결혼기념일에 남편의 첫사랑이 SNS에 태아 초음파 사진을 올렸다. 그리고 남편에게 고맙다는 글을 함께 올렸다. [10년 동안 나를 지켜준 좋은 남자, 아들 선물해줘서 고마워.] 순간 눈앞이 캄캄해지며 나는 댓글로 남겼다. [상간녀인 줄 뻔히 알면서도 계속하는 거야?] 그러자 남편은 곧바로 전화를 걸어와 나를 꾸짖었다. “네 멋대로 생각 좀 하지 마! 난 그저 시험관 시술만 도와준 거야. 싱글맘이 되고 싶다는 소원을 들어준 것뿐이라고.” “그리고 혜리는 한 번에 임신했는데 당신은 세 번이나 했으면서도 아무 소식이 없잖아. 정말 쓸모가 없어서...” 사흘 전, 남편은 해외로 출장 간다고 하며 내 전화나 메시지에 아무런 답도 없었다. 그냥 바쁜 줄 알았더니 사실은 다른 사람과 산부인과를 다니고 있던 것이었다. 30분 후, 손혜리는 또 한 상 가득 차린 음식을 올렸다. [해외 음식이 이제 질려서 민재가 직접 요리해줌. 내가 좋아하는 음식들로만!] 그 순간, 내 손에 들린 임신 확인서가 차갑게 식어갔다. 8년간 깊이 사랑했고 결혼 후 6년을 참고 견뎠다. 이번에 나는 정말 놓아주기로 마음먹은 것이다.

결혼 10년 차, 남편 기연훈의 냉대에도 묵묵히 버티던 나. 사람들은 모두 내가 기연훈의 ‘스토커’라며 비웃었다. 심지어 기연훈 본인조차 그렇게 믿고 있었다. 하지만 아무도 몰랐다. 내가 그 곁에 남은 이유는 단 하나, 은혜를 갚기 위해서라는 걸. 그리고 오늘, 나는 내 임신 사실을 알게 되었다. 그 순간 마주친 장면은 기연훈이 류만정과 나란히 산부인과를 나오는 모습이었다. “오늘 밤엔 늦을 것 같아. 집엔 안 들어갈게.” 기연훈은 무심히 한 마디를 던지고, 류만정을 품에 안고 떠났다. 나는 말없이 돌아섰다. 그리고 조용히 임신중절수술 예약을 잡았다. 10년 전 맺은 은혜를 갚겠다는 약속. 이제 약속된 시간이 끝났다. 마침내, 이 비정상적인 결혼을 끝낼 때가 왔다.

Without my knowledge, Aileen—the daughter of Carlson Green’s first love—secretly lured my five-year-old daughter, Lena, deep into the Wolfsbane Forest. She told Lena there was treasure hidden in the forest. When a distress signal came from the forest, I rushed there with Carlson and the rescue team. The wolfsbane's poison spread silently, making it harder for Lena to breathe. She lay weak in the grass, her face pale, her heartbeat slowing down. Aileen, meanwhile, was sprawled on the path beside the wolfsbane. She only had a few scratches on her knees, but she was crying loudly. "Help me! It hurts so much!" I thought Carlson, the Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack and Lena’s father, would run into the forest to check on his own daughter. But he didn’t. Instead, he bent down, scooped Aileen into his arms, comforting her with care. His eyes were full of worry. "It’s okay now, Daddy’s here." I ran forward, my voice shaking. "Carlson! Lena is still in the wolfsbane grass! I can feel her breathing fading! Come with me to find her!" He only said calmly, "Lena is wearing my Moonstone Crystal. It protects her from wolfsbane. She will be fine. Aileen needs care and treatment more." The rescue vehicle left, taking Aileen and Carlson with it. I ran into the wolfsbane field and found Lena. She weakly tugged my hand. "Mom, don’t cry. It doesn’t hurt at all." "Daddy will come save me after he saves Aileen." Then she closed her eyes. And never breathed again. Even on the day of her funeral, Lena never got to see her father come to save her. Carlson Green, a life for a life. You, Aileen, and her mother will pay back everything you did to Lena—I’ll make you repay it a thousand times over.
