View More「彼と結婚してからもう二十年が経つのね……」
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。
I was completely surrounded by all three of them. There was no way out of the circle they had formed around me. “Hey! We said we would drop you right?” One of them said in an angry toned voice. “And I said I was fine right? Now let me go!” I cried out. I could have easily shut these guys up if I had my wolf powers in hand. My first interaction with humans had to be these disgusting creeps. I remained vigilant to see if anyone of them would make a move at me. “Come on… let’s just have some fun…” one of them approached and held onto my wrist. His disgusting comment and action had anger rushing inside of me. I could not take his nonsense anymore! It was time to show him whose boss. Gathering all my strength, I sent one tight slap across his face in a matter of seconds. I stared at him with anger as he placed his hand on his burning red cheek. At first, he had his head lowered to the group, feeling ashamed that a girl like me slapped him hard… but he soon looked up with bloodshot e
As I reached the borders in speed, with the help of my claws I halted myself from going any further. I wanted to slap myself for not realising that the borders were protected by the guards or gammas of our pack. If they noticed me, I was for sure going to be busted. I growled at my stupidity. Since I was in my wolf form, I was able to swiftly hide in the nearby bushes. My glowy eyes peaked through the leaves of the bushes as I scanned the tall brick wall. There was no way I could jump over it without alerting the guards. I was scanning through my surroundings to find any way I could get to the other side. I turned my head to the sky and had an idea spark in my feline brain when I noticed a tree. While the guards were having a little chat amongst each other, I quickly, with the help of my claws grabbed onto the trunk of the tree and climbed it to the top. The branch of the tree extended over the wall, allowing me to steadily crawl on the steadily crawl on the wobbly and bendy bran
van locked the door shut as he pushed me into my own room. I wanted to escape but he stood tall, blocking the door. I stared at him with disgust as he began to approach me. The more steps he took forward, the more I took back. My body was shivering at the thought of this monster in front of me. I knew he was not a nice person, but I never thought he would stoop this low. With the force of his hand, he gripped me and brought me closer to them before pushing me against the wall, completely invading my personal space. I let out a few grunts as I tried to escape and wiggle my hands out of his grip. “Shhh! Carmen… I can already imagine the kids we are going to have after we marry. I am going to give you so much love that you will fall for me. You are mine, Carmen! Did you hear me?” he whispered like a creep into my ears. I processed his words and got worried. I was not going to spend the rest of my life with this man. He did not even have an ounce of respect for me to say the least. T
My eyes scanned at Ivan standing before me. Seeing that jerk in front of me, only added to my anger. My mom gripped my hand to take me to him, but I hesitated… not moving an inch from my spot. Mom saw what I was upto and gave me a glaring look before dragging me subtly with some force to Ivan. As we were face to face, I forced a smile on me as instructed by my mom’s gestures. Dad too kept his eye on me to assure that I was putting on my best behaviour. It felt like I was in prison. I was a puppet to my parents as they kept instructing me on what to do and what not to do. It was frustrating to say the least. “Dinner is served so why don’t we get inside?” Mom raised a question with a smile, breaking the awkward silence. I kept my mouth shut to avoid a shout from my parents in case I said something wrong to Ivan. The three of us entered the dining room as I continued to stay silent. The servants had set up the dining table neatly with white cloth and decorative candles. The vase at
As I was busy thinking about that guy, I noticed Angel’s skeptical face. Her shoulders were loose and one of her brows was raised.“What happened to you?” I asked her, trying to hide the truth as much as possible.“What happened to me? What happened to you?!” She corrected my statement with a sassy
The sound of grass getting crushed and the sound of twigs getting snapped filled the atmosphere with an eerie sensation. Angel and I became very alert as if we were in our wolf form. Our senses went berserk.The wind blew past our faces as we kept twisting and turning our heads to keep a look out o
Ivan pounced on me with his ferocious growl and sharp claws! I let out a scream until suddenly everything turned pitch black.My eyes then suddenly awoke me to a very familiar environment. I looked around and scanned the place to finally realize that I was in my own room, in my own comfy bed!I got
Mom and I were jumping with anxiety as dad was standing right outside the door! We knew how bad dad’s anger was, so we did not want him to see me, not ready yet.“Honey, just a few minutes! We will be right out!” mom yelled out to dad while gesturing me to hurry up and put on my dress.I stood sile
