View More최고급 호텔 라세느의 VIP 전용 펜트하우스 복도.
두꺼운 최고급 카펫이 서연우의 구두 굽 소리를 무겁게 삼켰다. 창밖으로는 금방이라도 폭우가 쏟아질 듯 먹구름이 짙게 깔려 있었지만, 호텔 내부는 현실과 동떨어진 것처럼 고요하고 안락했다.연우의 손에는 유명 파티시에에게 한 달 전부터 특별 주문한 케이크 상자가 들려 있었다.
순백의 생크림 위로 '결혼 3주년'을 축하하는 레터링이 정갈하게 적혀 있는, 완벽한 케이크였다.오늘은 서연우와 강지훈의 결혼 3주년 기념일이었다.
'지훈 씨가 좋아해야 할 텐데.'
연우는 작게 숨을 고르며 펜트하우스 301호의 문턱에 섰다.
지난 3년의 결혼 생활은 결코 순탄하지 않았다. 시어머니의 끊임없는 멸시, 시누이들의 노골적인 무시, 그리고 남편 강지훈의 무관심까지. 숨 막히는 시월드 속에서도 연우가 버틸 수 있었던 것은 오직 '가족'이라는 울타리를 지키고 싶다는 간절함 때문이었다.어릴 적 아버지의 외도로 새어머니와 이복동생이 집에 들어오면서, 연우는 진짜 가족의 온기를 잃어버렸다.
그래서 자신의 가정을 꾸리게 된다면, 어떤 희생을 치러서라도 지켜내겠다고 다짐했었다.그녀는 남편 지훈의 무능함을 덮어주기 위해 자신의 모든 것을 쏟아부었다.
부도 위기에 처했던 지훈의 회사 '성진 어패럴'을 살려내기 위해 밤새워 재무제표를 뜯어고친 것도, 업계의 핵심 투자자들을 익명으로 연결해 주며 뒤에서 자금을 조달한 것도 모두 연우였다. 그녀의 헌신 덕분에 성진 어패럴은 불과 3년 만에 업계 탑의 자리에 오를 수 있었다.연우는 가방에서 카드 키를 꺼내 도어록에 가져다 댔다.
경쾌한 파열음과 함께 육중한 문이 열렸다.
"지훈 씨, 나 왔어."
대답은 없었다.
거실은 짙은 암막 커튼이 쳐져 있어 어두컴컴했고, 은은한 간접 조명만이 공간을 비추고 있었다. 서프라이즈 이벤트라도 준비한 걸까. 연우가 옅은 미소를 지으며 거실 안으로 걸음을 내디디려던 순간이었다.공기 중에 떠도는 낯선 향기가 연우의 코끝을 찔렀다.
달콤하면서도 짙고, 끈적거리는 싸구려 인공 향. 연우가 결코 사용하지 않는, 그러나 너무나도 익숙한 향수 냄새였다.미소가 굳어진 연우의 시선이 바닥으로 향했다.
대리석 바닥 위에는 허물처럼 벗어던진 옷가지들이 어지럽게 널브러져 있었다.
연우가 지난달 지훈의 생일 선물로 사주었던 톰포드 넥타이. 지훈의 셔츠, 그리고 그 옆에 노골적으로 얽혀 있는 붉은색 실크 슬립과 얇은 스타킹. 그 끝에는 아찔할 정도로 굽이 높은 빨간색 스틸레토 힐이 뒹굴고 있었다.연우의 심장이 불길한 박동을 시작했다.
손에 쥐고 있던 케이크 상자의 손잡이가 종잇장처럼 구겨졌다.반쯤 열린 침실 문틈.
그 사이로 적나라한 소리들이 새어 나오기 시작했다."아, 오빠… 이러다 누가 오면 어떡해?"
"올 사람이 누가 있어. 그 재미없는 여자는 지금쯤 집에서 청소나 하고 있겠지."숨이 멎는 듯했다.
대답을 한 남자는 분명 3년을 함께 산 남편, 강지훈의 목소리였다. 그리고 방금 전 콧소리를 내며 아양을 떨던 여자의 목소리.그 간드러지는 비음은, 연우의 뼛속까지 각인된 목소리였다.
'유아라.'
연우의 이복동생.
어머니의 자리를 꿰찬 새어머니의 딸이자, 평생 연우의 것을 빼앗고 짓밟는 데 혈안이 되어 있던 여자. 강지훈과 외도를 저지른 여자가 다른 누구도 아닌, 유아라였다.피가 싸늘하게 식는 기분이었다.
