Camila was born a slave, and for that, she wasn't entitled to a last name. She and her mother, a prisoner of war, served diligently in the house of a Jorvikian General, who took pity on them and gave them a home. Life was relatively smooth until Camila became an unwitting pawn in a plot to ruin the life of Ronan, the first son of the Morosov household. On the morning of Ronan's wedding day, Camila woke up in his bed, clueless about what had transpired. This incident sent their lives spiralling into sorrow and pain. Ronan lost the woman he loved and wanted to marry, while Camila and her mother were branded as enemies and social climbers. Life became unbearable for the young slave, and things worsened when she discovered that the incident had resulted in a pregnancy. Fearing for her child's and her mother's safety in a harsh world, Camila was surprised when the Morosovs showed some humanity. They allowed her to keep the baby on the condition that she would raise the child as a nanny. This option was better than being thrown out on the streets to fend for herself and her baby. Nearly two years later, Ronan returned, having stayed away. When he realised what had happened, he decided to take Camila and his daughter to live with him. Although Camila was to live as his maid and their daughter's nanny, the question remained: would the bond they shared ignite an unknown spark between them? Would Ronan forsake his ambitions and allow himself to fall for a woman he was trained not to love?

Chapter 1

01 What Happened Here

東村に五度刺されたとき、赤い血が私・吉江美波(よしえ みなみ)の白いワンピースをじわじわと染めていった。

血塗られた刃が私のか細い首筋に押し当てられる。

「吉江秋水(よしえ しゅうすい)に連絡しろ」

私はほんの一瞬だけ躊躇したが、顔面蒼白のまま震える指で電話をかけた。

「……私、東村に拉致された。五回刺された。今、うちの団地の屋上にいる。……早く、助けに来て……」

数秒の沈黙の後、返ってきたのは想像していたような心配の声ではなかった。むしろ冷ややかで、皮肉すら含まれていた。

「そうか。葵が情緒不安定で自殺未遂してるときに、お前が刺されたと……

東村に?俺があれだけ情報を隠してたのに、どうやって新居の住所を知ったって?

次から芝居打つなら、もうちょっとマシな嘘ついてくれない?」

冷酷な声が受話器越しに響く。東村の黒く濁った瞳に、恨みの炎が燃え上がった。手に力が入り、私の首筋には真っ赤な裂傷が刻まれた。

私は今にも泣き出しそうなほど恐怖に震えていたが、必死に平静を装った。

「私は……あなたが岩崎葵(いわざき あおい)を助けに行くのを止めるつもりなんてない。もし信じられないなら、部下の誰かを様子見に寄こしても……」

「もういい!」

秋水は不機嫌そうに私の言葉を遮った。

「演技は結構。俺は今、葵を助けに行く。お前の相手してる暇なんかない」

そして部下に命じた。

「『屋上の刺傷事件』は虚偽通報として処理しろ。誰が通報してきても、無視でいい」

通話は一方的に切られた。

東村の目にはさらに深い恨みが湛えられ、絶望の冷気が全身を襲った。

まさか、秋水がここまで非情だとは思ってもみなかった。

前世、同じように東村に刺された私は、必死に子どもを守ろうとして、秋水に何度も電話をかけた。

結局、私の哀願に負けて、彼は私を助けに来た。

そのことを知った葵は精神的に崩れ、借家に火を放ち、焼死した。

その夜、秋水がどこか様子がおかしくて、私は尋ねた。

「怒ってるの?」

秋水は普段の冷淡な態度を隠し、優しく私の腹を撫でながら言った。

「怒ってるわけないだろ。彼女が死んだのは自業自得だよ。気にしなくていい。元気に赤ん坊を産んでくれ」

その後、彼は至れり尽くせりで私の面倒を見てくれた。私は、彼がようやく目を覚ましたのだと、そう思っていた。

だが、出産当日。

彼は私を病床に縛りつけ、目を血走らせながら、赤ん坊にナイフを何十回も突き立てた。

「あのときお前が俺を無理やり行かせなければ、あんなことにはならなかった!

危険な状況だと嘘をついて、俺を引き離したお前が悪い。俺は……お前の言葉なんか信じた俺がバカだったんだ!

彼女が死んだときは、ひとりぼっちだったんだぞ。どれだけ心細かったか、わかるか?

美波、お前はずっと子どもを欲しがってたよな?だったら、お前も愛する者を失う痛みを味わえよ……!」

秋水は何度も何度も、赤ん坊に刃を突き立てた。小さな体は次第に血に染まり、肉は裂け、骨が露わになっていった。

私は崩れながら必死に説明した。「あのときは本当に危険だったの!」

けれど、彼はまったく信じようとしなかった。

あのときの赤ん坊の姿……十月十日、私の腹で育った命は、身体中に一片の綺麗な部分もなかった。

骨すら見えていた。

そして秋水は、赤ん坊を殺した後、VIP病室に火を放ち、私を焼き殺した。まるで葵と同じように。

前世の記憶、あのときの絶望と崩壊が、私の理性を焼き尽くそうとしていた。

そして今、秋水を呼べなかった私に対し、東村は怒りのままに十数回、ナイフを振り下ろした。

血が私の太腿を伝って流れ、屋上の黒い床にぽたぽたと落ちていく。

絶望の淵に立たされたそのとき――

義母が駆け上がってきた!

全身血まみれの私を見た瞬間、義母はその場にへたり込みそうになった。

Exceptional writing by a brilliant storyteller. I love all of Karima’s books. The plot twists, the intrigue, the characters are complex and interesting!! She’s one of my top 5 writers alongside Moonlight Muse, Cassandra M, Cooper & Alle.

I’m freaking out because the suspense in what will happen with Ronan gone how their issues will be resolved and freaking out about Camila getting pregnant once more time and he will not be around. Karma you’re killing us right now.
