Book 1: Between Them I gasped as he took my hand that was holding the towel, making it dropped and I was naked in front of him. "So young and beautiful, tell me...what's your name kitten?" "Claire." I breathed my answer. "I'm David, I want you to scream my name when I let you come. You understand me, kitten?" ***** I'm loving their company. I wouldn't advise this kind of relationship to anyone else unless you're ready to face the consequences. Most of the time you would end up sated, sore, and pleasured. For the rest, you have to handle jealousy and drama. How long will this relationship last? Let's find out, shall we? ** Warning!

夫は、私を愛していない。娘のことも、もっと愛していない。 娘が生まれてから、もう六年が経つ。それなのに、夫は一度も娘を抱きしめたことがない。 医者は言った。彼は「感情障害」だと。ただ、人並みに愛し方を知らないだけだと。 けれど、あの人——彼の初恋の人が戻ってきた日、夫は珍しく、私たちに微笑みかけたのだった。 そして、信じられないことに、娘にプレゼントまで買って帰ってきた。 私は、やっと心を開いてくれたのだと思った。これから少しずつ、父親になってくれるのだと。 そう思っていた。 でも—— その夜、娘と一緒に見てしまった。夫のスマホのロック画面に設定された写真を。 画面に映っていたのは、満面の笑みを浮かべた夫。片腕には前歯の抜けた女の子を抱え、もう片方の手では、彼の初恋の手をしっかりと握っていた。 娘は、そっと私の手を握りしめた。潤んだ瞳が、何かを訴えるように震えていた。 「ママ……もう、出て行こうか？でも……パパに、あと三回だけチャンスをあげてもいい？」 「その三回で、パパがやっぱり私たちを選んでくれなかったら……そしたら、一緒に行こうね」

私と紀戸八雲（きど やくも）との結婚は、最初から秘密だった。 結婚したことを隠してきたこの3年間、私は外に言えないくらい誇れない妻として八雲のそばにいた。 外から見れば、八雲は東市協和病院第一の執刀医で、冷酷無情で、唯我独尊の存在だ。いわゆる高嶺の花である。 したし私は、ただそのそばに立っているちっぽけな麻酔科のインターン生だった。 無数の真夜中で、私はいつも1人で家でその人の帰りを待っていた。広い部屋の中、寒くてたまらなかった。 自分がもっと頑張れば、もっと優しくなれば、いつかきっと振り向いてくれると思い込んでいた。 しかし現実は無慈悲で、残酷だった。 「あの人のところにもう行かないでくれない？」私は八雲の裾をギュッと掴んで、細い声で何度もお願いをしていた。 なのに八雲ただ笑った。その笑い声から明らかな嫌味を感じた。「ただの契約なのに、紀戸の奥さんは随分役に入り込んでるね」 * 月日が経ち、八雲のあの娘の前でしか表れない優しさを見てきた。 何も言わずに、私は静かに離婚協議書1枚だけ残して、家を出た。 それから、白銀の東市で、知れ渡ったあの紀戸先生は雪に埋もれた道端で膝をついて、涙目で復縁をお願いしてきた。「優月（ゆづき）、離婚しないでくれ」 その頬からぽつりと落ちた涙は、私の目から、すでに雪のような冷たいものになった。淡々と微笑みながら、私はこう答えた。 「もしかして紀戸先生も役に入り込んでるの？ごめんね、芝居に付き合う暇はないの。契約期限はもう過ぎたわ。告白したいなら、まず列に並んでちょうだい」

私が死んで三年目、夫がようやく私のことを思い出した。 理由は、彼の幼馴染が急性骨髄性白血病を再発し、再び造血幹細胞の移植が必要になったからだ。 彼は私が住んでいた家を探し出し、私に提供同意書にサインさせようとした。 しかし、そこにはすでに誰も住んでいなかった。 彼は近所の人に尋ねた。 近所の人は言った。「真希ってあの娘のことかい？もうとっくに死んじまったよ！病気の時に骨髄提供までさせられて、その数日後には亡くなったって話だよ」 彼は信じようとせず、近所の人が私と結託して自分を騙していると思い込んだ。 彼は苛立ちを隠さず近所の人に言った。「もし彼女に会ったら伝えてくれ。三日以内に姿を見せなければ、あの女が育ててるガキの医療費は一銭も払わないってな」 近所の人は彼の頑なな態度に呆れて首を振り、その場を離れながら呟いた。「あの子もかわいそうに、もうとっくに餓死してるんだってさ……」

