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。
The chamber was silent now, but the shadows lingered, curling like smoke around Anna and V as they faced the figure emerging from the far corner. The air was electric with tension, every heartbeat echoing like a drum in the stone walls. Anna clutched the letter, the weight of her father’s words pressing on her mind like an anchor, tethering her to a past she had never fully understood.V’s hand rested lightly on her shoulder, steady and reassuring. “Whatever happens, we face it together,” he said softly, his voice slicing through the heavy silence.Anna nodded. She had learned, through every trial, every deception, that she could not do this alone, and she would not falter now. She stepped forward, the glow of the symbols beneath her feet illuminating her path. The labyrinth had revealed its final trial, and she was ready to confront it head-on.The figure in the shadows stepped forward, removing its hood to reveal a face that was both familiar and terrifying. It was Sergei’s right-ha
The chamber was suffocating, shadows pressing in from every corner, as Anna and V stood facing the figure emerging from the darkness. The mirrors reflected not just shapes, but intentions, each one a twisted echo of fear and memory.Anna’s hands trembled as she gripped the letter her father had left. Every word seemed to pulse with urgency, revealing secrets she had longed to understand, yet fearing at the same time. The labyrinth was alive, and now it demanded the final act.“This is it,” V whispered, eyes scanning the shifting shadows. “Whatever happens next, we have to trust each other completely.”Anna nodded, swallowing hard. “We have no other choice.” Her gaze swept the chamber, noting the symbols etched into the floor, the mirrors warping the reflections, and the hidden alcoves where danger might lurk.The figure stepped closer, voice cold but calm. “The labyrinth shows the truth. Choose wisely. One path leads to revelation, the other… to oblivion.”Anna’s mind raced. Every les
Anna’s heart pounded as the masked figure stepped closer, the floor beneath them pulsing with eerie light. Every reflection in the mirrors seemed to twist unnaturally, multiplying the shadows until she could barely distinguish reality from illusion. The air was thick, heavy with the scent of old stone and secrets long buried.V’s eyes never left the figure. “Stay calm,” he whispered, though his body tensed like a coiled spring. “Observe. Wait for the opening.”Anna swallowed, her mind racing. Every instinct screamed that this was no ordinary trap—it was a test, a crucible designed by her father, by Sergei, by forces she still didn’t fully understand. Yet despite the fear, a spark of determination ignited within her. She had come too far to falter now.The masked figure moved silently, each step deliberate. Its presence seemed to warp the very air around them. Anna noticed that with every movement, the glowing symbols on the floor shifted, forming new patterns she hadn’t seen before. H
The chamber seemed to shrink with every second, shadows folding in on themselves as Anna and V faced the cloaked figure blocking their only exit. The glow from the open box bathed the room in pale light, revealing maps, keys, and strange symbols carved deep into the stone floor. Each marking pulsed faintly, almost as if alive, responding to their presence.Anna’s fingers clutched the documents tightly, feeling the weight of the choices now pressed squarely onto her shoulders. Every instinct screamed that a wrong move could destroy them, yet her curiosity—her need to understand her father’s intentions—pushed her forward.“Identify yourself!” Anna demanded, her voice echoing off the high stone walls. “What do you want from us?”The cloaked figure remained silent for a long moment, the faint rustle of fabric the only sound. Then, finally, a low, almost musical voice spoke. “I am neither friend nor enemy. I am the consequence of choices made long before you walked this path.”V’s grip on
“Father?” Anna whispered.The word felt unreal as it left her lips.The man standing at the far end of the corridor didn’t move immediately. He simply watched her, his expression calm, almost amused, as though he had expected this reaction.The dim light flickered along the stone walls, casting shi
Anna hurried toward the harbor. The sun was slowly dipping below the horizon, and shadows stretched longer along the empty streets. Her heartbeat raced, but every step was driven by curiosity.As she approached the old pier, she noticed a lone figure standing on the dock. The man wore a black coat,
The chamber was thick with tension, the lantern flickering as if hesitant to reveal too much. Anna’s chest heaved; each breath felt sharp, each heartbeat a drum echoing the danger around them. V’s dagger remained poised, his eyes scanning every shadow, every flicker of movement. The cloaked figure
The hidden staircase spiraled downward into darkness, each step groaning under their weight. Anna’s hands slid along the stone railing, cool and rough beneath her fingertips, grounding her in the present. Every nerve in her body screamed caution, every instinct warning her that this was no ordinary
