暁(あかつき)家の令嬢であり、今は神宮司夫人である瀬奈(せな)は広い部屋でポツリと呟いた。
彼女は今日もある人物を待ち続けている。来るはずがないとわかっていながらも、瀬奈は二十年間ずっと彼の来訪を心待ちにしているのだ。
「一体どこから私は間違えてしまったのかしら……」
ベッドサイドに腰かけた瀬奈は、彼と初めて出会ったときのことを思い浮かべた。
「初めまして、神宮司湊斗です」
「……」
神宮司湊斗(じんぐうじみなと)と名乗った彼に、強く心惹かれたのを瀬奈は今でも覚えている。一目惚れだったのかもしれない。
サラサラの黒い髪、高い鼻梁、切れ長の美しい瞳、幼いながらに整った顔立ち。瀬奈は一瞬にして彼に心を奪われてしまった。
暁グループの令嬢だった瀬奈と、神宮司財閥の御曹司だった湊斗。
二人は許嫁だった。そのことを父親から聞かされたとき、瀬奈はとても喜んだ。彼女にとって初恋の相手であり、愛する湊斗と結婚できるのだと。
しかし、彼のほうはそうではなかった。
湊斗は瀬奈との婚約中、多くの女性と浮名を流した。学校の同級生、年上の社会人、父親が経営する会社の社員にまで。彼は相手の身分関係なく手を出した。
瀬奈は自分には指一本触れないにもかかわらず、他の女性と関係を持ち続ける湊斗に不満がないわけではなかった。しかし、彼に嫌われるのを恐れていた瀬奈は何も言うことができなかった。
「結婚前に遊びたいだけだろう。神宮司家の正妻になれるのだから、それくらいは目を瞑りなさい」
父親は湊斗が遊んでいることを知っていたが、瀬奈に我慢しろと言った。
両親からも味方してもらえなかった瀬奈は、必死で自分に言い聞かせた。
彼女たちはただの遊びであり、自分は神宮家の夫人となる女だ。だから結婚すればきっと自分だけを見てくれる、とそう信じていた。
しかし、現実は残酷だった。
湊斗は結婚してもなお、瀬奈の元には訪れることなく、愛人の元で夜を過ごした。そのことを責めた瀬奈に、彼は言い放った。
「お前を愛することはできない、これからは俺の行動に口を出さないでくれ」
彼の目は初めて出会った頃とは別人のように冷たかった。
それから湊斗は瀬奈に指一本触れることなく、多くの愛人を囲い、彼女たちとの間に五人もの子供をもうけた。そのうちの誰かに会社を継がせるつもりのようだ。
「奥様ったら、今日も一人ぼっちでいるわ」
瀬奈は湊斗の帰ってこない邸宅に一人取り残された。彼は今日もきっと愛人たちの住む家へ帰っているのだろう。
しかし、湊斗を愛している彼女は毎日のように彼を待ち続けた。自分の元へ来るわけがないとわかっていながらも。
そんなことを続けているうちに、二十年という歳月が経過していた。瀬奈と湊斗はお互いに三十八歳となった。
彼女は既に子を望めるような年齢ではなくなり、湊斗のほうも新しく愛人となった若く美しい女に夢中になっていると聞いている。
瀬奈の中で、何かが音を立てて崩れ落ちて行くようだった。
二十年という年月はあまりにも長すぎた。彼女の心は既に限界を迎えていた。
翌朝、心配そうに彼女に声をかけたのは湊斗の秘書だった。
「奥様……」
普段別邸で暮らしている湊斗の私物を取りに来る彼は、たびたび瀬奈とも顔を合わせていた。神宮司家で彼女を気にかけてくれていた数少ない人だ。
「今日も湊斗は愛人のところにいるんでしょう?」
「そ、それは……」
彼の秘書・中田一馬(なかたかずま)が言いづらそうに視線を逸らした。
知ったところで今さら驚きもしない。湊斗が瀬奈の元を訪れることなど、この二十年間数えるほどしかなかったのだから。
それでも彼女は彼のことを信じて待っていたが。
「いいのよ、わかっているから」
「……」
彼はうつむいた。瀬奈が辛い思いをしていることを知っておきながら、何もしてあげられないことに罪の意識を抱いていた。
しかし、今日の瀬奈の表情はいつもと違うと、彼は思った。これまでは湊斗に対する希望を見せていたにもかかわらず、今はどこか諦念に似たものを彼は感じた。
「中田さん、私最後に行きたい場所があるの。よかったら付き添ってくれない?」
「は、はい!奥様!」
”最後”という言葉に疑問を感じながらも、中田は彼女について行った。
Zane had been working 12-hour shifts for almost a month. He came home late almost every night, feeling slightly guilty that Janiya had to deal with the babies full-time by herself. She was such a good wife to him. She never complained unless she really had a good reason.His guilt about working so much was relieved when Janiya called to let him know she and the babies were staying with his parents for a few days. It was when she would send him pictures of herself, the babies, and his grandparents at the beach or in parks, having picnics.It was the end of the month, with only two days left before he was about to get a break. Zane was thrilled to be about to get some free time. Zane felt like it had been a long time since he had shown his Niya the kind of care and concern she deserved.Zane was confident that Janiya knew that he loved her to the ends of the earth. He sat at his desk as his wheels began turning; he began thinking about what he could do for her that he hadn't already don
"Perfect as always." He smiles, pleased. "You don't look like someone who just had twins.""Aw, thanks, babe." Janiya walks out of the room, dancing to the music. The thirty minutes flew by so fast. Zane was right on time through his jacket."What do you think of this outfit? It doesn't look too wild. I bought this for my babies.""Babe, that's cute. You even look hot in that cute jacket. Mi'an and Ji'an, how does daddy bird jacket look?" Janiya chuckled as the babies tried to take the bird off his shoulder.The doorbell rang, and when Li-ling opened the door, the house was lit up with noise and laughter. Zane introduces his family to the guys."Guys, this is my beautiful wife Janiya, and this is my pretty baby girl Mi'an, and my handsome son Ji'an. The twins are now one and a half years old."All the guys said. "Hello, hi, it’s so nice to meet you, Janiya.""Don't tell me your names," Janiya said, smiling."Xavier, right? I think we talked over the phone before.""Yes. It's so nice t
