Ai No Dorama

The night before my wedding, I was in a terrible car accident. I fell into a coma, and my body was broken and bruised. While I lay unconscious, my fiancé called off the engagement and married his childhood sweetheart instead. My mother went to demand justice on my behalf—but never made it back. She died in a sudden, brutal accident along the way. In that moment of chaos, it was my childhood friend who stepped in. He knelt on one knee outside the hospital with a wedding gift of a hundred thousand dollars and quietly handled my mother's funeral. I was wheeled into surgery. I lived, but was left with a permanent disability. And still, he promised to stay by my side, for life. I was deeply moved. We got married. But five years later, I overheard him talking to his secretary. "Mr. Davidson, you arranged for someone to hit your wife with a car, just so Lucy could marry the one she loved. Aren't you afraid she'll find out?" "For Lucy, there's nothing I wouldn't do. I've already given Ruby the rest of my life. Isn't that enough?" I covered my mouth, holding back a sob. Only then did I realize—the marriage I believed in had been a lie all along. So be it. I'll disappear and let him be with the woman he truly loves.

"Ms. Medici, you've officially purchased the island. It's completely off the grid—once you're in, no one can find you. Also, the custom-made family you requested is ready. They're professionally trained to give you nothing but unconditional love."

On the day of my wedding to James Jonas, his best friend, Mia Rodriguez, appeared in front of me, pregnant. She cried with tears in her eyes, “Ames, you have everything. Please, just give James to me. I’m having… his baby…” I ripped off my veil and threw it on the floor. Turning around, I saw James' panicked eyes. Perhaps he remembered our contract: If anything goes wrong with this wedding, his fortune will be mine.

For a year, I’d lived a double life. During the day, I am Lila Montgomery, the heiress of Montgomery Industries. At night, I am just Lila, the woman Ethan was falling for. Or so I thought.“Grace,” he’d murmured in his sleep one night, his arms tightening around me. “Don’t leave again.” That was the first crack in my fantasy. The final crack that ended our so-called relationship was when he accused me of wanting to trap him with a baby. Now just days later, my mother wants me to meet Nicholas Baldwin, Ethan’s uncle. “Might be exactly what you need to forget his nephew.” I ignored my brother’s teasing, walking past him. “I don’t need another Baldwin man in my life.” But seeing Ethan now in person and with Grace by his side… “Nick,” I whispered urgently, “I need a huge favor.” He must have heard the desperation in my voice, “Name it.” “Pretend to be my boyfriend.”

After two years of marriage, I believed I was living the dream—until the day I gave birth to our long-awaited heir. The house was filled with joy as my husband's family arrived, bearing gifts and ready to bestow a name upon our child, as tradition dictated. But the happiness of the day shattered in an instant when my husband walked in, hand in hand with his childhood sweetheart. In front of everyone, he announced not only our divorce but also his engagement to her, as if I had never mattered. *** "I’m divorcing Stacy," Jason announces, his voice unwavering, "to marry Nicole Cruz, my childhood sweetheart." He points to the woman standing before him who smiles and waves at everyone in the room. My world tilts on its axis. The words echo in my mind, louder and louder until they drown out everything else. What is going on?? "But why?" I whisper, my voice barely audible, even to myself. I'm unable to believe his betrayal. Jason doesn’t even glance at the child in my arms. "Because this has been a long time coming, Stacy. I’ve only stayed this long out of obligation and not love."

The doctors said it was over—stage four, nothing left to fight. I had three days, max. I signed the organ donor papers myself. If I was gonna die, at least someone else could get a second shot. Told my family I was sick. But my so-called sister—the doctor—shrugged it off like I was making it up. She convinced them I was losing it, not dying. My parents and fiancé fell for it. Handed me over like she was some hero. She wasn't. She pushed me closer to the end. And when I finally died, the same people who wouldn't listen cried like they hadn't let it happen.

My father hates my mother for ruining his chance with his first love, and his hatred spills onto me, the unwanted child who carries her blood. I'm 18 when I'm kidnapped. The abductor calls Dad, who is a police officer, and threatens him. Dad thinks I staged the whole thing myself and tells the man to slice me apart if he wants to. The abductor tortures me to death. He even cuts my body into pieces and feeds it to the fish. Only then does Dad lose his mind. He tracks down the abductor and hacks him to death.

My father bought twin brothers from the black market to serve as bodyguards for me and my sister. My sister chose the tall, strong older brother, leaving me with the frail, mute younger one. Feeling sorry for him, I kept him close, seeking doctors for his silence and maintaining distance to respect his apparent OCD. I thought trauma had shaped him that way. But when our father's enemies kidnapped us, he abandoned me without hesitation, choosing to die shielding my sister. In his final moments, he spoke for the first time. "You finally see me." To me, he said, "In the next life, please don't choose me." I realized then that he was neither mute nor afflicted with OCD. His silence and aversion were directed solely at me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day we chose the bodyguards. This time, I'd grant his wish.

　聖痕（スティグマータ）の発現は、主に宗教的な人物の体に現れる超常現象だが、医学的には皮膚の異常出血や創傷として扱われ、皮膚科と精神科の交差領域で診察・研究される。血汗症や精神性紫斑などの診断名が用いられ、身体的・心理的要因の両面からアプローチされる。 　血汗症のメカニズム（極度のストレスによる毛細血管破裂）は、皮膚科の専門領域である。また、自己誘発性や心因性要因（トラウマ、信仰による暗示）が疑われ、精神科では、心理評価を実施する。自己血液感作症候群のように、精神的なストレスが引き金となる場合が多い。これらの分野が連携した「皮膚精神医学」が最も適切な診察領域と言える。

Ma meilleure amie, qui insistait pour ne pas se marier, a enlevé le sperme que j'avais choisi lorsqu'elle m'a accompagnée à la FIV, et je savais alors qu'elle était née de nouveau elle aussi. Dans ma vie précédente, je voulais avoir un enfant métis, alors j'ai eu recours à la FIV. A l'époque, mon amie se moquait de moi, me considérant comme complètement idiote d'élever un enfant pour un étranger, mais elle ne s'attendait pas à ce qu'un demi-mois plus tard, je sois emmenée chez la famille royale à Dubaï. Il s'est avéré que le sperme que j'avais choisi appartenait au prince métis de huit nations de Dubaï. Non seulement il voulait m'épouser, mais il promettait aussi que notre enfant hériterait du trône. Mon enfant et moi avons été valorisés par toute la famille royale, et j'étais parée de bijoux qui brillaient de mille feux. Ma meilleure amie, en revanche, a été licenciée de son entreprise et exclue de l'industrie en raison de son féminisme excessif, qui a suscité la colère de ses collaborateurs. Lors de la fête du 100e jour de mon fils, elle a utilisé toutes ses économies pour acheter un billet d'avion afin de venir me rejoindre. Lorsque je l'ai accueillie, elle a tué mon fils en le jetant par terre et a versé sur moi de l'acide sulfurique concentré. « Qu'est-ce qui te rend si chanceuse ? Tu ne le mérites pas, sal*pe ! » En rouvrant les yeux, je suis revenue au jour où j'ai demandé à ma meilleure amie de m'accompagner à la FIV...
