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。
One year later…Relaxing in the comfortably worn-in leather chair, a glass of top-shelf single malt swirling in my hand, my eyes took in the generous sweep of our living room. Every little bit of this spot, from the slick marble underfoot to the showy, fancy-as-hell chandelier above, spoke of a kind of smooth, subtle luxury. Our new home, tucked into the wealthy, serene bubble of the Broadmoor neighborhood in Seattle, was our haven – old-world class meeting new-world swag, privacy valued, and a community that had our back."You know, every time I walk past that alcove," I motioned towards the corner of the room where a collection of wedding photos took pride of place, "I'm reminded of how real our wedding was."Emily's eyes followed mine, her lips curving into a fond smile. "Well, the second one at least."Our real wedding had been a polar opposite of the first. Intimate, with only close friends and family, held on the shores of Lake Washington. The sun had painted the skies with hues
Well, who would’ve thought? The room should’ve been dripping with scandal, awkward glances, and gossip whispering through every corner, but nope. It morphed into a fantastic party instead. Laughing faces, clinking glasses, and a weird yet totally welcomed wave of euphoria fizzed through the air. Everyone was raising their glasses, toasting to the spectacle, to the unexpected joy in a very expected mess.My heart was bopping around in my chest like a pinball, all because of Adrian’s “I love you” still ricocheting through my mind. There we were, in the middle of it all, swaying, smiling, completely wrapped up in each other while the crowd partied on around us. As the bass pumped through the space, I could only hear the soft, steady beat of our hearts, and feel our breaths gently colliding in the small space between us.It was all so perfect—just him, me, and our little secret, safe in our bubble amid the chaos.But then, reality, that persistent bugger nudged its annoying nose in.Enter
"Perhaps this will interest you all," Derek announced with a dramatic flair, clearly relishing the moment. As he unfolded the document, it was clear he had gotten his hands on our agreement. "A contract," he declared, his voice dripping with satisfaction, "outlining the precise terms of their little charade."The murmurs and whispers grew louder, shock and betrayal evident on every face. Emily's face paled, and my heart raced as Derek continued to gloat.Derek’s smirk widened, sensing he had the upper hand. "Oh, Adrian, did you really think you could outsmart me?" With feigned gentleness, he adjusted the document so he could read it clearly, and began in a loud, theatrical voice."'Parties involved: Ms. Emily Stanton and Mr. Adrian Blackstone. Purpose: To enter into a mutually beneficial agreement, in which Ms. Stanton will act as Mr. Blackstone's fiancée for a period of six months, with the aim of securing certain business and social advantages,'" Derek paused for effect, letting the
The day I'd fantasized about as a little girl, wrapped in my mom's old curtains pretending to walk down the aisle, had finally come. And the ironic thing was, it wasn't even a real wedding. Still, the buzz in the room was infectious.Katie, always the pragmatist, was coordinating last-minute details and double-checking the seating arrangements. "I can’t believe this venue! This is going to be one for the books!” she declared, eyes sparkling mischievously as she winked at me.Shannon, my ever-supportive sister and maid of honor, was busying herself with fluffing up the train of my dress and ensuring every hair on my head was perfectly in place. "You look like a princess, Em," she whispered, emotion evident in her voice.Then there was Mom. Elizabeth - or 'Liz' as her friends called her - was a force to be reckoned with. A petite woman with a shock of silver hair and the energy of a tornado, she could command a room without uttering a single word. Today, she was in her element, overseein
The wave of nausea had hit me like a freight train, leaving me reeling and disoriented. By the time I got my bearings, I found myself in one of the plush lounges adjacent to the boardroom. Adrian was there, leaning against the doorframe, a mask of concern shadowing his striking features.My cheeks f
The glow of the computer screen illuminated the dim room, casting a soft light over the elegant venues that filled my inbox. The Starlight Ballroom is renowned for its celestial ceiling and glass walls, offering a panoramic view of the Seattle skyline. The Cascadia Gardens, with its lush greenery,
After our steamy encounter in the living room, we’d moved to the bedroom, seeking a more comfortable space. The dim bedroom was now filled with the subtle scent of passion and warmth. The tangled sheets wrapped around our bodies like a protective cocoon, shielding us from the outside world and its c
It was two days out from the wedding, and my penthouse looked like the aftermath of a strategic war room conference. Papers were scattered everywhere — on the coffee table, the couch, even the floor. Everywhere I looked, I saw evidence of the upcoming event: glossy photos of Château Éclat, the chos