Cheerful laughter, a variety of good music playing, and the smell of delicious food filled the air. The Win household was about to throw a special party for some very special people who would be arriving in about an hour. Zane and Janiya were throwing a house party for their friends. Zane's bandmates finally came to visit the family and see Zane's wife and babies in person for the first time.The guys have been keeping in touch on Instagram and snapping chat photos of the babies and Zane playing with them. The band members never saw Zane look so happy. But Zane wanted the guys to come and see the family in person and spend time with him in China. Janiya was so happy this day; it was finally happening for Zane, and now she could see the band members in person. She has watched and shown the babies, who are now trying to dance more than walk, by watching daddy and band members in their videos.It was amazing how their daughter, who seemed to speak very clearly at 1 year of age. Mi'an wou
A taxi pulls up, and Zane gives the name of the hotel to the cabbie, who drives away. Zane pulls Janiya flush against him in the back seat. Her leg snakes over his as her lips finally land on his warm mouth. The fact that they're in the back of a cab leaves Janiya a little unsettled, but when she feels his tongue slide unhesitatingly against hers, all thoughts evaporate from their minds.Zane gripped a hold of her plumper hips and butt and lifted her onto his lap. Never breaking the connection of their mouths. When she wiggles against his rock-hard rod, Zane almost loses it. The friction is enough to drive a sane man out of his mind with delirium.“Your destination, Sir.”It takes them both a few seconds to process his words, but when they do, Zane pulls out a handful of bills and practically throws them through the window. Janiya let Zane lead them into the hotel building, and they walked towards the elevator.Quite a few people recognized them. “Oh, that’s Win Zane’s and his wife.”
Loving Zane and being loved by Zane made it all bearable. His heart and my heart are truly one. Janiya said tearfully the day he left. In her mind, it was like a whorled glass that distorts a picture, like a thumbprint smear over a lens. She couldn’t believe it when he told her that day that he was
The inside of a car never seemed so cramped before, even though there was plenty of room in the back seat with Janiya and Zane’s grandmother. But with his grandmother staring a hole in the side of her face and head. It made it very uncomfortable, to say the least.The grandmother kept staring at Ja
A doctor came through the swinging doors to the waiting room. “Mrs. Win, Mr. Win? I’m Dr. Woo. Your husband and grandfather are out of the danger zone regarding his heart. He had 90% blockage, but we successfully put in a stem, and his heart is operating fine again.”“Oh, my goodness, thank you, Dr
Janiya’s eyes were drawn to the impressive sprawling homes along the stone driveway. The grey stone and white stucco complemented each other fantastically, as did the arched windows and carved pillars that separated each home.Each home has a curved appeal with a magnificent garden in front of the h
