Romans 8 38-39

My younger brother had opened a high-end beauty salon, so I took my mother there for a facial. We picked the most expensive package, but the moment the mask was applied, Mom's face began to burn. When we peeled it off, her entire face was covered in rashes. I called for the director, but she looked impatient. "Oh, that's just a normal detox reaction." I was stunned. "Her face is practically ruined! What products are you even using?" "Ruined?" She flared up like someone had stepped on her tail. "Your mom's skin is just too bad to handle premium nutrients! Once our products are opened, they're non-refundable—got it?" I pointed to the brochure. "It says right here—'gentle and non-irritating, full refund if any adverse reaction occurs.' Is this how Stellan Fallow taught you to run a business?" She crossed her arms and lifted her chin high. "I am the boss! You and your mother look broke as hell—clearly here to mooch a free treatment. Now that it didn't work, you're trying to scam us for money? "Let me tell you something—this set costs 38 thousand, and with my emotional damages and lost wages, that's a total of 100 thousand. If you don't pay up today, I'll have the police take you both in!" A hundred thousand for a product that ruined someone's face? It was no wonder Stellan suddenly wanted to open a salon—it turned out he and his girlfriend were running a scam together! I was about to call Stellan, but before I could, she hit the video dial first. "Bubby, get over here—two broke idiots tried to freeload a treatment and now they're trying to shake us down for money!"

이혼한 지 8년 만에 성지민은 병원에서 전 부인을 마주치리라고는 상상도 못 했다. 한때는 손에 물 한 방울 안 묻히던 천하의 귀한 아가씨 김도아가 어느덧 의사가 되었고 심지어 절름발이 신세가 되어 있었다. 일곱 살짜리 아들이 그녀가 누구냐고 물었을 때, 성지민은 한참을 머뭇거리다가 대답했다. “오랜만에 보는 옛 지인.” 성지민은 평생을 냉정하고 무정하게 살아왔다. 복수를 위해 수단과 방법을 가리지 않았고 치열한 사업 판에서 지금껏 수많은 더럽고 추악한 짓을 저질렀다. 그는 언제나 양심에 거리낌이 없었고 그 누구에게도 후회해 본 적이 없었다. 결코, 단 한 번도... 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 그해 그녀가 유리 조각을 자신의 어깨에 찔러넣고 목이 터져라 자신을 증오한다고 울부짖던 그 순간을 잊을 수가 없었다. 8년 전, 김도아는 가족들에게 버림받고 연인에게 배신당한 뒤 이 도시를 떠났다. 8년 후, 그녀는 이곳으로 돌아왔고 다시 성지민과 마주쳤다. 그에게는 아이가 생겼고 새로운 결혼반지를 끼고 있었다. 그녀 역시 새로운 연인과 아이가 있었다. 증오와 사랑, 얽히고설켰던 모든 것은 이미 지나간 일이 되었다. 그러다 김도아가 남자의 숨겨온 비밀을 알게 되는데... 성지민의 아이는 그녀의 아이였고 손에 낀 결혼반지 또한 8년 전 그녀가 바다에 버렸던 반지였다. 그는 그저 미친놈이었다. 집착이 심하고 고집스러우며 여전히 과거에 갇혀 사는 미친놈. 보육원에서 굶주린 들개처럼 스스로를 벼려 상권을 장악한 실세가 되기까지 성지민은 단 한 치도 허리를 굽힌 적이 없었다. 뼛속까지 시린 칼바람이 부는 겨울, 그토록 깊이 감추었던 침잠한 표정은 온데간데없이 사라졌다. 그녀를 붙잡기 위해 완전히 미쳐버린 성지민, 모든 것을 뒤엎고 난장판을 만든 후에야 그녀 앞에 무릎을 꿇었다. 그는 후회했다. 미치도록 후회했다.

I had lived for 326 years, but no day has haunted me as the day I had died. Blood pooled on the ground, feeding the earth as the earth once fed me. A scream bubbled up in my throat, but I could not let it go. If I let it go, I would let go of all the memories encased within me. The happiness of being a mother. Joys of having a husband who lived for us. To know that he would come home and find a corpse waiting for him. It was too much to bare. Even my dragon heart could not withstand the utter pain wrenching open my chest. I was Caligo. A dragon of Darkness, now darkness is what I shall become. May Mother have mercy on them, for they do not know what they now had brought upon themselves. 8 Dragon clans, uniting over the loss of their beloved Darkness Heir.

“You think you can tame an old daddy like me?” Mr. Domenico Lombardi’s stone-like voice makes me nervous, but I’m not backing down; I know what I want. “Yes,” I added a nod to confirm it but cursed internally at my luck. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and here I am trying to tame a man old enough to be my father. It is said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I guess I am truly Kate’s daughter. I had an internal laugh at my stupidity. He scoffed, and I responded by nodding once more while watching the darkening of the silvery gray pupils in his eyes. How come? I brush it off as his cold eyes wash over me. Domenico Lombardi’s presence makes me squirm. When I’m around him, I get the impression that I’m being judged and ignored at every turn. “How old are you?” “18” “How old is your father?” “38,” I replied truthfully. “Well, I’m 37 years old.” He stared at me; his eyes darkened again, and I became terrified. I fiddle with my nails, clipping them together as I lean back on my heels to help relieve some of the anxiety he’s causing me. “You see, I’m like a father to you, or maybe a grandfather or a great-great-grandfather. How many boyfriends have you had in your life?” “None.” He chuckled as I responded. “You see, I’ve lost count of how many ladies I’ve fucked, thousands or millions, over the centuries. You are just a little girl to me with nothing to offer; now, get lost!” “My panties made you hard!” “You think so?” “Yes,” I responded confidently. “Well, I wasn’t hard; I just have a donkey-like cock.”
