The Husband Who Fell in Love With Me Twice のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

SELENE Ever since that picture of Sebastian and me began circulating online, my phone hadn’t known a moment of peace. Notifications flooded the screen nonstop. Messages. Mentions. Tags. Most of them were from television producers requesting interviews. Others were from people I didn’t even know, tagging me in posts and articles with dramatic headlines. Sebastian Kingsley’s Mystery Wife. The Hidden Mrs. Kingsley Finally Appears. I stood in the hallway of the gallery, leaning lightly against the wall as I scrolled through yet another notification. One of the tags led to a video, and curiosity got the better of me. I tapped on it. A group of hosts sat around a table, enthusiastically dissecting my marriage like it was a puzzle they had been waiting years to solve. They tossed around theories—why Sebastian had never shown me in public before, why he had kept me hidden for so long. My eyes lingered on the screen.Hidden wife. The words left a faint bitternes

I used to think the space between two people was harmless. Just distance. Just time. But standing beside Sebastian, watching the way his expression changed as he stared at the painting… I realized something else.Sometimes, that space holds things you cannot see.Things you don’t understand.Things that don’t belong to you.SELENE "Sebastian?" I called softly. No response. A strange feeling settled in my chest as I took a step closer, studying him more carefully this time. His expression wasn't blank. It was... unsettled. And for the first time since his accident, it felt like I was looking at a man who was remembering something— Something that didn't include me. My heart slammed against my ribs. If he was remembering... then everything I'd built could fall apart. "Sebastian," I called again, my voice quieter this time as I stepped closer. Saying his name now felt different. Like I was trying to pull him back from somewhere far away, so

I didn't understand him. Not the way he held me last night... not the way he pushed me away at the gallery... and definitely not the way my heart still chose him despite it all.SELENE I broke down. And I wasn't even sure why.Was it my mother-in-law’s threat?Or was it Sebastian’s words at the balcony? Maybe it was both. Maybe it was everything. It all came crashing down at once, settling heavily on my chest until it felt impossible to breathe. That was why I came out to the balcony in the first place, to be alone, to clear my head, to gather myself before I completely fell apart. But then Sebastian showed up. And he kept asking questions.Kept looking at me like he could see right through me. And I— I couldn't hold it in anymore. Because somewhere along the line, I had come to a realization I wasn't ready to face. That I might lose him the moment his memories return… And I still hadn't made peace with that.*** Thankfully, he didn't brin

SELENE I studied the projection screen as ideas streamed across the room. "I’ve already made a selection of the new artists whose work will be displayed," I stated as I turned slightly. "Sarah, send them an email and arrange a meeting." "Okay, ma’am," Sarah acknowledged, jotting it down. "What about Mr. Wallace?" I prompted, lifting my eyes to the rest of the team. George shifted slightly in his seat. "We’re still trying to reach him," he replied. "Though his secretary mentioned in our last correspondence that he isn't interested in working with us." A quiet breath left me. Mr. Wallace’s pieces were among the few I truly admired. His works carried a presence strong enough to define an entire exhibition. I had intended for his art to be one of the highlights, but getting through to him had proven nearly impossible. He was known for being elusive… and selective. "Keep trying," I insisted, folding my hands lightly on the table. "Do we know where he might be? We co

I didn't know where to look. Anton. Sebastian. Both of them standing there, pulling at two different versions of my life. And me... caught somewhere in between everything I had buried and everything I was trying so hard to protect. SELENE For a second, I was certain I was imagining it. Sebastian... here? No. That didn't make sense. It had to be the alcohol, just enough to blur reality, to make me see things that weren't there. He didn’t know about the team gathering. I hadn’t even replied to his text. So how could he be standing right in front of me? But then he moved. And my heart stuttered. He was real. Every step he took toward us made the air feel tighter, like something was about to snap. I just stood there, watching him close the distance. Then his hand found mine. He pulled me to his side like it was instinct. "We’re leaving." His voice was calm, controlled… but there was something beneath it. He spared Anton a brief glance. "Enjoy your
