LOGINBeing young and naïve, she was just that open-minded and what she desired was not something much but to be with that one person she strongly admired. Having a crush on someone she couldn’t easily attain; Selena could only watch as a spectator and pray for her beloved to smile at her even if he didn’t mean it. Dreaming to become strong, happy, and live with the people that she loves, meeting him changed everything. Her naiveness and her love for him made her muddleheaded that she unknowingly fell into a trap that he made for her. Selena found herself living in the dream she never thought she will be, having a contract marriage with the man of her dreams, falling for him deeply every single day, she knew that she was done for. However, despite the circumstances that brought the two of them together, Selena wasn’t going to just give and be comfortable with what she had. What she wanted was his heart, soul, and body and no one was going to stop her from being with the man she sets her heart on. Who cares if she is poor? As long as her heart is rich with love, she was satisfied with that.
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。
HER ROYAL HIGHNESSCHAPTER 1Talia smiled as she looked at the noble ladies chatting and showing off their expensive and luxurious clothes and jewelries. It was the hugest event in the Kingdom of Qarth, the youngest prince was choosing his bride and all noble families had been invited.She wasn’t really from one of those but she was here as a helper, making sure that the place remains clean.Talia was nineteen years old and unlike other children of her age she wasn’t going to school. She lived with her grandmother; she never knew her parents so her grandmother was everything to her. She was sick and she could only work hard to pay her medical bills.“Stop staring,” Jane the woman who worked in the palace and the woman who had hired her said.She smiled at her and said, ‘it’s not every day that I get to see such a thing.”“Indeed, I wonder whom the prince
TWO YEARS LATERWho would ever thought that one day she will find herself smiling so brightly like that as if it was just her and her family alone in the whole wide world? She couldn’t hide the joy that was emulating from her as she posed for the month’s family pictorial for the new shop that their company had opened.She was proud of being a mother, a wife but above all a woman who found everything she wanted in this life. She smiled and thanked the staff who had worked so hard for making this pictorial lively as she left the stage where her pictures were being taken.“Mommy!” her daughter Sophia ran towards her and she scooped her two-year-old daughter up carefully as she was already expecting another child.They had been pretty busy; she wanted a huge family and Sean didn’t seem to mind at all.“Are you hungry my princess?” she asked her daughter as she rested well in her arms.&l
She couldn’t help herself but laugh as she saw how far she had come and how far she was also going. She cried as she saw the day she got married. She couldn’t believe that she was smiling like that. She had never seen that video before. Who took it? At the end of the documentary, there were words appearing on the screen.“On this beautiful day a baby girl was born and brought so much joy in our lives, thank you for being born Selena. I know we met under abnormal circumstances but I don’t regret ever meeting you. Marrying you was the greatest thing I ever did. You brought so much joy in my life as well as those of my family. You taught me to love, forgive and be a normal person who lives freely and happily. Because of all that I just want to say that thank you for loving and be with a person like me. I am very sorry for everything I made you go through but I promise you that I will never let you suffer in your entir
“I am sorry that I kept this away from you but I just wanted to see that look in your eyes,” her husband confessed and she smiled through the tears.“I had completely forgotten about it. I like it,” she said as she looked around, seeing the decoration but above all the people that had come to celebrate this big day of hers.“Happy birthday my love,” Sean said as he kissed her on the forehead.Selena closed her eyes and let the intimate moment linger for a while. Her heart was racing like crazy because of joy, she was glad she didn’t pressure Vivian more about the day. This was one day she will surely never forget.“Thank you very much,” she said as he looked at her after kissing her.“Let’s get you inside on a couch, I wouldn’t want you falling down again from shock,” he said jokingly and she found herself laughing.Sean took her to the couch where she sat, there w
She had rested well enough the whole day and it felt good having a massage. She just hoped that her arrogant husband will give it to her occasionally then she will surely be over the moon.They got into the S.U.V and settled in the back. She could see her driver Richard smiling. It felt as if everyone was aware of what was happening except her. What was really going on? She was now so curious that if no one tells her in the coming two hours she was going to surely explode with anger.Vivian instructed Richard to pass by the burger place where she bought her a big chicken burger and some soda for her to eat. She was grateful to her friend who didn’t complain much about her eating habits; maybe this was why she was so heavy now.She couldn’t cut off the food; she tried but that only resulted her in so much distress that Sean scolded her and she didn’t want to suffer that again twice. So, since he loved her like that then she was just going to be
After their dessert and more talks, it was time to send Selena back home. Even though she was alone, she doubted if her husband was comfortable having her sleep away from home.She knew just how much Sean loves Selena and how protective he was of her and their love just inspires her all the time. Their kind of love gave her the courage to be where she was now, happy with Edward.The man she loved since she was young and the man who was making her happy and smile each and single day. She was glad that she confessed to him and told him how she felt otherwise he would have never known and she will be pinning for someone who had no knowledge of the issue at all.She waved her friend goodbye as she got into her car. It was going to be difficult to see her soon but she will always call and talk to her. Seeing how busy she had been these past few days because of the commercial that was suppose to hit the screen in a couple of days, she will probably be resting at home
