喜んでいるから問題ないけど、どうなのかな、この関係は。 好きだった人は姉妹の彼氏。 顔が同じだから、両想いになれない複雑さ。 「澪、この村の言い伝えの鶴の恩返しの都市伝説、確認しにいくの本当に危なくないんだな?まあ。もう現地ついちゃうけど……」 「鶴の恩返しって、助けてもらった鶴が、恩返しに猟師の家に行って機織りをするんだよね?」 「怜央、莉央。この村は鶴に恩返しるか奉仕するか選ばせたっていう都市伝説のような、嘘か本当かわからない伝説がある」 「そう、この鶴の恩返しの怖い話は、動物はじめ、助けられた人を村に集めて、孤立したひとたちを強制労働させていたさもしれないってことよ」 「ホラー話好きだもんね、澪は。人が行方不明になるっていう村、に彼氏や妹とその彼氏つれてく?」 莉央は、目が笑っていなかったが、声は笑っている。 それは、そう。 「そうね。私たちの両親の行方がわからなくなった村だからね。怪談や伝承を調べに行くと言って。孤児になって、叔母さんの養子になって。だから」 「ほら、峠だ。……村の看板だ。人も住んでいる。物騒なことを言うもんじゃないよ。民宿に泊まるんだし。」 山沿いをうねりながらカーブが続いていく。山を登りきって、さらに降りていくと 小さな村が、見えてくる。 鶴の恩返しの伝承のある、小さな村。 やがて視界に現れる赤い鳥居。 その足元には、いくつもの白い羽が散らばっていた――。The other city of California, It was just a few hour ride and Asher returned to their hometown with Zeke and Zach. Asher parked his car inside Lucian's mansion before they all got down. Zeke and Zach ran into the massive building which was in front of them. “Mom, we're back! Lily, Emily, Dad!”. Zach excitedly yelled out as soon as he entered the mansion. Anya was inside the kitchen when she heard Zach's voice. She immediately stopped what she was doing and went to the living room to meet him. Upon arriving inside the living room, Anya said to Zach, “Calm down, son. Reduce your voice. Your father and sisters, including me, we're all around in the mansion. Actually, your father is in his study room with Lily and Emily”. “Mom!”. Zach excitedly exclaimed and ran to hug Anya tightly. Zeke saw the way Zach behaved and slightly shook his head at him. ‘Tsk, Zach is still behaving like a baby’. Zeke thought to himself. Later on, he simply waved his hand at Anya. “You bra
Almost throughout the day, Daisy and Dahlia were busy because they were finalising the contracts for their companies’ cooperation. Daisy's office, “All done. Dahlia, you've finally signed all the contracts. Now, my company would be able to invest in your company”. Daisy announced with a smile. Meanwhile, Dahlia was so over the moon. She didn't exactly know how to react. Dahlia suddenly said to Daisy, “It's already 4pm, big sis. Which day are we preparing to go to China?”. “What are you talking about?”. “I mean, this morning, didn't you say we'd all travel to China to meet our mother?”. Dahlia raised an eyebrow as she reminded Daisy about what happened earlier in the morning. “I know that, Dahlia. I was only kidding. Anyway, we're going to the airport exactly by 7pm. Our flight to China is tonight”. Daisy suddenly announced, causing Dahlia to be super stunned. Dahlia's mouth was opened for a while before she eventually said some words, “That fast? You've already bought our t
“So that's it, my dear. Your Mom is currently in China. She's currently admitted to one of the best treatment centres over there”. “It's been 20 years already since she was in a coma”. Diego added and his face was filled with worries. “I can't believe this. My mom is still alive. It's– it's really unbelievable!”. Daisy muttered, and the tears she held back started gushing out again. “I'm so sorry for not telling you sooner, daughter. But my point is, forgive Lucius about what he'd done to you, so that you won't live in regret like me”. “Father, I've wholeheartedly forgiven Lucius. But, I don't think I'll get back with him”. Daisy replied sincerely to her father. Diego and Daisy spend many more minutes outside before they return inside the mansion. Diego went to his room, same with Daisy. As soon as Daisy entered her room, she went to her bed and laid on it. Different thoughts were playing inside her head, so she couldn't sleep, at least, not yet. After thinking for a while
The kids arrived inside their bedroom and immediately informed Zeke and Zach about what was going on. Unfortunately, Alexander, Jack and Henry, received a heartbreaking response from Zeke and Zach. Zeke and Zach informed them that they were also going to return to their hometown by tomorrow. “What are we going to do now, big brother Alex?”. Henry asked, as he was reluctant to return back to Las Vegas. “I- I don't know”. Alexander honestly replied, and said nothing afterwards. The time was running fast, and it was nighttime. Everyone ate dinner with dull faces. In fact, no one was happy. After dinner, Dahlia took all the plates to the kitchen, as she wanted to wash them all. Upon arriving in the kitchen, Dahlia began washing the plate like a robot. Meaning, her emotions were off and on. Dahlia was still doing the dishes when Teresa came to meet her. “Seriously? Is no one really going to say anything about this? Don't tell me you really want Daisy to return back to Las Vegas
"Hurry kids. This is really urgent to me". Daisy said. She already packed Alexander, Jack and Henry's clothes, also with hers. Though Henry insisted on bringing his toys along, Daisy didn't let him do so and promised to buy new toys for him when they arrived in California.Now they were finally do
"She has my love, Daisy. Something you could never have". These words kept repeating in Daisy's dream. "No. No. I…. I hate you!". Daisy declared and soon her eyes opened. Her neck was sweaty and her throat was dry. She lazily sat up on her bed before she took the glass filled with water by the t
Dahlia returned home with a gloomy and sad face because she didn't get revenge on Lucius for what he did to Daisy. Actually, what she was mostly sad about was because she didn't slap Annabelle's cheek. Dahlia was able to clearly remember the wicked grinning of Annabelle, and she totally understand
Throughout the night, Dahlia couldn't fall asleep since it was hard to. She was still thinking about what happened to Daisy that made Lucius visit the mansion.She didn't sleep until after 1am in the morning. And at 6:30 am sharp, she woke up, changed out of her night wear and wore a black trouser,