夫が突然、SNSにこんな投稿をした。 「この身体はすでに国のために捧げた。もう君に尽くすことは叶わない」 何のことか聞こうとしたところ、彼から研究施設がある町行きの航空券が送られてきた。 そして、「任務は機密事項で、この間は連絡を取ることができない」と告げられた。 それから10ヶ月後、本来なら研究所にいるはずの夫が突然帰ってきた。そのタイミングで、私が妊娠検査を受けているところに鉢合わせたのだ。 8ヶ月に膨らんだお腹を見て、彼の顔は真っ青になった。「俺が10ヶ月も家を空けてたのに、なんでお前が妊娠してるんだ！」 私は肩をすくめて答えた。「3年間行くんじゃなかったの？10ヶ月で帰ってくるなんて、早すぎるんじゃない？」

Follow and carry out the rules the Floros' had given him—watch the kid, keep him out of trouble, and collect a generous paycheck. But Layland Floros is anything but a kid. Beautiful, bold, and entirely too provocative for his own good, Layland isn’t interested in being watched. With a bratty attitude that dares Gunner to break every boundary he’s set for himself when he's on the job, Layland turns a simple assignment into something far more dangerous. Gunner's never been with a man. Never even thought about it—until Layland. Now, every moment in that house is thick with tension, with heat that hums just beneath the surface. The more Gunner tries to keep things professional, the harder it becomes to ignore what he was really feeling towards the young man. Soon, duty gives way to desire, and Gunner finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn’t. But when the chemistry between them explodes into something real and raw, he’ll have to face the truth: babysitting Layland and carrying out the young man's parents' rules was never the hard part. Staying away from him is. And if Layland's parents find out what really happened behind the closed doors of their home, Gunner could lose more than just the job.

When the world was young, the Lord of the Heavens chose ordinary human beings to guard the knowledge of the civilizations. Three beings were gifted with immense power to protect the Chamber only they know where it was hidden. But an evil and malicious being was released from his prison and threatened to destroy the world. And a new set of Guardians have to be chosen. Tivona, Aedre and Parisa were chosen as the new Guardians. Despite their differences, they learned to get along. But...as every person has a past, so is every one of them. And their pasts may be their weakness or their strength to determine their role as Guardians and keeper of the Chamber of knowledge.

Quando eu estava prestes a sair do restaurante do meu irmão, a gerente me parou. — Senhorita, desculpe, mas a senhora não pagou a conta. Olhei para o rosto desconhecido e pensei que ela provavelmente era nova e não me reconhecia, então expliquei educadamente: — Coloque na conta do dono. Ele me conhece. A gerente me lançou um olhar de desdém. — Senhorita, este é um restaurante três estrelas Michelin. Não deixamos qualquer um fazer fiado. Ela me entregou uma conta impressa. Dei uma olhada. Cinquenta mil dólares por uma refeição. Três mil pela manutenção da louça, cinco mil pela purificação exclusiva do ar, dez mil por uma taxa de serviço VIP de "práticas relaxantes" e uma porção de outras cobranças absurdas. Eu nem sabia que o restaurante do meu irmão era um golpe desses. Não pude deixar de rir, incrédula. — Eu sou a irmã do dono. Se houver algum problema, diga a ele para falar comigo em casa. Mas ela simplesmente não desistia. — Se não pode pagar, pare de fingir que pode. E não finja que conhece o senhor White também. Mandei uma mensagem rápida para minha secretária: [Diga ao meu irmão para demitir essa gerente ou eu retiro meu investimento.]
