Realizing it would now fall upon her, to deal with the agreement for the sake of her family's protection, all hell broke loose, not for her but for her future husband.

Quando a família Costa estava à beira da falência, os pais de Daniel Costa vieram implorar por um casamento arranjado. Meu pai, com pena de mim por ter amado Daniel durante dez anos, investiu bilhões para salvar a família Costa e me casou com ele. Na noite de núpcias, Daniel cobriu meus olhos com um véu vermelho e me tomou repetidamente na cama, sem piedade. Um mês depois, cheia de alegria, eu fui até ele com o teste de gravidez nas mãos, mas acabei ouvindo uma conversa entre ele e seus amigos no bar: — Vocês acham que o filho que a Iolanda Moreira está esperando é de qual homem, depois de ser fodida por mais de dez caras? Um dos amigos caiu na gargalhada: — Mestre Daniel, eu só fui três vezes. Não pode ser meu, né? — Eu aposto no Leo! — Outro disse. — Ele é insano na cama. Naquela noite, ele fez a Iolanda gritar de loucura. Aposto dez mil que é dele! Foi aí que eu entendi. Naquela noite de núpcias, quem tinha feito sexo comigo tantas vezes não era Daniel, mas seus mais de dez amigos. Desesperada, eu invadi o bar e o confrontei. Daniel, sem um pingo de remorso, respondeu: — Está chorando por quê? Se a sua família não tivesse usado a injeção de capital para me chantagear, forçando a Rebeca a ir embora, eu nunca teria feito isso com você. Vou te dizer uma coisa: no dia em que a Rebeca me perdoar, eu te deixo em paz. Arrasada, eu pedi o divórcio. Mas Daniel me ameaçou com o vídeo daquela noite em que eu fui abusada por seus amigos e me trancou no porão: — Não tenha pressa de ir embora. Eu e meus amigos ainda estamos apostando quem é o pai dessa criança que você está esperando! Oito meses depois, eu dei à luz no porão e morri junto com o bebê. Quando abri os olhos novamente, percebi que havia voltado no tempo, para o dia em que a família Costa implorava ao meu pai por uma injeção de capital e um casamento arranjado. Desta vez, no dia do meu casamento, foi Daniel quem chorou até os olhos ficarem vermelhos.

Five years had gone by since my death. The cops called my mom and told her they got news about me. My mother and brother marched to my grandmother's home and kicked her door down. "Where's Charlie? That shameless woman has been hiding from us far too long. Her brother needs her cornea, and she's giving it to him!" "Charlie's dead," said my grandmother, sobbing. My mother sneered. "As if. The cops called us. They said they had her news. Hand her over or get out of the house, you hag." My grandmother looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. With trembling hands, she took my photo out. "I wonder if you've ever regretted saving your brother, Charlie."

서로를 사랑한 세월은 어느덧 10년, 부부로 지낸 시간은 6년이 지났다. 주변 모두가 고영훈이 송서윤을 세상 누구보다 아끼고 사랑한다고 믿었다. 그러나 모든 게 산산이 무너진 건, 느닷없이 집으로 애인이라는 여자가 찾아온 그날부터였다. 송서윤은 그제야 그가 보여줬던 깊은 애정도, 한결같았던 다정함도 모두 거짓이었다는 사실을 알아채게 되었다. 고영훈은 지난 5년 동안 다른 여자와 바람을 피웠고 그 여자와 혼외 자식까지 낳았다. 그 여자를 바로 코앞에 두고도, 그는 끝까지 다정한 남편인 척, 완벽한 가장인 척, 모두를 속이며 살아왔다. ‘서윤아, 사랑해. 정말 많이 사랑해.’, 입버릇처럼 내뱉던 그 말은 어쩌면 가장 잔인한 거짓이었다. 그가 맹세했던 사랑은 두터운 가면을 쓰고 지껄인 거짓일 뿐이었고 그 옆의 모든 이들이 그 연극에 동참해 송서윤을 속였다. 심지어 열 달을 뱃속에 품고 죽을 고비를 넘기며 낳은, 그리고 애지중지 키운 아들조차 그녀를 속이며 아빠와 그 여자 편에 섰다. 배신은 그 한 번으로 끝이 아니었다. 남편과 아들, 그리고 가족이라 믿었던 사람들에게서 두 번, 세 번 상처를 받은 그녀는 모든 게 우스꽝스러웠다. 더는 이런 가식적인 삶에 머물 이유가 없었다. 송서윤은 끝내 모든 걸 내려놓고 비밀 조직 ‘데미스’로 복귀하기로 결심했다. 이 지긋지긋한 거짓과 연민의 굴레를 벗어던지고 고영훈의 세상에서 사라지기로 했다. 한 달 뒤, 송서윤은 세상에서 완전히 자취를 감췄다. 그 뒤로 누구도 두 번 다시 그녀의 소식을 들을 수 없었다. 고영훈의 곁에도, 이제 더 이상 그녀는 없었다... 고영훈은 누구보다 송서윤을 사랑했다. 너무 사랑한 나머지, 자격지심이 불러온 화였다. 그녀를 잃을까 두려워 그만 돌이킬 수 없는 실수를 저지르고 말았다. 모든 걸 완벽하게 숨겼다고 믿었다. 겉보기에 두 사람은 여전히 행복한 부부일 것이고 송서윤은 영원히 아무것도 모를 거로 생각했다. 하지만 그 착각은 송서윤이 그의 곁에서 완전히 사라진 순간 무너졌다. 그때야 영훈은 뼈저리게 깨달았다. 가장 소중한 사람을 영영 잃게 되었다는 걸... 미쳐버릴 듯한 후회와 집착 끝에 영훈은 모든 걸 내던진 채, 세상 어디든 그녀가 있을 법한 곳을 찾아 헤맸다. 절박한 마음에 무릎 꿇고 빌었다. 스스로도 비참할 만큼 낮은 목소리로 읊조렸다. “한 번만... 한 번만 더 기회를 줘. 서윤아, 다시 날 사랑해 줄 수 없겠니?” 하지만 뒤늦게 후회가 밀려왔을 때는 이미 모든 게 끝나버린 후였다. 송서윤의 곁에는 새로운 사람이 생겼다. 이제 그와 그의 아들이 설 자리는 남아 있지 않았다.

And if you have a problem with that, take it up with the man who marked me. Any attempt or any threat to my life will be taken as treason and I will tear that person’s head apart with my bare hands.” I said, my voice sharp and low yet sure they could all hear me. “You can tell them, you can tell them all what I said and if anyone has anything to say about that, they can find me in the king's office.” … This is book 1 of ‘The Royally screwed’ series.