충격으로 다리가 무너져 내릴 것 같았지만, 연우는 입술을 꽉 깨물며 버텼다. 그녀의 머릿속에서 '다정한 아내 서연우'의 스위치가 꺼지고, 지독하게 냉정하고 계산적인 본성이 눈을 뜨기 시작했다.연우는 발소리를 죽인 채 침실 문 앞으로 다가갔다.
끼익-. 그녀는 망설임 없이, 아주 우아한 동작으로 침실 문을 활짝 열어젖혔다. 그리고 그녀의 세상이 무너졌다.“Claire are you coming?.” Alissa asked.“Yes sure!.” I got the hold of myself as I followed her to the mighty building.The building is too big to be even called a mansion. I understand why people refer to it as a palace. It is five stories high and is done in a curved shape. At the center of the water fountain is a large sculpture of a wolf.Alissa opened the double door and I entered the house after her. I suck in a breath when my eyes look around the building. The walls of the house are made of gold. There are long chandeliers lit at every point of the high ceilings. At the end of the hallway is a grand double staircase. The floors are made up of expensive marble. Everything in the house screams expensive.“Xander is in his room, we will head there now”. Alissa said and led us to an elevator. Of course they will have an elevator. What do I expect? They pressed on the button of the last floor and in no time we were there. They lead us to the east wink of the building. We soon reach
Luna Kiera~( Xander’s mom)It pains me for my son. It hurts so much. I have watched him wait for his mate for two years. And now that he has found her, all this is happening. I know that it is high time I take the matter into my hands. I wiped my tears as I thought of what to do. I called the principal of the school and informed him that I will be paying a visit to his office tomorrow. The next day I made my way to the school without informing Xander or Alissa that I will be coming. The principal called Claire to his office before he left us alone to talk.“Good morning Mrs Avila” she politely greeted me. She is such a nice girl. I just hope things work out between her and my son.“You don’t have to call me that. Just called me Kiera. That will do!”. I informed her.“Okay Mam, Sorry I can’t call you by our name. I feel like I am disrespecting you.” She told me.“As you wish then. Do you know why I am here?”. I asked her.“No! But I guess it has to do with Xander.” She answered.“Y
Early the next day, I called Xander and Alissa’s phone but it was not reachable.I kept trying it all through the day, but it never went through. The next day being Monday, I could not wait to go to school. I hurried to the school and found their car park empty. That is very strange. Maybe they are getting late or so I thought. But to my surprise, the day came and ended with no sign of them. I took courage and went to the principal’s office and asked them. The principal told me that they have all arrived for the burial of a distant cousin and won’t be back until a week after. Deep down in my heart, I knew that it was a lie. I remember the week I came to school and they were all absent. Something is definitely fishy about the whole family if they are actually a family as they say they are. The thing that hurts me the most is that they can’t even call me or text me to inform me where they are.“Do I really know the guy I am dating?”. I questioned myself. The week passed with me being
I didn’t even realize that I was crying already.“Claire, come on. Why are you crying?.” Xander asked me. He turned off the television and gave his full attention to me. He tried to move closer to me but I stopped him.“Why? Why are you doing all this? Why are you being very nice to me, why are you being me on this date?.” I asked him as I burst into sobbing now.“Because I wanted to. Because I love you!.” Xander declared. His words really shocked me. I have expected him to at least say he likes me not tell me that he loves me. “I know it’s too sudden, that’s why I don’t want to tell you. But I am serious about loving you. I have never felt what I am feeling now for anyone in my life.” Xander confessed to me.“Say something!”. Xander said when he noticed that I have not spoken since he confessed.“I don’t know if I love you or not yet, but one thing I am sure of is that I have strong feelings for you!” I said.Xander smiled and pulled me into his arms. He placed his lips on mine and
Claire POV~A week came and pass and today is the day of our date. When I have earlier told mom and dad that I am going out on a date, they where beyond shock and kept saying they want me meet the guy that changed my mind about the whole dating of a thing. Is not as if I told I don’t to date or some.
“What? No! Where did you get that idea from!”Xander asked, looking lost. So maybe that is not the reason he kissed me then. But you can’t blame a girl for assuming.“Well, I read it in a lot of novels, when the girl talks too much, the guy kisses her to make quiet.” I embarrassingly explained.“That’s
Today is the D-day.After we had breakfast, mom and I went to the spa. We had our body polish before we styled our hair. After that we did our make up there. By the time we came back home, it was already after three in the afternoon. The charity event starts at five thirty. We have more than an hour
Alpha Adonis POV “So can you take your leave now?”. “Nope! We have to talk!”. Jason muttered. I raised my brows at him; “about what?”. “Well the fact that you are mated to a human!”. Jason mind linked me. I looked at him and then at Alex. I knew that Jason would be smart enough to understand that Al
