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。
Kayla I walked away from the witch’s cottage with the two maids the alpha had assigned to me. The words the witch had told me still rang in my head. I was not sure what to think about this information and it bothered me a lot. I sighed through my nose, shaking my head to clear my thoughts. I decided not to worry about it for now. It was a matter I could not exactly control. “Miss Kayla, would you like to take a tour around the pack house?” One of the maids asked. I brightened up, nodding my head profusely and we began to make our way back to the pack house. As we walked towards the pack house, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. It was a magnificent structure made of wood and stone, with a thatched roof and large windows. It was surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, and the sound of a nearby stream added to its serene beauty. Brenda and Rose showed me around the various rooms in the pack house. We started with the main hall, which was grand and spacious, with high
Aiden My awe had not faded, seeing what Cynthia had just done. Her eyes were fixed on me intently, a look of seriousness in them. Seeing as she had just performed a rather serious ceremony, just to prove her feelings for me, I could not help but start to harbour some trust for her. “Aiden,” she cooed. “Do you believe me now? Did my feelings reach you?” I gazed at her, my eyes trailed to her plump red lips she had used to utter such words. My wolf, inside of me, yearned for one person, Kayla, but at the moment, there was a force drawing me to Cynthia, a force I could not comprehend. I decided to not fight it. I levitated towards her, my hands slinking around her waist and my lips capturing hers in a soft kiss. Cynthia leaned into me with hesitation, her hands making their way around my neck. Our kiss grew hotter by the minute as she parted her mouth and made way for my tongue to explore hers. She moaned into my mouth and I could feel her body quiver as I trailed a hand a
Kayla I kept having the same dream that night. It was all in the same sequence. I was standing in a clearing, surrounded by the men who had defiled me. They were taunting me, leering at me, and I felt helpless and terrified. Then suddenly, Aiden appeared, charging towards them with fury in his eyes. He fought them all off, one by one, until they lay motionless on the ground. But as soon as the last one fell, Aiden turned towards me, his eyes filled with sadness, and tears streaming down his face. It was the same dream every time, and every time I woke up in a cold sweat, my heart racing, and tears streaming down my face. Morning came, and I shot up from the bed, my whole body drenched in perspiration. I couldn’t help but replay the dream over and over in my head, trying to make sense of it. Did it mean that Aiden had something to do with those men who had defiled me? Why was he punishing them for what they had done? The more I thought about it, the more I convinced myself
Aiden As I stood in front of Daniel, his eyes blazing with anger, I heard the whispers around me. But I ignored them, my mind too clouded with fury to pay attention to anything else. He had it coming. He had always been a pain, always getting drunk and causing trouble. He was never going to change, and I was tired of his antics. I hovered over Daniel, still seething with anger. My blood boiled in my veins, my chest heaving with every breath I took. I stare down at Daniel, who looked back up at me with a mix of shock and fury. I felt no remorse for my actions. I had grown tired of Daniel’s constant antics, his selfishness and jealousy. For years, I had overlooked his behavior, trying to keep the peace for the sake of their pack. But not anymore. Daniel raised his hand, ready to strike me back, but before he could, our father walked in. “What is going on here?” he demanded, his voice authoritative and stern. Daniel turned to face him, his drunkenness making his movements unst
